It had been an hour. A long draining hour of listening to flirting and giggles coming from the end of the gym. They needed him to leave so they could close the gym. How selfish! Hatori stood fuming to approach the pretty boy setter when a voice yelled beside her. "That's enough Shittykawa!" the sound of a volleyball ricocheting off of the brunettes head caused the gym to go silent. A loud cry of "IWAAAAAAA" left the captain's lips. His fangirls crowding around him in concern as he cradled his skull. Iwaizumi kept a sour look on his face picking up the rolling volleyball from the ground while the other Iwaizumi giggled behind her hand.

"Not you too, Hatori-chan" Oikawa looked up with watery eyes. Hatori shook her head, placing her hands on her hips, a smile still very pleasant stretched across her face almost evilly. "Well i'd like to go home at some point today, Toru." She spoke sweetly, biting her lip to keep her smile from splitting her lips open as Oikawas fangirls gasped around him.

"Oikawa-senpai how come she can say your name?" one of them whined, grabbing his forearm with a tug. Hatori had learned over the two months she had spent with her cousin and his flirty best friend that Oikawa's fangirls were fun to mess with. One, because they were so obsessed with him they were easy to tease, and two whenever she riled them up Oikawa had to deal with them afterwards. Though she really wasn't evil afterall she only did it when he really got on her nerves. Such as today making practice run extra late due to his chit chat with his little fan club. Oikawa mumbled his goodbyes to his fangirls while Iwazumi stood beside her grasping both his and Hatori's backpacks in his hand.

He had refused to let her carry it out of the school since the one time she left it in the gym after a particularly late practice night and they had to hike their way back and get it. She had an assignment due the next day worth forty percent of her grade and she really didn't want to hear back from her teacher about it. She was new to the whole school thing anyway,

Two months ago her parents and Hajime's had decided to partake in a seven month vacation leaving her to live with her cousin Iwaizumi. It was the first time they had ever done something like this so both Iwaizumi's were royally shocked. Previously homeschooled her whole life and only meeting Hajime five times before at family events things were awkward and rocky at the start. He had no clue how to act around her so for the first couple of days the two ignored each other until she enrolled at Aoba Johsai. It would be her first and last year in school as she started as a third year.

Hatori had stuck to Hajime like glue as soon as the semester began having no idea what to act or do. Her only reference for school was every teenage love story she'd read or seen on tv. After that Iwaizumi had quickly become like a big brother to her. It was as if once he had a mission to 'protect cousin and guide her through school' it clicked for him to help her out. He was very stubborn but always there to offer a hand. Hatori had even come to learn he was a bit of a goof when he didn't have to be the responsible one in the group.

She'd even stayed for his practices after school not knowing the area very well, it felt safer walking home with Hajime. This inevitably led her to one Oikawa Toru who was not only the volleyball captain but a raging flirt. When the news broke out that the girl who was leaving practice everyday with Iwaizumi was related to him the team had erupted into two sounds. One of great joy and the other of grumbling and digging one thousand yen out of their pockets. This made Hatori not only laugh but wave her hands in a raging denial of dating her cousin. Before this she was only an observer, it was nice to partake in the boys team antics.

"Well this is definitely welcome! Two Iwa-chans!" Oikawa lit up, slinging his arms over the two. Matsukawa, who had just obtained ten yen from Hanamaki brought an index finger to his chin. "So, should we both call you Iwaizumi?" he questioned. "Of course not, we can't have two very different people with the same name!" Oikawa chimed in with a smirk rising on his lips.
"Iwa-chan will just be Hajime-chan!"
