⤷ 31,, shinkansen

"You're kidding me."

You're standing next to the bus, with the coach and every player tired and annoyed, but no bus driver. He forgot to come here. But you have to leave for Kyoto and you can't wait for him to arrive or you'll be late. Actually, you are already late.

"We have to take the train," the coach says as he looks at the schedule that you, Rin and Kaiya made. "Otherwise we won't be on time." He thinks. "And I guess we won't be taking our equipment. It's in the bus and the bus is locked."

You groan frustrated. "How can this happen?? We made sure we got everything!"

"It's not your fault," the coach says, looking at you three girls. "Don't think that. Come on, we have to get everyone to the train station."

The coach gathers everyone together, leaving you to stand next to Rin and Kaiya. You three look at each other defeated. "This is so shit," Rin mumbles, crossing her arms. "I can't believe the bus driver didn't show up. So now we have to pay a bunch to go on a last minute shinkansen to Kyoto and probably buy new equipment?"

You shrug. "We might be able to use the Kyoto team's equipent. I think they'll have enough volleyballs."

"Probably. We might need to buy new water bottles, though," Kaiya answers as she thinks about it.

It's silent. All three of you are annoyed that things went wrong. You planned everything in advance. It should have been perfect. Instead, the bus driver didn't show up and now you have to improvise. And that at 8 AM in the morning (now leaving at least two hours later due to train times and waiting on the bus driver for a while).

"Girls, we're going!"

You all look up and see the coach, motioning for you to come. You grab your bag and swing it over your shoulders before you leave to the train station.

Once at the train station, everyone is even more tired than they already were. You all woke up early, and you didn't exactly sleep that early either. You were supposed to, but things went a little out of hand last night.

Your friends brought you dinner and you had loads of fun, but that meant going home at 11 pm and you still had to pack your bag right after. You ended up in bed at 1 am while you had to wake up at 6 in the morning, so you didn't have the longest sleep. And the players didn't either.

"Let's get these tickets," the coach says. Kaiya nods. "I'll help, coach," she says, then leaves with him to get everyone train tickets to Kyoto.

It is busy at the train station. Many announcements are being called, people are walking around with suitcases, soft music is playing... And it's pure chaos.

"I miss my headphones," Rin mumbles, holding her hands to her ears. "But I need to stay present, I'm on duty."

"You can put them on," you reply back. "I'll be fine. Kaiya is helping the coach. Just grab them and help yourself first."

She pouts and nods, then grabs her headphones from her bag and puts them on with her noisecancelling. Rin sits down on a bench and sighs happily.

The rest of the volleyball team is all clustered together, some sitting on a bench and others standing in small groups talking to each other.

"Still no word from the bus driver?" Suna asks, leaning against a vending machine with a chocolate bar in his left hand, his arms crossed over each other as he has his back towards Atsumu. "Not that it matters, we won't even be on time."

"Nope," you say, checking your email again. "I guess he's still asleep."

"I'm gonna kill him," Atsumu mutters, kicking his bag. "We were supposed to be on the road two hours ago, and now we're stuck at the train station."
