I'm here with Yuu (Nishinoya x OC)

Chapter 17

Amelia's POV

The Spring Tournament. I ran to school, not wanting to be late for my first official match. I met up with Nishi on the way but he was more quiet than normal.

"You OK?" I asked. He looked over at me.

"Yeah," He replied. "Just thinking about the match, that's all." We walked to school holding hands and the team noticed. Well, Tsukki did anyway.

"Ooh!" He said laughing and drawing the team's attention to us. "Nishinoya's got a girlfriend!" Nishi blushed but you weren't so easily phased.

"Yeah," I retorted. "Got a problem?"

"Tsk," He looked away. "Whatever." My fingers were still intertwined with Nishi's and I squeezed his hand. He squeezed back and looked at me. I smiled at him and he smiled back. We all loaded the bus, boarded, and found seats. The ride to the gym was rather uneventful but Tanaka kept looking over the seat to stare at Nishi and I. And Suga kept glaring at him over the back of your seat. We finally arrived at the gym and I helped the team unpack the bus. The gym was big, with multiple courts and lots of spectating space. I waited with the team for the official warm-up to start. I was anxious, bouncing on the balls of your feet and holding a water bottle in a death grip.

"Are you OK Amelia?" Daichi asked. I turned to face him.

"Yeah," I replied. "Just a little nervous, you know? It's my first tournament." He smiled reassuringly.

"You have nothing to worry about. You're not playing." He gave me another smile.

"Yeah, I guess you're right." I said. Takeda approached, saying it was time for the official warm-up. I headed up to the stands while the rest of the team went to the court. The starting whistle blew and Kageyama served first, gaining the team an easy point. The game continued and Karasuno took the first set. The second set came easily after the first one. I hurried downstairs to congratulate the boys when I ran into someone who was at least a foot taller than me.

"Oh, sorry," He said, looking down at me. "I didn't see you the-" He stopped mid-word when he saw my jacket. "Karasuno, eh?"

"Yeah, got a problem?" I retorted for the second time today. He smirked at my obvious sass.

"We will crush you." He passed me with the rest of his team and I watched them walk down the hall.

"Amelia!" Nishi ran up to me jumping up and down in front of me. "Did you see my receive at the end of the second set?" I put a smile on my face and ruffled his hair.

"Yeah," I said, making a motion like I was receiving the ball. "It was like bam and ka-boom!" I looked down the hall where that huge guy went and my smile faded a little.

"Are you ok?" Nishi asked. I looked over at him and he looked concerned.

"Yeah," I said. "It's just, there was this really tall guy and he had a green jersey on and he said 'we will crush you.'" I impersonated his deep voice when I repeated what he had said.

"He must have been from Kakugawa," Daichi said, Sugawara nodded next to him.

"They're our next opponents," Suga said. I nodded and looked down the hall and saw his head above the crowd.

"There he is." I said, pointing down the hall. Hinata froze at the sight of the giant.

"H-he's h-huge!" He stuttered.

"Hm," Tsukishima said. "5' 3" versus 6' 7"."

"I'm almost 5' 4" thank you very much!" Hinata tried to make himself feel better.

"Ok, so that's 5' 3" versus 6' 7". A sixteen-inch difference."

"I think Pikachu is sixteen inches tall," Tadashi said.

"The black-bellied lantern is sixteen inches tall too," Tsukki said. They started talking about sharks or something but it didn't make Hinata feel any better.

"Hey," I said reassuringly. "At least it's not 20 inches, right? No matter how bad it gets, there's always a situation worse." I smacked him on the back pushing him towards the doors to the gym. He looked back at me nervously and I smiled. "You got this." He smiled back but it looked a little forced. I ran back up to the stands and stood behind the banner. The team got in their huddle and did the team cheer.

"Karasuno.." Daichi started.

"FIGHT!" The team yelled and I screamed along with them.
