Semi and Shirabu never had a good time getting along with each other. Semi is quite bitter towards Shirabu ever since he took his spot as a regular setter, and Shirabu returned the favor and acts cold when Semi was around. Both of the setters gave snarky remarks to each other, they could go everyday giving scowls from left to right.

Semi has tried to act kind with Shirabu, but whenever he tried things would just get worse between each other. Even if they aren't friends off court, they can work well and can support each other on court. Tendou has tried to get the two to get along with each other with no success. The whole Shiratorizawa Volleyball team can see their dislikeness towards each other, even they have more arguments than Shirabu and Goshiki.

Shirabu never liked Semi, but he still respects him as his senpai and since he doesn't want things to become worse between the both of them. In all the arguments that Shirabu and Semi has, most are just arguments you can get from siblings in a daily basis. It's quite weird of how they can fight all the time, thought the other Shiratorizawa members. Oh, and it's not only Tendou that tried to get the boys to play nice, Kawanishi and Yamagata had more success in getting them to be nice. Supposedly Tendou's way of 'playing nice' could make their arguments worse.

It was the start of the fall season, where plants would stop producing, the air becoming colder and leaves turning into the colour red, orange, yellow or brown before falling

It was the start of the fall season, where plants would stop producing, the air becoming colder and leaves turning into the colour red, orange, yellow or brown before falling. Where people go apple picking, leave peeping, picking out pumpkins and so more. Personally I enjoy fall, maybe because I like the colour red and that it gives me a reason to where thick, warm and comfortable sets of clothing.

My alarm was ringing, waking me up and checking what time it was. It was 06:40 a.m, the time where I setted my alarm clock to wake me up, I've got an hour and twenty minutes to get ready for school. I got off my bed, stretching my body and headed to the bathroom and splashed water onto my face, waking myself up completely. I soon stripped and when into the shower, getting my daily shower in the morning. After the shower, I wore my Shiratorizawa uniform and took my volleyball uniform for today's practice.

I exited my room, but before that I took a glance of my clock, "Okay, I've got an hour and ten minutes 'till school starts.", I said to myself. Whilst I walked pass my living room, the whole house was silent, it's not like I'm not used to it. My parents left me with nothing but money enough to provide for myself. I mean, it took quite sometime to adapt to the situation but I was never that close with them so I was not that sad or lonely, they never paid me attention so there's nothing different about my situation now. They left around two years ago, when I was sixteen years old and on my Sophomore year. It wasn't as difficult to find a job as I expected it to be, I suppose people around here likes to hire high school students.

For a couple of minutes I prepared some food for myself, a simple BLT sanwich for breakfast. I sat my food down on the dinner table and sat on one of the chairs. While eating breakfast, I thought to myself. "Since today is Monday, pretty sure I have a few classes with Tendou and Wakatoshi...". "Oh, I'll probably pass by Shirabu throughout school since he does have classes near mine. Will I have to talk to him?"

I took a bite of my sandwich and there was silence in my mind until. "Wait, why am I worrying about something like this?! He doesn't even see me as a friend, just a teammate and rival, that's all...". I took another big bite and wondered even further, 'does he actually see me as nothing else than that?", I thought once. "I shouldn't worry about this, I shouldn't be surprised if he does."

"But why did it somehow...hurt?..". I shook the thought away and took another bite and later I finished my breakfast and got my things ready.

"Alright, I've got the books that I needed; Textbooks, notebooks etc. My pencil case too, yeah I've got that." I said to myself. "Ah my phone too, yeah I have it in my pocket. My water bottle too." I was saying everything out loud and didn't notice that somebody was at my door.

The sound of my doorbell rang three times. I walked over to the door and took a peek on who was outside, it was Tendou and Ushijima, I opened the door and had a neutral face. Tendou was smiling and acting as usual and Ushijima was there with an emotionless face as always.

"Hi Tendou, Wakatoshi. What are you two doing here?", I asked them still keeping my neutral face. "Hey hey SemiSemi, well I wanted to walk to school with you and Wakatoshi joined me!", Tendou semi-yelled as a response. Wakatoshi bowed slightly as a hello to me. "But my house is pretty far from school, you guys could've been late.", I said. "Well I have no problem in being late!" Tendou said happily. "If you don't want to be late let's go now." Wakatoshi said bluntly.

"I was getting ready before you both came to my door. I'll hurry up, you both can come inside if you'd like." I turned my back towards them and faced my bag. Tendou and Wakatoshi entered my house with their shoes off, they looked around the room analyzing things and looked back at me. I got my things ready in my bag and turned to them. "I'm ready, so let's go.", I said. "Okay okay!", replied Tendou.

07:10 a.m, an hour and fifty minutes until school starts.
