Chapter 2 - Meeting pt. 1

"Excuse me... Miss? Excuse me, Miss, we're here."

A hand gently tapped my arm. I opened my eyes. It was the driver.

"Oh! I'm so sorry that I fell asleep. Is this the house?"

"Yes. I hope you like your new school! Have fun in Japan." The lady smiled.

"Thank you so much for driving me. Have a safe trip back to Tokyo!"

We said our goodbyes, and I took my bags from the trunk. I walked up the front walkway to the house. It was pretty, medium sized, and painted a light blue with navy shutters. This was where the family I would be staying with as an exchange student lived. I knocked on the door. Nobody answered. I knocked again. This time I heard footsteps approaching. A shorter boy with orange hair who looked to be about my age opened it.

"Hi! Are you (Y/N)?" He asked, smiling brightly.

"Yes. Is this the Hinata household?"

"Sure is! Come inside!" He held the door for me. He seems like a really nice guy. A smaller, girl version of him wandered in from the living room. "You can call me Shōyō. This is my little sister, Natsu. She might be kind of shy at first, but she'll be more talkative once she gets used to having you around."

"Hello, Natsu. I'm (L/N) (F/N)." She just hid behind Hinata.

"Natsu, say 'hi!'" Hinata prompted.

"Hi, (Y/N)." Hinata smiled. 

Natsu grinned before hiding behind Hinata again.

"Mom is at work right now; she's a nurse. She'll be back later, though. Come, I'll help you with your bags."

* *Timeskip because I'm lazy and need a good size chapter lol* *

I woke to my alarm. It had been a week since I had arrived. Today was going to be my first day at Karasuno. I got dressed and went downstairs, where Shōyō was making four bento boxes.

"Good morning, (Y/N)! I know you aren't from Japan, so you prefer being called (F/N)?" I nodded. "Since I'm calling you by your first name, you can call me Shōyō. I already ate breakfast, so I'm making lunch for Natsu, Mom, you, and I."

"Oh, Hinata, you really don't have to-"

"It's fine! I already make lunch for Mom and Nee-chan anyway. Feel free to help yourself to anything in the fridge for breakfast."

I opened the refrigerator. My eyes landed on the cold fruit, my favorite food. I don't care what fruit it is. Any cold fruit is delicious. I grabbed an apple and turned back to Hinata. "So... Karasuno. What's it like?"

"Well, it's pretty good, I guess. The people there are nice. I'm part of the boys volleyball club. You should join as a manager! We already have two, but I'm sure they'd love having a third!"

"That sounds fun. How do I sign up?"

"I'll bring you with me to practice today. I think Kiyoko, the third year manager, has some sign up forms." He finished the boxes and put two in the fridge. "Ready to go?"

"Yup! Just let me go brush my teeth and I'll be ready."

When I came back downstairs, Shōyō was at the door. I put on my sneakers and grabbed my bag. We headed out.

"Thanks for lunch, Shōyō."

"You're welcome!" He beamed. Wow. This is one happy dude. He told me that he bikes to school every day, so yesterday, we went to the store and I bought a cheap bike. "Just so you aren't surprised, it is kind of a long ride," He said, watching me out of the corner of his eye.
