"So, you didn't heed the warning, huh Yumi-kun."

"Oh, it's you girls again. The fan club," Yumi said, looking at the girl who once again crowded her, this time in the locker room. "Yeah, whatever, listen up you brat," the third year snarled at Yumi, hovering over her and backing her into a wall. "I told you to stay away from Oikawa-senpai, and so far you've done a really awful job of staying away from him," she hissed, her friends smirking at the scene unfolding in front of them. "I heard she gives him rides home, the both of them alone, Nagisa-senpai," one of the second years told the upperclassmen, who immediately became aggravated. "Is that so?" Nagisa sneered, shoving Yumi against the wall, who remained calm throughout this ordeal. "I'll tell you what, Yumi-kun. I'll give you another chance, kay? But this time, if you don't listen to what I tell you, your nasty little secret is coming out," she hissed, making Yumi smirk. "My nasty little secret, huh? Now tell me, what is my nasty little secret?" Yumi asked, getting in the third year's face. "We know, Yumi. That you used to be obsessed with Oikawa Toru yourself," Nagisa said with a smirk, making Yumi laugh. "Really? That's my nasty little secret? Get real girls, I don't care about that," Yumi told them, looking at the girls in disbelief. "Maybe you don't, but Oikawa will," the other second year spoke up, making Yumi turn to face her, a nasty smirk spreading on her face. "Imagine how betrayed Oikawa will feel when he finds out, the girl who claims to have never liked Oikawa, suddenly had a secret crush on him? He'll feel weird, uncomfortable even, around you. He'll feel like you just lied about everything to get close to him, like a weirdo," Nagisa said, a sickly sweet giggle escaping her mouth. "He doesn't care about something as dumb as an old crush, Nagisa-san," Yumi sighed, growing tired of arguing with the girl. "Hmmm, if you say so, Yumi-kun. But can't you think of anyone else who would care?" Nagisa asked her, a smirk appearing on her lips, before turning from her and heading out of the locker room.

"Damn," Yumi whispered to herself, before fixing her shirt and heading out to her class. Now, maybe Oikawa wouldn't really care, after all it's just a crush. But, then there was the issue that was Iwaizumi. He helped her get on the team because she wasn't up Oikawa's ass like every other girl was when they applied for the manager position. What if he finds out and thinks that she lied this whole time, what if he thought she was only lying to get closer to Oikawa and then show her true colors? Wait, this was Iwaizumi she was talking about. He's levelheaded, understanding, patient. "Oh who am I kidding," Yumi groaned to herself quietly. Iwaizumi would probably try to hit the back of her head if he found out. 'I guess I'll just stay away from Toru, until I find a way out of this,' Yumi thought to herself, before making eye contact with Nagisa, who merely smiled at her. Yumi didn't like that smile, however. That's the smile of someone who's plotting up a scheme.

"Good afternoon team! Now, does everyone have their permission slips?" Coach Irihata called out as the Aoba Johsai team began to collect the permission slips from each other, giving them to their coaches. "Okay perfect. Now, aside from Yumi, Iwaizumi, Hanamaki, Matsukawa and Oikawa, is anyone else taking their own transportation?" The coach called out to the team, who all shook their heads. Mad Dog gave Yumi a questioning look, who just grinned at him. "I thought you only had the two seater," he asked her quietly, making her grin. "I upgraded to a slightly bigger car, much more spacious," Yumi chirped, making him roll his eyes. "Then why didn't you invite me?" He whined quietly, making Yumi immediately pull on his ear. "That's because you decided you were too good to tell me that you disappeared from the volleyball team for months," she whispered in his ear before letting go and walking to her third year friends. "Okay boys, I guess we can go to-"

"Oikawa-kun! Yoohoo!"

It was almost comical how almost everyone broke their next to look at the voice that called out for the captain of the team. She was pretty, to say the least. Pretty long brown ringlets of hair flowing down to her mid waist, bright emerald green eyes sparkling in the sun, and a smile that was so captivating it lured you in. "Uh, hi. Nagisa-kun, right?" Oikawa said in confusion, as Yumi watched the two interact from behind her friends. Oh God, could things get any worse? Like, seriously? Why is she out of school when there's still three periods left? "Yeah, that's me! I was wondering if you wanted to ride with me to Fukurodani today? I'm taking pictures of the volleyball team today for the yearbook," she said with a sweet smile. "Oh, uh, wow, thank you so much for the offer, but I actually already have a ride with our manager, thank you for the offer," he said with a close-eyed grin. It was almost instant how Nagisa's eyes spotted Yumi even as she tried to camouflage against the tall boys. "Oh, you do? What a shame, I thought I could interview you for the yearbook, you know, the basic questions. When did you start playing? How do you feel about having these girls always falling for you? Do people lie about who they are to get close to you?" Nagisa questioned, while maintaining direct eye contact with Yumi, who rolled her eyes at the self absorbed girl. "Toru, it's fine, just ride with her, Maki-senpai and Matsu-senpai can now sit comfortably," she said quickly, before turning on her heel immediately and headed to her car. "Oh, well, I guess if you don't mind Nagisa," Oikawa said with a grin as Nagisa swooned at the sight. "I'll go get my car," she giggled before running off. "Anyone else found that interaction weird?" Iwaizumi asked the boys, who just shrugged. "Weird as in?" Oikawa asked, while Iwaizumi frowned. "Well, Yumi would never say 'now they can sit comfortably.' She prides herself in how spacious and comfortable her car is," Iwaizumi said, which immediately got waved off by Oikawa. "Nonsense, she was probably just trying to say I'm fat, because she's mean," Oikawa huffed. "Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to go ride with this freaky girl because Yumi didn't help me out," he ended, before spinning on his heel and walking away. Iwaizumi scoffed, maybe Oikawa was right? Well, whatever, he could just ask Yumi later.
