Chapter 2: New Faces

~ Matsukawa's POV ~

I woke up to the blinding sun shining through the my window.

Uuugghhh

I got up and went to the bathroom to take a shower and brush my teeth, I felt disgusting.

While in the shower I just kept thinking about Hanamaki, I mean sure he was cute but that's not why he was on my mind.

His volleyball skills were really good in my opinion and if I'm not mistaken he did say he just moved this area so maybe...

''He could be going to my school!''

I realised I said that out loud and clasped a hand over my mouth, I hope no on heard that. I decided to get out of the bathroom and go get dressed for school because I had morning practice, so after finishing I grabbed an apple and headed there.

~ Hanamaki's POV ~

I was supposed to come to school twenty minutes early to meet with someone, I think his name was Iwaizumi, to show me around the school when students weren't there.

The school was pretty big so I would've for sure gotten lost. When Iwaizumi shows up I'll have to ask him about clubs - the volleyball club in particular.

~ Iwaizumi's POV ~

The teachers told me I had to show someone around the school because apparently 'I'm the only one that can be trusted', I just agreed since I had nothing better to do. I knew I had to get out of practice early today and everyone - especially Oikawa - would wonder where I'm going but I chose to ignore it.

So I went up to Coach and told him that I had to leave, he already knew that and so he allowed me.

''Bye guys, see you later!'' I shouted as I gathered my stuff and left.

''Wait where are you going Iwa-chan! You can't leave me alone with them!'' Oikawa whined but I payed him no attention.

I was walking toward the office where I should have been meeting Hanamaki but I saw him drinking some water from the mini fountain inside.

~ No one's POV ~

As Hanamaki was drinking water he didn't notice Iwaizumi there so when he showed up next to him he started chocking.

''Oh I'm so sorry, are you okay!?'' Iwaizumi said with concern showing in his voice.

''Yeah I'm fine don't worry, it was my fault for not paying attention. Anyway my name's Takahiro Hanamaki but you can just call me Makki!'' he was very excited to be meeting Iwaizumi since he's heard some stuff about him.

''I'm glad. My name's Hajime Iwaizumi, so shall we get started before my friends run to come find me?''

Hanamaki chuckled and said a quick 'sure' to the boy.

And so they began the tour.

''...and this is the gym, if you have any extra questions then ask away.'' he said sitting down on a bench nearby.

Hanamaki was tired, this school was way bigger than he imagined.

''Do you know anything about clubs - volleyball in particular?'' then he sat down next to Iwaizumi.

''Oh yeah I'm actually part of the team. I can tell Coach you want t-'' but he was rudely interrupted by a high pitched voice.

''Iwa-chan! I can't believe you left me to hang out with him!'' Oikawa pouted and made a 'hmph' sound while crossing his arms over his chest.

''Oikawa please you're scaring away the new kid. Anyway I have to go see Coach, Maki said he wanted to join volleyball and I was thinking he could attend afternoon practice today.'' and with that he grabbed Hanamaki's wrist and took him to Coach, but Oikawa was quick to follow the two.

The three boys entered an office and there, on a black chair, was the coach.

He looked up and stopped what he was doing,

''Oh hello Iwaizumi, Oikawa and...''

''Hanamaki.'' Hanamaki said with a smile on his face.

''Ah yes sorry, do you need anything?'' he said standing up.

''Actually Coach do you mind if Hanamaki joins us for afternoon practice today?'' Iwaizumi said with a calm voice.

''Of course not! The more the better, I'll go grab you some clothes to change into. Now why don't you go and introduce yourself to the rest of the team.'' then he left the room.

Oikawa, Iwaizumi and Hanamaki entered the gym and everyone looked at them with confusion.

~ Hanamaki's POV ~

Everyone was staring at us, or me because they didn't know who I was.

But then someone caught my eye...

Matsukawa.

It had to be him, he was talking to a boy with brown hair and one with black hair.

I think he noticed me looking at him cause he made eye contact and we just stared at each other.

I can't believe it's actually him.

~ Matsukawa's POV ~

I heard someone enter the gym so I turned my head to see who it was and I was so shocked when I looked over.

It was Hanamaki.

I couldn't believe my eyes, Kunimi and Kindaichi stopped talking and also turned to look at what was going on.

I made eye contact with him and just stayed like that.

I guess I was right to think he was coming here.

I was actually really glad because I missed him, which sounds weird since I only just met him but I just had this strange feeling inside me.

Either way I knew I was going to enjoy practice more now that he's here.
