the day soon came to an end and i was exhausted. both physically and mentally. having gym on your first day of school isn't really pleasant.

as i was leaving the classroom i heard someone call my name.

"y/n? could you stay back for a minute"

i turned around to see my teacher talking to me.

"yes, sensei", i answered.

"look i don't wanna put too much on you because of what happened, but if this is too much let me know", she said handing me a stack of papers and a textbook.

"i'd be really nice if you could finish that for me by the end of this month, but if you're unable to that's fine it won't affect your grade."

"that's okay. thanks.", i said.

trying to avoid another conversation, i grabbed the book and papers and headed to my locker.

as i finished tidying things up i remembered something.

'you should stop by the gym after school, that's where me and akaashi will be at..'

his words lingered in my mind.

i closed my lockers and wandered around the school looking for the gym. around 5 minutes had passed and i almost gave up, until i heard the sound of shoes squeaking and balls hitting the floor around the corner.

i turned the corner to see the gym. the door was cracked a little so i decided to take a peek inside. it looked like an average volleyball practice.

'ugh what am i doing here'

'he was probably just trying to be nice.'

i started heading towards the door about to exit the school when i heard the gym door open.

"y/n?"

i recognized that voice.

i turned around to see bokuto standing there drenched in sweat with a smile on his face.

"where are you going?"

i felt kinda bad. i couldn't just leave him like that.

"uh, nowhere", i responded.

"oh, well i've been waiting for you, what took so long?", he said excitedly.

"i had to talk with my teacher.", i responded blankly.

"oh, well let's go inside i'll show you the team", he said grabbing my arm and dragging me inside. i heard the gym door close behind us and looked to see everyone staring at us.

i was pretty overwhelmed in that very moment, but bokuto just stood there with a silly smile on his face.

their coach came up to us and i thought i was gonna get scolded for interrupting their practice.

"you must be y/n", he said.

"yeah, that's me", i said shyly.

wait. how did he know who i was?

"if you're wondering how i know who you are, bokuto's been talking about you non-stop since practice started."

"talked about how we're definitely going to show up because you were his friend, kinda made it a bit unbelievable.", he chuckled.

'he talked about me?'

"well this is her", bokuto said pointing to me with a proud smile.

the sight made my heart warm.

i have a friend.

"it's okay if she stays, right coach"
