Four

Tuesday Sept 4, 2012

Tuesdays are apparently rest days for Shiratorizawa's volleyball team, so after class Goshiki asks me, "Do you want to go off campus to get something to eat? The volleyball upperclassmen and I are going right now."

No, there is nothing I'd want to do less than eat with a bunch of intimidating, large jocks.

I shake my head and say, "Nah, you guys go have fun. I have a premed club meeting anyways in 30 minutes anyways."

"Oh, ok then. See you tomorrow then," he gets up to leave, waving. I wave back and gather my stuff to get to the clubroom that Yumi told me yesterday.

I'm a little early but I decide to just wait inside til the other members come so I open the door.

And I see that I'm not the early one.

Sitting at a desk with a laptop out is a guy with badly cut, light brown hair and a cold-looking expression. At my entrance, he looks up.

I step in and say, "Hi, I'm Y/N, first year. Is this the premed club?"

At first he just stares, not saying anything. When I'm about to say something else, he finally speaks, "You're early but you can take a seat."

I nod and sit in the desk next to him. Geez, he's kind of cold. I get out my own laptop so I can set up a document to take notes when he says, "I'm Shirabu, by the way. Shirabu Kenjiro. I'm the co-president of our club."

"Ah, I see. No wonder you're here early. Nice to meet you," I reply.

"I could've been the only president but I'm in volleyball as well so I need to split the work with someone," he says, sounding a bit disgruntled.

My eyes grow wide with surprise. What are the odds that I met yet again another volleyball player this week? "Oh.. my god. I've met some of your teammates. Are there just a bunch of players on the team because the coincidence is just unreal."

He raises an eyebrow. "There's only 13 of us, as per the rules. Who have you met?"

"Well Goshiki, who I have homeroom with, then Tendou, Semi, and Ushijima."

Right then, the door slams open and Yumi strides in, her hands full of papers.

When she sees Shirabu and I, she smiles and says, "Hey, guys! OH, good you've both met. Sorry, Shirabu, I wanted to get here earlier to set up but I got caught up with some paperwork we need to fill out."

"I'm used to your tardiness. I guess it's fine though since freshmen, with the exception of Y/N, usually come last minute," Shirabu replies.

Despite his rudeness, Yumi stays her usual preppy self and comments, "As grumpy as usual, my good friend."

He ends up being correct though because right as the clock turns 4 o'clock, 10 or so first years pile into the classroom. It's a short meeting as Yumi and Shirabu just go over logistics and what we should expect from the club for the coming semester.

I go up to Yumi as she gather her things. "Hey Yumi, if you need a hand with the fundraising stuff, let me know. At my middle school, we help bake sales that usually did well, but it's just an idea," I say shyly.

She smiles so wide I'm afraid her face will split open. "Y/N! That's a great idea! I actually love baking so it might be right up my alley. I'll send out an email if anyone will be free next weekend if they want to contribute as well."

"Sounds good, I'll see you later then!" I reply, happy to help.

Shirabu is on his way out when at the last second I call out to him. Why? I'm not really sure myself.

"Hey, so um.. well I heard your team has a match this Saturday so Tendou and the others invited me to watch. I guess I'll see you then?" I say, a bit hesitant. He turns to me, his expression a little surprised. He then shrugs and replies, "Alright, do what you want. Make sure to learn the school cheer before then or you'll look like an idiot."

School cheer? Even spectators have to join in on that? I wonder as I watch him walk away. Sounds like a pain. Maybe I'll just sit in the very back so I don't have to learn it.

8PM

Buzz, bzz. Hey Y/N, can you help me with the calc homework for tomorrow? I can't figure these problems out.

It's from Goshiki. I text back, Sure, do you wanna come over to my dorm? I think it'll be easier to show you in person. I'm in building B, #42.

Buzz, buzz. Thank you so much! I'll be there soon.

I throw on an oversized hoodie over my t-shirt and shorts so I don't have to put on a bra. Not at 8 at night. No siree.

In a matter of minutes, there's knocks on my door and I open it to let Goshiki in.

"Sit at my desk, I'll explain from my bed," I tell him. It's not a big room so the two pieces of furniture are right next to each other, making it a perfect setup.

"Ok," Goshiki says, taking out his homework from his backpack. "Thanks, again. The upperclassmen and I were out a lot later than I expected so I just started on this."

I shake my head. "No worries, it happens. This just gives me an excuse to ask you for help next time haha!"

I help him through the problems and by the time we are done, it's 10:30PM. As if on cue, I yawn widely. Goshiki puts his things in his bag and throws it onto his shoulder, getting up to leave.

"Thank you, Y/N. I owe you one. See you tomorrow!"

"Bye!" I wave as he jogs down the hallway and close the door. I tread sleepily to my bed and before I hit the pillow, I'm out.
