05- Decisions need to be made

*Y/N's point of view*

Weekend has been over way to soon. I skipped morning practise to sleep longer.

School was boring today. For the most part I looked out the window and didn't pay attention to the teacher.

After school I went to the girls practice to talk with my coach. Luckily we two were still alone.

„Hey coach, I had a question. Would it be okay if I spend our practise time with the boys? I think I could learn a bit from them and maybe we could use it to get better", I said as I crotched my way over to her.

„Yeah of course you can do that, as long as you're with us at practice matches I won't stop you. The tournaments were hell without you by their side. But tell me Y/N... do you feel uncomfortable in the team?", she looked at me with her always so gentle expression.

I replied slowly: „I'll be there for practice matches. And well they're kinda ignoring me for the most part... and I think that they don't want me around anymore. Actually, I'm thinking about leaving, I can still maybe go professional without playing this season, and besides it might be better for the second years to get used to being captain and vice captain..."

She nodded understandingly: „Okay, you know I can talk with them for you if you would like to. I mean you guys always got along so I don't understand their behaviour."

„it's alright, I'll leave now. See you around", I said before walking out of the gym hall.

I went over to the boys gym hall and sat down somewhere and watched them warm up.

Iwaizumi was walking up to me and started to talk to me: „Hey, we have a practice match today with Karasuno. I know it might be a lot to ask for but would you maybe help managing some things?"

„Oh, sure things! I'm glad if I can help!", I smiled at him.

The first years got the water bottled ready and the team was discussing on what to try out today.

It was very different from what we do...

Karasuno arrived and we greeted eachother. Two boys were staring at me, but I can't tell if it was a good or bad thing.

Iwaizumi stood behind me and said something: „There names are Nishinoya and Tanaka. From what I know they really like women and get obsessed over pretty girls. See it as a compliment that they stare at you"

I laughed and nodded. A boy with short brown hair was dragging them to their team. He had the energy of a captain...

Meanwhile they played I got more amused by the way they play. I knew boys play rather aggressive while girls play slow with strategy, at least everyone says that. But this was really something.

Karasunos's player really were interesting. After time I knew who Hinata, Kageyama, Sugawara, Nishinoya, Tanaka and Asaahi were.

After the first game Oikawa came up to me: „What are you thinking about Y/N? You seem to be lost in thoughts."

I looked up at him: „Well, how about you play soft for a time to irritate them. Maybe stop blocking and concentrate on receiving... Have you and Iwa ever tried to play in the minus tempo?"

„Oh wow, we did try but it didn't work out all the time. But maybe we should slow down a bit to irritate them.", he smiled at me. Why is his smile so cute?

I looked at Iwaizumi and spoke: „Try it! This is for practice and trying new strategies after all"

„Very well", he started to walk towards Iwa.

The minus tempo did work and Oikawa set the ball for other players if they were of time. I was proud of them and somehow myself. They really were doing something I suggested!

Time passed by way to much and everyone was cleaning already...

As always I was with Oikawa and Iwaizumi. We chatted for a bit and joked around.

„You know, maybe you should have become a manager or something. You wouldn't get hurt anymore", Iwa had said.

I just shrugged. Why did that one sentence make me overthink? Was I, the one who dies to become profi, thinking about doing something else. Now that I think about it, in the past week I had gotten new interests, like medicine or injuries.

Damn, forget that very fast Y/N!, I thought  as we walked out of the gym hall.

I decided to walk home alone today, I really needed to think...

I hate the way I think so much, I really do. But I just can't stop it... Maybe I really wanna do something else than become a professional player myself. I can't even get along with high school students, I propably won't ever get along with a professional team.
