As you walked down the corridors, you couldn't help but think about the boy you just met. A small blush still was present on your cheeks, and a few people you passed gave you a knowing look which just made you blush more. You couldn't help it. He was cute...
Shaking your head as if to dissipate your thoughts you made your way back to the bench you and Hitoka were sitting at moments before. Having a volleyball flying into a tree caught you attention; and you eyes lit up at the sight of it. Someone was playing volleyball?
"Dumbass! Can't you ever get it right?"
"Hey! It wasn't my fault, you served the ball to hard."
"Learn to receive it then moron!"
You chuckled at the duo, of course it was Hinata and Kageyama- they must be practicing for that practice match they mentioned the other day. And it looked like Hinata was terrible at receiving. Although he was good at spiking and getting there with receiving it seemed Kageyama was getting frustrated. You looked towards the path beside the small grass patch, noticing a girl, presumably in your year, walking by. You panicked realizing that she would going to get hit by Kageyama's spike and quickly stepped in. Running towards the girl and shielding her. Putting your arms in position; receiving the ball just in time. The ball bouncing against your arms with a satisfying sound as it dropped to the floor.
"Oh thank you for saving me from that one" the young girl mumbled. She looked a bit shook up and embarrassed from the whole situation however you just gave her a comforting smile.
"No problem. It wasn't your fault, they're not practicing in a safe place for others."
You noticed a few people staring at you by now, with there mouths agape surprised at your receive. You blushed in embarrassment, turning you head to the side waiting you people to carry on with what they were doing, but secretly happy with your receive. It wasn't too bad- it could've gone a lot worse than it did.
"Wow (Y/n)-chan that was so cool!" Hinata came running up to you, jumping up and down in excitement. "It was like- woooshhh and you jumped it and it bounced against your arms like pompffff" he narrated, swishing his arms about it exaggerated motions. You couldn't help but laugh at him; he really was an idiot but he had good intentions and a good heart.
Kageyama just stared at you, unsure of what to say or do. These two were really quite a pair. You had a feeling for them, this was the beginning of a new partnership.

A few days passed and you still hadn't seen that boy - Nishinoya- and you were beginning to wonder whether he was in a different year. That would make sense: since you rarely ever see him but that would make him your upperclassmen... And that makes you embarrassed. You couldn't believe you ran straight first into an upperclassmen. You wouldn't be surprised if he didn't particularly want to talk to you, however you couldn't get him out of your mind. After school today was the practice match Hinata had invited you too, and you were pretty excited. You loved volleyball and was ecstatic to see your first high school match, maybe even learn a thing or two.
You figured out which class Hinata was in and waited for him outside the classroom. He came running out of the classroom eager to begin his match and you just laughed alongside with him, running down the corridor to catch up with him. The two of you made your way to the gym, you waiting outside nervously afraid to enter.
"Oh hello there!" a kind voice called from behind you, startling you ever so slightly. You quickly turned around, seeing a kind, presumably upperclassmen smiling at you kindly. You immediately relaxed, seeing you could trust him and gave him a smile yourself.
"Hello, sorry for the intrusion. Hinata invited me along to watch the practice match and as a new member of the girl's volleyball club I'd love to watch for the experience and hopefully learn some things for the future" you explained timidly, bowing to show your appreciation. He laughed ever so slightly, causing you to look up anxiously.
"Of course no problem, although its quite funny how different you are to Hinata yet you seem like good friends."
You smiled, imaging Hinata's energetic personality and laughed too.
"I guess we are quite different in some ways. Yet similar in some ways too... It's strange really I've never thought of it before--"
"WOAH! Sugawara! Whose the hot girl!?" A loud voice chimed behind you. You jumped at the loud voice, blushing slightly at his comment.
'...Hot?'
Luckily, the upperclassmen you have now come to know as Sugawara answered for you:
"She's a friend of Hinata's and a member of the girl's volleyball team. She came to watch the practice match."
"Man I'm pumped- I'm so ready this match!"
"Um..."
"That's Tanaka. He's a second year and a member of the volleyball team."
"Wait- he's my upperclassmen?" you exclaimed loudly, gaining his attention once more.
"Yeah I am, you can just call me Tanaka-Senpai."
Sugawara whacks him round the head lightly, dragging him into the gymnasium, scolding him for 'embarrassing the first years.' You laughed at the sight, you didn't mind Tanaka. He seemed to have lots of energy and high spirits and in volleyball, that can be a huge help for the teams morale. You distantly heard Hinata calling you in the distance, turning round to wave at him happily.
"Hello Hinata!" you greeted happily, raising you hands for a high-ten which he happily complied too. It seemed this became a usual greeting for the two of you, but you didn't mind all too much. You and Hinata were getting closer and closer day by day. You could also see Kageyama walking up as well. It wasn't that you disliked Kageyama, but you didn't particularly like him either. You waved in greeting anyway to be polite and you saw someone you never expected to see.
"Tsukishima?!"
"Oh great. It's the stupid volleyball girl."
"Hey! I'm not stupid- I'm getting better grades than you are already. And what's wrong with liking volleyball? Isn't that why you're here?"
"Yeah whatever."
You also noticed a timid boy beside him, with dark green, spiky hair and cute freckles on his cheeks. You waved towards him with a reassuring smile.
"Hello! I'm (L/n)(Y/n), nice too me you."
"Oh hello...Yamaguchi Tadashi."
"Well, what are you waiting for?" A voice called from inside the gym. You panicked before rushing it.
"Gomen! Sorry for the intrusion...I'm-"
"Don't worry Sugawara filled me in. Nice to have you- Yui was telling me all about you... I'm Sawamura Daichi" he introduced calmly. Your eyes lit up at the news.
"Yui-Senpai was talking about me?"
"Yep, she's impressed with your talents as a libero. Maybe you could help Hinata learn to receive..."
"Wait- where's your libero?"
"He's on a one month ban from club activities, but he should be coming back soon."
"Oh... Okay." You noticed the boys doing there warm up drills and grinned excitedly.
"I can tell this will be a great match."
"I think so too. Even though Hinata and Kageyama are idiots, if they work together..."
"They'll be unstoppable" you said in sync.
"Come on Daichi- you need to warm up!"
You watched as Daichi as ran to his teammates, and began warming up. You could tell a very exciting match was ahead of you, and you couldn't wait.
