It's been a very common thing for me and Kou to hang out on daily basis. Whenever he is free we go out to eat something, especially Hot Soba noodles, his favourite.

Although we stay nearby we can't walk home together on an everyday basis but when he visits Nekoma and there are no assigned practice matches;
Kou, Kyoko and I walk home together. Sometimes Kuroo and Ken also accompany us.

Kuroo must like Kyoko a lot to go in a completely different direction from the train station just to be a few minutes longer with her.
Poor Kenma has to face these consequences as well.

The science project has been going on for a few weeks now. But from what Kuroo informed me, we just have to prepare a demo model with basic information about our project, if it gets approved by the supervisors then we've to continue further with our plan. The final submission is in November. So we still have a lot of time, it's just July ending now.
First Semester Exams are going to begin soon, it's not like I'm scared but I'm not prepared either.

"Ms Y/N L/N, The Principal wants you in their office. Right now.", I was interrupted in my chain of thoughts by someone I'm not quite familiar with. By the looks of it, they belonged to the student council.

After making the announcement, they left the classroom. I asked for my teacher's approval before I leave, and she agreed to it of course.

I stood outside the Cabin, and before knocking on the door I took a long deep breath and lightly hammered the door with my knuckles.

"Come in", A deep voice echoed from within the room

To my surprise, Kuroo was already present there. So why am I being called here?

"Ms L/n, I heard you are also a part of the National Science Project of Japan Team, Yes?" The principal questioned amused still signing the papers on his desk with full concentration

"Yes sir"

"Good. That's a relief", The principal smiled at me for a quick second and then shifted his attention back to the files

"She's been a great help since the day she joined. I'm truly thankful to L/n", Kuroo was the one to speak these words that came out of his mouth sweeter than honey, it was hard to digest.

"Not only Me but everyone in the group is working hard to achieve first place", I replied quickly enough after Kuroo finished his sentence.

"Remarkable students indeed", The principal smiled at both of us closing the files on his desk

"I've called you'll to hear about the progress of the project", The principal stared intently at me and then Kuroo

"We're done with the demo and it's ready for submission. We're just waiting for you to tell us about the next fraction of the project", Kuroo was the one to speak

"Mhm Good. You can submit your work in the laboratory. I'll inform the science teachers to represent your group in front of the supervisors when they visit our school", The principal nodded with very much satisfaction

"However, You two, Kuroo and L/n must be prepared for a presentation. If the supervisors are not convinced by the teachers. They might call the group members for further speculation. I want you two to represent Nekoma and Fukurodani, even in the National Science Fair.", he continued

" Wouldn't it be unfair on the Fukurodani students as both the representatives are from Nekoma?", I questioned back

"I already asked Akaashi, He thinks you're a better candidate for this job. And I totally agree with him", the principal replied taking a sip from his freshly brewed cup of tea

Why me and not Kyoko? I think she might have been a better option. Should I suggest it?

"Do you have any problem with representing our school Y/n L/n?" He questioned with his dark gaze pierced at me staring right into my soul

"N-no sir", I stuttered but calmed down myself

"Kuroo you may leave, L/n you may take a seat", he commanded and Kuroo left the room
When I couldn't hear the footsteps no more I was the one to speak first

"Gramps why are you being so scary right now", I pointed at him taking a sip from the glass of water

"Y/n-chan don't call me that in school, By the way, how is my daughter doing?", he asked with a light laugh

"Mom is doing just fine and I'm great as well", I smiled at him

Another reason for me to perform well academically. The only thing that matters to my grandfather the most is grades. As far as I've heard my mom was a brilliant student in her days and I'm here just carrying out the legacy.
My mom never forced me to study nor my grandfather did, being a nerd is a genetic defect I guess.

"I didn't make you stay to chit-chat around", my grandfather (principal) sighed in disapproval

"I see you've rejected the student council application, So I want you to join the Volleyball club as their Manager. The only option you've is Yes", he smiled at me and then shifted his gaze back to the next pile of files

"Coach Nekomata has specially requested for you, You may take one of your friends with you too as they need two managers. You can meet him today after school at the volleyball gym", he continued

"But gramps I don't-"
Before I could continue my sentence he spoke again

"You should atleast go and meet him, who knows it might benefit you in someway", he spoke but this time his eyes were on me

I simply nodded in response

"You may leave now L/n", he stated after he was done asking me a few more things about home and school

And I left the cabin not disturbing gramps any further as the old man has enough workload.

The school hours went faster than usual. I asked Tsubasa to be one of the managers if I'm not able to convince the coach about the reasons 'why I cannot join and I'm not the suitable candidate"

The students emptied the classroom, and Tsubasa and I made our way to the Volleyball gym.
