Chapter 2: Returnees

"Are you even mentally prepared?" Yukio looked at his friend beside him, the girl looked like she was about to enter an interview for a job. She shook her head rapidly, all while throwing a look of hatred towards Yukio. "Why did you say this afternoon?! I'd maybe have time to mentally prepare myself if it was next Monday!" (Y/n) whispered-yelled towards her friend, the coach was in near vicinity after all, as they were approaching the gym, which in (Y/n)'s eyes, was just hell awaiting.

"You want to be placed beside some first-years and get introduced together? They're probably gonna ask a shitton of questions and I don't wanna answer all of them! And imagine if they play the breaking ice game!" Yukio whispered-yelled back, groaning at just the possibility of all that happening. (Y/n) just looked at him with concern. "Man, I think you're just overthinking it."

"You don't know that."

"I hope they forgot about us." (Y/n) murmured and Yukio only sighed. "Well, according to the coach, they missed us." The girl still couldn't stomach that information, they were only there for a week, and no one came to "beg" for their return. (Y/n) only let out a little sigh before Coach Naoi saw them and signalled them to come over.

"The boys are already here training, I'm sure you guys aren't that worried since you've known them last year." He assured, but it wasn't enough. And then he opened the door. Without their consent.

Oh, how the duo wanted to scream that they'd only been there for a goddamn week, the club probably didn't even have the time to remember their names-

"Alright everyone, gather up! I have something to announce!" Coach Naoi exclaimed once he opened the door. The boys in the gym immediately stopped in their spots, looked over to the coach, and nodded. "Yes!"

Looking at familiar yet not-so-familiar boys slowly running towards them, the girl couldn't help but grimace. "Goddamnit, I suddenly regret this decision," Yukio said nothing and just pulled the end of her jacket. "Run and you make a bigger fool out of yourself." (Y/n) rolled her eyes at Yukio's words; it wasn't helping her or himself. Both were aware that they were equally shit at facing new people but in this case, kinda familiar faces.

The duo scanned through the members. Some of them changed from what the two remembered, their height, physique, and hair-oh wow two of them dyed their hair-

A pretty bold decision, Yukio would say. He was sure the two guys who dyed their hair blond had a good record in school or else they would definitely face the possibility of getting expelled. Meanwhile, (Y/n) thought the pudding head was kinda cool, not the mohawk one though. How did the school even allow those hairstyles?

(Y/n)'s thoughts were cut off by a big clap by Coach Naoi. "Alright, I want to introduce these two to the team, you guys might remember them from last year's manager trial." He moved over to the side, revealing the two to the team. (Y/n) tried her best not to grimace out of reflex and put up a little smile on her face. "First impressions are always important..." She thought.

"Oh, I remember you two! Vaguely." The short guy with sandy blond hair exclaimed as he pointed at the two. "Huh?" The pudding head frowned in question before a guy with a buzzcut spoke up. "They were our managers for a short time last year."

"HOW." The girl blurted out in genuine confusion.

All the boys were taken aback by the sudden outburst.

...Well, there goes first impressions.

Yukio facepalmed before pulling (Y/n), who still has her mouth agape, to the side. "S-sorry. My name is Narukami Yukio, and this is (L/n) (Y/n), nice to meet you all!" The male bowed, his head low so that the clubmates wouldn't see his embarrassed, red face. His hand also pushed (Y/n)'s head down after realizing she wasn't doing shit.
