♢ Ch 2: Volleyball Club

Lunch has begun. You brought out your (favorite character) bento box which was neatly wrapped up in a (favorite pattern) cloth. You decided to eat somewhere else, due to the disrupting ambiance of the classroom. You got up, pushed your chair, and headed to a quiet place to eat.

You reached to the outside of the building you were at. You found a clean bench to sit on, and it was under a tall tree that loomed over, enough to shade the entire object. You sat down and ate in peace.

In the middle of drinking your (favorite drink), you saw a figure from the side ran to the outside hallway hurriedly, and then looked around desperately, as if he was searching for someone. Based from the piece of brown hair that stood on top of the person's head, you knew that it was him.

"Yamaguchi-san!" you called out his name.

(Note: Y/L/N)=Your last name)

He pivoted around and grinned. "(Y-Y/L/N)-san! There you are..." He murmured at the last sentence. The freckled boy ran up to you. "I-Is it okay if I sit with you?" He asked shyly, shuffling his feet on the dirt ground.

You nodded shyly and scooted to the end give him space. He sat down at the other side. He opened up his bento and quietly ate.

Silence filled the air between the two of you. You just finished your lunch and started to pack away. You glanced at the boy and caught him staring at you. He flinched and apologized.

"Hey, Yamaguchi-san, are you in a club right now?"

"Mhm... I-I'm in the volleyball club. Why did you ask?"

Your eyes enlightened. "Really? That's cool! Ah, um, you see, I'm trying to find a club I could join in." You shrugged. "But I guess I can't join the volleyball club since I'm not really good at sports, I just watch people play sports..." (A/N: Just pretend that you're not good at sports even if you are >w<)

He gasped and clasped your hands together with his as an imaginary light bulb appeared above his head. "Then why not be a manager for our team?!"

You staggered back a bit at his reaction, blushing. "M-Manager? Me?"

"Yea!"

You looked away. "W-Well..."

"What? Her in the volleyball club?" A voice interrupted. The two of you turned your heads to see the blond haired man who called you 'loser' from nowhere.

"T-Tsukki? H-How did you get here?" Yamaguchi questioned and shook nervously like a tiny puppy.

He raised his shoulders. "Because I want to. Let's go leave this girl, Yamaguchi."

You clenched your fists. "Why you..!" You went up to him, staring at his intimidating eyes fearlessly.

He laughed. "What are you gonna do? Slap me? Punch me? Go ahead and try to do it if you can."

You gritted your teeth. You did not hesitate to throw a punch at his face. However, he stopped it quickly and pinned you down on a wall, not taking his eyes off of yours. Your face turned deep red. You tried to force open your mouth to speak, but no words came out. He laughed again. "Pathetic." He then released you. "Let's go, Yamaguchi," he demanded. "Now."

He stood there for a while, speechless and shocked. "O-Okay.."

Before they left, Yamaguchi approached you. "I'm very sorry for what my friend, Tsukki, did. U-Um, if you'd like, we could see each other again after school at the gym; we have volleyball practice today. Well then, I-I'll be waiting for you." He sent you a shy smile and followed this 'Tsukki' person.

Classes are dismissed. You had to stay in the classroom for a moment to finish receiving the work that was done during the time you weren't in the class yet. After that, you speed-walked your way to the gym, and saw Yamaguchi anxiously waiting for you by the gym door. You curved your lips and waved your hand in the air. "Yamaguchi-san! Sorry for the wait!"

His face lightened up when he saw you. "(Y/L/N)-san! I'm glad you came. Let's go inside." He motioned you to go after him.

"U-Uh, g-guys.." he said softly. When nobody paid attention to him, as everyone was minding their own business, preparing the court or gabbling with each other, he took a deep breath and screamed on the top of his lungs, "G-G-GUUUUUUUUYYYYSSSS!!"

Everybody averted their gaze to him. His face flushed. "U-U-Uhh, u-um... T-This girl here w-wants to join the v-vih-vuhh-volleyball club as a m-m-manager..!!"

The boys went up to you, gazing at your features from head to toe. "Cute~..." they all blurted out in unison, making you blush.

Then, a black haired woman came. She was stunningly beautiful and gorgeous. Her silky hair swayed gracefully from side to side as she walked. You gazed at her, amazed at such a person.

"Hello. You're here to join the club as a manager, right?" she asked. "My name is Shimizu Kiyoko. Nice to meet you."

"M-My name is (Y/F/N)! I-It's a pleasure to meet you, too!" You bowed politely.

"Well, (Y/N), I was just looking for managers to replace me as soon as us, third years, graduate. There is someone who is also looking forward to take my position the following year too."

Another girl who is about the same height as yours approached you nervously. "I-I'm Y-Y-Yachi H-Hitoka...! P-Please be good to me!" She bowed a couple of times.

"S-Same goes here!" you said.

"I guess Kiyoko-san is going to be training both of you, huh?" A man with light gray hair, whose name is Sugawara, commented.

"Kekeke~ Nishinoya, isn't the situation getting hotter and hotter when more girls surround us?" Another dude with a shaved head and scary looks added.

"Woah!! A new club member! Sweet! Let's show her who's the better player, Kageyama!" An energetic ball of sunshine, Hinata, exclaimed to his taller friend. He agreed to do so and they both rushed to the court.

Your lips formed a wide smile. Who knew that the voleyball club would actually be worse than you thought. Heck, this would be way easier!

Until...

You felt a towering presence from your back. Your eyes widened as you looked behind you, only to be greeted by the four eyes that you hated. You shrieked and clung onto Yamaguchi in fear, making his cheeks turn pink.

"Tsukishima, you shouldn't scare off our new club member, (Y/N), like that," the captain of the team, Daichi said.

"'T-Tsukishima'?" You fixed yourself and lifted your head high to face him. Maybe all the bullying he's done was a misunderstanding, so it's time for things to start fresh. "I'm (Y/F/N). P-Please take care of me." You politely made a bow.

The only thing that was returned to you was a smug look and a laugh. "What the hell?" He pressed a finger on your forehead. "Lame." He flicked it, leaving you yelping in pain while covering the painful spot.

"O-Oi! Tsukishima! Tsukishima Kei!" Sugawara wanted to scold him, but he had already walked far away. "Sorry about all of that, (Y/N). Tsukishima can be kind of... ehehe, don't mind, don't mind. Why don't you stay with Kiyoko and Yachi and learn the basics? They can help you get started."

You shook your head in agreement and obeyed. Just before heading to the girls, you curiously glanced at Tsukishima one more time, who was wiping his glasses. When he put them back on, he noticed your gaze. His eyes grew for a second, and averted from yours.
