"So, have you admitted your feelings yet?"

It was a dark and cloudy morning for the students of Aoba Johsai, Oikawa and Iwaizumi deciding to walk to school together last night. "What feelings are you talking about, Iwa?" Oikawa asked, even though he knew exactly what feelings his deluded friend was talking about. "Your feelings for Yumi, obviously," Iwaizumi said, rolling his eyes. "Now why would I like your girlfriend, Iwa? I wouldn't be a good friend if I did," Oikawa said with a smirk, Iwaizumi giving him an eye roll in response. "I don't like her, Iwa. But it just really grinds my gears that she didn't perform all her manager duties just to make googly eyes at Fukurodani's captain, after specifically saying she wouldn't," Oikawa huffed angrily, hiding his face from Iwaizumi so he wouldn't see how irritated he felt even thinking about the scene from Saturday. "Give her a break, Oikawa. She still did her duties and what she was supposed to do, she made sure of that before speaking to him or anyone else from Fukurodani. You were being mean to her for no reason," Iwaizumi argued, making Oikawa suck his teeth in frustration. "But, but she was cheering for them and that dumb bimbo ace of theirs, who was so ridiculously loud and annoying, like God. I couldn't even concentrate on myself," Oikawa countered Iwaizumi, who just crossed his arms. "He's her close friend of five years who she hasn't seen and barely saw to begin with, she was excited and happy to see him, wouldn't you be as well?" At that, Oikawa stayed silent, he had no real argument for that one. He would be excited to see a good friend. Hell, he was excited whenever he saw Iwaizumi, and they saw each other practically everyday. "Well, she left you to go on a Tokyo date with him!" Oikawa made a feeble last attempt to try and validate his irritation, but Iwaizumi quickly shut it down with a shake of his head. "I told her to do it, she was going to reject his hang out if I hadn't butted in to their conversation.

"Oh Iwa, pushing your girl into the arms of another man. She'll end up leaving you for him."
WHACK.

"Iwa-chan!! You're so mean," Oikawa whined, rubbing the back of his head. "Whatever, now let's get moving before it starts pouring on us," Iwaizumi muttered, the both of them immediately quickening their pace towards the school. It was until then that they saw a car rolling up next today, both boys putting their guards up. "A baby blue Mitsubishi Outlander," Oikawa whispered to Iwaizumi, who just gave him a 'who cares' look. "Wow Toru, you know your cars so well," a voice from inside the car called out, the window rolling down to expose a smiling Yumi. "Eh?! Yumi, you have two cars?" Oikawa exclaimed, while Iwazumi raised his eyebrow at the girl. "Hop in boys, it's supposed to rain soon," she said with a grin, the back window rolling down as well to expose Matsukawa and Hanamaki. "We told you guys to meet up with us, you should've listened," Matsukawa said with the shake of his head as Hanamaki frowned. "I thought you said you forgot to tell- ouch! Matsu, so mean," Hanamaki snapped as his friend pinched his elbow. Iwaizumi immediately climbed into the passenger's seat leaving Oikawa to squish into the back. "What is this, a carpooling job?" Oikawa muttered, making Yumi's eyebrows raise. "I'm sorry, would you like to walk twenty minutes more by yourself while the rest of us get to school in seven minutes?" Yumi enquired, and before Oikawa could respond, Yumi hit the gas pedal and already began to drive.

It had begun to drizzle by the time the third years arrived at school with their cute little second year manager in tow. "I just don't understand how a second year has two cars already while her moronic twin has none," Iwaizumi said casually as Yumi gave the third year a look. "Watch it. But if you must know, I have my driver's license as well as my own money from my job. My brother, however, does not have a license nor has ever had a job, a car isn't really at the top of his priorities," Yumi explained, before waving goodbye to the third years and heading into her own class. "She's so weird," Oikawa muttered to himself, the boys walking down the hallways to reach their classroom. "She's not weird, just, resourceful," Iwaizumi countered as Oikawa's eyebrow raised questioningly at his best friend. "Oh yeah? Then explain, how much money does she have saved up that she can afford two expensive cars, one of the cars being imported from America nonetheless," Oikawa argued, Iwaizumi biting his tongue before answering him, he had promised Yumi that he wouldn't tell her secrets until she told them herself. "Maybe she's a drug dealer," Matsukawa said bluntly, causing the setter to spit out the water he was drinking, and making Iwaizumi burst into laughter. "Really Matsu? The girl is just barely five feet tall and you think she's a drug dealer?" Hanamaki asked his friend in disbelief. "I guess you're ri-"
