Kageyama has staring contests with your cat.
It usually only lasts a few minutes before your cat is leaping or walking away, even when Kageyamaโs eyes are still on him. He had expressed to you that he always had an inkling cats did not like him very much, to which you insisted that isnโt true, that your cat just isnโt used to him yet.
Your cat is, however, used to and fond of your boyfriendโs volleyball cat toy he had purchased in hopes of winning some brownie points.
โHeโs kind of like you if you were a cat,โ you teased one time as you guys watched him play with it, also referring to your catโs similar blue eyes and dark fur.
That just made Kageyama observe your cat more. Needless to say, the staring contests continue โ occurrences of which you ignored, until now.
Today, itโs taking longer than usual and you sense that neither of your boys refuse to break eye contact, stormy gazes staying strong. And as amused as you are, you selfishly want some attention yourself.
โTobio, let it goโโ
You barely finish your sentence before you are both taken by surprise as your cat leaps off the coffee table, right into Kageyamaโs lap, and proceeds to curl into a comfortable resting position.
You almost coo at the image, especially when Kageyama looks up at you with guileless awe, hand petting your purring void, and quietly exclaims, โHe likes me.โ
You smile, humming in agreement as you watch your home grow livelier. โTold ya so.โ

alexa, play seventeen crush
Baby, you're my crush, you're my crush





iโm sure someone has already said it. but iโm rewatching and itโs all i can fucking think
they keep calling it the โfreak quickโ itโs not my fault
Bullies Were Never My Kinda Thing
italicized means Japanese
This is based on that one trend from tiktok where the k-drama fmc gets the classic milk dump and the american student puts her hands up making the cafeteria a wwe ring.
the song I listened to: tiktok 1 hour repeat of 'Dumb wit it' aka not my song
my inspo: k-drama bully scene & american student trend
My bike makes a skidding sound as I pull up in front of Karasuno. A new school. First school in Japan, but probably won't be the last... Not with my track record.
I park my bike and lock it to the bike rack. I walk in, my shirt untucked, and drinking from a juice box. My bag is hanging off one shoulder, and full of study materials I probably will forget about in a week.
I find a bench and set my bag down, trying to find my schedule. As I'm digging through it, I feel a body bump into my butt. I whip around, ready to smack a bitch, only to find a girl. Shorter and a little thinner than me, but definitely needs a shove from the right person to get her to move. I catch her by the shoulders. "You good?" I ask her in English, forgetting that not everyone knows English- shit.. um.. "ๅ ๆฐใงใใ?" (Genki desu ka?) I stutter, trying to find the right words for the context of the situation.
"Ah! You don't have to use Japanese!" She waves her hand and smiles.
I sigh in relief. "Thank god. Okay. You good? Any bumps or bruises?"
"Oh, no! Himari just bumped into me! No problem." The girl waves her hands around, looking like she's trying to dust something off.
"Okay... just... watch yourself, hun." I let go of her after making sure she is stabilized. I turn back around and look for my schedule. I finally find it and look for my first period.
As I walk over to my homeroom, I enter and see an empty seat next to the girl who I caught. I cock an eyebrow and look around for a different seat. Of course, she just happens to see me.
"Hey! Come here!" She waves me down. I sigh and walk over.
As I walk over, another girl comes over and bumps into me. I shrug it off, but a voice cut through the peace that was my mind.
"Aren't you going to apologize?"
I whip around. It's another chick. "Got a pro- um..." I rack my brain for the equivalent of my question, but shrug and walk to the girl who waved me down. "You are seriously going to sit by Yachi?"
"Yeah, I am. Do you have a problem with it?" I turn around and stare who I assume to be Himari.
Himari freezes up, catching my eyes.
"I said, do you have a problem with that?"
"N-no." Himari scoffs, flouncing her hair and her posse follows after her.
"You-you didn't have to do that!" Yachi blanches white in the face, waving her hands around like a mad woman.
"Nah, no problem, hun. Besides...
Bullies were never my kinda thing." ______________________________________________________________
I now walk Yachi to class every day to make sure Himari doesn't push her around.
That doesn't mean I can be there all the time.
"I noticed Himari seems more... confident, nowadays." I raise an eyebrow at Yachi, seeing her face flush.
"Well... she knows my routine... she's also in the Photography Club." Yachi rubs her arms; her English way better than it was at the beginning of the year.
"That's what I thought." I frown, my nose flaring slightly. "I'm gonna beat a bitch..." I mutter, fire rising in my chest.
"Y/N! You can't do that! It's against the rules!" Yachi tugs at the cardigan tied around my waist.
"I know. Doesn't mean I can't wait for the perfect moment." An evil smile crosses my face with a laugh taking over my body.
"Y/N! Calm down! You're going to attract attention!" Yachi grabs at my short sleeve this time.
"Everything will be okay, hun. I've got it under control." I smile at Yachi, trying to keep her spirits up.
"O-ok!" Yachi smiles, walking to homeroom now.
---------- After homeroom, during a break -------------
"Hey, Himari! I need some help with something!" I call for the bitch while Yachi is looking at another club or something.
The girl smirks and walks over, sitting on the desk.
"Hey, new girl. What do you need help with?" Himari smirks, flicking her hair again.
I smile all nice and pretty and lean close to her, like I'm going to point something out to her. Instead... she's going to know not to pick on Yachi again.
"If you ever push Yachi around again, I will personally make sure to make whatever area we are in a WWE match that you will be guaranteed to lose... got it?" I smirk, waiting for her response. I can feel her cold sweats radiating from her neck as I smile behind the big textbook.
"Whatever, new girl." Himari tries to leave, but my hand clamps on her shoulder.
"My name is Y/N... and you should do good to remember it." I smile all pretty to really send the message home.
Himari scoffs and walks off in perfect timing with Yachi coming inside.
"Hey, Y/N! I found another club! It's for the boys volleyball team. I'm going to be like a... 'mini-manager', as you would call it."
"Sounds perfect for you, Yachi. Are you sure about this?" I know she gets nervous around new people.
"Su-sure! I met their 'main manager', Kiyoko. She seems nice." Yachi smiles and gets more comfortable talking about the club.
"Okay. But I'm coming with you. No one is allowed to mess with you."
"O-okay!" Yachi stammers, getting into her seat for our class.
______________________________________________________________
"Hey, guys. I remember you talking about how the team would need a new manager, so... Meet your new manager." Kiyoko introduces Yachi.
I stand off to the side, ready to throw hands if need be.
"YOU'RE SO CUTE!!!" Two boys jump at Yachi, and Kiyoko and I hold them back.
"Hands off!" I shout at the two loud boys.
"Huh?" They look up at me. I cross my arms and stand protectively in front of Yachi.
"You're pretty too!" My eye twitches. 'Did those two idiots think I was jealous of Yachi?'
"Not what I was here for, but okay." I shrug and take up my post beside Yachi again.
"You're the new American transfer, huh?" The tall blonde asked rhetorically.
"The one and only, beanpole." I stay indifferent. This is no different than American schools.
Minus the fact that there is less school shootings and fist fights...
So a little boring, but it's fine.
"So why do you use Japanese, if pretty much everyone knows English?" A little carrot sprout asks me.
I smirk and look him up and down. "Because people get weirded out if you don't know their culture or language, sweetheart. Especially when it's only one person in a school of hundreds."
"Well, everyone has noticed how Blondie here has a bodyguard after a few run-ins with Himari. That's you then." Tsukishima attempts to get under my skin.
"What can I say?
Bullies were never my kind of thing."
_____________________________________________________________
I noticed how Yachi is being a recluse again, a tell-tale sign of Himari bullying her again.
I sigh and continue trudging on. I'm just kinda hoping that Yachi stands up for herself now.
As we go into homeroom, Himari shoulder-checks Yachi as she walks to her seat.
I sigh and shoulder-check Himari back, giving her a tired look and shaking my head. "Don't start that shit today, Himari. I'm too tired for this crap."
Himari just giggles and sits down. I sigh and roll my shoulders, sitting down. I pull out my materials for class and do the work.
--------- After classes, now lunch time ----------
"Hey, Yachi? I'm gonna go get some lunch. Be right back." I wink and send her a finger gun.
I walk to a vending machine and grab a drink for my lunch.
"Hey! Y/N-san!" Hinata shouted in the halls, running at me.
"Ahhhh!" I wait for impact of a short carrot sprout, but none comes. I let out a breath of relief.
"What do you need, Carrot?" I ask Hinata, walking back to my classroom.
"I need help with tutoring, and I know you and Yachi share a class, so I was hoping you could help me?" Hinata asks me.
"Um... Why don't you ask Tsukishima? He's a pretty smart guy too." I shrug and walk on.
"Tsukishima is rude, and while his methods of studying works... Hinata can't handle the pressure." Kageyama joins us as we pass a milk vending machine.
I shrug, "Makes sense. Mine's not any better. I just use a different method, but sure. Whatever you guys want."
"Awesome!" Hinata jumps in the air.
"So I need help with math and English class. I'm pretty sure Kageyama needs help with everything-" Hinata is quieted by Kageyama who is slapping the back of his head.
"Boke, Hinata, BOKE! I don't need help with anything!" Kageyama pouts and shakes his fist angrily.
"But didn't you fail your English test? And your formal Japanese tests? And your..." Hinata's words are drowned out by the scene that plays out in front of me.
Himari is laughing... and pouring milk on Yachi's lap.
Instantly, my body locks up, all of my muscles tensing. I don't even hear my bag dropping.
"Um... Y/N-san?" Hinata's voice sounds as if it's far away.
"I'll be right back, Hinata." I say as I walk over to Himari, putting my hair up, eyes wide and tunnel vision on Himari.
"Oh no..." Kageyama says as Tsukishima passes the classroom with Yamaguchi.
"What are you saying 'oh no' for King? Did someone steal your milk?-" Tsukishima is cut off seeing Y/N tap Himari's shoulder. He immediately pulls out his phone and starts recording.
Himari turns around and is immediately met with a fist to the face. Himari falls to the ground, her hair whipping around and almost catching on Y/N. Y/N grabs Himari before she can fall and lands another five-fingered punch, letting her fall this time.
"Come on, bitch! I know you can understand me because you reacted when I talked in English!" Y/N lands a hit on Himari's stomach, causing the bully to keel over.
"I thought you said you were the baddest bitch in the school! Or did I hear wrong?!" Y/N hits Himari with a right-handed uppercut followed by a left-handed punch directly on her cheek.
By then, Himari is so pissed. All of her friends back off and cringe.
"You'll pay... you illiterate American cunt." Himari quietly talks, throwing a weak-ass punch.
Y/N blocks the feeble punch, not even bothering to hit again. "I serve cunt, you repugnant skid mark."
Y/N, after not having anything fun to do around the school, finally grins. She has been waiting for this moment.
The moment her rage can be unleashed.
She held nothing back. She hit left and right, left and right, left and right... again and again... and again.
Himari was helpless against the rage of an American teen.
As Himari lays helplessly at Y/N's feet.
"So who's next?" Y/N looks around the classroom, a dark grin appearing on her face. Nobody dares to face her.
Y/N takes a deep breath, "Come on, Yachi. Lets get you cleaned up." Y/N leads Yachi out of the classroom.
"I want that footage, Tsukishima!" Y/N shouts at the tall boy.
The other boys just walk out of the classroom, scarred.
"I'm gonna tell Tanaka-senpai." Hinata bolts down the hall, going to his own class.
Kageyama goes to his classroom, knowing he will probably hear about it later at volleyball practice.
Yamaguchi and Tsukishima go to their respective classes, knowing they will see Y/N there later.
"Y/N-san! Why would you do that?! You're gonna get in trouble!" Yachi exclaims from her side of the bathroom.
Y/N sighs, expecting this. "What can I say, sweetheart?
Bullies were never my kinda thing."

Author's Cup of Tea:
Teehee *loudly slurps tea*
Tell me what y'all think. It's my first time writing in the Haikyu!! universe. Should I do it again? Should I do the same prompt in a different universe?
See you later, caffies~
Also, i am hyperaware that even tho i am a native speaking English-woman, my english is actual garbage. Any CONSTRUCTIVE criticism is greatly appreciated. Thank you ๐ค
they find out you play the drums
prompt:ย โyou invite them out to a new bar that recently opened, stating the band there was really good, but the last thing they expected was seeing you on stage.โ
includes: tobio kageyama, kozume kenma, tetsuro kuroo
warnings: none except occasional swearing!
a/n: AYE my first headcannons :D i came up with this idea listening to paramore lmao i just need to get it out of my system, enjoy!
tobio kageyama
when you came up to him and begged him to visit the new bar, he didnโt even think about denying you
simply because 1. your face was too cute and 2. you havenT BEEN SPENDING ENOUGH TIME WITH HIM; HE MISSES YOU >:(
so you two went together the following friday
you were vibrating in excitement already,, it was so hard not telling him but you wanted to see his raw reactionย
you two made yourselves comfortable, ordering drinks before you excused yourself
โI have to use the restroom, Iโll be right back, kagsโ you said, pecking his nose, which obviously made him scoff but he nodded
when the band was announced, you were still not back and he was kind of upset but also kind of worried because??
did you ditch him??
did someone kidnap you??
but he didnโt have enough time to ponder over it because the music soon started
and there you were.
sat behind the drums.ย
his eyes nearly popped out of his sockets at the sight. you looked so fucking badass.ย
he didnโt pay attention to the bassist or singer
his eyes were trained on you the entire time, every hit against the drums resonating through his ears
as if that wasnโt hot enough, you shouldโve seen his face when you took over, playing louder than the singer and bassist, all of the attention now on you
he couldnโt help but scoff at the amount of men eye-fucking youย
after the little concert was over he immediately walked over to you
โhow could you hide that masterpiece from me?!โ
kozume kenma
now for this baby, it was a bit harder to get him out of the confinement that was his four walls
after literal WEEKS of persuading him, you still couldnโt convince him LMAOย
you made kuroo drag him to the bar.ย
so there he sat, waiting to be finally able to go home to get to his precious handheld console again
kenma does NOT like loud sounds or places with many people overall, so it only added to his horror as soon as your band was announced
as soon as the lights went off and the stage lighting turned on, he looked in that directionย
you were sat in the middle, behind some drums, dressed in all black attireย
his eyes widened and his jaw dropped, kuroo having to push his mouth back shutย
he watched you perform in awe
he found himself actually enjoying it, especially when it was your turn to steal the spotlight with your skills
after the performance he patiently waited for you to approach him, finally doing so after signing a few autographs
โif you told me, i wouldโve agreed to come earlier..โย
tetsuro kuroo
kuroo was actually the one to ask you to go to the new bar
the universe was working in your favour lmaoย
almost as soon as you arrived at the bar you excuse yourself, leaving a confused boyfriend behindย
confused boyfriend! turned into hypeman! boyfriend as soon as he saw you on the stageย
โTHATโS MY PARTNER RIGHT THERE!โ
โdonโt look at them like that, theyโre mine!โ
โMY BABY IS SO TALENTED!โ
well he definitely wasnโt embarassed to show you off
seeing you up there, dancing along to the music as you played looking so, so cool, just made his heart swell and his cheers got louder
at some point he got the whole bar to cheer for you too
he couldnโt help it!! you just looked so happy when you heard the cheers!
you bet your ass he will come to every single performance from now onย
after you were done he calmly escorted you away from the piles of people wanting you to sign something for themย
โdidnโt know you had it in you, baby!โ
he kissed you to show everyone who you belonged toย
a/n: i feel like ive let ya down with this one, oh well! plsplspls send requests!! i need to get around to making a navi/about me these days.

This was a quick doodle for a discord friend but I feel like I had to share it with all the Kageyama simps, stans, and kinnies out there. For YOU? I offer sleepy Kags. Enjoy.
The Future Belongs To Those Who Believe In The Beauty Of Their Dreams

Espero que lo disfruten tanto como yo~โฅ

kageyama x f!reader
may contain spoilers!
EDIT: HIIII SO UH THERES A โpilot ~revised~โ ON MY PAGE SO I RECCOMENTD READING THAT ONE CUZ IT HAS MORE CONTENT ๐๐ฝ
Hereโs the link:
description: In which Y/n is a new addition to Karasunoโs Girlโs Volleyball Clubย
THIS IS REALLY JUST LIKE...A TEST RUN..FOR THIS STORY CUZ I DONT THINK IM THAT GREAT AT WRITING and i feel like people wont really like it. so....yeah.
a/n: ok so, Iโve been thinking of this concept so much lately. It started off as just as a nice story to play in my head, but I really wanted to see if I could write it down. So, I felt like I havenโt really seen a lot of imagines or content on the girlโs volleyball club and I felt like it would be cool to explore that side.ย First things first, I am raised in California. Thus, I am quite incompetent in knowledge about Japan schooling. All my knowledge is really from me googling stuff and ofc, watching haikyuu. With that said, if I made a mistake on the take of Japan schooling, I do not mean to cause any offense. This is solely for entertainment purposes. With that said, I do not own the characters of haikyuu. However, there are some characters I made up with my own imagination. In addition, this is an โx readerโ sort of story but I will be defining some of her characteristics so I am sorry if it hinders you from imagining its you. Finally, I am not that good at writing stories lol but im trying. I hope you enjoy.
I hate introductions. Y/n thought to herself as she sat back down in her seat after standing in front of the class, stating her name and her previous school. Her gaze shifted towards the window. The sun was out and shining and she had the perfect view of the gymnasium. Oh how she just wanted to get up from her uncomfy chair and leave the boring lecture and head towards the gym.ย
It was the first day of school for Y/n at Karasuno High. Itโs not like she started in the middle of the semester, no, she was just about a month late into the school year. With her work ethic, she didnโt feel any pressure in order to catch up with everyone else. She knew she would get it done.
Itโs not really her fault she came a bit late into the school year either. Her dadโs job required a small move, not that she was complaining. She didnโt really feel tied down at her old high school because: she wasnโt there for that long and she didnโt really make any friends, despite joining a sport.ย
Itโs not that she didnโt want to make friends. It seems that her track record, or the lack thereof, from junior high with meeting new people has left an imprint on her.
Y/n looks down at the worksheet that was passed out in the beginning of class. The assignment was already completed due to Y/nโs eagerness to finish any homework that would take away time from her main passion.
Some people would say she was obsessed. Some would say dedicated. She simply sees volleyball as an opportunity. The class bell rings, signaling for lunch. Before she realizes it, she is walking towards the gym, in which she would meet the girlโs volleyball captain. As she is switching shoes, she can hear screaming from inside.ย
โ-What did I tell you about touching my onigiri! You are going to pay for that!โ โI really didnโt mean it this time, I promise! I didnโt know it was yours!โ The voices were muffled, yet she was still able to hear the sincerity in both of the voices. Y/n was about to open the gymnasiumโs door when the door swung open by a tall pink-haired girl. She was being chased by another tall girl with long blonde hair, but she was a bit shorter than the pink one. Before Y/n could process stepping aside because it seemed the pink-haired girl had no inclination in stopping, she was tumbled to the ground by the girl who she can only guess took an onigiri without permission. As well, the blonde clumsily tripped and fell on top of the two.
โYou idiots! Will you stop it! We already told you, we got a guest coming today and we want to make a good first impression!โ A stern voice called out inside the gym.
โUm, Moa-san, I think our wishes are already soiled.โ Another voice chimed in from the gym.
โWha- You dumbasses! Hey, are you okay?โ A girl with dirty blonde hair came out from the entrance and offered a hand towards Y/n as the two perpetrators started to get up with apologies towards Y/n.ย
โYeah, I am good.โ Despite just being tackled to the ground, Y/n remains as neutral as ever.ย
โArenโt you going to ask if we are okay?โ The energetic, pink haired spoke.
โAs if I care when you collide into our guest! You really need to be more cautious, Etsuko!โ She barked. โI am Aihara Moa. Pleasure to meet you. Youโre the first year that turned that application past the deadline, right?โ she states more calmly than her previous statement.ย
โPleasure is all mine. And, yes. Sorry for the inconvenience.โ Y/n states with quite the unfazed face.ย
Does this kid crack a smile once in a while? Moa asked in her mind. She seems quite different than the other first years we have. Her thoughts continue.
โI am Oba Yuma and this is Morita Etsuko.โ Yuma, who had the pretty, long blonde hair, spoke with a warm smile.
โWhy did you introduce me?! I wanted to have a cool introduction!โ Etsuko huffed with a small pout.ย
โWell, itโs not like you can recover your so-called โcool introductionโ from that full-body collision.โ Yuma smoothly replied. Etsukoโs eyes widened and cheeks heated up as she couldnโt come up with a sly comeback to her logic.ย
โYou guys are just lucky that Rinko isnโt here to scold you.โ Moa warned the 2 first years. With the mention of the scary third year that wasnโt even the captain, yet she reigned supreme in the disciplinary department, they shivered at the thought of the punishment.ย
As Y/n stepped further into the big, bright court, she spotted that she could only assume was the captain as she looked so appalled at what happened.ย
โHello, you must be Michimiya Yui.โ Y/n knew she had to say something to pull the worried captain from her thoughts.ย
โHi! Yes, thatโs me! I am so sorry for those two. I would say they arenโt always like that, but I donโt want to lie to a potential teammate.โ Yui spoke with an uneasy smile.
Yuma and Etsukoโs interests peaked when they heard โa potential teammateโ come out of their captains' mouths. They were the only first years on the team, so the thought of another person in the same boat as them made them excited and wanted to join the conversation. The two first years gave each other a look and started to walk towards Yui and hopefully their new friend. However, before they could even be in ear-shot, the pair got pulled away by Sasaki Chizuru, another third year.
โOh, no. Donโt think you will be bombarding her with questions right off the bat.โ She bluntly states.
โOh, cโmon Sasaki, arenโt you curious about her? Like how did she get into volleyball? Or even, is she a beginner? Or maybe she is an absolute monster who dominates the court!โ Etsuko proclaimed as her mind went too fast for her mouth to follow.
โAs of right now, itโs not our business. All we can do, and are allowed to doโ, emphasizing the word โallowedโ, โis to watch from the sidelines and quietly eat our lunches.โ Chizuru instructed the first years and pointed at the far corner of the gym.ย
Despite her own words, Chizuru couldnโt help but glance at Y/n and wonder the same things that the first year questioned. At face value, Y/n was quite the enigma. The 2 first years gave a pout, but headed towards their desired location.
โSo, you came from Niiyama Girls' High? Thatโs a really good school for volleyball. What made you come to Karasuno?โ Yui asked.
โIt was the most ideal school in terms of my dadโs work location.โ Y/n states plainly. She didnโt technically lie. Well, it was an ideal school in terms to the proximity to her new apartment, but that was not the only reason. She saw videos of their interhigh-prelims last year and to be quite frank, Y/n was not entirely impressed with the state of their team. However, she knew that this meant there was room to grow for them. She knew very well that she could have gone to Shiratorizawa and joined their girlsโ volleyball club. Objectively, with her skill set, Shiratorizawa made sense. Nonetheless, Y/n didnโt know what compelled her to pick this one. She convinced herself it was because she is a sucker for rooting the underdog.ย
Does this kid show any emotion? Yui thought in her mind. Itโs like nothing affects her. Her thoughts continued.
โHow long have you been playing volleyball?โ Yui curiously asked.
โSince the 2nd grade.โ Y/n quickly states. As much as she wasnโt showing it, she was just itching to show what she can do. The court was right there in front of her, after all.
โThatโs impressive, alright, well if youโre comfortable with it, Iโd love to see some serves and sets from you. After school, we can hold a three on three since we all arenโt really in the right clothes to play.โย
โSounds good.โ To say Y/n was excited would be an understatement. As she removed her cream sweater, she could feel a set of eyes burning a hole on her back. She turned around to put her sweater down and realized that she was wrong. It wasnโt one pair of eyes, it was all of them, curious to see how good she really is. She could feel her heart pounding at the thought of holding everyoneโs attention. She knew if she let her mind continue, the nerves would get to her and hinder her performance. She took deep breaths and started to quietly humm a song that was previously playing on her phone from her morning ride to school.ย
Yui passed a volleyball to her and ran to the other side of the net, and yelled, โLetโs see what ya got!โ
Y/n carried herself behind the serve line, taking one deep breath to keep her hands from shaking. With that exhale, she opened her eyes and focused her sights on Yui. The captain wouldnโt admit it, but she could already feel herself sweating under the first yearโs gaze.ย ย
She looks so intimidating. Iโm not even on the court, yet Iโm scared. Yuma viewed Y/nโs determined look. For Y/n, it was as if everything crumbled away and the only thing remained was the court. She starts her run up.
A jump serve?! Yuma, Etsuko, and Chizuru incredulously thought simultaneously with eyes basically bugging out of their head. They watch in amazement as she jumps with severe height and reeled her arm back. After that, all that could be sensed was a loud snap and then the ball smacked the ground next to the wide-eyed captain. The impact from the ball gave a small breeze through Yuiโs short hair. The deafening silence that followed her serve filled the room in an instant. Those watching from the sidelines had to pick up their jaws from the floor.
โSheโs a first year?! Are you sure?!โ Etsuko broke the silence with her curiosity getting the best of her.ย
โBoke Etsuko! That was already clarified, donโt make her repeat herself!โ Yuma scolded. While Yui read your capabilities on your application form, it was nothing like actually being on the receiving end in real time.ย
โThatโs quite a serve she got in her arsenal.โ A voice startled the three high school students, sitting on the sidelines. Etsuko and Yuma were the most startled, but Chizuru was quite used to her fellow classmates popping in every now and then.
โSeriously, Sudou. We have to put a bell on you or something because I donโt think my heart can take any of your surprise entrances.โ Sudou Rinko only slyly chuckles at Etsuko remark. She looks over at Y/n and Yui on the court.
โDid you guys see the precision on that serve?โ Rinko posed to the other three sitting on the ground, munching on their lunch.
โWell, not really, but it landed, like, near Michimiya, right?โ Etsuko tries to come up with the answer that Rinko was looking for.ย
โIt landed right next to her left foot. I think that pipsqueak is able to aim her serve.โ
โWhat?! Thatโs insane.โ
โYeah, insane, but not impossible.โ
โWith her, maybe we can win more games!โ
โDonโt get your hopes up, Etsuko, a team is only good if everyone is giving their all.โ Yuma reminds. โAfter all, thereโs not only one person on the court, thereโs six.โ
โI heard she came from Niiyama Girls' Highโ Sudou stated as she reverted her gaze back to her fellow teammates. They stared at her after she gave more information on the stranger in their gym.ย
โWhy would she come to Karasuno then?โ Yuma asked honestly. She knew that her team had strengths, but she also knew that other teams had strengths that overpowered them.
โHow could you diss your own school like that?โ Etsuko was almost angry at how her teammate was treating their school. She always was the one to take pride in everything she does.ย
โNo, thatโs a valid question. It makes sense that a player with her caliber would be well-suited in a powerhouse school.โ Rinko supported Yuma in her question. All four look ahead and see that Y/n is beginning to set for Yui.
โHer precision and accuracy are so on point, it almost makes me sick.โ Yuma commented on how your form for setting only held the necessities. Y/n stepped with purpose, and it showed as she passed a nice set for Yui, allowing her to have optimal choices in where she can place her spike.

Friday July 25th
Ayano Shimizu awoke to an aching pain in her legs. She was instantly reminded of her harsh swimming practice the day before and sat up in bed.
Glancing around her room, she grabbed her phone from the nightstand and checked for any new messages. Yawning, she replied to Kiyoko's message.

Grabbing the nearest hair tie, she pulled her shoulder length hair into a ponytail. 6:30 am. Throwing away the last of the purple hair dye, she looked at herself in the mirror.
Seems like I did my ombre right this time, she thought to herself. Heading downstairs, she found her younger brother Toshiaki arguing with her older sister, Yuuka.
"Hey Ayano, can you get your sister?" Yuuka scoffed, "He's the one who ate all my candy." "No I didn't." Ayano grabbed the empty box from both of them, "I ate the rest of your candy. Are Mom and Dad already gone?" They nodded in unison and Ayano threw the box away.
She grabbed the eggs out of the fridge and began cracking two of them into a pan. "Hey Yuuka can you make lunch for us?" Yuuka nods and nudges Toshiaki to set the table up. Finishing the eggs, Ayano uses leftover kobachi to finish making breakfast.
"Thank you for the meal."
After eating, Ayana headed upstairs to finish getting dressed for the day. Sharing a room with her sister Yuuka, she rarely ever got to the hot water first.
While waiting for her sister to finish, she packed her backpack. Adding the new charm she purchased yesterday to the keychain attached to her bag, she heard the shower turn off. Ayano grabbed her towel and uniform and raced to the bathroom they shared together.
After enjoying her shower, she glanced at the clock once more. 7:30. She really needed to hurry. Grabbing her house keys from her nightstand and stuffing her phone into her purse, she headed downstairs without saying goodbye to her siblings. Despite this, they were right on her heels, trying to catch the train with her.
They all made it on time of course. Exhausted and sticky from the July heat, they each took a seat on the empty train.
This was a daily occurrence to them ever since Toshiaki went to middle school. Getting closer to the school, the train filled up causing them to have to give up their seats. Reaching their stop, they still had five blocks to walk.
This was usually when the three split up into their own friend groups. Toshiaki went with his friends from the baseball team and Yuuka went with her friends from the choir club. Ayano however usually walked with Kiyoko.
Sure the boys following her was a bit obnoxious, but she was glad that the seniors didn't hit on her when she was walking with Kiyoko.
The walk was usually silent except for a greeting or two. Ayano and Kiyoko were different that way. Ayano could talk to anyone, while Kiyoko preferred the quiet. "You guys have the prelims soon right? Is that what you call them?" "Yep, if we make it we have to go against some powerhouse schools." "I know you guys will do great." Ayano gives Kiyoko a smile as they enter the school.
Ayano waves as they get separated into their different hallways. Spotting her friends, Ayano pulled them both into a hug by their lockers. "Any reason why today is different from any other day?" Kazuo, the older twin, asks.
His usually ear length black hair was cut short today. "I like the new haircut, Kazuo. "At least someone appreciates it," he says over exaggerating the someone in his sentence.
"Hey it's not my fault I don't think you'll pull girls with that cut," Saori replies. Saori's usual pink pigtails were nowhere to be found and an elegant ponytail replaced them.
"I wouldn't be talking if my roots were growing out," Ayano teased. Kazuo tried to hide his laughter which earned him a slap from Saori. The three headed up the stairs to the second year hallway.
Nishinoya spots Kazuo instantly and they do their handshake. Tanaka isn't far behind joining in with them.
Kazuo gives a small wave as he joins the boys to wherever they spent their time before class. Saori laughed a bit, "He really likes them doesn't he?" "You sound like his mom. C'mon we're going to be late."
Saori and Ayano were in class 2-4 while the boys were in class 2-3. They sat near the window where they could easily pass notes back and forth.
Saori sat in front of her in the third seat, and Ayano in the fourth. Today however, the desks were pushed together into groups of four implying group work was happening.
Miyu Kimura and Kazuki Okazaki were already seated and sharing snacks with each other. Ayano sat next to Kimura and Saori sat next to Okazaki.
Saori knew Ayano was unaware of her growing crush on Kimura and Okazaki and she wanted to keep it that way. Kimura's long blonde curls were always tied up in a bun and Okazaki's dark blue hair was long overdue for a haircut. Today he had his hair pulled back in a bun with fly away strands here and there.
Ayano started chatting away from club activities to meeting Tanaka later. Saori didn't understand why it was so easy for her to talk about anything with people.
A part of her was jealous and a part of her admired her. Their homeroom teacher walked in, signaling the beginning of class.
After attendance was taken, they began with math. The group work in math required poster boards to be made which put Ayano and Okazaki in charge of design.
Ayano and Saori switched seats so Saori and Kimura sat next to each other to work on the math problems.
"Thanks again for helping with the posters, Shimizu," Okazaki gave Ayano a smile. "It's no problem really. You can call me by my first name Okazaki. You know what would be fun? If we all dyed our hair together. Me, you, Saori, and Kimura." "This Saturday?" "If I leave practice early."
Saori hummed as she did the problems Kimura assigned her to do. She couldn't help but admire Kimura's neat handwriting and the little doodles she did on the side. Catching herself staring, she adjusted her glasses and continued writing. "Hey Saori, your coming right?" Kimura asked her. Okazaki and Ayano looked at her with excitement.
"Going where exactly?" "To dye our hair Saturday. I just did mine so I'll help you guys," Ayano replied barely containing her excitement. "Yeah who's house we going to?" "Mine since no one will be home. We can order food and stuff," Okazaki interrupts, pushing Ayano out the way. Saori couldn't say no to their smiling faces and gave in.
They verbally cheered and went back to designing the poster board.
"Heya Tanaka." Ayano sat next to Tanaka at the lunch table outside. "Heya Ayano. I can't wait for you to see me at practice." Saori sat across from the two with Okazaki on her right and Kimura on her left. "I can't wait either. Wanna hang out Sunday?" Tanaka nods eagerly," Where to?" "The arcade of course! I heard it's cheaper on Sunday." Nishinoya and Kazuo sat next to Tanaka with their lunch.
"Hey guys what're you talking about?" Nishinoya asks. "Just two lovebirds," Kimura replied nodding towards Ayano and Tanaka. "Hey we are not lovebirds, just two friends talking," Ayano argued. Saori gave her a look indicating she knew about her feelings for Tanaka.
"Well guess who I saw guys? Kiyoko! And she had a purple strand in her hair!" "Really? I bet she looks sooo pretty."
Hearing Tanaka talk about how pretty he found Kiyoko was a daily occurrence. It annoyed Ayano, considering her and Kiyoko had similar features. Today made her even angrier because her hair was already a purple ombre and Kiyoko just had a purple strand. Is she really that pretty? Ayano asked herself.
She stayed silent for the remainder of lunch, not wanting to contribute in the conversation anymore. She didn't hate Kiyoko, she just wished people didn't choose Kiyoko over herself.

"Did you see that Ayano?" Ayano nodded, "That spike was soo cool. I know you'll do great in your game!" Kiyoko tried to hide her smile, "You guys make quite the cute couple. Where's Saori and her brother?" Ayano shrugged, "Probably at home arguing over who ate all the cereal." Ayano grabbed her backpack as their coach blew the whistle, signaling the end of practice.
Ayano stayed behind to help Kiyoko lock up. This resulted in her hearing Nishinoya and Tanaka drone on and on about how they were going to protect her at night.
Toshiaki came to save her however, since he was coming from baseball practice. "Hey Tanaka, hey Noya, what're you guys up to?" "Nothing much, just protecting our queen Kiyoko," Nishinoya responded with a proud smile.
Tanaka nodded in agreement. Toshiaki was well aware of Ayano's growing feelings for Tanaka and a part of him felt bad. He knew what it was like to be the second choice, and he didn't want his older sister having a similar experience.
"You guys want to walk home together?" Toshiaki decided on asking the other four, thinking it would result in a fun conversation. They agreed and headed towards Kiyoko's house first, considering it was the closet.
The five of them talked about their weekend plans and the upcoming games they all had. Toshiaki had a baseball game on Saturday so he would spend his time after lunch on the bus to Tokyo.
Tanaka and Nishinoya had the preliminaries next week, and Ayano had a swim meet Sunday before going to the arcade. She wasn't too overhyped for it, but she was pretty excited. If they won, they would get to go to nationals automatically.
Well that was if they got first place. If they didn't, second to ninth place have to compete in another preliminaries that was even bigger than the one they were going to. Ayano wasn't worried however, considering she currently held the record in their prefecture for having the fastest butterfly. Their team was even considered one of the top five youth teams in Japan.
After saying their goodbyes to Kiyoko, the others headed towards the train station. Nishinoya's house was right across the street from it so it would just be Ayano, Tanaka, and Toshiaki on the train. Ayano swiped her student id to get to the subway before entering and taking a seat. It was pretty empty except for other students who also appeared to be in sports.
"So are both of you coming to the game next week? You can ride on the bus with us." Toshiaki shrugged, "I'm not sure if I can miss Monday practice though. If there's anything Tuesday I can make it."
"And what about you Ayano?" "Yeah I'll ride with you guys if you want me to. Is it cool if I bring Saori and Kazuo?" "Sure if there's room on the bus." Tanaka waved as he exited the train, leaving Ayano and Toshiaki to head home together.
"You think Yuuka is home?" Toshiaki pointed in the driveway, "If Mom and Dad are home then Yuuka definitely is. Choir is over like an entire hour before sports are."
Before either of them could unlock the door, Yuuka opened it. "What took you guys so long?" Ayano shrugged and let Toshiaki answer, "Maybe because baseball is time consuming. Your totally coming to my game tomorrow right?"
"I don't know should I support my little brother?" She pulled both of them into a hug and shut the door behind them. "I'll be there. Such a shame Ayano can't go though." "I'm glad you have something to do on Sunday. I don't need your encouragement."
Toshiaki pried himself out of Yuuka's arms, "What do you mean? Her encouragements the best." "You don't exactly yell Go Ayano! at a swim meet." "I understand your point, but your foods getting cold," Yuuka pointed into the kitchen. Their parents were already cleaning up which meant they had taken way too long.
Ayano sat down and rushed to finish her food. She still had to do her homework and exams to study for.
Next week was exam week and the last week before summer break. She wanted to at least pass so she wouldn't be grounded. Ayano quickly changed into a sports bra and sweats and sat cross legged in her chair.
Friday and Saturday were when exams were held, and club activities were cancelled next week. Ayano checked her calendar and made sure to add in the change of events. She was excited for summer since she would have more time to see her friends and maybe ask Tanaka on a date.
Sighing, she put in her noise cancelling headphones and began her homework.

Saturday July 26th
"Great job, Ayano! Your time increased by 1.5 seconds." The girls swim team captain, Yuki Saito, congratulated her as she got out of the pool. "Thanks, but it's nothing too special. I've been trying to study more." "Studying is way more important. Remember we don't have to get first place." "I'm mainly worried about the relay. See you tomorrow, Yuki."
Ayano left Yuki and the others to lock up and headed towards Okazaki's house. She hoped she hadn't taken too long. Seeing as it was only six pm, she hurried to his house.
It was only a five minute walk and she stopped to get some snacks on the way. As soon as she knocked, Kimura answered the door with dripping wet hair. She ushered Ayano inside to the upstairs bathroom where Okazaki was desperately trying to do Saori's roots.
"Hey guys. Can I put the food in your room?" Okazaki nodded not taking his eyes off her head. Kimura stayed in the bathroom with the two and Ayano headed to his bedroom.
Having been to his house multiple times, she easily found his bedroom. He had even more band posters on the left side of his wall near his bed. Next to his bed was a shelf full of albums and below it was a mirror. On the right side, he had his desk and an ungodly amount of plants.
Ayano set her swim bag and backpack where everyone had set their stuff and set the food down on his desk. She joined the others in the bathroom were they were currently trying to dry Kimura's hair. Ayano chose to film the whole scenario and post it on her story.
After Kimura's hair was dry, she went back into the bedroom to pick a movie. "If we dry your hair faster, it will probably be a pastel pink instead of just pink," Ayano suggested.
"Are you sure that will work?" Okazaki looked skeptical. "It'll be some shade of pink and that's good enough for me. I just want to watch the movie." The other two shrugged and began drying her hair. "I have an idea, let me find some scissors." Saori ran off downstairs, her footsteps could be heard throughout the entire house.
Coming back out of breath, she handed the scissors to Ayano, "Put Okazaki's hair in a ponytail, but a really like small one. Then we can cut off the remaining hair. Or maybe put it in a bun." "Wouldn't it be uneven?" Okazaki questioned her.
Saori shook her head, "I can shape it up, I think. I watched my dad cut people's hair before." Ayano hesitantly took the scissors and removed the hair tie from her hair and tied up Okazaki's into a half bun half ponytail.
Saori gave her a thumbs up and Ayano began cutting. Once she was finished, she handed the scissors to Saori who began to shape it up. Ayano joined Kimura in the bedroom who surprisingly didn't have her hair in a bun. Ayano sat next to her and grabbed a bag of chips from the bag.
"What movie did you have in mind," Ayano asked the younger girl. "I don't know maybe a horror movie or something? I am pretty tired." "I guess everyones like that since we've been busting our ass over exams. It'll be over soon though and then-" Saori cut her off when she entered the room, "Summer break here we come! Introducing the new and improved, Kazuki Okazaki!" Saori sat down and Okazaki entered behind her striking poses.
His hair was no longer past his shoulder, but barely reached his shoulder. While he turned around, Ayano noticed his bangs hadn't been trimmed, but the back of his hair had. "And what do we call this style again?" Kimura asked, clearly not liking it. "Its called a wolf cut. Usually girls get it, but I tried it on Okazaki." "Yeah Kimura a wolf cut. Doesn't it look nice?" "I think you look like a werewolf." Okazaki threw a pillow at Kimura to muffle her voice.
"Ayano what do you think of it?" "It's unique I guess. You'll get every wolf in school for sure." "Alright I see you guys don't like it, but to me it looks great. Now what movie are we watching?" Saori joined Okazaki on his bed and grabbed one of his blankets. She laid on her tummy far away from him. "This escape room movie. It's about an escape room, but deadly." "Ooh I am so scared Saori. What's going to happen? We can't unlock the door?" Okazaki teased.
"This actually looks pretty scary," Kimura pointed out looking at the trailer. So the four of them agreed to watch the movie. They were all fast asleep before it could end however, and all you heard were the snores of four teenagers full of serotonin with colored hair.

Sunday July 27th
"Ayano you can't be late for your date." "Saori my swim meet literally ended five minutes ago and how did you get back here?" "Well Tanaka was asking for you. Plus, your captain let me in. Now put your clothes on and go talk to your boyfriend."
"We're not dating, Saori." "Yet." "I'll see you in like five minutes." Saori nods and leaves. Ayano looks through the pile of bags to find hers and slips off to the restroom to change. She changed grey crop top and black shorts. Her favorite grey and white jacket complimented the look as she laced her sneakers and put her swim suit in a plastic bag before putting it in her swim bag.
Waving to her team, she set out to find her friends. Saori, Tanaka, Kazuo, and Toshiaki were waiting for her in front of the main doors. "Hey Ms. Nationals," Toshiaki teased as Ayano came up to them. "I'm just glad we even placed," Ayano replied slinging her bag over her shoulder.
"Of course you placed. You guys are the best in the whole prefecture," Tanaka said. Ayano felt her heart skip a beat at his compliment as the four of them headed to the train station

The others got off at the stop closest to Ayano's house, but Ayano and Tanaka remained on the train. "I'm glad you agreed to go with me," Ayano told Tanaka as she grabbed his hand. "Why wouldn't I go with you? Arcades are super fun."
Tanaka took Ayano's hand into his as they exited the train. They stopped at a convenience store right outside the train station before heading to the arcade.
Tanaka insisted they get slushies since they were cheap at this particular store. Ayano had no room to argue since he was paying for hers as well.
Since it was Sunday, the arcade was pretty crowded. Tanaka kept Ayano close to him as he maneuvered through the crowd to purchase a game card.
"Hey Tanaka let's do that first." Tanaka turned to look at what Ayano was so excited about and it was a mario kart game.
"Totally, how many credits should I put on the card?" "Maybe 80, but c'mon before someone gets to the game first." Ayano grabbed Tanaka's arm and dragged him over to the game.
She excitedly swiped the card for the game and sat down. Tanaka sat beside her and swiped the card next. After selecting their cars, the game began.
Tanaka was surprised at how good Ayano was at the game. He hadn't taken the game seriously, but now he had to. He watched in horror as Ayano sped past him and reached the finish line first.
"Wow Tanaka. Who would've thought I'm better than you at mario kart." "I demand a rematch. There's no way you beat me." Ayano shrugged but agreed and swiped the card again.
This time, Tanaka paid more attention to the game and even managed to drive Ayano off the road. Passing the finish line, he got out of the chair, "See I am better at mario kart. Who's the loser now?"
"Tanaka your scaring the kids." Tanaka turned around to see two kids waiting behind him to get onto the game. He apologized and followed Ayano to a booth.
"Wanna do basketball next? I'll totally beat you in that too." Ayano gave him a mischievous smile, "You think your going to win? Alright let's play." Ayano followed Tanaka to the back of the arcade where the basketball game was.
Swiping the card, Tanaka selected the two player option. Ayano and Tanaka both attempted to throw the balls in the moving basket. In the end, both of them ended up with zero points.
"Told ya you wouldn't beat me." "You didn't even score so it doesn't count," Tanaka replied heading towards the skeet ball machine. "But you didn't score either." Tanaka swipes the card and is determined to beat Ayano.
Successfully, he managed to throw the ball into the highest scoring hole earning him nearly twice as many tickets as the racing game. "Hey no fair you totally cheated." "Looks like someone's just a sore loser," Tanaka teased.
"Am not, you can't use your volleyball skills in an arcade game." He sticks his tongue out in a teasing way, "I'm just the best wing spiker in the history of wing spikers."
"Hey wanna see if we have enough tickets for a toy?" Ayano asked tugging Tanaka's arm towards the little gift store. He let Ayano lead him to the store where an enthusiastic worker smiled widely at them.
"How about we get water guns?" Tanaka asked pointing to the matching blue and red water guns hanging up on the wall behind the counter. Ayano shrugged, "If we can't afford it, how about matching kirby plushies?"
Tanaka walked up to the woman at the register. Her blonde ponytail swung as she spoke, "What can I help you with today?"
"I wanna know how much those guns cost." Her ponytail swung aggressively as she turned around. "About 5,000 tickets." Tanaka sighed, "And what about the two kirby plushies?"
"Together they're about 3,000." "C'mon Tanaka we only have like 4'000 tickets. Plus, we can buy water guns for like five dollars at the convenience store."
"Fine, I'll take the two kirby plushies." The cashier rang him up as he spent the remaining tickets on various candy. An elated Ayano happily took her prize from the cashier.
Tanaka couldn't be annoyed when Ayano was happy. He thanked the cashier and took her hand in his. They half skipped half walked back to the train station.
"Thank you for all the fun I had today, Tanaka." Tanaka swiped his student id after Ayano, "I had a lot of fun too. Your still coming to my game tomorrow, right?"
Ayano shrugs, "Guess we'll have to wait and see." They both entered the train and took the nearest seats. Ayano hoped her mother wasn't too upset that she was coming back so late.
The train ride lasted fifteen minutes and Tanaka made sure to walk Ayano right up to her doorstep. "The bus leaves at 4 if your coming."
Tanaka planted a quick kiss on the top of Ayano's forehead. Ayano struggled to speak as her face slowly became the same shade as a ripe tomato, "Goodnight Tanaka."
"And don't forget to bring your friends," Tanaka called waving as he headed for his own house. The male tried to hide his very obvious blush as he walked home.
He was surprised Ayano was even going to his game. His phone lit up signaling he got a text. Wonder who it could be, he thought to himself.

Monday July 28th
Ayano payed close attention to the clock, waiting for it to strike three thirty. "Ayano at least try to hide the fact your excited." Ayano glanced up from her notebook to see Saori looking back at her.
"Sorry, just can't wait. Plus summer break is literally next week." Saori turned around fully in her chair, "We should totally go to this new roller rink in Tokyo the day after exams. I heard a lot of second years are going."
"So it'll be like a hangout? Could we invite Okazaki and Kimura then?" Saori shrugs, "If they want to come." "Miss. Saito please face the front."
Saori sighed then turned back around in her chair. Ayano checked the clock again. Thirty seconds until school was over for the day. She closed her notebook and slowly slid her pencils back into her pencil case.
"Alright class, remember exams are Friday and Saturday." Ayano quickly gathered her things and raced towards the gym. Saori ran after her, not bothering to say goodbye to Kimura and Okazaki first.
"Ayano, you know I'm not fit for all this running." "Shh Saori. They'll hear you." Saori followed Ayano inside the gym where a few of the third years were already gathered.
"Hey Ayano! Nice to see you could make it. Who's this?" "This is my best friend, Saori Saito. And Saori, this is the captain Daichi Sawamura."
Daichi extended his hand towards Saori. While they chatted, Ayano glanced around the gym. She didn't remember the other third years names since Tanaka never really introduced them to her.
"Well Tanaka isn't here yet. The bus leaves in about ten minutes though so your welcome to get on." "We should find your brother since he wanted to tag along." "He's probably at the baseball field. I'll go get him."
Ayano nods and sits in the bleachers. She was hoping she would be able to ask Tanaka on another date considering the last one went so well. Did this count as a date? She wasn't sure, but she hoped it did.
A tall blonde followed by a shorter boy with freckles were the next to come in the gym. They introduced themselves as Yamaguchi and Tsukishima before leaving for the bus.
Nishinoya, Tanaka, and Kazuo were right behind them followed by an annoyed Saori. "Ayano I found my old jersey so you could wear it to the game today."
Ayano took the jersey and wore it right over her shirt. She gave the others a twirl before sitting back down. "Has anyone seen Kageyama and Hinata?" Daichi asked the others. "I saw them on the bus on the way over here," Nishinoya replied.
Daichi nodded and grabbed his bag, "Coach said he would be on the bus." The other two third years followed Daichi and the five of you trailed after them. Ayano assumed Kiyoko and Yachi were already on the bus.
Ayano sat in the back with Saori since Saori didn't want to sit next to Kazuo. "How long is this game going to be exactly?" Ayano shrugged, "Probably a few hours. I looked up the place and they have this shopping plaza down the street."
"I don't want to watch musty boys run around for hours ya know." "Who knows maybe you'll find someone." Saori waved Ayano off, "Doubt it since I already found people I'm interested in."

Tuesday August 5th
"Hey Ayano your friends are here," Yuuka called from downstairs. Ayano yawned and checked herself out in the mirror. She wore a cropped white hello kitty shirt and pink shorts with matching pink and white shoes.
Her hello kitty purse was laying on her bed that she had spent the previous night looking for. "Tell them I'm coming down now." Ayano pulled two strands out of her buns and grabbed her purse.
Doing one last twirl in the mirror, she headed downstairs. Toshiaki was in the kitchen on the phone arguing with someone and Yuuka was at the front door with her head sticking out.
"Bye Yuuka, bye Toshiaki. Tell Mom I got milk last night." Toshiaki gives a thumbs up and Yuuka moves away from the door. "You never told us your sister was so pretty," was the first thing Kazuo told Ayano as soon as she closed her door.
"She looks prettier when she's actually trying. So where to today guys?" Ayano asked the other four. "There's this cool roller rink about an hour from here. I heard basically everyone is going there," Saori gushed.
"You seem pretty excited, any food down there?" Okazaki chuckled a bit. "I think there is I mean it is Tokyo after all." Kimura swiped her student id first before boarding the train.
Ayano was grateful for the air conditioning considering how hot it was outside. She noticed the man on the news talking about how it was a record in how hot it was. Kimura must have been thinking the same thing as Ayano.
"Is this indoors or outdoors? It is sooo fucking hot outside." "I think indoors. They also have go karts upstairs I think," Saori replied barely able to contain her excitement.
Ayano debated texting Tanaka, but decided not to. Plus, she had gotten his number from Kazuo, so it would have been a bit weird if she texted him. The train lurched to a stop and the majority of the passengers including Ayano and her friends got off.
There were about four block they had to walk to get to the entrance. Even though it was ten in the morning, the line to get in was already crowded. Kazuo and Okazaki sighed as they leaned against the wall.
"You didn't say there would be a line. Just how popular is this place?" Kazuo complained. "I don't know I just saw it in a chatroom. Chill out we'll get in there soon."
Saori was right and in ten minutes tops they were in. The line to get skates was relatively short, but Kimura and Kazuo insisted they do go karts first.
Ayano was hesitant, but followed them into the line. "Hey Saori isn't that Kiyoko?" "Huh?" Saori glanced for a second where Ayano was pointing. "Yeah I think it is, who's that guy she's with?" Ayano shook her head, "No idea, his hat is covering his face."
The line moved ahead and Kiyoko and the mystery boy were getting on. "Oooh we're next," Kazuo said in anticipation.
The boy took his hat off and all at once, the group's faces morphed into looks of shock and horror. "I'm um I'm going to be downstairs," Ayano managed to choke out before leaving the line.
Saori went to follow her, but Kazuo pulled her back. "Maybe she just needs some alone time. Let's find her after the ride, yeah?" Saori huffed but agreed with Kazuo and let Ayano go.
Ayano didn't know where she was running, but she couldn't stay there. Leaving the building, she sat down on the steps outside where people were already gathered.

"HEY AYANO WHERE ARE YOU?" Ayano heard Kazuo screaming and turned back towards the door. Saori was running with Kazuo on her heels.
Kimura and Okazaki were no where in sight so Ayano assumed they had already went home. "Why'd you run off like that?" Saori pestered her with question after question.
"I'm going to head home guys, see you tomorrow," Ayano began to say. "No way your going home. Kimura and Okazaki are getting us food then we can go to the park and talk," Kazuo attempted to convince her.
Ayano sighed but knew she had no room to argue. She waited on the steps for Kimura and Okazaki with Saori and Kazuo. They didn't take long and the park was ten minutes away.
While they walked, the four of them tried to distract Ayano and cheer her up. "Thanks guys, I appreciate it but I'm fine. Let's just sit down on a bench somewhere."
The others nodded in agreement and Kazuo ran ahead to find a bench at the playground.

"Ayano maybe they were just hanging out. They were probably going to Nishinoya's house or something?"
Saori tried to comfort Ayano. "Yeah, you know how they are," Kazuo added. "Exactly, they're obsessed with her. They basically worship her. I never stood a chance."
Kazuo looked dejected, but didn't push it any further. "Maybe Tanaka was asking Kiyoko for advice. Since you guys are related and all." "I doubt it."
Ayano slumped down on the park bench, "I just don't get it. Kiyoko and I have similar features, and she would never date either of them." "I'm not so sure about that..," Kazuo said, sitting down next to Ayano. "Did you hear something we didn't?"
Saori questioned her brother rather aggressively. "Some people in our class say that Tanaka may stand a chance with Kiyoko. They're probably just fucking around though."
"Its cool guys. You don't have to try to cheer me up. I've got to head to the club room to get some stuff really quick though." "Ayano school is like a twenty minute walk from here, plus it's summer vacation. I doubt the club rooms are open," Saori tried to talk Ayano into staying with them at the park. "The volleyball teams room was open. Plus Yuki has the key and she'll be there too."
Saori and Kazuo gave up and let Ayano go. Ayano wasn't surprised, just disappointed. She had stopped counting how many guys lost interest in her once they saw Kiyoko. It had happened a couple times to Yuuka as well since Kiyoko and Yuuka were in the same class. Yuuka now wore green contacts and dyed her hair brown to remove any resemblance to Kiyoko.
Taking a shortcut through the fruit market, Ayano wondered why that always happened. If they looked similar, how was Kiyoko prettier?
Finally making it to the school, she went around back to where the separate building where the sport's club rooms were. As she expected, the boys volleyball one was open and she could loudly here Tanaka's voice coming from it.
Luckily, their club room was on the first floor. Yuki was already standing outside it dressed in a hoodie and sweat pants. "Hey Yuki, did you come from the pool?" "I was heading to the community pool after you got your stuff."
Ayano nodded and Yuki unlocked the door. The club rooms didn't have the luxury of air conditioning so Ayano could imagine how hot Yuki must be.
Ayano quickly unlocked her locker and began cleaning it out and putting any spare change she found in her purse.
"Alright Yuki I think I'm done. Nationals are in a week right?" Yuki nods, "We should probably practice sometime this week if we plan on winning." "If we don't win, there's always next year. I heard a lot of middle schoolers in the area want to join the team."
Yuki followed after Ayano and locked the club room, "New recruits are great, but they need to be able to produce results. I'll see you later this week Ayano." Ayano waved as Yuki hurried to the community pool. She debated going to talk to Tanaka and decided on facing him herself.
Every step, her heart beats grew louder and louder in her head. Turning up to the stairs, she could see the door was open.
Tanaka was loudly talking to Kiyoko and Kiyoko's voice could barely be heard. Ayano knocked on the open door before fully stepping into their view. "Noya? Is that you?"
Ayano's hope was instantly knocked down as she heard Tanaka's voice. "It's Ayano. I was looking for Kiyoko is all."
Ayano walked into the club room to see Kiyoko sitting cross legged on the floor and Tanaka, shirtless, in his locker. "Hey Ayano, what did you need?" Ayano shifted uneasily seeing that her worst fear was already confirmed.
"Could we maybe talk? Well actually I need to talk to both of you." Kiyoko patted the floor next to her and Ayano sat next to her.
Tanaka sat down next to Kiyoko and was closer to Kiyoko than Ayano would have liked. "Kiyoko, it's not your fault. Its getting to be annoying now though." "What do you mean?" Kiyoko gave Ayano a puzzled look.
"This. First the guys Yuuka were into, all fell for you once they saw you. Now Yuuka changes how she looks entirely. Now it's happening to me. You don't do it on purpose, but it just feels bad knowing Yuuka and I will always be second choices unless we never introduce the people we like to you."
Kiyoko was about to speak when Tanaka spoke over her, "Well no one is prettier than Kiyoko so she deserves all the attention." Ayano felt her heart crumble when Tanaka said that. Ayano stood up, "Well clearly no one is prettier than her. No matter what I do you stupid fuckers choose her. When I first got here last year, both my crushes left me to chase her. But I guess you don't know how that feels Tanaka since your so fucking obsesed with her." "It's not like you stand a chance against Kiyoko. It's obvious who the prettier cousin is."
"I can't believe I liked you Tanaka. I thought you were different. Kiyoko and I are nothing alike. She wears glasses, I don't. My hair is purple, hers isn't. My eyes are brown, hers aren't."
"I only pretended to like you because you looked like Kiyoko." Ayano couldn't believe the words coming out of Tanaka's mouth. "I see how it is. I hope you two have a nice summer." Ayano closed the door behind her and began running. She didn't know where she was running to, but she knew she couldn't stay there. Ayano thought that it wouldn't happen again, but apparently it had.
She wasn't watching where she was going and almost ran into Nishinoya. "Sorry, I wasn't watching where I was going."
"Ayano why are you crying? You'll ruin your eyeliner." "It's nothing," Ayano tried to avoid finishing the conversation. "C'mon pretty girl, you can tell me."
"Tanaka is just dogshit. Him and Kiyoko can go to hell and be together forever there." Ayano continued walking, but Nishinoya followed her.
"It'll be okay. Tanaka isn't the only guy out there. I don't see how my best friend could hurt such a divine girl like you." "Since when did you learn big words, Noya?" "I'll catch you later, Ayano."
After finishing AFTG trilogy I'm convinced that Kevin, Tobio and Oliver are the same person in different universes
