Chapter 25

"I can't believe we're doing this," Jace said with a hint of smile plastered on his face.

"Yeah, right," I huffed, annoyed. "I mean, I don't even know what the principle sees in me 'till of all the students he could pick, it will be me. Like goddamn, I have never even played volleyball my whole life."

"Maybe that was why the principle chose you, so you could study it," Jace said trying to convince me.

Too bad, I am a stubborn and unreasonable person myself.

"But what did the principle see in me, I don't even have any ambitions and I think it is quite visible to anyone who sees me."

"Whatever," He rolled his eyes at me.

Then 6 Asian-looking peeps started catwalking inside the gymnasium.

The girls in the gymnasium dramatically gasped.

Then the older, sharp jaw-ed man came forward and shook hands with our principal.

"Thank you so much for coming across the world to help my fellow students for their competition." Principal Im smile widely and eyed the 5 students.

"The pleasure is all mine, sir," The older man laughed for no reason. "Besides, they might need to have a little trip from their hard work. I am their coach, by the way, my name's Ukai Keishin"

"Ahh, students, please introduce yourself to your mentors as they will help you throughout the championship." The principal smiled and immediately cut it off once he made eye contact with me.

Each of the students introduced themselves and I was the last.

"Hello, my name is Monikka Mayleen and it is nice to meet you... I guess," I whispered out the last words and Jace elbowed me from the side, I hissed and rolled my eyes.

I look back at those Asian dudes and saw the shortest one with orange hair holding a chuckle.

Then the coach was saying something to them is Japanese and the rest nodded their head."Konichiwa," all of them said in unison and bowed. "We are the Karasuno volleyball team from Japan."

"My name is Tanaka Ryu, my role in the team is the wing spiker. Nice to meet you all." The bald guy said.

"My name is Sugawara Kōshi and I am one of the setters in the team." The white-haired egg-faced boy introduced himself whilst smiling.

"I'm Tsukishima and I am the middle blocker." The blonde-haired using glasses guy said with a cold tone.

"My name is Kageyama and I am the other setter in the team." The only black haired guy said whilst waving his hands awkwardly.

"Hello, my name is Shoyo Hinata, it is a pleasure to meet you all." The shortest orange-haired boy beamed and averted his eyes at me, I raised an eyebrow at him and he shook his head smiling.

That guy is weirder then I am.

"Please make yourself comfortable here and try to communicate with each other, try to get to know each other, that will make this less awkward before the practice." The principal said.

"Arigatōgozaimashita." The boys said together and started walking towards my teammates and started to talk to each other.

If only I was as friendly and social as they were.

Then that annoying orange shorty made his way to me."Hello." He said cheerfully.

I didn't say anything and gave him that look. He just laughed and swung his arm to my shoulders.

This guy might be short but he got guts.

"Awkward, yes? Don't worry, it is not like I am going to bite."

I scoffed and took his hands off me gently.

"So what makes you join this volleyball team? Interested." He asked.

I laughed. "Not even a bit."

He frowned at my words.

"I was forced to do so, I don't even know why."

"Maybe they wanted you to try new things."

"Yeah sure."

We went quiet for a while. Peace, just as I wanted but he was still beside me which made me suspicious.

I looked at my side and found him staring at me. Even if I caught him doing it, he still stared at me.

"Don't you have anyone you wanna make a conversation with? You already know I am not the type of person to talk," I said.

"You're a bit different from others." He simply said.

"And that was what makes me the outsider in this school." I huffed, feeling a bit offended by his statement when I don't even know if he meant if negatively, I usually don't give any penny for people's thoughts. What kind of changes did destiny wanna make again?

"No, like, you don't seem to wanna know anything, not about volleyball not about me, and that is quite weird since I have never met anyone like you before." He explained.

"One in a million, huh?" I laughed.

"In a billion." We both laughed.

I realized I just laughed.

That never happened in years.

I immediately shut my mouth and coughed a bit roughly.

Then he moved his body. faced me, and smiled softly.

"I was wondering if you would wanna eat at the same table with us." He asked.

"Why should I?"

"Because we need a tour guide and I think you would be a perfect one to take care of me and my team."

What in the hell is he up to?

"Hinata." I saw the blonde glasses called Hinata.

Yes, I remembered his name. And only his name. Since the others have very complicated names and I am too lazy to remember them.

"The coach is calling you." The blonde said.

"Oh, I will be right back, Monikka." Hinata smiled at me and went off.Then once it was just the blonde and I together, I looked at him to find him staring at me.

"What are you looking at?" I asked bitterly.

"Nothing," He said casually not taking his eyes off me.

"Well, it looks like you're looking at me, scumbag," I scoffed.

"As I said, nothing," He smirked.

Oof. Blonde 1, Monikka 0.

"Now you better get your ass out of my face, I'm allergic to butter heads," I smirked.

Blonde 1, Monikka 1.

"It's not my real hair colour,"

"That's the problem. If I calculated correctly, your hair doesn't fit any colour, might as well shave them lmfao," I laughed.

BOOM! Blonde 1, Monikka 2.

Why am I acting like this?

I immediately shut my mouth and coughed a bit roughly.

"Okay people! Let's get started on the practice." The coach blew that annoying whistle.

(A/N: Just so you know, I don't know that much about volleyball so like, I'ma skip the volleyball things part since I am into the guys only, ok bye)

//TIME SKIPS//

After the volleyball practice, we were excused to lunch.

The practice wasn't as hard as I thought. But it was most definitely not easy. Knowing the coach likes to scream when we did something wrong, my ears were hurting.

Then I felt Jace catching up with me.

"So, what do you think of volleyball now?" He asked.

"I don't know," I shrugged.

After a few minutes of no talking, Jace stopped at the teacher's lounge.

"I need to talk to one of the teachers first, you go have lunch without me." He said, I just nodded and stood there as he got inside the room.

I don't think I am in the mood for lunch, for now, I hope Coraline and Cody would understand.

I turned back and walked to the stairs when I felt a hand on my shoulder.

I flinched, yanked the unknown person's arm, held the guy's neck, and pushed him/her to the wall, choking them.

Then I saw an orange-haired guy struggling to breathe, I realized it was Hinata. I slowly let my hands go as he was collecting his breaths and sanity.

I scoffed. "Don't scare me like this, dumb."

He laughed and caressed his own throat. "My bad, I didn't know your survival instincts went kill choking." He joked.

Ahahahahahahahahahaahahahahaahahahahaha.

"Anyways, I told you to sit at our table at lunch, I thought the cafeteria was on the other way?" He asked.

"The cafeteria is that way, I am just not in the mood for eating."

"I don't take no as an answer, you're going with me." He said and pulled my arms towards the cafeteria.

This guy got guts.

Once we are in the cafeteria, he led me to a table full of volleyball Asians.

"Hinata! Where were you? And is this the girl from the volleyball?" The egg faced white-haired guy asked.

"You guys mind if she sits here? She will be our tour guide to this school." Hinata said proudly.

"When did I even agree to that?" I mumbled. I glanced at Cody and Coraline's table and there they are, staring at me with smiles on their face.

I mouthed them a 'help me' and all they do is just lower their heads down.

Some friends they are.

"I like her already," The bald guy simply said.

"Hah! I know right?" Hinata replied.

"Hello people, the food here is not that bad you know- you again?" The blonde asked as he just made his way to this table.

"You're already wearing glasses and you still can't see me? Tsk." I mentally patted my back.

Blonde 1, Monikka 3.

"You're not worthy to be seen by my eyes anyways." He shrugged and placed his tray in an empty place. I could see his smirked hidden in his stupid face.

Oop, Blonde 3, Monikka 3.

He was going high.

I scoffed.

The rest laughed.

Wtf.

"Let me introduce you to my teammates, there are more of us than this, but I don't think we need to bring all here when we came just to mentor," Hinata said.

"First there is me, the handsome one, the one who jumps up to 133 cm high." He smiled proudly to himself, guys and egos, am I right? "I am energetic and friendly and if you need a landing on hand, I will be there in a call."

"Next is Kageyama, he is kind of anti-social because he is just not good when talking to new people, but he'll get used to you when you are close enough, he is normally loud when he is near us." Hinata laughed and pointed at the black-haired guy.

"I also call Hinata boke, so just call him that" Kageyama said and smirked at Hinata.

Boke...?

"Don't mind him!" Hinata said.

"Next is Tsukishima, I believe you've talked to him before. Please don't mind his saltiness, that makes him unique. He can put everyone down with his word. I have a feeling you'll be more attracted to him than you are to me." Hinata mumbled.

Me? Him? Friends? When pigs fly.

"Next is Sugawara Kōshi, his personality is cheerful and supportive and he is like our mom," Hinata said, the egg faced guy just smiled warmly at me.

"And last but not least is Tanaka Ryu his personality is the troublemaker and likes to make our captain mad, but his volleyball skills are on point," Hinata explained.

"Now that you've known all about us, why don't you tell us about yourself?"

"Should I have to?" I asked.

"Of course!" Hinata said.

"Okay, boke. Whatever you were called with." I said and the rest of the team held their laughs and Hinata whined.

"You do know what boke means in Japanese right?" Suga said, I just shrugged.

"It means idiot," Kageyama said and burst out laughing.

"Heh, suits him," I said and the table roared in laughter and all I can do is just cover my face, I don't think it is the right time to give the whole cafeteria the cold eyes telling them to fuck off.

"Uhh, my name is Monikka Mayleen, I come from Queens and I am like the sociopath here, I don't like communicating but I do have friends," I mumbled.

"Now you have us of course!" Hinata said.

"No, I have friends from this school, they just want me to make new friends and now is ignoring me," I said.

"Who? where?" Tanaka asked as he glanced at the whole cafeteria who is still staring at this table.

I shot some glance at some students and they immediately broke ff eye contact.

This will be a whole lot of championship.
