Chapter 4|| Karasuno

Sugawara's POV

"See you later, I'll be going." I said as I closed the front door behind me and walked on my way to school.

It's April and the new school semester started for us again. Although we have our normal boring schedules again, I'm happy that the third school year has come. Especially because I have my daily club activities again and became the vice captain and the official setter of the Karasuno volleyball club.

I took my phone out of my pocket and checked if I had new messages. Nothing.

Mentally face palming myself I placed my phone back. Of course she wouldn't send a message at 6.50 am, she's probably still sleeping.

Chiyo's POV

My first school day!!!

I tried to calm myself as I walked through the school gates, but got more excited seeing all the students and freshmen. The cherry blossoms were falling off the trees and it was a start of a fresh new school year. I haven't told Sugawara about how I managed to transfer to Karasuno High yet because I wanted to surprise him if I saw him in class. And I honestly couldn't wait.

As I walked into the school building I saw a huge group of students pushing and standing on their toes to probably see in what class they are. Hearing a lot of happy cheering and disappointed voices I made my way through the crowd to look in which class I was. My eyes curiously observed the names on the lists when I suddenly found my name, but sadly Sugawara's name was not on the list.

"Class 3B?" I disappointedly whispered.

Letting out a tiresome sigh I walked the stairs up to go to my first class, home room class.

Don't let your mood drop Chiyo! It's your first school day in Japan again, keep a smile and pay fully attention in class.

When I arrived at my classroom I helplessly looked around. Seeing that everyone was already paired up into friend circles and students staring and whispering about me made me incredibly nervous. Of course, they are third years. It's weird when suddenly a transfer students comes in the last school year.

I decided to sit in the back row near to the windows. This school year is definitely going to be tough. How the hell am I supposed to make friends?

"Everyone be quiet and go to your seats please!" A middle aged woman with black hair which is tightly made into a small donut entered the classroom. She wore a black cocktail skirt with a white blouse and marine blue high heels.

"I'm your home room teacher Shizuku Ayame." The teacher wrote her name on the large black board behind her. "Well, shall we begin with the self introductions in the back?"

Frick.

"Young lady,' she pointed at me with her long finger. "Can you begin?"

I nod and stood up from my place. Directly I felt all the gazes concentrated on me and I felt as if my heart pounded in my throat. I slightly shrugged as I began introducing myself;

"Hello, my name is Ueda Chiyo and I'm seventeen years old. I was born in Japan but moved to Korea when I was fifteen years old. I came back living in Japan again this year and transferred to this school. Please take care of me." I made a small bow in front of me and then sat down behind my desk again.

As the murmurs started again around me I let out a relieved sigh. 'High school'.

Sugawara's POV

"Seems like we don't have much club members this year." I sighed as my eyes gazed down the list.

"Yeah, a lot less than last year." Daichi said as he gave the paper back to Shimizu.

"But does it really matter? We have our third years, the second years and the newbies so it's enough for me." Tanaka blurted out and folded his arms. "Why won't we just practice now? I've been waiting to spike some tosses Suga-san!"

I chuckled as I gave Tanaka a light punch on his shoulder.

"Well let's go."

As we walked to the gymnasium my eyes suddenly focused on someone who was standing there near the gymnasium door. And the door was open.. Did I hear someone playing?

"Daichi-san, there's a girl over there." Tanaka whispered. "... Does she want to confess to me maybe?!"

"No Tanaka." I answered as Tanaka was shocked hearing my answer.

The girl turned around and her long dark brown hair moved with her. She made a big smile as she ran towards me.

"Sugawara~!" I suddenly felt arms cringed around my torso and looked surprised down at.. At Ueda hugging me?

"W-what are you-" I stuttered a bit and went red as I also noticed Daichi and Tanaka snickering next to me.

"Oh yeah Japan, sorry." Ueda shamefully laughed and placed her hands back next to her hips, distancing herself from me. "When we see friends we hug each other, but here it's different of course."

We stood there awkwardly flustered avoiding eye contact.

"And you are..?" Tanaka asked standing between us.

"Ah sorry! I'm Ueda Chiyo, I'm in class 3B. I was in the same middle school as Sugawara and I recently transferred here. Nice to meet you."

"So.. You two are friends? I mean- I'm single and I would love to--"

"I'm Sawamura Daichi and this is Tanaka Ryunosuke. Nice to meet you too." Daichi interrupted as Tanaka pouted.

"Wait, you transferred here?" I asked.

"Yeah, I had to make some entry test and I passed! It went really well so they accepted me." Ueda shyly laughed. "Do I look okay in the uniform?"

"Ye-"

"You look beautiful Ueda-san!" Tanaka suddenly shouted and got hit by Daichi.

"Ahaha thank you Tanaka-san."

"But still, why didn't you tell me anything about this?"

"I simply wanted to surprise you." She giggled.

I blushed a bit. It was indeed very surprising to see her suddenly here in the Karasuno's girls uniform and hearing from her that she transferred here. She also looked very cute in her uniform. What a shame we aren't in the same class.

"W-what are you doing here!?"

We curiously turned our heads to the gymnasium door where we heard shouting voices. What the--

"The newbies?" Tanaka asked.

"The newbies." Daichi sighed.
