Ok was not expecting it to be this big.

A giant building stretching for miles stood in front of you, the school you went to back in Canada was decently -sized. Most of the budget went toward renovating the track, the sports field, the gyms etc. The sports program was huge due to the athlete's fundraising and lots of donations from the parents.

As you stared in shock Tooru came up behind you and whispered in your ear, "Close your mouth. Gawking isn't gonna make it any smaller." You shove him away from you and he rolls his eyes, "You don't know me starting now. Bye, stranger." He speeds his walk up to catch up with the crowd of students coming in, leaving you speechless.

What a dick, holy shit.

Shaking off the bad vibes from that asshole you make your way into the school, you feel overwhelmed since everyone already knew where they were going... but you are also too awkward to ask for help from anyone.

And so, you wandered.

Not your brightest idea you'll admit, the bell already rang and you still couldn't find your class. You fell into the nearest locker and banged your head in defeat.

"You okay?" You lift your head off the locker and stare at the individual in front of you, black spiky hair, a muscular build, and a sweet smile. You stare at him for a moment, not responding to his question as you push off the wall awkwardly.

"Oh, do you not speak Japanese? Do you need assistance?" He switches his language for you and you snap out of it, "I speak Japanese and English don't worry. And yes I do need help. Can you tell that I'm new?"

"No, no, not at all." He grins at you, "I'm Iwaizumi Hajime. Where are you headed?"

"L/n y/n and I'm headed to class 2-A." He outstretches his hand and you give him your schedule, he whistles after reading it, "Wow you're smart-smart. Taking third year and uni classes already? Crazy."

You smile at his compliments, "Well I guess. Back in Canada, we do things differently, so a lot of the stuff I'm going to be learning here I've learned in past years." He hands you back the piece of paper, "Don't downplay your smarts. And I can take you there, my teacher won't mind if I'm out a long time."

"You're an angel... Iwaizumi was it?" He nods with a smile, "Don't mention it." He states and then starts in a direction, you jog to the boy and fall into step beside him.

"Wow, standing next to you you're pretty tall. Do you play any sports?" He asks after a little while, you smile, thinking about the sport you love.

"I play be-well I used to play beach volleyball. Now just normal indoor."

"Wait that's crazy, I play volleyball too. I've never tried beach volleyball, it seems fun though." He smiles at you and you grin back.

Tooru should take notes from this angel of a man

"Oh, I see it!" You exclaim while pointing at the sign, "Thank you so much Iwaizumi-san." You hesitate for a second, before bowing to him.

He rolls his eyes, "No need to bow, and just call me Iwaizumi. Drop the san. I'll see you around l/n." You stand up and nod, "Just call me y/n!" You call after him, he holds up a thumbs-up without looking back.

I hope I see him again, he's such a nice guy.

You take a second to breathe and make yourself presentable before you finally enter your classroom.

The class stops to stare at you as you walk in but the teacher continues speaking, "Um sensei..." A student starts, the teacher quickly looks at where the student is pointing and you smile awkwardly.

"Oh wonderful, l/n is here. Why don't you write your name on the board and introduce yourself." You nod and make your way over to the board, as you write out the kanji you sigh.

This is gonna be a longgg day.

It was one hell of a first few classes, you had to constantly introduce yourself but at least you were being guided to where you needed to go now. This would be the class before lunch, and you were starved.

You walk into the classroom with your tour guide and thank them as they leave.

Shit, I don't remember his name, oh well 🤸‍♀️

The teacher sees you immediately and motions for you to stop at the front of the classroom, you nod respectfully but there is screaming and cursing going on inside of you.

As the students begin to arrive, your new friend strolls in with his hands in his pockets, he glances over at you just like the others did but he waves instead, this small gesture gives you a surge of happiness and confidence. You smile really big back, happy to finally know someone despite you guys meeting just this morning.

The bell rings and the teacher gives you a rundown of what she wants you to say about yourself and blah blah, you take the chalk from her outstretched hand and begin writing the kanji of your name.

Once you're finished, she motions for you to introduce yourself.

"Hello everyone, my name is—" But you were interrupted by someone opening up the door. The teacher peeks around you, looking dissatisfied that somebody disrupted the class because they were late. But her face immediately relaxed when she saw who it was.

Oikawa mf Tooru.

He swaggers in with his hands stuffed into his pockets, his head up high.

"Hello, Ms. Kimura. Sorry I'm late, got a little caught up." He smiles with his eyes closed at her and she blushes, she excuses him and tells him to head to his seat.

Ffs

You try to hide your scowl as the girls gape at him as he walks by, you make eye contact with Iwaizumi who mouths to you, 'You know him?' You shake your head no, 'he just seems annoying.' You mouth back, he starts laughing to the point where he needs to cover it with a cough. You hold back a grin.

You don't notice, but Tooru in the opposite corner of the room raises his eyebrow at your interaction, confused on when you two had met.

"Anyway, L/n-san please continue."

You finish your introduction shortly after, and she tells you to find an open seat somewhere in the class. Spotting one by Iwaizumi you start to make your way over, but Toorus's hand shoots in the air.

"Ms. Kimura! There's an empty seat by me!" The woman reddens and nods, "Okay L/n, you can sit over there then." You try not to groan in distain as you make your way to the last row.

"I thought we were pretending to not know each other Oikawa-kun." You hiss under your breath as you sit down, he smirks at you, "Oh I just missed you so, so, much dearest L/n-chan."

You deadpan, "Die."

He laughs, "That's not very nice." You roll your eyes and face forward again, ignoring him staring at you from your peripheral vision.

Is this what hate feels like?

If it is then I hate it.
