The Newbie ~ Tsukishima Kei

Chapter 22 ~ Against the Full Aoba Johsai

A/N The last line of the last chapter was so cheesy for me!

Signature Sentence: He didn't do so... great.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Koizumi San, look over here!" It's my fangirls! Maybe I didn't hear them in the game against Date Kogyo because I was too focused...

I hope I didn't let them down.

How does Oikawa do it?

I was about to walk over to them but Daichi grabbed my collar. "Not so fast Koizumi. We have a match to go to. You can talk to them on a free day."

"Fine, Captain."

Just as we went inside the gym I pushed my glasses to the top of my head and winked to my fan girls.

Why weren't they following me? Cause they were too busy being gloomy.

I heard them talk and squeal about it once inside the gym.

Kei slapped the back of my head. "Ita."

"Akiko, stop flirting with your fan girls when you've already got a boyfriend." He said, whispering the last part, of course.

"Aw, is little Kei jealous?" I loved teasing my boyfriend.

"Of course I'm not." He said briefly before going up to the front of the team.

Aw man. He left me behind.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Koizumi San are you going to be playing today?" A fan girl asked. Then the other girls argued with her for being the one who asked the question.

"Sorry, no." I looked down and rubbed the back of my neck.

"Aw, it's okay." Another fan girl said. They argued again. It's kinda awkward because they have to scream instead of just talk.

After our warm ups and Takeda's talk, we got in starting positions. Mine was the bench. Yeah.

But I had a reason not to be bummed out.

"Hey, Koizumi. In today's match, whenever someone gets targeted for their receives, you're switching in for one of them."

Anyway, to the match! We served, they received. Two of their players in the front line ran up. In times like these, you focus on the setter.

Unfortunately, the setter is Oikawa.

He'll probably set to Iwaizumi because, like Kageyama said earlier, they're childhood friends.

Thud

And the crowd roared. It was neither of the spikers. It was Oikawa himself who scored. If we had three highly experienced blockers, we could have had them block all of three of them.

You better wipe that smirk off your face Tooru. That other day meant shit all nothing.

They served, we received.

Tanaka and Hinata ran up, time for a freak quick. Kageyama tossed and Hinata spiked.

The ball went straight into the arms one of their players.

Dammit. Right, Hinata still closes his eyes.

After their received Oikawa ran up for a spike again. Except, it wasn't a spike. The spike form turned into a toss form and he toss sideways to Iwaizumi.

It was a kill.

They served, we received. Again.

Spikers: Hinata in the front as a decoy as well as Tanaka close behind also a decoy and finally Asahi in the back waiting for a toss.
