After a good night's rest I woke up to my vision no longer being blurry. Pushing myself out of bed I stretch my hands out and hear them crack. Getting out of bed I change into a black t-shirt shirt with the words 'Karasuno' written on the back and a pair of black shorts. I then grabbed my school jacket and my bags before heading out. Today was the first day of the school wide volleyball tournament and to be honest, I was a little nervous. There would be no classes for today, during the first period everyone would pile into the buses and we would head to the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium. Since there are six teams, three games will be played at once and then after an hour break another game will be played against two teams for a spot in the finals while the other team gets a free pass. Opening my class door I saw my teammates clustered together, all of us were wearing matching outfits.

"We're twining~" Kagera said jokingly and I laughed.

"You guys ready?" I asked and they all nodded. Tobio looked the most excited. "Tobio you look like a dog wagging its tail happily."

Tobio blushed and screamed, "(Y-Y/N) you boke!"

Ah, I've been reduced to Shoyo's level, I thought to myself and dramatically clutched my heart and wiped a tear from my eye.

"(N/N) you're so funny!" Amu chirped up and I patted her head to which she pouted. "Are you ready captain?"

"Captain?!" I blurted out shocked. The word felt foriegn to me because the word captain doesn't suit me like it would to Sei. It was a nice feeling, but at the same time I felt weird.

"Oh are you embarrassed?" Kaito added on nudging my shoulder. "We'll be calling you captain all tournament then!"

"W-What?!" I spat out, flustered. "Please don't!"

"I apologize (Y/N)," Yuki said and I felt like I was betrayed when I saw him smirk evilly at me. "The majority vote says we call you captain."

I groaned and headbutted Tobio who froze. I looked up at him as he looked down at me. "Let's have fun... Captain."

"TOBIO YOU TRAITOR! I CAN'T TRUST ANY OF YOU ANYMORE!" I screamed and ruffled my blond hair.

They all laughed at me, including Tobio and Yuki. I felt betrayed, but I laughed with them, a small smile plastered on my face. Soon enough the teacher came in the room and the bell rang. She took attendance and then in an orderly fashion we walked outside and onto the bus. Since we were the representatives of the school we would have to sit in the front in order to get out first. During the bus ride Amu and Kaito talked to each other while Kagera slept besides Yuki who was reading. Tobio was doing his nails, making sure his nails were short, while I was looking out of the window.

We eventually arrived at the Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium and one by one student's got off their buses. Our classmates and fellow peers walked to the stands while my team and I walked towards the waiting area where the other teams were. When we walked through that door I immediately felt eyes on us, afterall we were the last team to arrive. I walked toward an empty area and placed my bag down, my team followed.

Turning to my team I said, "We got twenty minutes until the games start so don't walk away too far, okay?"

"Understood captain~" Kagera said while placing his bag down and throwing an arm around Yuki's shoulder. "We are going to the vending machine. Later."

While Yuki and Kagera walked away Kaito and Amu told me that they were going to talk to some friends before the games. That left Tobio and I alone in our small area. We both sat down on a wooden bench and I looked around the room, analyzing everyone.
