Since the Inter-High tournament is coming, Me, Yuka, Saki and Mina were doing our best to recruit new members.
"Do you guys want to join the girls volleyball club? If you do, please do come to the gym after school!" Yuka shouted.
Saki gave Yuka a thumbs up.
We even stick some poster on the notice board, big enough for someone to see it.
TIMESKIP TO AFTER SCHOOL
We waited patiently at the gym for the new member. As time passed by, no one seems to come.
Kagura stretched her body and she said: "I miss Mimori-senpai~"
"Mimori?" I asked tilting my head a little bit.
"Oh! She's our other pinch server, trust me she's our best pinch server but something happened so she stopped went to school for a while." Yuka explained with her arms crossing.
While chatting, the door suddenly creaked opened by a girl with a soft look on her face entered the gym.
"MIMORI~~" Kagura shouted running towards her jumping at her giving her a hug. Mimori smiled at her and damn she has the most sweetest smile I've ever saw.
"By the way Saki, there's a group of girls standing outside, are they the new member of the club?" Mimori asked.
Saki quickly got out inviting them to come inside. A group of five girls went inside the gym. All of them are tall as hell maybe 170+ cm?
All the five of them introduce themselves.
(A/N: I'm not going to put their full name cuz I'm lazy as hell)
"Mayu, I'm on my second year"
"Nagisa, first year!"
"Kanata, first year too"
"Su-suzuko from t-the first year"
"Sonata and a first year! Nice to meet you!"
All of us, the original member of the volleyball club bowed to them before introducing ourselves.
Saki asked them if they had played volleyball before as the rest of us started to practice.
I was practicing my services. I asked Yuka to teach me and she's so kind to help me out.
After a couple of minutes, Saki stopped our training and wanted to try out the new member's skills. Before starting the match, we went out jogging around the neighborhood.
After jogging, we did our usual practice. But before that, Saki asked them: "Have you guys played volleyball before?"
"I'm on the basketball club before I joined here, I got kicked out since I always skipped practice.....But I'll attend to every practice this time!" Kanata said as if nothing is wrong.
Saki looked worried after hearing her statement and also the other member of the club.
"Uh...My sister taught me how to play in the past but don't worry I still remember what she taught me." Suzuko said fixing her eyeglasses.
Saki smiled nervously since she still is not sure with her statement. Beside that, she's from the top class, she may be a genius.
"Giant baby! That's what they call me!" Nagisa shouted proudly.
Sweat runs down Saki's face as she started: "That's not what I asked."
"Oh? Sorry! Nope I haven't played volleyball before but it's worth the try isn't it?" Nagisa said smiling widely and stand proudly.
Saki just gave out a nervous smile as she asked Mayu the same question.
Mayu jumped a bit since Saki just asked her so suddenly.
"M-mayu haven't played before b-but Nagisa f-forced me to join this club to-together w-with her." Mayu said stuttering, basically every word that she said.
Saki tried to calm her down by patting her back but that just makes her feel more tense so Saki stopped. She seemed to be the nervous type.
Lastly, Saki asked Sonata. Sonata looked at her and look the other way giving her a 'hmph'.
"Are you going to answer my questio-" Saki's word was cut by her saying: "Of course I have played it before, that's why I joined....baka." Whispering the last word.
Saki seemed to heard it but ignored it as she smiled at her saying: "Yeah right, sorry for asking some stuid question."
"Okay! We'll start practicing our receives first!" Saki said clapping her hands to get our attention.
Practice starts as usual and some of them did very great in their receives, spiking and defense.
We took a rest for awhile, as the door was creaked opened making a loud noise. Everyone's attention was now on the door.
It was Bokuto behind the door as he revealed himself smiling widely at us.
"How's the new members?" He asked.
Saki smiled and said: "They're good."
Bokuto gave her a thumbs up sign as he suddenly looked towards me and we made eye contact. He called me to go to his place so I went anyways.
"What do you want?" I asked crossing my arms as soon as I got there.
He just gave me a smile as he started: "Nothing."
I look at him with a are-you-serious face and was about to leave but he stopped me grabbing me by my wrist.
I look at him, his face suddenly looked sad and serious at the same time.
"What's wrong?" I asked him getting worried.
"Can you just accompany me? I feel very lonely." He asked with a very sad face as he looked down at the floor.
It was the very first time I've ever saw him with a sad face, he always have that wide smile plastered on his face everyday, feel like he's smiling 24/7.
"What about practice?" I asked. He looked at me with his sparkling eyes begging me to accompany him.
I sighed as I rolled my eyes saying: "Fine."
His face cheered up a bit when I said that and that made me smile a bit.
He then walks to somewhere and I followed him from the back.
I smiled realizing that he's giving his attention to me.
"I hope this last forever." I thought looking at his back smiling to myself like an idiot.
