Before long, Matsushita was in his third year. Everything changed at school.

The previous third years had graduated, and new first years were joining the volleyball club.

University was a year away.

Kuroo became team captain.

Kuroo also got a girlfriend.

Ito Haya, a second-year and a drop-dead gorgeous one at that.

The day Kuroo introduced her to the team nearly everyone was in disbelief. Kuroo was a total nerd. Granted, he was an attractive one, but he didn't seem to have any skills when it came to flirting. He was called a cradle snatcher in almost every practice.

Ito Haya was famous in her first year for being voted most likely to bang a third year. As for why straight boys made such a list, Matsushita had no clue. But could definitely understand why.

She was both naturally beautiful and artificially beautiful. She wore a decent amount of eye makeup and faint lipstick, but her face was pretty. She had mousy brown hair that cascaded over her shoulders and had lovely volume and shape with waves. Her eyes were bluish color with a slight hint of green, and her pale face was fixed with by her flushed cheeks. Her button-down blouse hugged her breast gently and complimented her narrow waist. She also had a lovely smile. The way Kuroo and Ito looked at each other was sickening.

Matsushita couldn't stand love birds.

Nekomata had arranged a practice match with some school in the country called crows to start off the year.

No, it was called, Karasuno.

The doors swung open as several high school students wearing black walked in. It was definitely Karasuno.

"Wha! You're the guy from the corner!" Someone shouted. Matsushita glanced over to see a short ginger point at Kenma. Kenma, who usually looked uncomfortable in these situations, offered the boy a small smile in return. Matsushita looked at the rest of the school and his jaw dropped when his eyes landed on one male in particular.

"Shit..." he mumbled, looking away as he took a large gulp of water. Kuroo raised a brow at his sudden language.

"What?" Kuroo questioned. Matsushita waved his hand, a gesture to explain there was nothing wrong.

"Matsushita-senpai!" A voice called.

"Tobio?" Matsushita asked, shocked to see the first year from his old school. Kageyama walked up to him, bowing slightly. "Hey, kid. Been a while, huh?" Matsushita asked, feeling a bit uncomfortable now that he was thinking about his middle school.

"Matsushita-senpai, I was wondering if you and Oikawa-" Matsushita tensed, making Kageyama falter in confusion.

"Kageyama! Get your butt over here!" The silver-haired male demanded, his arms crossed. The ginger next to him was giggling teasingly at Kageyama since he had just been chastised. Kageyama glowered at the short boy, making him shrink back a bit. Kageyama walked back to Karasuno's side of the court, leaving Matsushita in a slightly annoyed state.

"Matsushita?" Another familiar voice wondered aloud, making him close his eyes.

Please don't be mad, I can't deal with this shit-

"It's been a while," a deep voice rang out. Matsushita spun around, facing a tanned male with chocolate brown hair and a warm smile.

"Sawamura," Matsushita murmured. "Uh-Daichi," he corrected himself. Daichi smiled kindly at him.
