you sat and watched the guys play. watching them have fun on the court brought back memories of you having the same fun. the thrill you got from hitting the ball. the sound of their arms hitting the ball and their shoes squeaking brought tears to your eyes. you missed those days where you would wake up and head to the gym to practice your sets. those days when you had best friends. those days before the accident.
you looked at your wrist seeing the scar on it, at the court, then back to your wrist realizing a few tears had fallen. quickly, you wiped your eyes and opened the carton of milk from kageyama. drinking it, you calmed yourself down and got up making your way to the coach asking if you could use the gym after practice. agreeing, he gave you the keys and you sat back down waiting for it to be over. [4:37 pm] practice ended and the left to go change. you waited 5 minutes to see if they would come back. thinking they had gone home, you got up placing a water bottle on one side of the court running back over to the other. grabbing a volleyball from the cart, you tossed it in the air hitting it over the net knocking down the water bottle. after doing it a few more times, you decided to try some thing you haven't done in years.
setting the bottle up in the left corner where the paint lines meet each other, you ran over to the opposite corner facing the wall. with your back turned against the doors not noticing the team of boys coming back in silently, you threw the ball up hitting it at an angle making it go forward then curve knocking over the water bottle once more.

(idk if that was a good enough explanation, so here's this diagram lmao)
the loud claps from behind you scared you making you jump the fall to the floor breathing heavily. "HOW THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT?!" screamed nishinoya. "THAT WAS AMAZING!" hinata added as the rest of the team gave you compliments. "i-i don't know" you stuttered trying to find an excuse not wanting to explain how you could do it. "please teach us!" hinata and nishinoya said in sync running up to you grabbing your hands. sugawara run up after them pulling them back. "don't run up and grab her like that it's rude" he scolded.
