[thursday 11:20]

y/n hadn't texted hanamaki back since sunday night, when he oh so graciously ruined their conversation. she was so angry that he messed it all up. things had finally been going well for them and then he had to go do that.

she didn't bother telling the boys about it, because she knew that they'd just say 'they told her so' and she didn't want to deal with that. besides, this week was super important. both today and tomorrow decided who would be representing the miyagi prefecture at nationals.

aoba johsai was playing karasuno, the winner between the two determining who shiratorizawa was up against tomorrow. a small part of her wanted karasuno to lose, just so she could watch her team defeat seijoh once more.

she wasn't sure why hearing the enemy comment from hanamaki was so disheartening. maybe it was the fact that she couldn't escape the volleyball world no matter how badly she wanted to. even when she thought someone apart of it was able to separate the sport from their personal life.

to everyone around her, she'd always be known by her name and what she did. to outsiders; the only daughter from the l/n family and the only one who didn't follow their footsteps. to her schoolmates; the volleyball manager and ushijima wakatoshi, semi eita, and tendou satori's friend. and now to hanamaki takahiro; the enemy.

she couldn't compare their situation to a modern day romeo and juliet, either. their opposing schools didn't factor into whatever relationship was to come. her friends, along with his, approved of the two of them. how was he the only one who didn't?

maybe he just wasn't into her.

whatever it was, she didn't have time to worry about it. she had to focus on being the best manager for her team.

she knew the boys were gonna win as soon as they stepped onto the court. there was no doubt that they would lose for even a second. the other team might as well have just forfeited, their morale through the floor as soon as ushijima spiked his first ball. it didn't help that he got five continuous service aces in the first set and then another seven in the second.

tendou's guess blocking was at its best today, too. every time the other team tried a feint, he just knew, jumping and deflecting the ball right back to their side. his blocks alone scored the team a good chunk of their points in both sets.

and then semi came in clutch with his amazing serves when they counted. whenever they were just a few away from match point, coach washijou would sub him in to make sure things got done.

it seemed that the team was excited to play aoba johsai again, ready to battle it out for nationals like they have the past two seasons. the third years were stoked to close out this chapter of their lives.

and they were certain it was seijoh they'd be up against, especially after the upset they gave karasuno back during the prelims.
