Hotel

I wake up the next morning and look over to the other bed. I see my brother, asleep on the floor.

Idiot.

I look at the time and see that it's 5:21 am. I decide to leave the room and get something to drink at the vending machine in the lobby. I throw on my shoes and grab a room key. As I wait for the elevator I hear yelling and running on the floor above me. The doors open, revealing two boys who look about my age. One with spiky dark brown hair and grayish-brown eyes. The other with fluffy, wavy, light brown hair and brown eyes, he was a bit taller than the other. They both looked out of breath.

They must be the ones who were running. I could have sworn I heard more people though-

My thoughts get cut off as I hear a voice, "Hey, could you get in the elevator please, we have people running after us so we need to go." The shorter one said I was about to step into the elevator till the shorter boy sighed and pulled me into the elevator.

"What the hell-" I start before I get cut off again, this time by the taller one. "Sorry about my friend here, we're just in a slight rush. Our team is kinda mad at us so we gotta go." I looked at him with pure confusion. "We're here for a volleyball competition for our school and this idiot made us late for our team bonding thing." The tall one just huffs. "You know it's true trashy-kawa."

Trashy-kawa? That has to be a nickname...right?

The tall one glares at his friend.

"It's not my fault and you know that."

"Yeah, yeah, sure."

I just stand there and look at the two.

Can this elevator move any faster? I should have just taken the stairs.

They both looked over at me, suddenly remembering I was still here.

"Ah, sorry about that, let me introduce myself, I'm Toru Oikawa." He then points to his friend.

"And this is my friend Hajime Iwaizumi."

I nod looking at the two. "So, what's your name, you do have a name, right?" The boy I now know as Iwaizumi says. Just as I was about to answer, the door opened, revealing two very angry-looking boys.

"Hey, guys..." Oikawa starts.

I get out of the elevator and walk away, leaving Oikawa and Iwaizumi there to fend for themselves.

I walk over to the vending machine and get a couple of bottles of water. I look back at the elevator and try to make some sense of what just happened.

I really, really, should have just taken the stairs.

I approached the staircase, and the sound of what could only be described as a stampede echoed from within. Nope. Ding. I stepped into the elevator instead—this time, it was empty. Until I got to my floor. The doors open and I see the two boys from earlier running again, but this time with a very familiar third boy.

Wait, is that-

"Isaac?" I yell.

The boy turns around to reveal the face of my twin brother. He smiles at me and waves me to follow him. I walk to the end of the hall where Zac was sitting.

"What's going on? I'm so confused"

"I woke up and noticed you were gone so I went to go look for you and saw those two running and I got distracted and joined them." he smiled.

I roll my eyes. "Glad to know I mean so much to you." I toss him a water bottle and make my way toward the wall.

Peering around the corner, I catch sight of the two other boys, hunched over and gasping for air. My gaze shifts to the water bottles in my hand.
