Chapter 14

[Tournament Day]

We got on the bus at around 9:50 and arrived at the gymnasium at around 10:20. Though our game didn't start until 11, but it was good to scout and observe other teams. Or so the coach taught us to do so.

We had two more teams to verse before we went up matching up with Aoba Johsai. What were they again? I think as I take a look at the schedule from my clipboard.

Hokkaido Academy and...Matsubara High, huh?

...I need the bathroom.

"Chloe, I'm going to the washroom."

"Oh, want me to come with?"

I shake my head and hand her the clipboard.

"I'll be quick." And with that I take off.

After a flight of stairs a few turns I reach the bathroom, but stop short when I hear soft crying. I turn the corner into the room to see a girl with a black jacket, quickly wiping away her tears.

"Sorry, I didn't know anyone was here." I started to bow.

"I-It's fine." She said waving it off.

"..Your team lost?"

"....Yeah." Her eyes looked distant.

"Um, I'm sure you guys did your best..." Shit I'm bad at these things... "But you guys have another chance, yeah?"

She looked at me with something in her eyes, I wasn't sure what it was.

"When that chance comes, I'm sure you'll win that time."

"..Yeah, thanks." She flashed a warm smile. "Um, what's your name?"

"Oh, It's L/n F/n. Second-year manager at Shiratorizawa Academy."

"L/n-san, I'm Ito Jieun. First-year manager at Karasuno High."

My phone vibrates in my pocket violently, I frantically check it.

.chloe.: GURL WHERE R U

WE'RE STARTING SOONNN

HEYYYYYY

To which I quickly respond.

You: Sorry, I'm coming

I slip my phone into my pocket, and turn to Jieun.

"Sorry, I need to get back Jieun-san." I say while slightly bowing my head.

"It's alright, you should go."

"Well it was nice to meet you." I held out my hand.

"Yes, it was." She shook it and then let go to slightly me push me towards the exit. "Now go."

I ran back to our court, as quick as possible and made it in time.

"Geez, where were you?"

"Sorry, I got held up." I started to help her set everything up, towels, waters, the medkit.

"By some guys? Hmm~?" Satori teased.

"HUH? WHO?" Oh great, Eita's mom mode...

"Eita, it's not lik-"

"TELL ME, I'LL BEAT THEM UP FOR YOU" He claimed as cartoon irks appeared on his face.

"...I was comforting a crying girl but okay." I deadpanned.

Everyone: 👁👄👁

"I- oH?"

"HEY THE MATCH IS STARTING SOON, GET READY WARM UP YOU DUMBASSES!" The coach suddenly yelled at us, shocked us but got the team moving.

"Yes coach!" The boys started to warm up.

"Man, coach is a very... difficult man to deal with." I heard Chloe mutter under her breath and pouted. "Besides, I can't even walk properly, it's annoying!"

I froze, my whole body turning pale due to what I had to unfortunately hear last night. "How so? You were with Ushijima right? Did you guys go for a run or something?"

Chloe smiled and looked over to me. "Yeah! He wasn't going easy on me at all, I'm telling you, [Y/N]-chan!"

I sweat-dropped, knowing that she was teasing and lying. God... how did those two even end up together?

As chaos was going on during the warmup, unfortunately, for Chloe and I, were almost hit by exactly two volleyballs. Out of instinct, both of us immediately spiked it out of our ways, hard.

"Jeez... be more careful, will you?" I looked over to Chloe, who was smiling with her eyes closed, although it was not the sweet, crackhead and genuine smile that we'd usually see on her face, but a toxic and twisted one.

Ah shit, here we go again...

"FUCKING TRY HITTING ME WITH THAT ONCE AGAIN, I'LL DESTROY YOU!" She screamed, catching the attention of the audience, the team sweat-dropping.

So yeah, the match was delayed by 5 minutes since Ushijima had to hold her back and I totally did not confront the girls who did that.

TIME FOR A TAISHŌ SECRET! - Oh shit, wrong anime, let's call it a Haikyuu Secret ;)

*Chloe secretly dislikes the coach, the simple reason of him being too strict and only cares about power, etc.

Since the game was delayed, it was seen that Eita was trying - trying to stop [Y/N] from taking action to the girls who had planned on hitting the two with volleyballs. ([Y/N] was bouta bitch slap some flatasses)
