▪︎High Expectations▪︎

During the ride back, we all easily fell asleep on the bus except for Sensei and coach since they're in charge of driving the bus. By the time we got back, the sun was already setting and saying goodbye to us. Ah! I'm so tired! That just felt like a 20 minute sleep! It's not enough! I yawn into my hand as I grab my stuff from the bus. Ugh I sure can't wait to crash my bed once I get back home. We played so many matches with such tough opponents, I feel worn out just by remembering the feeling.

"All right. Get your things and head straight to the gym for a meeting" Huh?! We have a meeting? But I'm so tired.

"It looks so good, how much did it cost?" Nishinoya ask while he went through the shopping bag. I shrug my shoulder.

"Probably cost a lot..." I said. When Nishinoya was done staring at the volleyball shoes, he hand it back to me with it placed back in the shopping bag. Lets just get this meeting over with.

"Oh, they're back. Congrats on making it to the finals!" A girl said as she approach us with two other girls. Uh...do we know her?

"Oh, Michimiya. How did you know?" Daichi you know her?

"They just announced it on the school announcements. That's amazing! The fact that you were able to beat Seijoh and made it to the finals is just...is just...Amazing! It's insane!" The girl at the front said. She's called Michimiya right?

"Your lack of vocabulary is insane" The girl beside her said. Well I'm gonna have to agree with that.

"Wait, what happened to your face?! That bruise!" Michimiya ask in concern. Daichi gently touch the bruise on the side of his face.

"Yeah...It happened at the match today...It looks a lot worse than it actually feels" Daichi explained. Oh I'm embarrassed just by remembering how worried I was back then. I was literally in the urge of crying...or maybe I already was.

"I see..." The girl smiled softly.

"Hey, boys' volleyball team" A voice came from the left side of where we're standing at so we all looked at that direction. We were obviously surprised to find some students standing by the opened window while giving us a greeting smile.

"That was amazing!" "Congrats!" The students said in a polite way.

"Hinata! Kageyama! Well done!" Their teacher added.

"Yamada!" I blush when I saw a wild Emi running towards me with her arms wide open. She suddenly pulled me in a hug and started planting kisses on my cheek.

"Argh stop! This is embarrassing!" The others try their best not to let their chuckles slip out as they watch me get affection by Emi. Control yourself woman!

Soon the whole school was congratulating us from their classroom windows. Oh is this how it feels to be appreciated? Not like I've never felt that feeling before but...I...Okay the point is I'm happy and so are the others. Wait isn't classes over? Did they seriously stay back just to congratulate us? I never thought I'd witness such a warm reunion. Suddenly the girl named Michimiya, her eyes begin to sparkle when she thought of something.

"M-sta Miyagi is gonna start!" She said. The what now? Without furthermore explanation, we went to the teachers' office to watch some news on their TV. Uh what is this about?

"Good day-evening! Today, the Sendai Municipal Gymnasium in Tomizawa hosted the quarter and semifinals of the Miyagi prefectural qualifiers for the National High School Volleyball Tournament, otherwise known as the Spring Volleyball Tournament" We all stood or sat around the TV as we pay attention to the monitor.
