The day had finally arrived. Of course I hadn't slept a wink, instead resorting to tossing and turning the whole night. My comforter was on the floor, the sheets were ripped out from under the mattress, one was balled up near the head of the bed, another hanging off the side.

I rubbed my eyes as I attempted for the third time to put my hair up into my ponytail. The adrenaline was going to kill me, after this I knew I was going to crash.

The girls on the team mulled about behind me. I watched in the mirror as they went about their business like it was a normal game. It technically was but to me it wasn't.

Either way we were making into playoffs, no doubt about it. However, Aoba Joshai had a good season too. So did the rest of the district. If we won we could knock them down a peg. Depending on the results of other games today they could miss the playoffs entirely with a loss to us.

I felt horrible thinking it but I wanted them to loose and I wanted them to loose to me.

I finished putting up my ponytail, finally satisfied enough with how it looked.

I turned to see some of the girls looking at me. A few gave me warm smiles. Finally, Chiya came over to me and patted me roughly on the shoulder. "Listen, we've got your back no matter what happens out there."

I felt my shoulders relax a little as I let out a deep breath. "Thanks Chiya."

"And hey, if it doesn't work out you still got that hot man of yours." Akane nudged her on the girl on the back of her head, making her emit a small 'oof' as he head moved foreword. She turned towards the girl and stuck her tongue out to her.

"Miyumi you know what you're doing, just keep your head in the game and do what you always do. This is a normal team and this is an everyday game, no matter who is on the other side of the field."

Chiya did something and Akane sighed. "Either way you know Oikawa will be here for you no matter what. So will Junko, so will Iwaizumi, your parents and  all of us. One win isn't going to divide us."

"Thanks Akane. That was really inspiration." I said with a nervous laugh. "I appreciate it."

"Group hug!"Chiya yelled as she threw her hands in the air. The team got up from their benches or stepped away from their lockers and we all stood together, holding onto each other in a giant group hug.

I laughed as I shook my head, trying to not hit someone in the face with my ponytail. "Alright guys, we've  got this. So let's get out there and let's show them who the real winners are!"

A collective yeah filled the locker room and we grabbed our things and quickly made our way out to the field. I stopped at my locker to put my phone away when I saw the text.

Oikawa:
You'll go great because you're the most hardworking person and the most beautiful girl I've ever met. So go out there and win!

Oikawa:
Then, Afterwards I'll reward you ;) something very sweet ;) you'll love it

I rolled my eyes but smiled all the same. I typed back.

Miyumi:
In your dreams Oikawa.

Miyumi:
But you may have a chance if you cheer for me the loudest.

I then closed my phone and put it into my locker.

I took one final deep breath before I ran out after my teammates. Today I'm going to prove everyone wrong. With my team behind me we can do anything.
