° Interhigh Tournament °
Light shone onto my face, waking me up. As I reached my arm to my side, I noticed that I wasn't in my usual place of sleep. I soon remembered the night before due to the cry of happiness when I woke up.
"Y/N-chan! You're awake!" I heard his voice coming from the mattress on the floor.
"Yes I am, Tooru."
"Good, because we need to get to school in an hour." He said, causing me to sit bolt upright in his bed.
"WHAT??!!" I shouted. Looking over to my best friend, I noticed that he was in his full volleyball tracksuit.
"It's the Interhigh tournament. Did you forget?"
"Why do I have to come? I'm not part of the team." I complained. "I had plans to stay in my pajamas all day."
"You're coming. You're my one fangirl that I enjoy having there."
"Uuuuuuggggggghhhh." I said whilst rolling off the bed. I rolled specifically so that I would fall on top of him and wind him.
Suddenly, it occurred to me what he actually said.
"Wait. You don't enjoy being around your fangirls?"
"No, not really. I used to but it's hard to have so many people around you all the time."
It made sense what he was saying, despite the surprise it was.
"Right. Get out. I need to get dressed. You do have some of your sister's clothes left right?"
"They're on the chair."
"Cheers."
As he got out of the room, I went over to the clothes that Oikawa had gotten for me. I saw that there was a black skirt and what looked like to be one of Tooru's training jackets.
"Jesus Christ."
After I placed the clothes on, I left the room to see my best friend outside.
"You look cute." He said winking at me. If anyone else had done that, I'd be weirded out, but with Oikawa, I was used to it.
We got to school about five minutes before we needed to leave for the tournament.
"Before we leave, I want to make sure that there isn't a loophole so that I can get out of this." As my answer, I was dragged onto the bus and sat down next to the brunette responsible.
"I never agreed to this!" I complained before the bus left for the volleyball courts.
As we got off the bus, I saw the other teams there, noticing the orange and black uniforms of Karasuno.
"Hey! Tobio-chan!" I called out. He looked up and waved slightly. I noticed that Hinata looked as I he was going to be sick, looking over the rest of them, I noticed two boys who hadn't been there before. One very tall and one the complete opposite.
Soon, it was time for us to go inside. I wished the boys good luck before making my way up to the stands.
Our first game was against Oomisaki High. I could tell from the smug look on Oikawa's face that he knew it was going to be an easy game.
Within the first few minutes, we had earned four points from our setter's serves alone. Once they were able to receive the serve, the opposing team were able to get a few points on the board.
It wasn't enough to beat us though. The first set ended up with us winning, the results being 25-14.
The second set was very similar, ending with the result 25-12. The boys were very happy with their win and I threw a thumbs up to them.
In response, I received one back from Oikawa, causing all of the girls in the seats next to me to avert their gase to me, making me extremely uncomfortable.
Their eyes didn't peel themselves away from me until the second match began. Karasuno.
I knew this was going to be good, seeing the game last week proved this to me.
As the two captains shook hands, three girls next to me shouted "Oikawa, you can do it!" I rolled my eyes at them before noticing two men I hadn't seen before. I assumed that they were there for Karasuno.
"Good luck." I said to them with a smile.
"You too." They said back.
They ended up sitting on the other side of me so I started up a conversation.
"How have Karasuno's matches been?" I asked.
"Really good, they've put up a good fight; however, I don't think they can beat Seijoh." The one in the glasses said.
"You've got all of these supporters, not to mention the girls here purely for Oikawa." The other man said.
"God, I'm so sorry about them. Technically, I'm here for Oikawa but it's for a different reason. I've known him for years and he drags me along to every match he plays." I said with a laugh. "Anyway, hope you enjoy the game."
"You too." They both said together.
Soon, the referee's whistle sounded, indicating the first serve of the match. A tall blonde with glasses got up to serve for Karasuno. He did a very simple serve which was received easily by Kunimi.
The ball went to Oikawa. Just as everyone thought he was going to set it, he spiked the ball, flying past the the Karasuno players and earning us a point. Looking towards the court, I saw Tooru saying something to Tobio as if to intimidate him.
The game went on in our favour but something caught my attention. Tobio went to set the ball. It could have gone to one of two people, the short boy known as Hinata or the taller of the two new players. Despite this, just as he was about to set, Tobio changed his attack to a setter dump, surprising our players massively.
I noticed him look menacingly at Oikawa and say something to him, I assumed it was something to do with what was said before. Let's just say, Tooru looked pissed.
Once Oikawa got up to serve, he was able to put a lot of points against them, putting us far into the lead. I noticed that Tooru was aiming specifically towards the bald number 5.
Once Karasuno's fire went out a little, I saw the silver haired vice captain start hitting them in places as if to tell them to work harder. The captain got a punch to the chest, number 5 got a smack to the head, number 3 got a cut to the side, the blonde middle blocker got a chop to the top of the head and the libero, he got a double high five.
Despite Karasuno's heightened spirit, we still managed to win the first set 25-15.
The second set was far more equal than the first. Karasuno beating us only by a point for most of the set.
During the second set, Tobio was taken off the pitch and was substituted by the silver haired boy from before. During this time, the boy with the man bun spiked the ball, hitting it over the blockers perfectly. It was incredible.
Karasuno reached set point with us on 23. If we messed this play up, they would win the set.
The ball went from Watari to Oikawa to Iwaizumi. The ball hit Iwaizumi's palm, making its way over the but was stopped in its path by Karasuno's number 11. The sound of it hitting the floor carried throughout the court. Karasuno had won the second set 23-25.
Iwaizumi was not the least bit happy by this. He was seething, beating himself up over nothing. Tooru tried to calm him down but I don't think it worked.
The third set began with a libero set from Watari to Oikawa to spike, earning us a point.
Throughout the set, we were leading; however, Karasuno were hot on our tail.
Hinata was darting around the court, sometimes hitting and sometimes being there as a decoy, confusing the hell out of our players. This caused Karasuno to level with us at 15 points. A worrying sight to all of the Seijoh players and supporters.
Our rhythm was soon recovered when it was Tooru's turn to serve. This helped us regain our lead from before, but only just.
However, Karasuno managed to level with us again, but at the most inconvenient time possible. I looked at the score board, swing those numbers. 24-24.
"OIKAWA! YOU CAN DO IT!!" I heard from beside me.
Due to the shouts Tooru looked up to the girls, before shifting his eyes to me. I nodded at him in support. He knew that I was saying the same as those girls, even if I wasn't screaming it at the top of my lungs.
We managed to get to one point ahead, the score at 32-31. However, Karasuno currently had the ball. Tobio's set to Hinata was perfect. Everything was perfect but Kindaichi, Matsukawa and Kunimi were there to block it. The ball hit the floor. 33-31.
We had won.
Cheers erupted from the crowd but I couldn't help but feel sorry for our opponents. The sad looks on their faces broke my heart.
I ran to the corridor where they would be exiting and waited for them.
As they came out, I stopped leaning on the wall.
"Well done everyone. You all did so well." I said, looking towards their gloomy faces, my heart crumbling even more.
"Thank you, L/N-senpai." Tobio-chan said. His voice had no change to it whatsoever; however, I knew that he was as crestfallen as the others.
As they walked past me, I saw Oikawa standing in the doorway.
"Hey Y/N-chan!"
"Hi Tooru."
"Come on, we're playing against Senseki next." He said, grabbing my arm and leading me to the correct part of the stands.
Hello there! Sorry I took a while to write this chapter. Anyhoo, I hope you enjoyed this chapter!
