Chapter 1

"I kept the ball in the air, it's not your place to give up." – Yuu Nishinoya

I wiped the sweat from my forehead before taping the last box, then I looked at my room that was now full of boxes.

'I finally get to live on my own, and go to my dream school.' I think excitedly at the thought of my new life.

"Mom, the mover guys will be here later to get my stuff to move it to my new apartment," I say while I walk into our now empty living room.

"Okay Hun, I will come and visit you before I leave for Tokyo." I hear my mom say while I grab my backpack and head for the door.

"Ok, I am heading off to school." I announce and I get a 'Bye' in return before I close the door.

I smile to myself while I head towards my highschool, and soon a familiar person joins me."I can't believe we got into our dream school," I say at the person's arrival and she nods

"It has been our dream to play volleyball at Karasuno Highschool." She says and I happily nod

"Akina we are so close! We are at Karsuno, now we just have to join the volleyball team!" I say happily and she shakes her head.

"We probably won't make the starting line-up. So it might take a bit longer than just joining their volleyball club." She says and I shake my head.

"As long as you are my setter, we can do anything!" I say optimistically and Akina sighs knowing I won't give up.

Once we get to Karasuno we hear loud girls fangirling over some 'King of the Court.'

"Who are they talking about?" I ask and Akina just stares at me

"You don't know who Kageyama Tobio is?" Akina said with a shocked expression

"No, I don't, that's why I'm asking."

"He is the famous setter from Kitagawa Daiichi Middle School, we saw him play at the tournament last year," Akina says trying to get me to remember

"Oh yea, he is the setter who got switched out. I wonder where he got his nickname, it's pretty cool." I say and Kageyama starts to walk towards us

"It may sound cool on the surface, but apparently his teammates from Kitagawa Daiichi gave it to him because-" Akina whispered while Kageyama walked by, but he suddenly glared at her causing her to stop then continued to walk off.

"Because why?" I ask still wanting to know

"He is a dictator, so it's his way or the highway," Akina says and the first bell rang so we parted ways because Akina is smarter than me so we are in different classes.

I walk down the hall to my class, and look around to see if I know anyone and I only recognize one person and that is Kageyama.

I sighed knowing that this would be a long day, and sat down away from Kageyama and his fangirls.

I wait for the teacher to come in then try and pay attention or try to.

-Time Skip to Lunch-

Akina walks into my class "Hey did you bring lunch." Akina asks and I shake my head.

"I'm going to get something from the vending machine, so I will be right back," I say grabbing the money from my bag then quickly walking out of the classroom.

I find the vending machines and buy a carton of milk and some pudding, but when I turn around Kageyama is standing behind me.

"Oops sorry," I say trying to leave but he suddenly grabs my wrist"Why are you trying to run off when you wrote this?" He says holding up a neatly folded piece of paper

"What do you mean?" I say and he hands me the letter and I unfold it to read it.

"I don't know how you figured out where I live, but I swear if you cross paths with me it won't be pretty," Kageyama says and I finish reading the letter and my eyes widened.

"Who would ever do such a thing," I say surprised bu what the letter said"What did you forget what you wrote?" Kageyama asks in an annoyed tone and I quickly shake my head.

"You have the wrong person. I never wrote this," I say handing him back the letter then added "Good luck with you crazy fangirls." I say while I walk off.

Once I make it back to my class Akina is still sitting there waiting for me.

"What took you so long?" She asked and I sighed"There was a misunderstanding," I say while I sit down and open up my pudding, and Akina stares at me for more details.

"One of Kageyama's crazy fan girls threatened him and he thought I was her because the vending machines were their meeting spot," I say while I put the straw in the milk cartoon, and take a sip.

"That's crazy." She said and I nodded

"Oh well it's none of my business," I say and Akina smiled

"Oh yea, I turned in our club applications!" She said excitedly and I smile

"I wonder who is on the team," I say aloud my thoughts and Akina nodded

"Me too." She says and I look at all the food she as

"You might want to hurry and start eating before the bell rings," I say and she nods before digging into the food, while I eat my pudding cup.

The bell rings announcing that lunch is over and I help Akina clean up then throw the trash away.

"Bye!" She says with a wave and I wave back

I sat back down while seat while the other students walk back into the classroom, and I look around because I had a feeling that somebody was staring at me and I quickly meet eyes with Kageyama.

'What's his problem?" I think to myself while I decide to ignore him.

-Time skip ending of school-

I stretch my arms while the bell rings to announce the end of class. I smiled happily while I grab my stuff and walk out into the hall to meet Akina.

"Y/N, are you ready?" She asks and I nod in response

"Let's go" I say while I almost drag her down the hallway and to the volleyball gym.
