Three:

No response. I pout, spotting the headphones in the boy's ears. He opens the door to his house without even looking over his shoulder. I sigh, shoulders going from up to down.

"Asha! Did you say something?"

"No! Nothing!" I chirp, heading back inside my house. I lock the door to the car.

~(^v^)~ Time Skip ~(^v^)~

I slept in. I hate sleeping in. It's midway through the afternoon now, and I'm barely ready to venture out toward Karasuno High School. Sugar-chan said in his letters that the game regulars train on Fridays while on Thursday, the whole team train way into the evening. That makes sense since it was pretty late when he arrived home.

I pile my chesnut coloured hair into a ponytail and sigh. Won't it be a bit cold out there? I hate cold weather! I bolt upstairs and change my clothes, pulling on a pair of tracksuit bottoms over my shorts and a cardi over my top. There's a vest in my backpack that I can pull on of I'm asked to participate.

"Are you going out, hon'?" My mother asks as I return to the hallway by the door.

"Yeah, is that alright?" I ask.

"Just don't be stupid. You haven't actually seen Sugarwawa Cushy in years."

"I know." I assure with a nod.

"Enjoy your day. Don't come home too late. We haven't had a key cut for you yet so if your father and I aren't home, ask if you can go into Sugarwawa's." I am instucted.

"Alright." I nod, re-adjusting the position of my pink and grey backpack on my back.

"Have fun, Asha!" my dad calls from the dining room where he was tap tap tapping on his laptop. You can take the man away from his business but he'll dwell on everything. Especially if it's my overly anxious father.

"Bye!" I wave to both of my parents before leaving and locking the door.

Hm, not as cold as I thought it would be. I smile and start my walk. The local area looks just as peaceful as it did when I was last here. Not much has changed. The house three doors away from Sugar-chan's has been painted, I'm pretty sure it wasn't that colour before. And I'm pretty sure that those who live in the house two doors away from my house have redone their driveway. I shrug as I continue to walk. This area is so calming but it cannot sooth my excitement. I cannot wait to get to Karasuno!

I check my watch as I go, despite knowing I slept all of the way through the school day for Karasuno High School, most of the students are going to be at their extra curricular classes unless they could get out of them.

I smile, nobody's looking at me, despite the slobby looking clothes. I glance at the visitor's pass I have around my neck, just to make sure it hasn't grown legs and jumped off of my neck while I made my way towards Karasuno High School.

Upon making my way inside, I see nothing. Nobody's out of the buildings. Okay, where did Sugar-chan say that the gym was? Around the corner with the vending machine. Vending machine. Vending machine...

Where is the vending machine? Did Sugar-chan specify the colour?

Is that it?

I take a few steps toward a large building. Nope, some sort of container. I sigh.

Vending machine. Vending machine...

A short boy strides by, a skip in his step. His tufty orange hair bouncing as he bounces by. Where do I recognise that weird hair...?

I gasp.

"Hey!" I call out to the boy. He stops, turning around. Bingo!

I grin, I must look like such a creep. The kid takes a step backward, fear clear in his honey brown eyes. This has to be him! The kid that jumps, right. The boy with the incredible drive and the spike to back it up... Well, he's wearing a gym shirt with the school logo and a pair of navy sports shorts. So I guess it's likely that it's him.

"Hello." I try to act normal.

"Hi." the boy smiles despite the fear in his face. "I'm Shoyo Hinata."

"Hey Hinata." I hold my hand out to him. We shake hands after he's stared blankly at my hand for a minute or so. He still appears awkward.

"I'm Asha." I smile. "Would you mind taking me to the volleyball building?"

I bet I sound like some sort of paedophile. Ugh, I mentally chide myself as I fight a grimace.

"I was just going that way." he nods, smiling brightly.

"Thanks." I bow my head.

"Hurry up Hinata!" a guy with a buzz cut calls...Tanaka Ryuu right?

"Hey!" a short guy with a blond tuft of hair at the front of his spiky hair greets. That's Nishinoya Yuu. Clearly. "C'mon in."

"Right." I duck my head, embarrassed and take a few steps inside.

The gym has a few boys in there. On the courtside closer to me, are Tanaka, Kageyama Tobio, Nishinoya and Hinata. Opposing them is a team of three. How bizarre. Oh, that's why, there's a bespectacled blond tying his shoes on the courtside.

"Hey!" the central guy in the team further away waves frantically. My eyes light up like a Christmas tree. He saw me today! Hooray!

"Hey!" I beam. The three boys on the side away from me, make their way over, leaving the blond behind.

"Asha-chan!" I am embraced by my white haired friend.

"Kyahh!" I giggle we hug. "I've missed you so much Sugar..." I trail off, face red.

"Sugar?" the two brunets behind Sugawara Koushi tilt their heads, expressions are that of people trying not to laugh.

"I'm sorry." I murmur.

"Don't worry, Asha-chan." Sugar-chan too looks a bit awkward.

"These are my friends and classmates, Sawamura Daichi and Azumane Asahi." Sugar-chan introduces me to his friends.

I wave meekly.

Daichi is shorter than Asahi but both look as if they would be pretty intimidating if they weren't amused by me and Sugar-chan.

"Hey Die-chan!" I hold my hand out to Daichi. "Hey Acer-chan!"

I might as well embarass myself so then Sugar-chan doesn't get embarassed. Someone starts to laugh as the two brunets blink in uncertainty. I duck my head and start to laugh.

Their faces!
