"Koisumi Akiko?"

I peaked around the corner as I heard my name. "Yeah." I saw three girls gossiping.

"Why would you question his sexuality? He's obviously straight!"

"Well, yesterday, I saw him lean in to whisper something into some boy's ear and he had a grip on the boys chin. The boy's face was pink! He was blushing."

"B-But he winked at me yesterday! He must be straight."

I decided to step in so they wouldn't be confused anymore. Even if they wouldn't be attracted to me anymore I told them, "Hey girls." I winked. "To clear things out, I'm not gay. I'm not straight. Pick the middle."

I walked towards the girl near the entrance. 

I guess I kind of lied about telling them the truth. Kind of. Meh. 

The girl who I spoke to on Monday looked at me with a smile and blush. "Hey dear. Here's my form."

Someone tapped my shoulder and I looked behind me to see the boy that was telling me about the basketball club on Monday.

"Oh, Hey there--" I was cut of by the boy kissing my cheek. I was flustered, obviously. Looking down at him, he covered his face with his hand. "Gomen, you were just so cute." Smirking, I lifted his chin up and leaned to his height. "We could try something more intimate."

He blushed a deep red. I kissed his cheek before walking away, leaving him behind.

"Why?"

Peaking inside the room, I saw two first years. One of them was the one who I bumped into on Monday. The other, was the King of the Court, you already know who he is reader chan!

I came across a few videos of his games while looking at volleyball matches on tuesday and wednesday.

"Ohayo!" I greeted. They didn't seem to pay attention so I sat on a bench nearby and looked at them.

"I remember this guy very well." The king thought out loud.

So this ginger "Hinata" played against him last year. I guess they have some rivalry.

Hmm...

To think of it, he's the guy who didn't have enough players for a full team of 12. This guy the king beat first. The one who could jump!

"What? you want to fight?" Hinata asked in a fighting stance, visibly shaking. "You're lousy!"

I flinched at the king's sudden shout.

"D-Don't make fun of me." Hinata stuttered. I laughed a little bit but was still ignored by the two.

"Sure, we got slaughtered by you guys." Not to mention your height, Hinata. "Next time I won't lose!" The king gave him a harsh glare but said nothing. "That's what I pledged to myself, so what are you doing here?" Hinata said, pointing his finger at him. "How can I defeat you if we're on the same team? Shouldn't you be at some strong school with strong players?"

The king let out a weird sound and looked away. "The strongest school in the prefecture..." Hinata gulped at his threatening voice. "rejected me."

I couldn't help but let out a loud laugh. At this, they looked at me. "Who are you?" The king asked.
