"1st-years line up!" Yua shouts as the first years run to the other side of the net.
"Um, I'll start by introducing myself. My name Kiyomi Saito I'm the captain of the team and my position is ace." I say to the six 1st year students facing me.
"My name is Yua Amano, I'm the team's vice-captain so if you ever need help I'm there. Oh right, my position is setter." Yua says.
"Hiya my name Kimi Harada I recently started playing again but I would like my position to be an ace." Kimi says.
I quickly turn to face her only to see a slight smile on her face.
'Kimi knows there's only one ace on the team yet she purposely said that to challenge me.'
"Okay everyone who wants to go first?" Yua asked.
"I'll go first." The 1st year with brown hair stated.
"What's your name?" Kimi asked.
"Did you not read the clipboard? It had all the students' names." I asked her.
"Oh sorry, I didn't get a chance to see it." Kimi says.
"N-no it's okay. My name is Aiko Yamamoto." The 1st year says.
"Okay Aiko the rules are simple just receive 3 of Kimi's spikes and you're automatically on the team." Yua says.
I raise an eyebrow at Yua's words since this wasn't apart of the original test. What is Yua doing? She knows that Kimi can't control her spikes so why...?
"I'll try to hold back with my spikes since I don't have much control." Kimi states.
Kimi walks over to the opposing side of the net while me and Yua stand on the sidelines.
"Ready, and start!" I shout.
Yua grabs a volleyball and sets it to Kimi.
She shouldn't miss that spike, it was set straight to her.
Kimi begins to run toward the ball and jumps up right before reaching it causing the ball to slam right against her hand. The ball slams down against the floor on the other side of the court but...
"It's out of bounds." Yua says.
After repeating this process over 3 times Yua got tired of watching all the volleyballs fly out of bounds and decides to intervene.
"Aiko can you switch out with me please?" Yua asked.
"Yes." Aiko says before she runs to the sidelines with the rest of the 1st years.
Yua runs to the spot where Aiko was originally standing and speaks. "Kiyomi can you set the ball?" Yua asked.
"I'll try."
"Kimi, I want you to hit the ball towards me with all your strength." Yua says.
"Are you sure?" Kimi asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Yeah" Yua replies.
"Ready, and start!" I shout as I set the ball to Kimi.
Luckily the ball actually slammed against her hand when she jumped up. As the ball flies to the other side of the court I noticed what direction it was headed...
Right for Yua's face.
"Yua watch o-" I shout but by the time I said it the ball had already collided with Yua's head.
The ball then ricocheted off Yua's face knocking her onto the ground unconscious.
"Omg, Yua-chan!" Kimi shouted out.
I run to Yua to see a huge red mark on her forehead.
"Someone go get help!" I shout as I watch Aiko run out of the gym.
A few minutes later the gym doors slam open to reveal a panting Oikawa. He walks toward me and picks up Yua's unconscious body. Before running off in the direction of the nurse's office. I was quickly about to follow after them when I hear a voice from behind me.
"If she was too weak to handle my spikes why would she ask me to go all out?" Kimi says with a slight sound of happiness in her voice.
Something in me snapped as I turned around to face Kimi before both of my hands grab her collar.
"You listen up, and you listen very closely. This little game of yours better stop before someone gets hurt and it not gonna be me or Yua. So I suggest you take this thought to heart because I'm done playing nice with you." I say low but loud enough for Kimi to hear.
"But Kiyomi-chan who was it that got hurt last year? What makes you think it won't happen again." Kimi says before grabbing my collar. "You had best learn your place because right now your playing with fire."
Then Kimi let's go of my collar then snatches my hand off of her's. She then walks to the gym doors but right before she leaves I say something.
"Kimi whatever game you're playing at I hope you know that you won't win."
"Oh, dear Kiyomi-chan... Who said I'm playing a game." Kimi states darkly before walking out the door.
'What the hell is Kimi doing?!'
A tap on my shoulder snaps me out of my thoughts.
"You alright?" A voice behind me asked.
I turn around only to be met face to face with Iwaizumi. I could feel my eyes begin to water as I wrapped my arm around his neck and started to cry. To my surprise, Iwaizumi didn't push away. Instead, he began to pat my head trying to calm me down.
After a couple of minutes, I release Iwaizumi from my hold.
"Thank you and sorry." I mumbled only loud enough for him to hear.
"It's okay." He mutters while looking away from me with a small tint of pink on his cheeks.
I quickly wipe my eyes before turning back to 1st year students.
"I apologize for the incident that happened. I am also sorry for not being able to finish tryouts today. I will ask the coach about rescheduling the tryouts again for next week" I say as I give the 1st year students a 90° bow.
I walk back to the locker room and get changed back into my uniform. While I'm there I make sure to grab Yua's uniform as well. I walk out of the locker room with mine and Yua's stuff in my bag. As I walk to the gym doors I see Iwaizumi leaning against a pillar outside the gym. He looks up at me before asking.
"Are you ready to go?" In a soft and sympathetic tone.
"Yeah Iwaizumi, I'm always ready..."
