When the final bell rang, she had shot out of her desk and ran to the furthest bathroom to get changed. Daichi had informed her yesterday about the club room where the team would change clothes and set down their bags, but she politely declined, making up a flimsy excuse about preferring privacy. And that was true; she much preferred her privacy... When it came to undressing in front of a group of rowdy teenage boys of course.

However, she still had to set her bags down in the club room, so she made her way there with a power walk and not a run. She hoped desperately that none of the members were still there changing, especially that black haired douche from lunch...

Finally making it to the fields she strutted up the clubroom steps and walked down the narrow balcony, passing by the baseball club and basketball club's rooms on the way. When she reached the volleyball club's door she touched the knob and paused. Should I knock first? She thought. But what would a guy do? Would a guy even care?

But when she thought about what her brother would do in this situation she remembered how crass boys could be. She turned the knob and entered the room with a curt "Excuse me."

Only two heads turned her way. One was the blonde player she had encountered before, along with a slightly shorter player next to him with forest green hair. The latter was nearly dressed and was fixing up his jacket, whereas the former... Well, he was shirtless.

Haru's eyes unwillingly scanned the view before she darted her eyes away to an inconspicuous wall. She hadn't expected someone so lanky looking like him to be so... Toned.

The green-haired player approached her, zipping up his jersey. "Oh hey, you're the new person, right? What's your name?"

She cleared her throat, prepping her voice. "I'm Shinohara Haru, a first year. How about you guys?" This time she was able to say her alias with no trouble at all. Her practice at the mirror had paid off.

"I'm Yamaguchi Tadashi, and he's Tsukishima Kei. We're both first years too." Yamaguchi said with a proud smile.

Tsukishima grabbed a shirt out of his bag. "I can introduce myself."

Yamaguchi spared a glance back, a cheeky grin on his face. "Sorry, Tsukki."

Haru eyed the blonde at his peculiar disposition but eventually offered a smile to Yamaguchi. "Nice to meet you both." She said before setting her bag down on one of the shelves. She unzipped the bag and fished out her knee pads.

"So what class are you in Shinohara? I don't think i've seen you around before." Yamaguchi asked.

Haru's shoulders stiffened but then she took a breath. She had known the question would come up at some point and had decided before to answer it truthfully. Though If they did ever visit her in her class she'd have to duck and hide... "I'm in class 5. How about you guys?"

"We're both in class 4 together." He threw his thumb back at Tsukishima behind him who had thankfully finally slipped on a shirt. "But wait isn't class 5 one of the advanced classes? You must be pretty good at studying."

"Not really." Haru laughed slightly. "I barely made the margin." The truth was she had only aimed for the accelerate class to get her mother off her back.

"Still, thats pretty impressive! Must be nice to be sporty and smart. I bet you're popular with the girls."

Haru shrugged, a small smile tugging at her lips. She had to admit, the idea was a little funny. "Nah, not at all."

"Ehhh, surely that has to be a lie. Right Tsukki?"

"Who cares?" Tsukishima muttered, slipping his arms into his jacket.
