"Hey Padema." Kiyoko greets me as I enter the changing room. I give her a brief wave, almost not noticing Yachi. "Another practice got cancelled?"

"Yeah." I tell her with a little sadness in my voice.

Captain has been cancelling a lot of practices lately, ever since she started getting a bunch of different work, since she's a third year.

I yawn pretty loudly and it lasted for a while.

Oikawa worked me extra hard today.

Not only did we practice serves but he made me do a morning workout with him.

Plus, I went to sleep late last night from studying.

I overheard the two talking about having no experience in volleyball and it seemed pretty awkward with me just changing here.

It would be best to somehow help them out.

"Yachi." I call our her name and she gets all scared for some reason. "I can teach you things about volleyball."

"Really?!" Her high pitch and slightly raspy voice screamed. I nodded at her while another yawn was coming. "Thank you!"

"Don't mention it." The three of us walked over to the gym together and Kiyoko announced the arrival for the team they're going up against.

"Padema." Kageyama approached me as I felt a third yawn coming. "Did you not sleep well last night?"

"What do you need Kageyama." I felt the grumpiness from being tired kicked in.

"Oh-I uh, was wondering if you wanted to work on some serving with me before the team arrives." That seemed to wake me up.

I totally forgot I went behind his back to take lessons from one of his worst enemies.

"I-I would, but I think I'm just going to work on some receives. Um- sorry." I quickly walk away from him and now I'm forced to work on receiving drills.

Tadashi agreed to hit for me while I pop it back up.

"Hey, Padema. Are you feeling okay?" He asks me and catches the ball. "Don't take this the wrong way, but your receives are pretty sloppy."

I feel my head start steaming from how he described my passing right now.

But again, he does have a point.

"Hey, we made it!" The team we're playing against today announced.

Ougi West Highschool.

"Get ready!" Daichi ordered everyone to line up.

I went over with them and stood by my brother at the end.

Wow, these guys are pretty tall. Not just some of them, all of them.

"Thank you for the game!" Everyone shouted at once and bowed.

The boys all started getting ready and I tried to teach Yachi how to pass and volleyball, while Kiyoko put out the uniforms.

"It's almost time to start, suit up!" Daichi tells the boys.

They all go to the chairs where I sat down and took their shirts off.

Yachi started freaking out at the sight of shirtless boys and I couldn't help but laugh.

I also couldn't help but maneuver my eyes to a certain somebody.

But I stop myself, Kageyama has got quite the body.

"Calm down. They're just boys." I tell Yachi who was still shaking at that sight.
