Trying

Chapter 9: Fukurodani

"Is that..."

"Could that be..."

"The tokyo skytree?!"

"No, that's just a normal steel tower." Kai-san says. I giggle upon hearing this, followed by Kuroo's laugh. I look around, trying to spot a blob of orange hair, but landed my eyes on a pair of gleaming brown eyes. I wave awkwardly at Karasuno's libero, who was staring at me with an unwavering gaze. I shift under his stare, beginning to feel uncomfortable. 

"Stop that Nishinoya, you're scaring her." A silver haired boy scolds, hitting him on the head. 'He's like Yaku-san.' 

"Sorry about that. You're Nekoma's manager, correct?" I nod my head meekly. He seemed familiar. Oh, right! He's the third-year setter. 

"I-i'm (F/n)(L/n)!" 

"It's nice to meet you (L/n)-san. I'm Koshi Sugawara."

"Y-you can just call me (L/n), Sugawara-san." 

"In that case, you can drop of the formalities with me too. Just call me Suga!" He says, smiling. I nod again before turning my head towards Yamamoto's direction, who was kneeling on the floor. I mentally facepalm.

"E-excuse me, Suga-san." I say, before heading towards Yamamoto.

"T-the girls have multiplied!" Yamamoto says dramatically. I sigh at his behavior, and quickly shoot Kiyoko-san an apologetic look, as well as the blonde girl. I smile at her warmly, while she returned it with a wobbly one.

"Take a good look Tora, this is the sanctity of Karasuno ." Tanaka says, while laughing proudly. I sweatdrop at the two, before turning my attention back to the two girls.

"It's nice to see you again (L/n)." 

"Y-you too Kiyoko-san! I see you have a new addition to the team." I say, waving at the blonde girl. She returned the wave, with a small blush on her face.

"I-I'm Yachi Hitoka, a first year! I-It's very n-nice to meet you (L/n)-senpai!" She says, bowing down. I jump back a little, startled by her little outburst, while a small blush creeped up my face.

"A-ah, y-you can just call me (L/n), Hitoka-chan." I smile at her. It's really embarrassing to be called 'senpai', especially since i'm only a year older.

"O-okay (L/n)-san!" We all head into the gym, going to our respective teams. 

"Where's Shoyo?" Kenma asks.

"He's busy with school." Yamamoto replies. 'Oh, so that's why..' I put down my sports bag, and sat beside Lev, who was staring intensely at Azumane-san and Suga-san. I give Lev a little nudge on the shoulder, catching his attention.

"Can you stare at them a bit more..softly?" Lev tilts his head in confusion.

"How do you stare at them more softly (F/n)-san?" 'Wait, how do you stare at them more softly?' 

"I guess like this..?" I say, trying my best to imitate Lev's stare earlier and did a softer verion of it?..I didn't really understand what I said, to be honest. Lev laughs while pointing at me. 

"You look like a lost kitten (F/n)-san!" I blushed at the comment. I didn't really know whether that was a compliment or a mock statement.

"Hey hey! You're the new manager Kuroo was talking about, aren'tcha?" I look towards the direction of the person who called me, and saw that it was..Bokuto-san, was it?

"If that horned owl comes to you," Kuroo says, holding up his hair to, what I suppose would be Bokuto-san's hairstyle, "Just ignore him, it would be best not to waste your precious time on him."
