By body jerked at each bump on the road as I drove the long way out to the street. I've been living here in Kishiwada, Osaka for the past year now. I wanted to get a place out in the city but couldn't afford to so early on, so instead I picked a different place with a view. I lived in a little 'bungalow' far out on some dirt road. It's a pretty shit drive but I love living there. I have a view right on the water and can see the lights of the far city when it gets dark. It's perfect for me. I do get paranoid all alone out here, however.
Eventually, the scraping against the tires subsided and I was driving on smooth road. It was about a 45 minute drive to get to the campus in Higashiosaka, which was a bit of a hassle. I couldn't find any place closer that didn't look miserable, though.
I've played for MSBY Black Jackals for a total of five days, and am on my way to my sixth. Apparently today is particularly important, my guess is we're playing against another team. Two of my teammates I've actually met before. First there was Bokuto Koutarou, he used to play for Fukorodani. We faced off in nationals together. Then there was Hinata Shoyou, he played for Karasuno, the team who gave me the worst and best day of my life. I told him I'd set for him one day, and here we are. The others, I didn't know from personal experience.
I went to pull into my designated parking spot, okay it wasn't designated but it might as well be. Everyone knows the shittiest looking car always parks there. That would be me. However, somebody else, for the first time in six whole days, took my spot. It was a pretty and shiny car.
I parked beside it grumpily, glaring at my bashed in headlights on the way into the gymnasium. I flung my keys around my finger in a constant motion. I startled when Meian, our captain, walked up behind me. My key chain, keys, and all the other unnecessary decorations flew across the court, sliding pretty far before finally stopping. I scratched the back of my neck sheepishly as he walked past, rolling his eyes. When he did walk away, I rushed over to get my keys.
"'Tsum 'Tsum's pretty clumsy today, hmm~?" Bokuto teased, meeting my eyes as I stood.
"I always am." I covered my face with my hand before letting it drop in a groan. "So what's so important about today anyway?"
"You don't know Miya-san?" Hinata trotted over, volleyball in one hand, "We're getting a new player today."
And still, after 5 years without contact, his face popped back up into my mind.
"Ouuhh~" I purred, "Do ya know who?"
"Mm, nope!"
"Wait wait wait, is it the asshole that took my parking spot?"
