Sitting on the benches in the locker room you were clinging to your gym bag. It held her change of clothes, which you were meant to be changing into. However with so many others in the room right now you couldn't bring yourself to strip down. It felt weird getting changed in front of strangers, regardless of gender. You would rather change away from the prying eyes of others. You had decided to just wait for them to leave so you could change in peace. 

As you waited, giggles and murmurs of the other girls grew, drawing some attention to the group that it stems from. Hush whisper slowly grew from their little spot from one of the corners in the room, where they were situated till it seemed that the girlish giggles and blushing checks filled the room. Why? What could cause such a reaction from them? 

You didn't need to ask luckily, social interaction wasn't their forte. Apparently, though the tryouts were going to be unisex even though the volleyball teams were sorted by gender. This meant that the captain and vice-captains of the teams would also be overseeing the practice with the coaches. 

Like the tryouts weren't already stressful, they decided to throw that on top of it. You were not too excited about the additional eyes that would be scrutinizing you. But that still didn't explain why the girls sudden rush of excitement with this news.

After some reluctance, you asked the closest girl to yourself to see if there was something you were missing.

"Oh, you are a first-year so you might not know, but the boy's team has quite a few lookers on their team. Especially the Captain, not only is he handsome, but he is also blessed with a beautiful mind." The brunette gushed, she seemed to be rather fond of the boy's captain. or boys in general. But at least that had answered your question. With a small nod, you ended your interaction.

Within the short amount of time you were distracted with the other girl, the locker room seemed to have cleared out, only a few girls remained. This being a much better time, you started to change into your sports uniform. Being late to tryouts would not set a good impression on the coaches or captains.

Little did you know you had already left quite an impression on some of the captains. The boys were not expecting you to show up to tryouts at all in all actuality. For Iwaizumi it was a distant thought, you had shown up during a lunchtime practice but he had drawn it up to a coincidence. 

Oikawa, however, was solely focused on the guys warming up, you were but a distant memory, something he had put on the back burner of his mind right now.

However, when you joined the others on the court, it was hard to have you as anything except a forethought. Iwaizumi was thrilled to see you, even if he didn't let it show. To see you so soon again was a blessing. He had been disappointed that he hadn't seen you during breaks in classes. He had honestly no idea how to even begin looking for you and yet you have appeared right in front of him. It seemed like tryouts weren't going to be so boring this year.

Oikawa on the other hand was, conflicted. He was pleased to see you. You were at tryouts which meant you had an interest in volleyball, or maybe even him. Did you actually pay attention to him this morning? The could explain why you are here. but since you had come out of the locker room, you haven't even spared him a glance. This filled his chest, that was once bursting with pride, now with sinking disappointment. He couldn't tell why though.

While warming up with the other girls on the court you could feel a couple of burning gazes on you. It unsettled you, looking around, to find two tall boys glaring at you made you felt rather intimidated. You had barely done anything since you got here, what had gotten this reaction? 

Looking away as quickly as you saw them, you decided just to keep you head down to avoid there gaze. Recognizing the girl next to you as the same one you had talked to in the locker room you decided you needed a distraction, even if your social skills were comparable to a nervous animal's.
