"I have practice after school too so, do you want to walk home by yourself?" Kageyama asked me as we're on our way back to class. I shrugged my shoulders, "I'll just stay," I said while I opened the door to the classroom.

Kageyama and I entered the classroom and sat at our desks. "Just come in the gym next time, you can sleep on the bleachers," Kageyama said. I looked up at him, Should I? It'll be so awkward though...I shrugged my shoulders, "Yeah, I guess I'll stay in the gym."

While taking notes for English, I noticed that Kageyama isn't writing anything. I furrowed my brows as I gave him a little tap on his shoulder. Kageyama turned to me and I leaned closer, "You okay?" I said. Kageyama nodded as he turned back to the front of the class.

I gave him another tap of the shoulder, Kageyama furrowed his brows, "What," he said as I held up my notes. "Do you need them?" I asked. Kageyama just stared at the notes until he sighed and nodded, "I'll give them to you after class," I said and continued writing my notes.

The last class of the day is finally over. I sighed as I packed up my books and placed them in my bag. I stood up, stretching my back. I opened my eyes to see Kageyama staring, "What?" I questioned as I let my hands fall to my sides. "You have scars on your stomach too?" He questioned as I looked down at my shirt which is now untucked.

I turned around, my back facing Kageyama, as I tucked in my shirt. "Yeah, they're burns," I finally turned around after tucking in my shirt. "You ready?" I questioned as Kageyama nodded and picked up his bag. While we walked to the gym, I can see Kageyama sneaking a glance at me.

I sighed and face him, "Yeah?" I asked. Kageyama rubbed his neck, "I just wanted to know if they were caused by the same person the gave you the scars on your arms," He said. I thought about telling him, Should I? Do I trust him enough? I sighed and nodded. Kageyama hummed and we walked to the gym in silence.

"Are you going to come in?" Kageyama asked. I replied by nodding my head. Kageyama opened the gym doors and my eyes widen. I've always wanted to play volleyball in an actual gym. My father will always teach me how to play volleyball since it was his passion throughout high school and college. My mom wasn't the biggest fan, she'll constantly say how I need to know how to do more 'feminine' things like drawing.

I was never good at drawing, but in volleyball, I was at least decent. I walked into the gym while Kageyama walked up to his coach. "Is it fine if my friend stays here during practice?" Kageyama asked as the guy I presume to be the coach nodded. "Of course," He said before turning to me. "I'm Coach Ukai, and you are?" I bowed slightly as I introduced myself. "I'm (l/n) (f/n), I hope I won't be a problem." The Coach waved his hands in the air, "It's no problem at all, you can just sit over there," The coach said while pointing to a bench.

I sat on the bench as Kageyama nodded at me and left to go change. I placed my bag down. I pulled out my phone, scrolling through my feed. "l/n-san?" Someone asked as I looked up to see a familiar face staring down at me with a smile. "Hello, Sugawara-san," I said as I stood up to talk to him. Sugawara giggled, "Just call me Suga and you can sit back down," I nodded my head and sat back down.

"It's nice to see that you're alright, anyway I go to go get changed. I'll see you later," Suga waved as he walked towards the changing rooms. I waved back and went back onto my phone. Kageyama soon came out of the locker room and walked towards me.

"Practice will last for a few hours," He said as I nodded my head. "I know," I said as the rest of the team left the locker room and entered the gym. Kageyama joined his team on the court and began to stretch. I observed the rest of the team, this is the most attractive volleyball team I've ever seen.

After scrolling on my phone for a while, I decided to look at the practice game the team was playing. I sighed as this brought up a wholesome memory...

"Okay, y/n put your hands together like this," My father said while in position waiting for me to copy him. I put my hands together, "This is the position where you'll pass or bump the ball," My father tossed the ball into the air and used the position to pass/bump it to me. I quickly got in position and attempted to pass it back to him.

I passed the ball back to my father and he caught it. "Good job y/n! You're a natural just like me!" My father said while smiling brightly. "Dad, I want to play volleyball just like you when I get older!" I said while passing the ball to my dad. He passes it back, "You promise?" He said while I passed the ball back and smile, "I promise."

I sighed at the memory, I'm sorry, dad. I looked back at the game and I spot Kageyama setting a ball to Hinata. My eyes widen as I see Hinata quickly spikes the ball over the net. They work so well together. I slightly chuckle, Kageyama makes it seems like he hates him.

The boys started walking towards the bleachers, I look up from my phone to see them staring at me while they walk up to me. I gulp and put away my phone. I stood up and walked to them. "Hello, I'm (l/n) (f/n)," I said to the group of boys.

A black-haired girl walked over to us, "Guys give l/n-san space," She said while walking up to me and smiling, "Hello l/n-san, I'm Shimizu Kiyoko. I'm the manager," I smiled and shook her hand, She's so pretty.

Everyone soon started to introduce themselves. "Tanaka, isn't l/n-san so pretty?" The black-haired boy with a blond streak in his hair—which I learned is Yu Nishinoya said. I felt my cheeks heat up, "I know right! l/n-san, you're so pretty," Tanka said and Kiyoko nodded next to me.

"O-oh uh thank you," I said as I felt awkward with everyone looking at me. The captain soon spoke up, "Don't scare the poor girl," he scolded as I waved my hands in the air, "It's fine, Daichi-san" I said as Coach Ukai told everyone to return to the court. They all waved and went back to practice.

I walked back to the bench and took a seat. I covered my face. So embarrassing. I settled into the bench and hid my face within my sweater. I swiftly drifted asleep. I felt a tug on my sweater. I looked up to see who it was. Kageyama was pulling my sweater sleeve down.

I furrowed my brows and look towards my sleeve and looked back up at Kageyama, "What?" I questioned with a confused look on my face. He frowned while looking at my arms, "Nothing, let's go," He said and started walking away. I quickly picked up the bag and ran to catch up with him.
