Met Him

Akaashi Keiji

"Hello, my name is Akaashi Keiji. I have recently just transfered here." I said as I stood at front. My hands were shaking due to nervousness.

I mean, what do you expect? You know none of these people. If you do something that can ruin your image, no one would want to be seen with you.

You don't want to be the topic of the class.

"Ah, yes. Akaashi-kun, what are your hobbies?" The teacher asked as she had her eyes at me.

Uh, why do I want to say what my hobbies are to a bunch of strangers?

"I like playing volleyball." I said. That isn't my only hobby. It is just one that makes me feel comfortable sharing with others I barely know.

"Take a seat Akaashi-kun."

2 vacant seats. One at the side with a window that had aview of the garden and one at the corner with not much light. Ah, I picked the one at the side with a window. That is a peaceful place to be.

As class was ongoing, I couldn't help but notice at all the eyes that were watching me. It felt like they were silently judging, discriminating and talking about me.

I tried my best not to mind them and took notes during class. Aesthetically made. Always neat and clean.

All my classes had finished. I wanted to join the boys volleyball club, besides that, I want to meet someone who would stay with me for the rest of my 2nd & 3rd year life.

As I walk down the hallway, I meet the one room I enjoyed the most. The music room. Music was something that made me happy, something that could calm me down in the time I am in a breakdown.

I opened the door to see a spiky white and black haired boy with a boy with black.... Bedhair? Bedhair is the only thing that came into my mind. The boy with white and black hair was playing the piano while the boy with black bedhair was listening with eyes closed.

I guess they didn't hear me come in. The boy started playing Lovely by Billie Eilish. It was just the start of the song. Having to hear this gave me the courage to take out my violin, and I did take it out. I new the song by heart. It was a song I would sing during those dark times.

It had finally got to the part where the violin comes in with the vocals. I had taken all my confidence to sing and play the violin. Once I had started playing the violin and singing, both of the boys had noticed, the boy with bedhair opened his eyes to see me near the door playing the violin and singing. The other continued but his eyes were wide.

After completing the song, I had introduced myself and said an apology for barging in. And just like that, I left them with their eyes wide and mouth open as if about to speak, but couldn't.

I made a stop near the vending machines to buy some grape juice. I sat near a bench to rest for a few minutes. About half an hour has passed, by scrolling through instagram. I picked myself off of the bench and made my way to the gym.

As I stepped inside, there were people in a circle, surrounding the boy who had played the piano earlier.

Is he in the volleyball club?

I took a few steps inside and I guess the boy who played the piano noticed me and walked pass them and towards me. "H-Hello?" I said, stuttering.

His appearance was different than a while ago. His hair were like droopy ears. His facial expression told me that he was gloomy. When I felt gloomy, I would play the violin.

I took out my violin once again and played Ocean eyes by Billie Eilish. Yes, I'm a big fan of Billie Eilish. I was singing and playing the violin in the same time.

I actually thought that we were the only ones there, until I heard clapping once I have finished. I quickly apologized.

"Oh, it's okay! Actually, you helped us big time. You see, that guy right there, is a 5 year old stuck in a 3rd year's body. He goes emo mode when he is blocked multiple times. And because you were here and played the violin, he is suddenly happy. You just tamed this wild owl."

"Wild... Owl?"

"Ah yes. His name is Bokuto Koutaro. He is loud and annoying, but we are still thankful he is the ace. He is actually pretty cool once you've come to know him. By the way I'm Konoha Akinori. Are you going to join the volleyball club?"

"I-I'm Akaashi Keiji. Transferee, 2nd year. Th-This is my club application." I said as I hand over a sheet of paper.

"HEY HEY HEY AGHAAASHEE!" Bokuto says as he runs towards me with his arms up in the air.

"Hello, Bokuto-san, nice to meet you." Even though I already met you like an hour ago—

"Nice to meet you too! Hoot." Did he just hoot? As in like, an owl sound?

"Hoot...? Why are you acting like an owl— GEH!" I was cut off by a Jacket being thrown onto my face. Ah, what a way to start first day of school.

"WELCOME TO THE TEAM!" Everyone shouted. I felt so happy in the inside. Am I actually getting success? Will I earn their trust? Can I be friends with them? From what I remember, the only friends I have are Suga, Yaku, and Iwaizumi.

Day 1: Nervous yet Successful.
Goals complete? Not entirely.
Met anyone new? Yes.
