Tobio was sitting on the floor playing with his toy cars as he heard his parents talk in the living room. He went there and hid behind the wall to hear what they where talking about. „He is only 6 you can't expect that much from him!" his mother said in a stern voice. „Why not he will be a nothing just like you when he doesn't start doing anything that will help him later in his life!". Tobios eyes were wide open in shock. But his Mother wasn't nothing? To him she was everything. „He needs to be at least good at something he only sits around playing with these goddamn toy cars" his dad said in a moody tone. „And? He is 6. he is literally just a child you cant expect so much from him!" Tobio heard that she was crying. He never heard his mom cry before. Tears formed in his eyes. Did his dad really think that of him? He held his red toy car in his hand and looked at it. He went back to his room and threw the car in his box full of them. He sat down and looked at them.
„I am sorry that I am not good enough for you dad" he mumbled. He looked at the box and put it away. He looked at the volleyball his grandfather gave to him last Christmas. He always watched the volleyball games with him and they also went to some high school volleyball matches. That's what the wanted to. That's how Tobio wanted to make his parents proud. Hie picked it up and looked at it. The balls wasn't heavy but he liked the feeling of it. He went out his room and into the living room where his parents still talked. He still had his volleyball in his hands. „Mom, dad could I start volleyball when I get into middle school ?" His dad looked at him surprised. "Sure I think that would be a good chance. If you really hang into it you could be in the Japan team one day." His dad said ruffling through Tobios hair. "I will give my best dad" He said smiling.

It was Tobios first day at the kitagawa daiichi Junior High. Tobio was pretty excited because he heard the volleyball team here was pretty damn good. As he got into the gym he saw many other first years that wanted to join the volleyball team. One looked like a shallot. He was pretty tensed up he might be pretty exited. And one standing next to me had a middle part. He looked really bored. Like he didn't want to be here. I looked at the coach as began to speak. The members that already joined the team the previous years stood behind him. There were two boys that catched my eye, one had spiky hair and the other one was really well build. They both looked like I could learn a lot from them. After the coach spoke he wanted everyone that wanted to join to introduce themselves. I listened to the names and tried remembering them, The shallot head spoke up. "I am Yūtarō Kindaichi!" He was still tensed up. I looked at him and suddenly it was my turn. "I am Tobio Kageyama nice to meet you all" the boy with the middle part spoke after I did. "I am Akira Kunimi".
After practice I went home pretty excited because i was pretty good.
