changbin smiled up at the school. what a way to start the week. try outs for the only volleyball team on campus. tomorrow would be the first day of classes so he hadn't really got everything he needed for notes due to his excitement for volleyball. he held his volleyball shoes in one hands, the other gripping the strap of his bag tightly.
he hurried to gymnasium one and stopped in front of the large doors. the sound of volleyballs hitting off of object sounded through the heavy material. he sucked in a shaky breath before opening the doors. the manager stood there beside a table and smiled at him.
"freshman?" changbin nodded. "an what position are you trying out for?"
"libero," he said with a shy smile.
"oh! so we only have three people trying out for libero this year. usually it's around six people," the manager rambled.
changbin signed in with his name and previous experience in volleyball before moving to place in bag in the changing room. he slipped on his knee pads and volleyball shoes before standing. the moment he turned he collided with a chest. changbin gasped as he fell back, landing on his butt. the other male looked down at him and scoffed.
"i didn't think you'd actually show up today. i seen at that training camp with that college team over the summer. i worked with the powerhouse schools. teams that have won nationals. you aren't getting the libero position today, i'm going to make sure of it."
"i-it's felix if i remember, right? but um i actually trained with two college teams and i can receive basically any ball now."
felix scoffed again before walking out of the changing room. changbin scurried to his feet and left the room as well, carrying his water with him.

the spike was seconds from slamming against the court. changbin slid forward, his palm flat. the ball hit his skin and went airborne once again.
"nice save, changbin!" the setter, huening kai, called out as another person sent the ball to him.
"left side!" the other team's blockers called out before moving as quick as the could to where the ball was headed. felix stabled himself ready to receive the spike if it broke through the blockers.
in a split second, the ball flashed past him, hitting the court right before the out line. he stood in shock and met eyes with changbin before looking at the coach. he asked for a timeout which was gladly given.
"i want to try a spike. and i want that changbin kid in my previous position so he can try to stop that dude's spikes."
"jaehyun, you'll be sitting out for this next set! woozi, i need you on the red team! and changbin, you take felix' previous position."
the three boys nod and hurry to where they need to be. changbin pulled off the red cover jersey and handed it to woozi. they switched positions and stood in their places waiting on the whistle. the rest of the gymnasium had gone silent, watching the practice match.
felix stood on the line, ready to serve. at the sound of the whistle he tossed the volleyball into the air and began to jog forward. he jumped and hit the ball, the serve not spinning and moving aimlessly in it's path. changbin locked his eyes on it and watched as moved to his right. he move and in a split second the ball went straight to the setter.
"nice float server, felix!" changbin could hear huening kai exclaim as the front blockers stood ready. the tallest spiker on this side of the net, jeong yunho, moved forward and jumped, the toss flying through the air. he slammed the ball to the ground and smiled in triumph.
it was yunho's turn to serve. he went back to the line and awaited the whistle. when it came he didn't do a jump serve, just a normal serve. it was easily received and sent to the huening kai. he set up the toss and sent it to felix, the boy jumping into the air. a single blocker jumped in front of him. he struck the ball past their fingers. changbin was quick to reach the ball before it hit the floor.
it was up and flying over the net.
"sorry, guys!" he called out, getting ready to receive it again. huening kai was the first to touch the ball, tossing it behind him to the spiker that surprised felix. the moment his hand touched the ball changbin was springing forward, anticipating his cut spike. and the ball came, hitting the edge of yunho's hand and slamming against changbin's forearms.
he had just received the most powerful spike given to him here.
