today's practice was normal. everyone was doing their own warmups and such when takeda came running through the door. "everyone! everyone! i have a special announcement!", he shouted excitedly. everyone stopped what they were doing and hastily surrounded the teacher. "i may or may not have gotten us a practice match with seijoh", to this news, everyone grinned excitedly, before cheering. "the one condition, is that we need to have kageyama as our setter", he finished. why just tobio? you mentally shrugged off the thought, excited that they were having their first practice match of the year. hinata was especially excited.

today was the practice match. when i got to school early in the morning, i quickly made my way into the girls locker room to change into my track suit. shimizu was already in there. "morning kyoko!", you greeted her while opening your locker. "good morning f/n", she replied. it was a comfortable silence for a minute or two when she spoke. "f/n, i heard from daichi that hinata isn't his usual self, i think he's really nervous", you knit your eyebrows. "hm. you think i'd be a good idea to talk to him?", you asked. she shrugged slightly. "i'm not sure. when suga tried talking about it with him, he seemed to have only gotten more stressed out". you nodded in understandment.

you waited with shimizu on the ground, waiting for the boys. soon, hinata came down, and you didn't spare him a glance, continuing to talk to shimizu. but, whenever tanaka came out pantless screaming at hinata, you looked at hinata, who's pants were way to big for him. "HINATAAA THOSE ARE MY PANTS!", the ginger boy seemed traumatized. "I-I'M SORRY!". you couldn't help but feel bad for the boy. he said he's never done a practice game with another school before, which shocked you. when you did volleyball, your school did practice matches with tons of schools, but still you knew how he felt.

on the bus, you sat with your fellow manager, and kept taking glances at the boy.

"AGHHH NOOOO!", tanaka screamed, which startled you. you shot your head back at the sudden noice, to see a disgusted tanaka and flustered hinata. the first year threw up all over tanaka's pants.

you all finally arrived at seijoh. you were extremely excited to watch how much the teams improved. inside was a giant gym. "woaaah", some of the team members cooed. you yourself weren't that interested, since your old volleyball gym was at least this big. you, shimizu and takeda found a nearby bench. hinata was as nervous as ever, and tanaka almost managed to calm him down, but ultimately failed.

you walked down a hallway with a box full of water bottles. you were going to fill them up now, because they'd most likely be empty by the second or third set. turning a corner, you saw kageyama and a seijoh player who looked kind of like an onion, they sounded like the we're talking about something important and you didn't want to interrupt, so you hid behind the corner. you didn't want to eavesdrop but you sort of had no choice. "so king, you already have a new team to command?", "yeah". you have no idea what they were talking about, but almost laughed at kageyama's blunt response. king? tsukishima called him that once. what does that mean?

the first set had begun. aoba johsai had a big lead on karasuno. a big reason was because hinata was still freaking out. he'd spike balls that weren't for him, completely miss some spikes, etc. soon enough, it was his serve. aoba johsai was at set point, so if he didn't land a successful serve then seijoh would take the set. you watched intently, only for his serve to not only not make it over the net, but hit kageyama in the back of the head. you physically cringed. you were scared for the poor boy. it didn't take long for the whistle to blow, indicating the set was over. kageyama turned towards hinata, and slowly started walking closer to him, which hinata trying to back away, murmuring something inaudible, most likely many apologies. kageyama said something and started hitting the back of his head. you could tell he was PISSED. tanaka was about to go over and separate the two boys, but daichi stopped him. you watched as kageyama said one last thing, which made hinata completely relax. this seemed to relieve everyone.

the next set had way tighter scores. in fact, karasuno had taken the set! now you felt way more confident, but that didn't last long seeing kageyama's tense expression, which only worsened seeing a certain boy walk into the gym right before the final set started. a few girls from the watching area begun cheering for him, which only puzzled you. the said boy glanced at you, and WINKED! this made your eyebrows furrowed in distaste. seriously? he begun stretching, his coach murmuring something you of course didn't hear. "hey shimizu, who's that?", you asked, eyes still lingering on the boy. "that's oikawa tōru, a third year, and the team's genius setter", your eyes widened at the name. tōru!? that can't be him! "oh i see".

karasuno managed to take the last set, but only barely. oikawa had been subbed into the game when it was almost set point, which didn't make much sense. it was his serve, and to say it was an insane serve would be an understatement. it had the power of a literal spike!

you begun walking out of the gym with the boys and shimizu, when you were stopped by someone. turning around you see it was none other then oikawa. "uh.. hi", you greeted. he smirked, "am i mistaken or are you f/n?", his smirk grew into a big childish grin when you nodded your head. "i'm sure you remember me? oikawa tōru! we were best friends!", you rolled your eyes, with a small smile. "yeah yeah i remember you, trashykawa". you teased "that's mean! when are we going to hangout again!?", you paused as if signalling you're thinking, and he continued. "how about you just give me your number, and i'll figure out when we can hang out!", you mentally scowled. annoying as ever. "i'm not getting out of this, am i?". he shook his head smugly, and you huffed. "fine. but don't annoy me, and don't leak my number, or i'll block you".

"see ya around f/n!", the setter shouted as you left for your team, who stood puzzled in the hallway. "sorry i took so long", you put simply. many had their eyebrows furrowed. "what business did he had with our manager?", tanaka questioned, with an 'intimidating' look on his face. "we knew eachother as kids, and he begged me for my number to hang out again", you rolled your eyes, recalling what just happened. "you know the great kind?!", hinata shouted, with stars in his eyes. you nodded your head. that's literally what i just said!

you were just about to get on the bus, but the great oikawa tōru had stopped a few of your players. you couldn't hear their conversation, but it seemed to anger them. eventually oikawa walked away, and an angered tanaka and hinata walked onto the bus.

kageyama's pov

today we were having a practice match against seijoh, which means i'd be playing against oikawa.

*to when y/n is confronted by oikawa*

i was heading out of the gym, exhausted from the match today. i looked back quickly hen to see l/n talking to oikawa. i'm not sure why but it made me angry. "what's that city boy doin' talking to our manager". tanaka growled. ohhh yeah. i'm angry because he's talking to our manager. that's it. definitely. mhm. i decided i'd eavesdrop on their conversation, and soon enough i could hear oikawa speak. "i'm sure you remember me? i'm oikawa tōru! we were best friends!". i could tell l/n was annoyed, "yeah yeah. i remember you trashykawa", said boy pouted, which gave you somewhat satisfaction, which quickly went away. "so when are we going to hangout again?", please don't hang out with him. "how about you just give me your number! then i'll figure out when we can hangout!", he exclaimed. she slumped, "i'm not getting out of this am i?". soon enough, they finished talking, and ended up exchanging phone numbers, which annoyed me. so hinata AND oikawa got her phone number!? but i didn't?

i was in a bad mood the rest of the day. i couldn't comprehend why, but i couldn't stand that she'd rather talk to the dumbass over me. was i missing something?
