Ushijima and I sat across from each other in the cafe, catching up and telling each other about everything that happened over the past few years. Tendou and Asako occasionally made a comment or two, but the thing which I noticed most was Tooru glaring at Ushijima and Iwaizumi glaring at Tooru, trying to make sure that Tooru didn't try to fight anyone. 

I grabbed onto Tooru's hand under the table, and I felt him grip it tightly. "So, Y/N, I guess you go to Seijoh, now?" Ushijima asked. 

I nodded. "Yeah, and I guess you go to Shiratorizawa. I've heard about how much of an amazing volleyball player you are. It's kinda cool to think about how much you loved volleyball as a kid and how much you still seem to like it now."

"Mhm, maybe you should have come to Shiratorizawa." Ushijima mumbled. 

"I was actually planning on going to Shiratorizawa originally. They have a better education program, but the only issues are that it's further from my house than Seijoh, and there was no way that I was about to live in a dorm. I'm very comfy in my own house." I laughed. "Seijoh is a really nice school though, and they're volleyball team is great too." 

"Ah, I suppose that they are." Ushijima said. 

I looked at the time. "Oh, I guess that we should probably get going now, right, Tooru? We have to catch that movie, remember?" I squeezed Tooru's hand, and he quickly perked up. 

"Yeah, we do, so we have to get going, like, now." Tooru quickly stood up, and I followed, along with Iwaizumi and Asako. 

"Oh, well then maybe we could meet up again another time, Y/N? I could give you my phone number." Ushijima suggested. 

"I guess that would be nice." I smiled awkwardly, before handing Ushijima my phone and letting him type in his number. 

"Well, we have to get going now, bye Ushi." I smiled, waving to him and his friends. 

When we finally got outside, Tooru let out an annoyed sigh. "Why did we have to spend soooo much time with those Shiratorizawa jerks?" 

"Sorry Tooru, I didn't mean for that to drag on for so long. I really just was planning on having a short conversation and then leaving, but I didn't wanna be rude by just leaving, either." I frowned. 

"It's not your fault, it's Ushijima's fault for being such a jerk and flirting with you even though you're obviously taken by me." Tooru clung onto my arm. 

"Eh? I didn't really think that he was flirting with me." I said, gently petting Tooru's fluffy hair.

"Well that's because you're really bad at noticing when people are flirting with you, unless they're as straightforward as Oikawa is." Asako continued, "you know, there were actually a bunch of guys and girls who flirted with you in middle school, and even in high school, but you had no idea and you thought that they were just trying to be nice." 

"What are you even talking about? No one's flirted with me before except for Tooru." I tilted my head to the side slightly.

"...aaaand there's her point. Even I've noticed people flirting with you before. Honestly, even Yahaba tried to flirt with you one time. I still remember the dejected look on his face when he thought that you hated him." Iwaizumi poked the side of my head.

Tooru chuckled. "Yeah, I certainly remember that. I was honestly shocked that Yahaba even managed to talk to you without you running away." 

"Really? I don't remember Yahaba talking to me at all." I mumbled.

"I remember that and I was just walking through the hallway to come and collect you." Asako began to recount the story...

...

Yahaba walked up to Y/N and stopped at his locker. "Um hey, Y/N, right?" 

"Yeah, what do you need?" 

"I was actually wondering if you wanted to hang out sometime after school today?" Yahaba asked a shy smile on his face. 

"Sorry, I can't. I'm busy." Y/N shook his head before refocusing on grabbing his things from his locker, opening a book, and then walking off towards the science classroom, his nose buried in whatever textbook he was reading.

...

"Geez, never knew you were THAT cold to Yahaba." Tooru shivered. 

"How was I being mean? I was just trying to get my stuff and then get to science room. It's not like I was lying or anything. I was just busy that day. He could have said something else but I guess he just stood there awkwardly or something." I put my hand on my chin, trying to remember the events for myself. 

"Sometimes you're just way too oblivious, Y/N." Asako placed her hand on my shoulder. "You're book smart, just not people smart." 

"Well I'd say that I'm people smart enough! I even came up with that lie of going to see a movie in order to try and get out of there!" I pouted.

"I guess you have a point, but that isn't really all that impressive considering most movies that run on Fridays are playing later at night." Iwaizumi mentioned. "At least one of them probably figured out that you were lying, but who knows." 

"W-well! How was I supposed to know that?!" I complained. 

"It's fairly common knowledge for people out age, I guess you just don't get out as much as the rest of us." Tooru shrugged, and I hit him on the shoulder.
