" He then smiled, asking 'How about you sit with me and Kunimi?' "

She looked at him shocked, "Are you sure? There won't be the volleyball team there right?" She wanted to avoid Oikawa currently. He looked at her, is she scared of them? "I'm sure, and no they won't be there. They're not something to be afraid of," he tried to comfort her. She wasn't afraid of them, she knew that, but she decided to play along with the idea.

"Thank you, I'll gladly sit with you," smiling, she walks with Kindaichi to the cafeteria.

When they arrive at the table, Kunimi stares at Y/n. I guess he's not fond of me? She thinks while staring back at him. "Hi, it's me again. I hope you don't mind if I sit with you guys," Y/n speaks shyly. He only nods, going back to his food.

The two boys continued to talk as if Y/n weren't there. She sat quietly, feeling out of place when sitting with them. The soccer coach then enters the cafeteria, this is my chance. She tells the boys she'll be back and leaves to speak with the coach.

"Hey Y/n, are you doing tryouts today?" The coach asks, still remembering the enthusiastic girl.

"You remember me?"

"Of course I do, how could I forget how excited you were to join soccer?" She laughed.

Y/n then becomes embarrassed. "I was actually here to talk to you about that. Tryouts are today you said?" The coach nodded, smiling as the 2nd year lit up to the news. "I'll be there! I promise!" They waved goodbye to each other and she heads back to the table she was originally at.

The boys had stopped talking, waiting for Y/n to situate herself in her seat. "Y/n, do you think you could come to the volley ball tryouts? It'd be nice to have someone rooting for us." Kindaichi says happily, Kunimi only looked to the side. She began to feel guilt, since she had just agreed to do tryouts for soccer. She scratched the back of her neck, saying "I'm sorry, but I have tryouts myself. If I finish early then I promise to come to yours." They both are let down, but still have hope for her to arrive at the gym. They nodded, then continuing to eat and talk the rest of the lunch.

The lunch bell had rung, signaling that it was time for their next class. The group say goodbye, wishing each other luck for each other's sport tryouts. Kindaichi and Kunimi head to their class while Y/n heads to hers.

School was finally done, and soccer was next. Y/n changed out of her uniform and into her gym clothes. As she was changing, she began to feel nervous, happy, and guilty all at once. Then, all of a sudden she remembers Jordan. She rushes out of the girl's locker room and ran to the coach on the soccer field.

"Y/n! You're here, just like I expected." The coach smiled. Y/n panted, trying to catch her breath in order to speak. "Coach.. I need.. to go... real quick!" She said with pauses in between each word. "I have to talk to my club president. I'll be back in 15 minutes." This time she spoke a full sentence. She knew she was able to make it in time, since she was able to run quick enough. The coach began to worry, but allowed her to go. "Alright, I'll give you 20 minutes to be back. If you're not here by the time I call your name then you can't try out."

I can do this, Y/n thought to herself. She nods, running towards her club room. The school was big, but she could reach it on time.

5 minutes

"Jordan!" Y/n yells, out of breath from running to the top floor. "Soccer tryouts. I'm trying," she spoke in short phrases. Jordan immediately knew what was up, and they smiled. "Go ahead, you got this," they said, cheering her on. Y/n, holding to the door frame, looks up to smile at them. After a few minutes she checks her phone, I have 10 minutes left.

She runs down the flight of stairs, but this time slower.

7 minutes

She reaches the field, seeing the girls line up in front of the coach. She walks to the line, attempting to conserve her energy for the upcoming event. Coach Aiko, the soccer coach, turns her head to find Y/n slowly coming to the group. She smiles

"Alright ladies, I want a line here and here. Dribble across the field and shoot!" Coach orders. Easy enough.

Once the first day of tryouts was finished, it was time to be pulled aside to know who had made the team. Coach Aiko calls a series of names, Y/n waited to hear her name be called. It wasn't. Coach pulls the group of girls aside, giving them the news.

The others, who had stayed where they were, began to look at each other with worried faces. Y/n held her ground, waiting until she knew if she was pulled out or not. Once the girls were done talking, they walk away with sad faces. Did I make it to the second day? Y/n began to think to herself.

Coach walks back to the group of girls who were waiting. "The next day of tryouts is Friday, be ready," the coach talks with a serious face. Today was Wednesday, she had time to prep herself. The girls leave, cheering in relief. "Don't shout for joy too early," the coach then laughs at the joyful girls.

Y/n stays in her gym clothes, not wanting to get her uniform sweaty, and checks the time. It was 5pm, maybe volleyball tryouts are still on. She thinks to herself, wanting to see the boys play.

She leaves to the gym, and once she arrives, she hears the sound of shoes hitting the floor. She peeks into the room, seeing boys run around the gym. Are they seriously just starting? Y/n laughed to herself. She heads inside to watch from the sidelines.

"Excuse me ma'am, is there a reason you're here?" A man, possibly around his 40's, approached her. She only stares, nervous that she wasn't meant to be there. He began to chuckle, "What am I thinking, of course you're here for Oikawa." He smiles, waiting for her to sigh with love. I used to be like that, she thought. She looked at him with disappointment, not wanting anyone to think that. "Sorry, no I'm not-" she was cut off.

"Y/n~chan!" A familiar voice from a setter yells from across the gym. Great.. "Are you here for me?" He looked at her with stars in his eyes. She looked away, not wanting to converse with him. I need to keep my promise.

The boys had stopped running. "Hey Kunimi, it's Y/n! She must be done," Kindaichi pointed to her. "Already?" Kunimi said, waving in her direction. Y/n finds them and begins to wave back, so he doesn't hate me.

Oikawa looked over to the direction she waved, Kindaichi and Kunimi? He then looks back to where she was, but she was already leaving to talk to the two. He frowned.

"Y/n, you made it!" Kindaichi celebrates. Kunimi only stares, as usual. "Yeah, my tryouts ended." They both look at her, waiting for the results. She only stared at them with confusion. All of a sudden, she feels a hand on her shoulder. "Hey Y/n, what are you doing here," it was Hanamaki. He then looks at the two first years. "Go to the coach, he's giving out drills to perform," he orders. They both run to the coach.

Y/n looks up to Hanamaki to answer his question, "I'm here to support those two." He smiles, but then realizes her in her sweaty gym clothes. "Was your last class PE or something?" She then began to blush in embarrassment, maybe I should have changed. "No I just came out of tryouts," she laughs off the awkwardness. The two continued to talk while Oikawa only looked from the side.
