The sun was shining brightly upon reaching the terrace. It was empty, so it breathed a lot of tranquility and the light breeze was even more noticeable that way. There was a small area with various plants of different sizes and some folding hammocks and chairs to enjoy the place and it had a nice and spread view about great part of the school campus. If not so many people come here, it would be a good place to hang out.

"Maybe I shouldn't have run away like that.. They probably think I'm weird now" And eventhough the last part was said too low to be heard, there was someone around who did hear it.

"Maybe you shouldn't. Though I don't blame you" Turning back, she could see the black haired boy from before next to her.

"Uh I-I.. I'm sorry" Her cheeks went scarlet red and gazed over the railing trying to look away from that guy. First day and she had already embarassed herself.

"Don't be" The guy picked up a chair and began to read a book.

She didn't know what to do and the first thing her body asked was to run away again and hide herself in her room and spend the rest of the year over there with a blanket all over her, becoming a human sushi. However, that would just make her embarassed again begining a full circle.

Deciding not to, she kept looking around feeling the sun rays on her skin. It made her happy and the feeling was so enjoyable that it made all her worries go away. After a while of walking around and memorizing the view from every corner she decided to go back to the room.

Without knowing, the boy tried his best to focus on the book but it was becoming harder every second when the girl in front of him just kept going around way too much. It frustrated him. This was his place and he knew the precise hours to have the terrace all by himself or sharing it with people who also wanted a bit of peace. This did not include people going around and around and around. Fortunately for him, the girl decided to leave.

"Akaashi. Akaashi Keiji" the girl turned around after the words slipped from the guy. Why did he have to tell her? Akaasi just didn't know why and thought that it was simply because she would be his neighbour all year.

"Kobayashi Sakura. A pleasure" And after bowing, Sakura left the place.

The halls were more noisy and crowded than before. Reaching the floor, it was visible now that some people were watching tv in their respectives domes. Part of the volleyball male team seemed pleased and hyped with something that Sakura couldn't really figure out as the tv wasn't seen from that angle. 

Unluckily for her, the bicolor-haired guy from before crossed his gaze with hers and got shocked for a second. Remembering what happened before, Sakura ran away again entering her room.

"Are you okay? Your face is all red" A tall blonde girl with pale skin was placing her clothes in the empty wardrobe. "My name's Fujioka Aika by the way, your new room mate. Just call me Aika."

"I-I.. Yes, sorry. Just had my first three embarassing moments of the year and I just want to dissappear I-" Sakura sighed. It wasn't the begining she was expecting. "I'm Kobayashi Sakura."

"I see" Aika laughed while finishing. "Why don't you tell me whilst placing everything?"

After deciding Sakura would get the bottom bed and the left table, both began to decorate each part of the room at the story of Sakura's encounter with the two male players. Aika was a really nice and outgoing girl and both became friends right away.

Apparently Aika had already played volleyball before and it was a surprise for her to learn Sakura never officially played. She said she used to play with her childhood friends but never got the chance to enter a team and decided to try her luck after a talk with one of them and got in after the practice exam.

"How come you haven't played after the practice you did?? That was amazing. It sure is when you're so small and can jump that much"

"Everyone thought I would be a burden and that I could only play libero for my height. And unfortunately, I'm not quite good with reception." Before one of them could say a word, both phones ringed.

And after their captain's message and some time of getting to know each other, both girls prepared themselves to attend the party not knowing what was lying ahead.
