Middle school couldn't have been better for Kuroo. He didn't have any classes with his best friend this year, but they were guaranteed spots on the football team after last year and enjoyed their extended freedom from their parents.
"Terushima Yuuji?"
"Here!"
They met Iwaizumi and Oikawa at orientation the previous year and easily clicked with the pair. Yaku and Oikawa were the only two to share a class this year, rubbing it in the other's faces.
"Shirofuku Yukie?"
"Here!"
His own classes were okay, thought he struggled a bit with the core classes. Gym was his favorite as the teacher was his football coach.
"Kuroo Tetsurou?"
"Here!"
Kuroo got along with everyone in his class except one person.
"Daishou Suguru?"
"Here!"
It wasn't that they didn't get along or disagreed. The boy was never in class.
"Akaashi Keiji?"
It had been impossible for Kuroo not to notice him. Akaashi had a beauty thta rivaled Oikawa's - not that Kuroo would ever tell the brunette. Akaashi had only come to class four times in the two months they'd been in school. Yaku told him that Akaashi had only attended his science class once, but he was still on the roster.
"Akaashi Keiji, absent."
Kuroo glanced up at the projector on the wall, the roster open with each student's grade level and overall class score visible. It didn't make sense to him that Akaashi was never in class, a grade below him, yet still had one of the highest grades in the class.
He needed to know who Akaashi Keiji was. The curiosity was driving him insane.
