Squeak! Bam!

The sound of shoes squeaking against the gym floor and the volleyballs being hit, rang into everyone's ears.

As you witnessed the practice match, time seemed to slow. The ball was in mid-air, tossed easily, then disappeared as it was spiked. Like many others, you stared in awe.

Then out of the corner of your eyes, you watch him walk onto the court. A jersey with contrasting colors to the rest of the team. He had a small build but across his broad back was a "4" stained there. Compared to the other players, his height seemed very small, even more so as he stood next to them.

He energetically cheered before the whistle blew. The tweet cued the start of the game as the volley continued until the opposing team was readying to spike. As if by reflex, he threw his whole body and received the oppressing ball—silently.

Many seemed to ooh and ahh at the opponent's spike, but you were amazed by the tiny guardian. The warrior who wouldn't let the ball fall on their side. His receive was then carried out into an attack securing Karasuno's victory.

You had only seen this game in play by chance as you were walking around aimlessly, and you were glad you did. Seeing the Libero in play was something that would not escape your mind for a long time. Your breath was taken away as you watched him in action—his smallest movement making you jolt in excitement.

"...ame)! (First name)!"

You were snapped back to reality, from recalling the volleyball game, by an angry voice calling your name. You timidly look up be greeted by a pissed-off Aki-senpai.

"Senpai..." You muttered, half-nervous and half-annoyed.

"How. Long. Did. You. Plan. To. Ignore. Me?" she pressed in a low, threatening voice.

You couldn't manage to reply back. You squirmed your toes and fiddled your fingers restlessly, feeling a blazing gaze burning towards you.

Then the teacher called, "Hey Aki-san! You feeling better?"

Aki-senpai's voice immediately changed into an extremely different, high-pitched voice.

"Yes! My fever finally went down so I'm up and ready for anything! Sorry about being absent on the performance day."

She gave a cringey wink, sticking her tongue out as she scratched head.

"It's all good!" the teacher boomed, "(Last name) did quite a good job as (Role name)!" Other members of the drama club didn't hesitate to second the comment.

"She was great!"

"She was able to make me cry!"

"She should become an actress!"

"She's a natural!"

"She might as well have played the role to begin with!"

You couldn't help but blush from the comments the members said. The aura in the club was cheery from discussing about the performance, until you noticed the disturbingly dark presence behind you.

"I heard!" Senpai grabbed both of your hands and 'enthusiastically' said, "She was able to move the whole audience! Now if you guys don't mind, I'll be borrowing her for a second!"

With the dark aura only you could feel, she dragged you outside of the school to where no one was present. She took a few glances around before revealing her true face again.

She said, "A mere first-year dares to get cocky? You may have gotten the chance, but keep in mind it's never coming again."

The third-year forcefully pushed your shoulder with her fingers, making you step backwards with each word. "You're. Nothing. But. A. Lucky. Brat!"

"But... I—"

"Shut up! I don't need to hear excuses! And while I'm still in this school, you're not getting a role on stage!" She smirked

Tears welled in you eyes as you helplessly stared holes into the ground. The thought of not being able to stand on stage frustrated you. Then from a distance, you heard a voice coming closer.

"Hey Ryuu! Guess what? I got rejected by Kiyoko-san four times today!" A voice chirped.

"Tch!" Aki-senpai clicked her tongue. "We'll continue this next time."

She sneaked away and you fell to you knees as you legs gave away.

"Hey Ryuu! Guess what? I got rejected by Kiyoko-san four times today!" Nishinoya boasted proudly.

"Pfft! That's it? I was rejected 6 times today!" Tanaka puffed his chest out with pride.

Nishinoya comically fell to the ground on his fours and a gloomy atmosphere rained over him. "I lost..."

Looking up, he turned his head to see a (Hair color)-haired girl collapsed on her knees. Few locks of her (Hair length) hair framed her face as she was visibly depressed.

The Libero scrambled to his legs and quickly approached her after seeing her current state. "Hey! Hey! Are you okay?" he desperately shouted, gently shaking her shoulder.

She slowly lifted her tear-stained face as the wind brushed the hair out of her face. Within a few seconds her beautiful (Eye color) orbs were revealed.

So beautiful...

Nishinoya couldn't help but hold his breath, staring into her eyes.

You slowly looked up at the worried voice to meet eyes with an unknown boy.

Wait.

You did know him.

Yes, without a doubt it was him.

When you have seen them before, his eyes were blazing with excitement to win. This time—however—his brown eyes were full of worry and kindness.

His eyes were obviously only brown—nothing special. But you swore they were glowing. Glowing gold.

"How... How beautiful...." You reached out and touched his cheeks in a dazed trance.
