Brilliance (Haikyuu Fanfiction Series!!!)

2. Irritation

Natsuki POV

My personal bubble is going to pop any moment. My entire day so far has made me want to pull my hair off. The girls in the girl's volleyball club kept following me around asking me to join their team.

Well it sucks to be them because I told myself that I was done with volleyball so I rejected them every time they asked. I assume that they'll eventually stop asking me if I continue to ignore them. Because honestly I don't ever want to see them again, volleyball is a love/hate for me and right now I'm not loving it.

But my day wasn't bad just because of that, the vending machine didn't have any strawberry milk in the morning and it was all because of that black hair kid from yesterday. I saw him buy the last milk carton in the vending machine and got into a huge argument with him. He can't take my daily milk! He ruined my morning!!

Ding dong Ding dong

I try to get out of the classroom undisturbed, but once again I'm stopped by two girls in the volleyball team. "Natsuki, will you join the girls' volleyball team?" The girl not named Mochi, but Michimiya, asks along with another 3rd year girl. The two of them bow their heads down pleading.

I stare at them and think about the past back when I lived in the Serizawa family. Everyday I would ask my father if he would let me choose what I wanted to do. Yet each time, it would always end with him choosing what he thought was best for me. I begged to at least have volleyball in my life, the one thing that brought me happiness before I was taken in my Serizawa family, but what I thought brought me happiness ended up tormenting me everyday as it reminded me how alone I was on the court and everywhere I went.

I bite the bottom of my lip. What difference is this? They want me because they know who I am? And if I'm not to their expectations personality wise, are they going to tell me to quit? Or are they just going to deal with my presence in order to win their matches like my middle school team?

"I'm in the photography club now, I can't be a part of your volleyball club." I bluntly state with a face of disgust, "Besides rather than begging to me, go get some practice or else you can never be anywhere near my level."

By saying such rude words, I expected them to be intimidated and disappear forever in my life, but instead they do the complete opposite and smile even brighter than before.

"We will train and do better so please consider," they say as they politely bow their heads again and leave.

I watch them leave and sigh. It's for the best. If I were to join, it would just be a mess. I could tell that just being near me they were nervous. I can't imagine how they would be if I were in the same team as them.

Later during the afternoon, Tomoyo and I ate lunch together on the balcony until she claimed that she forgot something and immediately sprinted off somewhere on her own. I didn't really get a chance to question her but she looked really afraid as if she lost something precious to her.

After she left, I decided to take a stroll around the school grounds to find a vending machine that had strawberry milk. I know that it's around this time everyday that they would always run out of milk cartons in the vending machine so I'm just going to have to hope there would at least be one.

Luckily I found one near the 3rd year's building. Yet unexpectedly, I see an irritated Kageyama dashing towards the vending machine with an angry face.
