F/n, have you seen my knee pads?” Akina asked me while she looked around the locker room while I finish changing into my practice clothes

“You left them on the bench over there.” I said nodding my head in the direction of where her knee pads laided 

“Oh! Thank you!”  She said with a smile before grabbing them and sitting next to me before adding “I can’t believe we have practice the day before Christmas.” 

“Yea, but think about all the food we are going to eat then work off.”

“Yea yea.” Akina said with a sigh while she looked at me

“What are you doing for Christmas?” 

“I have nothing planned, since Testuro is still in Brazil.” I explained while I slipped on my knee pads

“You could come over to Nami and mine apartment, so that way you are not alone on Christmas.” Akina said before adding “I could pull our old yearbooks, and maybe it can help your memory.” 

“I wouldn’t want to be the third wheel.” I said in defence while I started to tie my laces

“No, Nami has talked about how she wants to meet you once again.” Akina explained while we both got up

“Are you sure?” I asked and Akina nodded

“Yes I am sure! Nami always makes extra anyways.” Akina said with a smile while she opened the door leading to the gym to meet the girls who wore the same t-shirts as us, with Black Jackals written across the chest.

“Warm up before starting your laps, afterwards we will do some drills before finishing with a scrimmage.” Our coach directed us before motioning for us to warm-up

“F/n, you are going to be on my team, right?” A girl with red hair asked before being interrupted by a brown haired girl

“No, she is going to be on my team.”

“Seems like you are pretty popular.” Akina teased while she stretched her leg, drawing closer to me

“Yea, but I still haven't learned many names yet.” I complained while I stretched out my shoulders

“That's part of being the new girl.” Akina said causing me to smile

“Yea, I guess.” I said before we started our laps around the gym, while Akina and I tried to outdo the other

“F/n!” The head coach called me with a wave while I finished my last lap, while the assistant coach headed towards the group of girls to direct them.

“Yes, coach?” I said while I stopped in front of her

“What positions did you play in highschool?” She asked 

“I played as an Ace, along with playing the position as a Libero for a year.” I explained causing her to nod

“That what I thought, no wonder you have such strong receives.” She said with a smile before adding “I want you to work on the setters position.”

“Setter?” I repeated and she nodded

“It’s my job to prepare those I believe who can make it to the next level, having a strong balance in all of the positions will give you an advantage.” She explained before adding “Also it will help reading the competition.”

“Yes, ma’am.” I said causing her to smile

“For this drill I want to switch half-way through so you can get some work in both positions.” She said causing me to nod before joining the rest of the team
