The Yoshikawa household had been the host of many guests over the years. Kagami could remember all the times her father would invite over some of his teammates or childhood friends, or when her mother invited over her many relatives. Kagami never thought she would have to invite someone over, she mostly kept to herself in middle school and every other previous play date was organised by her parents.
But here she was, inviting her self proclaimed rival into her home, because a certain someone didn't understand how English worked and couldn't remember their vocabulary for their test and was going to be in trouble for their exam and had an annoying shrimp as a partner that wouldn't stop begging her to increase the tutoring sessions so they could go to a summer camp in Tokyo.
As if it wasn't enough that she was spending her Tuesdays and Thursdays with him, no she had to invite him over to her house on a Friday night, because she wanted to do something nice for once.
"I don't get it. This is stupid."
"You're stupid." Kagami replied annoyed as she wrote down something in her notebook. The two teens were currently sitting next to each other in the living room in front of the coffee table, while the tv quietly played the news in the background. She had ordered Kageyama to learn the vocabulary, but every few minutes she was met with some passive aggressive comment.
Kageyama only scoffed at her reply, instead of taking notes he was scribbling random shapes in his notebook. He appreciated Kagami's help (even if he didn't admit it), but he couldn't concentrate when he was around her. It was like her presence was distracting him, which made him even more annoyed than not understanding the vocabulary.
Kagami sighed and looked up from her notes, "Why can't you memorise these words?"
"Why can't you be a good teacher?" He replied, also looking up from his notebook just in time to see Kagami glaring at him and throwing her eraser at his face.
"At least I'm trying. I don't see you trying."
"When am I ever going to need English? We live in Japan!" Kageyama threw the eraser back at her, but she caught it and placed it back into her pencil case.
"Well, if you're going to play professionally one day you're going to need to be able to speak it to communicate with other players and the press from all around the world."
