'Is it true Saito-san's dating that giant from Class Four?'

'I didn't know she liked guys like him. He's such an asshole.'

'I heard he's on the volleyball team. He's so hot!'

'Why am I just recognising this? He's so cute! What's his name again?'

The news spread like wildfire. It seems as if the third-year has quite the big mouth, causing not only your homeroom, but Karasuno High to know your business. It was annoying.

Tsukishima never brought up the topic. Once the third year was out of sight, he let go of your hand and scolded you. His scolding reminded that of your father's but you ignored the resemblance in communication.

He called you his girlfriend. To be very honest, besides the hookups and Kuroo, you have never been in an actual relationship. So the term was new to you.

It was gym class, and ironically, your homeroom was assigned volleyball for the sport of the week. Fortunately, the girls and boys were split up, so at least you weren't being gawked at by your male classmates. Unfortunately, from the girls of your homeroom, it seems like you were getting glares, besides Etsuko and Chiho of course.

"Alright class! We're just going to be playing a little scrimmage. I want everyone involved! We'll play a three on three, so get into groups of three and I'll pair you with another group. Be smart!"

"Ugh!! Why do we have to play volleyball...why can't we play another sport?"

"Chiho-chan, what other sport would you like to play?" Etsuko inquisitively asked her friend with the pink rimmed glasses. Chiho huffed, crossing her arms across her chest. You chuckled, stretching your arms and eventually stretching your legs to make sure they were free of tension.

Sure, volleyball wasn't your ideal sport, but it was one that you played before. The boarding school in Italy had some volleyball fanatics, and unfortunately, they were your friends so you were forced to play with them. It was fun, you learned the tactics and the basics, but it wasn't something you could see yourself doing competitively.

"Okay! Saito-chan, Suzuki-chan, and Oh-chan! You will be group C, for the scrimmage I'm pairing you with group B. Your group is playing first, warmup on the court."

"Aww, and we're playing first?!? Now I regret not visiting the shrine with my mom the other day..." Chiho whined, following after you and Etsuko onto the court. Of course the ordinary warmups were done, receiving, passing, Etsuko wanted to practice her setting, which frankly, she was actually pretty good at.

Then, as your were receiving a ball Chiho had passed to you, another volleyball seemed to have been aimed really close to your head. The sudden change of wind speed caught your attention, causing your head to fling towards the culprit.
