"Gomen!" I apologize coming to the ground to see my hit go out of bounds.
The score was 15-7 with us in the lead but I was still messing up a few of my hits due to not warming up properly.
Staring at the other team I notice them snicker at my bad spike and barely hear them say 'why did they even start her if she wasn't warmed up?'
I let our a big sigh to their words putting my face in my hands as I rub my eyes trying to focus.
"Tweet!" Sounds in the gym and I turn to see that we called a time out.
Jogging over to the team who were huddled up I grab my water bottle taking a quick swig. I then hear my phone buzz from my bag and curiously grab it to see who it was.
Text From: Iwaizumi
Group Chat: Iwaizumi and Milk Bread Boy
How's the game going Naka-Chan?
Staring at the text a frown comes to my face not knowing on what to say.
ME: It's going alright. We're winning but I didn't get a chance to properly warm up so I haven't been doing so well. Pretty stressed right now :(
I look up from my phone to see Ito giving me a nasty look bringing shivers throughout my body.
I then hear a ding on my phone and look down to see a reply from Oikawa.
Milk Bread Boy: Aww Naka-Chan it'll sooner or later get better.
I was hoping for some words of encouragement but Oikawa only made it worse making me even more antsy. As I was about to put my phone back in my bag another 'ding' sounds on my phone.
Looking down at the text already defeated I suddenly feel a burst of energy as I read the message over and over again.
Text From: Iwaizumi
Don't be stressed there are 6 people on the court there to support you so just take a deep breath and you'll be fine.
My heart begins to swell as I read the motivating message from Iwaizumi as another message pops up from him.
Also don't listen to Shittykawa, like I said he's a crappy guy.
At this I begin to laugh as Oikawa instantly replies with the iconic "Iwa-chann."
A whistle then blares in the gym as the girls jog back on the court getting ready to receive the ball.
'Just take a deep breath Ren'
Jogging back to the court I do as told and wander my eyes around the court to see everyone giving a thumbs up bringing a smile to my face.
--
"Sato-Chan!" Sakura calls out as she receives the ball.
Taking it as my cue I begin to run up to the right side of the net as both Ito and I call for the ball. I watch as Hina tosses it in my direction and I hit the ball at full force with my left hand. The ball slams down on the court before their captain Yui could receive it bringing a big smile to my face.
"Nice kill Naka-Chan!" I hear my teammates cheer as they high five me for finally getting back in my groove. I smile at them in response as I move to the back court to serve.
I couldn't help but hear Ito mutter 'finally' as she was sending an annoyed look my way before looking to the other side. But her look didn't scare me this time because of the words Iwaizumi had said that stuck to my mind.
"There are six people on this court to support you"
His words stuck to my mind for the rest of the game as I was able to perfectly hit almost every toss directed towards me increasing the score difference.

The whistle struck throughout the gym once again as I was able to hit a line shot onto the opponents side of the court giving us the win after 2 sets.
We line up both teams bowing at each other for a good match.
Walking towards my gym bag I chug the rest of my water before placing it back in the bag zipping it up.
"You are amazing Nakamura-San," A voice says causing me to turn and come face to face with Yui.
I give her a warm smile in return. "Thanks Yui-San you did really good as well!"
Yui's face begins to redden as she smiles at my praise towards her. "Ahah it was nothing. When I saw your left hand spike I was shocked. I knew I recognized you from somewhere. You played on Nekoma last year didn't you."
My face begins to heat up at her question and I look down at the floor. "Uhh yea I did play there last year. Just moved to Seijoh this year." I look back up at Yui to see a slight frown on her face before turning it back into a wide smile.
"Ohh okay. You are really amazing though. I see ace material," She says to me and immediately says her goodbyes to myself and the team before I could respond to her statement.
I smile at her once again giving a wave back before turning around to see Ito glaring at me.
Oh she definitely heard that huh.
I let out a sigh as I grab my bag walking towards the change room not wanting to deal with the crazy-o.
I decide to stay in my sports attire since I didn't feel like changing into my regular clothes but let my brown hair flow down past my shoulders.
"Hey Ren are you coming?" Hina asks as the girls begin to board the bus.
"Oh no it's alright I have to go somewhere first then my mom will pick me up afterwards," I lie giving Hina a small smile.
She looks at me for a few seconds questioning my motives before returning the smile. "Oh alright then, get home safe!" She then turns towards the bus steeping in.
As the bus drives away I wave at the girls till I see it disappear in the distance.
Letting out a breath I didn't know I had in before I walk back into the school sneakily trying to get back to the girls gym.
I wanted to practice my serves for a bit before bussing home. I lied to Hina because I didn't want her to pester me about needing rest.
Walking down the halls of Karasuno the noise of balls hitting the floor sounds and out of curiosity I walk towards it.
Peeking through the gym doors I spot a group of boys practicing their serves and receives. Two of them caught my attention which were the raven haired boy and the orange haired boy who helped me before.
I watch as the raven haired boy does a perfect jump serve almost like Oikawa and it comes directly towards the little friend who instead of bumping it with his arms does so with his face.
I let out a snort as I watch the painful yet funny scene happen. Not being able to hold in my laughter I let out small giggles at both boys who begin to fight each other.
"Hey who's that?!" Someone yells out to which I bring my attention to the voice who was staring directly at me.
Oh no.
All boys as if on command avert their eyes to me causing me to step back from the door.
"Volleyball girl!" The oranges boys shouts as he sprints towards the door pushing it open at full force.
Not paying attention to the very fast boy I get hit slightly from the door causing myself to stumble back.
I let out a groan as I rub one of my hands to my forehead in pain for the second time today.
"Oi Baka Hinata!" His blue eyed boy friend shouts smacking the back of the now stunned boy.
I let out another small giggle at the two boys and their stupidness.
"Oh my she's just as angelic as Kiyoko-Senpai," Another boy swoons looking at me all wide eyed.
I avert my gaze to him in confusion to only see a familiar face behind him.
"Shimizu-Chan?" I say looking at the beautiful black haired girl behind him.
"Ren-Chan," She says back more surprised.
"Hehh?" The bald haired boy lets out looking back and forth between Kiyoko and I.
