A/N: Just imagine that the whole thing between Kageyama and Hinata, the 3 vs 3 thing between the first years, and the Nishinoya and Asahi thing have already happened, for the sake of the author's laziness and the story xD

*******

It had been 3 weeks since school started, but Ritsuna was yet to attend, as a result of her having to take care of her side of the family business. Her father was alright with this, as long as she completed all the work the school sent her, and took all the tests with an examiner monitoring her. 

However, her mother was not happy. 

She complained that girls Ritsuna's age should be enjoying a normal high school life, filled with making friends, joining clubs, and getting a boyfriend.

And on this note, Ritsuna was forced to get ready and dressed into her new uniform. 

After she had put on her brown contacts and gathered all her things, she was shoved into the black car outside that was heading for her new school:

Karasuno High School.

*******

As she patiently waited in the moving car, her stomach started to feel funny, and her head was feeling dizzy; it may or may not have been because of her nerves. After all, it was her 'first' day at Karasuno. Then again, it could have just been the early morning car sickness. Ritsuna was not one to visibly show obvious emotion. 

Taking out her phone, she scrolled through her photo gallery, when she suddenly stopped at an image that made her heart ache.

 It was of her and her two childhood best friends: Iwaizumi Hajime and Oikawa Tohru, who were 2 years older than her at the time. The picture was taken when she was 9 years old and at the airport, about to leave Japan to go to England. They were good friends, but Ritsuna had to leave, because her family had business to deal with there. They were the ones who got her into volleyball, and she worked hard everyday to balance volleyball, the family business and other trivial activities in her life.

 She returned to Japan when she was 15 years old, but after those 6 years, she figured that they had forgotten her; there was not one day where she did not think of them during her time in England. At the time, she found out that they were 2nd years in Aoba Johsai. 'I guess they're doing well.'  She thought, but she couldn't help but feel a painful pang in her heart, partly because she felt devastated at how easily they had forgotten her. They had sent letters (they did not have phones at the time), but those gradually stopped.

(A/N: If you were wondering why she didn't apply for Aoba Johsai or Shiratorizawa, it is because Karasuno was much closer, and she didn't particularly want to face Oikawa and Iwaizumi again. As for Shiratorizawa, it was too flashy. (Idk, interpret it the way you want to :P))

*******

Arriving earlier than the other students, Ritsuna nervously walked into the school through the gates and began to observe the environment that she would soon have to experience her high school life in. It was very quiet, with only the occasional noise of the wind, caused by the beating wings from the birds above, but that just may be because the school was near deserted. 

Taking her first steps into the building, Ritsuna took a large breath and searched up and down the corridors for the faculty office. On her way, she passes by the notice board, where all the club posters were hung up.

There were a variety of interesting clubs, like: The Art Club, Literature Club, History Club. But one in general caught her eye: 

Volleyball Club.

Scanning the paper, she learned that it was a unisex one, which was quite rare, and that they had morning, lunch and after school practice every school day.

'That means...'  She thought to herself, as she turned around and headed outside, to the large building that was most likely the gym. 'I'm early anyway. I'll go to the faculty office later.'

As she headed towards the hall, she could hear the faint sound of squeaking shoes, and the echo of balls being dropped onto the floor. Two minutes later, she found herself in front of what appeared to be the gym, and the source of the noise. She slowly opened the gym door- enough for her to look through a small crack. Just barely in her field of vision, she could see 2 male figures: one who was quite short compared to the taller male, but taller than her, and had a head full of orange hair and brown eyes. The other was very tall, with black hair, and piercing blue eyes.

She watched as the white, green and red volleyball flew through the air, and focused on the tall male who then tossed it to the short one. Before she even had the time to blink, the ball was spiked over the net and onto the ground. Her eyes widened slightly in shock. 'A... quick? No, that wasn't a quick- it was a freak quick!'

"There it is again: the freak duo quick!!!" Says a near bald figure.

"KAGEYAMA!!! THAT SPIKE JUST NOW WAS LIKE 'GWAAAAHHHH!' AND 'WOOSH!' WHEN IT HIT MY HAND, IT FELT GREAT!" The one with orange hair yelled, looking up at the one that Ritsuna learned to be called 'Kageyama', with stars in his eyes.

"HINATA YOU DUMBASS! DON'T CLOSE 'YA EYES WHEN YOU SPIKE THE BALL, DUMBASS!" Says Kageyama, wacking the back of Hinata's head.  

Without even noticing, her heartbeat sped up, and she felt more excitement than she had ever felt before. She wanted to spike that toss.

She wanted to play volleyball.

Walking back to the the main building and to the faculty room, she couldn't wait to visit again after school.

'I'm gonna work hard to join the volleyball club team.' She thought, secretly smiling like an idiot to herself.
