Sugawara pov

I sigh looking at the sleeping figure of my twin sister. How does she sleep so late and why am I the one that always wake her up? I question myself though I already knew the answer. My sister was terrified of alarm clocks and my parents had work early in the morning. She slept in late because she was a teenager and I was that one abnormal early riser. Well at least most of the time I was. 

"Kono. Kono wake up." I say poking my sisters arm gently. She rolled over grabbing her pillow and using it to smack me in the face. 

"I don't wanna!" she complained which made me laugh and through the pillow back at her telling her to get ready since we had to leave in ten minutes. 

When my sister came out of her room dressed and with her white hair brushed and a bit of makeup on. 

"here, let's walk and eat here's a bagel." I toss her a small paper bag as we left the house. 

...

As the two of us walked to our halfway point we made small talk about what would be happening after school. Of course, I had Friday volleyball practice but my sister had some weird and complicated schedule. 

"I've got ballet right after school then I'll head to Hina-chan's house for babysitting. I'll be home late which means that I'm trusting you in the kitchen. Please don't burn the curtains like last-" I cut my sister off as she starts laughing. 

We stop walking at our halfway point. My sister went to Aoba Johsai high and had apparently made friends with her schools boys volleyball captain, Toru Oikawa. I sorta just had to accept it. 

"Bye I'm going to wait here until Kawa-kun gets here. See you later." Kono waves to me.

I stood there waiting for Oikawa in what took about  5 minutes for him to arrive. During that time I went through the ballet positions and absentmindedly going through a bit of my routine before Oikawa's voice cut through the air making me flinch in surprise and misstep making me begin to tumble to the ground only for him to catch me bringing me upright again with a laugh. I just flick his nose making him whine in protest.

"Hey! Who's the one who just saved you from falling?" he growled playfully. I poke him in the side and shoot back,

"Yeah but you're the one who made me fall in the first place! Don't scare me like that." I say grabbing my school bag that had a ballet slipper keychain along with an extra volleyball one that my brother had for his own bag. It had come with two and I got the one he didn't use. In fact that keychain was how me and Oikawa met each other.

"Come on we should get walking or we'll be late for school." I say beginning to walk with my friend to school.

...

We seperated for classes and I met up with Oikawa's bestie, Iwaizumi or as Oikawa said it, Iwa-chan. 

"Morning." he said to me as well stepped into our classroom. I gave him a nod and sighed sitting at my seat in the front row closest to the door. I took out a few school books and brushed my white hair out of my eyes, flipping to a clean page in my notebook and waited for class to begin.

When morning classes were over I followed Iwaizumi to the gym where I met up with Oikawa and the others for their lunch volleyball practice. Oikawa insisted I watch them which resulted in me getting his in the knee three times with a stray volleyball and once in the shoulder to which I dropped my bento on the ground and yelled at the setter. 

"Sheesh I'm sorry." apologized Oikawa giving me a pat on the back as he helped me clean up the spilled bento.

Afternoon classes were as they always were, boring. The only good thing about them were what happened afterwards. School ended for the week and I jumped from my seat knocking my already bruised knees on my desk. I gathered my things and give Iwaizumi a quick goodbye before leaving the school heading to my dance lessons. 

I arrived five minutes early which gave me enough time to get into my leotard and begin to stretch a bit. Class seemed to fly and when it was over my entire seem just lay there on the ground.

"Sugawara-chan?" one of the girls asked me turning her head towards me. I make a 'hmm' noise to alert her I was listening. 

"Wanna join me and Iko-chan for some ice cream?" she asked. I sigh wishing I could hang out with the team but instead I shook my head.

"Sorry Nari, I've got babysitting to do." I say forcing my body off the ground. I walk slowly to my ballet bag putting my pointe shoes in my bag and putting my sneakers back on before waving goodbye to the rest of the remaining girls heading out. Cool air met my face as I stepped outside the dance studio the anticipation of seeing Hina-chan again filling me.

Author Note: Hi there, I'm Alil Hironaka. Just random background on the story. Kono Sugawara is based off one of my younger sisters, Suzuka who does ballet and refuses to use alarm clocks. This first part was more of a set up chapter then anything else so it may have been boring. Well hopefully you liked it.
