Hiding In The Stars.

Kiyoko360 and Freckles_Yachi

It was the evening before the day of the trip, and Yachi was stood over her camping bag, with her wardrobe open. She was going to be there for two nights, and for the Friday evening, she'd just wear whatever fell out of her wardrobe. The letter had said "Comfortable, cool, casual clothing, and warm nightwear recommended." So that's what Yachi packed. A long shirt to go under her t-shirts in case things got cold, boots designed for the outdoors, spare shoes and socks, and everything else she'd need. She sealed the bag and stood debating for a moment. She knew that the letter hadn't said bring food, but it helped to be prepared. She looked in the mirror at her outfit, thinking people might recognise her with her star clips in her hair. So she begrudgingly took them out, letting her hair down. She smiled at her reflection, big, baggy clothes hid her shape, and she grabbed a hat and stuffed it into her pants so she could put it on when she was the store. "Mum!" She called into the bathroom, were her mother was. "I'm heading out, I'm just going to the shop to grab some stuff for tomorrow." 

"Ok, stay safe, sweetie!" Her Mother called back. 

"I will." She said, heading out and putting her hat on. 

Yachi liked her city. Sure, it had its issues, but what city didn't? Her school and her entire life had been in this city, and so much had changed in the last few days, the last few weeks. But things in her city remained vaguely the same. The sun set, turning the buildings a light shade of orangey-gold, and people still walked or drove home from work, the only difference is she was having more fun than ever, with the volleyball team, not with work. But it would be ok. It had to be ok. She'd make it be ok. Her phone buzzed in her pocket, so she picked it up, and looked at the notification. 'Kiyoko360 has requested to follow you'. She sighed, thinking it was fake and placing her phone back in her pocket. She arrived at the store within a few more minutes, and was stood in the bottled drinks isle, when she felt someone tap her on the shoulder. "Don't I know you? From school?" Someone said. It wasn't a boys voice, a girls. Soft and strong, kind of like a captain's voice. It reminded Yachi of Daichi's voice, reassuring in a way but really chill and friendly. "Hey, you ok?" It asked again. 

"Oh, yeah!" Yachi exclaimed, taking of her hat and putting it back into her pocket. "I'm Hitoka Yachi," She looked at the girl, who was wearing a volleyball shirt from their school. "Oh! Your the captin of the girls Volleyball team!" She exclaimed, noticing her shirt. 

"And your the next in line to manage the boys. I'm Yui Michimiya." She said, smilling down at her. "So, whats up with the boys? They behaving?" 

"Sometimes," Yachi said, reminising on that time that Kageyama and Hinata had started fighting. "Some of them don't get along, but it's been forever, so I don't see why not! Everyone gets along with me, and I'm hard to...like." This made Michimiya laugh. 

"Well, I like you. And this is our first time talking. It takes a while to become a team, even now I'm still not sure that I can do it, pull everyone together when I need to. It gets tricky, but as long as you have one person pulling them together, then they should be fine." 

"Do you have someone like that? I suppose our one is Suga."

"Yeah, he's a good kid, isn't he? One of the only ones of them with a clean record." She replied, giggling. 

"What does that mean? The others have done stuff?" Yachi asked, and Michimiya rolled her eyes, smilling daftly. 

"Yeah, they've done stuff, but that's putting it lightly. For Daichi its just been a few missed home works, Kiyoko's as clean as they come, and as pretty to, but I have several storys about the third and second years. And I bet you do about the first years." She winked, and Yachi smiled. "So, what are you doing here? Preparing for the camping trip?"

"You know about that?" 

"Daichi told me. I try to maintain contact with him, you know, he's a good captain, I can learn somethings from him. He taught me a lot, and not just about Volleyball, about finding yourself as well." 

"What does that mean?" Yachi asked, and then, "Oh." Michimiya laughed, as she grabbed a bottle of the shelves. 

"You to? Yeah, so, blocking or serving?" 

"Huh? Oh, no! Suga told me- but he used cake." 

"Ah, I guess that makes sense. So, I like all kinds, you?" She said, as Yachi panicked and tried to grab two large bottles of the shelf and kncoked off a couple more. She ducked down and quickly picked them back up and onto the shelf. "You ok?"

"Yes, no, yes, I'm ok!" Yachi exclaimed, standing stright up again. Suddenly, Yachi's phone chimmed in her pocket. 

"You going to check that?"

"Nah, I'm sure it's nothing away. Probbly just one of the boys, Hinata or someone." 

10 minutes later, the girls had finished their shopping and were heading out, when Michimiya's phone chimmed once, twice, three times. "Oh, sorry, that's probably the group chat, I thought I had it on mute though?" As they continued to walk, Michimiya's phone continued to buzz and ping. "I am so sorry, Yachi, I'll just- Hey, Yachi, remind me of the notification you got before?"

"Huh? Oh, i don't know, hold on, I'll check it now." She pulled her phone out of her pocket and looked at it. "Oh, wait, how did he-"

"Yachi? You ok?" 

"Yeah, I'm just- Hinata sent me a link? To a post? On Instagram?" She clicked on the notification, opening up her messages with Hinata. "Huh? It says, 'Hey Yachi, is this you?' What the-" She clicked on the link, and it sent her to a post. It was a picture, a blurry picture, of her and Kiyoko at the start of the week, blurry, but like someone had enhased it. But you could clearly see Kiyoko, and Yachi, if you knew what she looked like. Yachi just stared at the picture, and the account name. 'Freckles_Yachi'. 

"Huh? What the hell? How did somebody get this? Oh, no. People are going to think I-" She looked at the caption. 'Back off x' it read. 

"Yachi? You should sit down." Michimiya said, placing a hand on her back and guiding her towards her seat. "Look, we can prove you didn't upload this. It was uploaded around 10 minutes ago, right?" 

"About 15, yeah." Yachi confirmed, looking at the time of upload. "Plus, this isn't my user? Mines just my name with some random numbers after it?" She, reluctantly, clicked on the comments, and scrolled through, and Mishimiya did the same. 

"Yachi- I-I'm sorry." Is all she could say, but Yachi shook her head and continued to read them. 

Is that Kiyoko and the really annoying smart one? 

Huh? No way, how can you be so egotystical? 

WTH. 

She kept reading until she came across two comment chains near the bottom. She regonised the names as some second-years in the boys volleyball club, who had tagged the whole second year-squad, who had replied to it, and who had tagged the third years and some of the first years. The second chain was of the girls volleyball team. And then, there was Kiyoko360's comment. 

OMG, stop, Yachi! Your embarssing me. 

Yachi showed the phone to Michimiya, who was typing something out, finished, and looked up. "Oh, god, Yachi, I'm so sorry." She said, putting her phone down. "Let your mother know your going to be a bit, we're going to meet Daichi, Suga and Kiyoko up the park."
