The second set had just started and things were already going really fast. Shiratorizawa's players were upset after losing the first set, so they were giving all they had. But you were focused on someone else... that setter.

You didn't know what it was, but you couldn't put your eyes off of him. You were analysing all his moves. They looked pretty simple from afar, but they were hella precise.

Each pass was different depending on the spiker and his position on the court. It looked like he always tried to give each player the pass they prefered and that he knew they would score.

However, not only his passes were impressive, but so were his serves. They were phenomenally powerful... 'I didn't know a second year could actually be able to have such a level. I'm sure grandpa would have wanted him in Shiratorizawa.'

The referee whistled. Seijoh scored another point. They were leading 12 to 10. Shiratorizawa surely wanted to catch up.

The group of Shiratorizawa's supporters was cheering loudly from the beginning of the match and it was seriously starting to annoy you. 'It's a friggin' practise match ! Why do they have to be this loud ? Tch...'

You turned your head back to the game. It was Seijoh's turn to serve. The setter's serve. You were staring at him, ready to see his strong serve again. He started to spin the ball in his hands, and suddenly lifted his head towards you. You started. He was looking you intently in the eyes. You couldn't move. Not even to break the eye contact. It felt like it was lasting forever... Then he winked at you and turned back his head, now facing the other team, smirking.

'WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT ?' you thought. 'Does this guy think he can just wink at random people and go back to play ? What a weirdo...'

After what just happened, you decided to no longer look in his direction, and started watching Tendou.

The set was coming to an end and Seijoh was still leading the game. 'Are they seriously gonna win this match ? It would be a shame for us... Losing in our own territory.'

It was their match point. You discreetly looked at the setter, who was about to serve. 'The pressure must be so intense.' He looked really focused, then threw the ball in the air, took a few steps, jumped, and hit it with all his strength. The ball crashed at the edge of the opponent's field, without anyone having had time to react.

The referee whistled the end of the match, and Seijoh's team jumped for joy... except one person, panting, staring at you.

You just couldn't understand this guy. Why did he wink at you in the first place... like, you don't even know him ! And now, instead of celebrating his victory with his teammates, he was staring at you. Was this some kind of provocation ? 'It doesn't look like he's tryna provocate me, but he's not even trying to hide himself ! Like isn't it a bit embarrassing to make eye contact with a stranger for so long ? What a weirdo really...'

Later

"Aaghh ! I'm so mad ! This is so frustrating..."

"Tendou it's okay, you did your best. And your performance was honestly really good."

He has been complaining for about fifteen minutes now about the match...

"But we couldn't win ! Shiratorizawa's reputation is going to go down."

"No it's not ! It was just a practise match, it's not like a lot of people will hear about it anyway... And they had a good level too."

"I know right... I swear the next time we play against them I'm gonna crush them ! Especially that cocky setter of theirs..."

"Mhm... Wait what ? That setter you said ? Do you know him ?"

"I don't know him personaly, why do you ask ? Are you interested ?" he asked, teasing.

"What the hell ?! Of course not ! I was just wondering who he was..."

"Haha then why are you blushing ? Just kidding I know you're lesbian... Heard his name is Oikawa Tooru, he's a second year."

"But I'm not a lesbian ! You know what, I'm going home... Goodbye !" you said, fakely pouting.

"I know you're not mad !" he said, laughing.

"I am !"

You took the path to your house, giggling. This day had been long ! Well, it was only twelve o'clock, but you were already exhausted... even though you didn't really move. You sighed.

"Oikawa Tooru..."
