I panted as I jogged into the parking lot, pulling my jacket a little tighter around myself and scanning for the light blue mitsubishi I was told to be on the hunt for. I saw it idling in a spot under the street light at the center of the parking lot, slowly making my way over as the passenger window rolled down. Two grinning boys greeted me through the opening.

"Nice to meet you, Y/N."

"You can hop in the back."

I dove into the back seat and shivered, stuffing my hands onto the heating vents as both boys turned to stare at me. The reality of climbing into a car with two boys I didn't know at ass o'clock in the morning was setting in, and I held up my phone as though it were a deterrent.

"Tendo has strict instructions to hunt you down if I'm not back for first period, and he has your names and my location."

Both boys held up their hands in a mock surrender, the shorter of the two passing me a bag of fries.

"All good things. I'm Hanamaki, by the way, and this is Matsukawa. Nice to finally put a face to a name." He laughed while gesturing between him and his friend.

Slowly we all relaxed, munching on the fries and trading stories about silly volleyball mishaps and mutual friends. Hanamaki propped up his phone on the dash, setting a timer and posing with Matsukawa and I. Both boys held up half a heart, my arms crossed as I held up my hands to complete both of them. By the time 6am rolled around we were all yawning.

"Alright, you two probably need to get going and I gotta get back to my dorm before the security guard gets here."

They both waved as I walked back towards my school, peeling out of the lot the moment I passed the gate. A buzz pulled my attention to my phone and I smiled when I saw the photo we all took pop up in the groupchat.
