Foreign Exchange Student {Nishinoya Yū x Reader}

Chapter 2

"Oh my gosh I'm so sorry I didn't see you there," she said calmly.

"It's okay, I bumped into you."

"My apologies, if you're all right I'll be going now." She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and started to walk away.

"Actually, I'm a little lost do you happen to know where the gym is, for girls volleyball?"

"Yes, I do, I can bring you there if you'd like."

"I'd appreciate that. If you aren't too busy."

"It's my pleasure. Why are you going to the gym, if you don't mind me asking?" She asked as the two of you walked.

"I want to try out for the girls' volleyball team and I'm living with someone in the boys' team."

"Is it Nishinoya-san?"

"Mhm, I'm a foreign exchange student from Canada."

"I know he's been talking about you all week, 'his new adorable housemate,'" she said mockingly, "I'm Shimizu Kiyoko by the way."

"Oh! You're the goddess!" You quickly covered your mouth.

She smiled a bit, "It's alright, don't worry. I take it Nishinoya-san has told you about me."

"Yesterday when I arrived."

"I figured. This is gym 2 where the girls' sports are held, volleyball practice should be happening now, down there is gym 1, boys' practices are held there," She pointed as you approached the door you hadn't realized was in front of you, "He's told the team all about you L/n-chan."

"That's sweet, I think? And you can call me Y/n," She smiled and backed up a bit, making room for you to open the doors, "Thanks, Kiyoko-senpai."

"I'm always happy to help and please, no need to call me senpai. I'm comfortable with Kiyoko-san."

"Alright. I was wondering, Kiyoko-san...would I be able to be a manager for the boys' team as well? I could learn a lot and maybe even help them too."

"After you are done here come to gym 1. We can talk to the coaches there."

"Cool. Thank you again," She nodded and turned away.

When you opened the door to the gym all eyes immediately fell on you. As you walked in you asked if you could try out and surprisingly the coach agreed even though it wasn't an official tryout. A tall girl brought you to the change room and told you to change into gym clothes. You warmed up with the rest of the team and talked. They were actually really nice. The coach started to speak and you all gathered around.

"Ok so you can play a three-on-three match and I'll decide if you should be on the team based on that," she explained and split you up.

You were with Manami Aoki who is the team's setter and Yui Michimiya, the captain.
The tryout went great and you beat the other team in the first set 25-20 and the second 25-17.

"Wow! You are really good! Coach, she has to be on the team!" One girl said.

"As a Libero! Did you see those receives?!" Another yelled.

The coach then came up to you, "You have amazing form, almost perfect, were you on a team?"

"Yes I was on my middle school team as a Libero, that is the position I would like to play, and I'm best at it, but I can play any!" You with your back perfectly started and avoiding direct eye contact.

"Well we already have a talented Libero on our team, I'll need to talk to her about it."

"No, she's better than me coach! She should be our Libero!" Nozomi Watabi, the team's official Libero, interrupted her coach.

"Come with me," The coach walked over to the corner, out of earshot with the player.

After about 5 minutes of whispering the two joined the group again. "Welcome to the team!" Your new coach smiled with her arms out.

You sighed and smiled. "I'll do my very best!"

"Bye everyone see you tomorrow!" You yelled as you exited the gym. First practice done! Now to the boys' gym to meet up with Noya, and ask to be a manager on the team.

Who knew first days could be so eventful. Slowly opening drew all eyes to you once again, but this time instead of standing in silence someone yelled your name.

"Y/n! How did it go?! Are you on the team?!" Nishinoya ran towards you.

"It went great Nishinoya-senpai, I'm the team Libero!" You spoke with a smile on your face.

"Wow, congrats!" There was not a twitch of surprise even though he had no idea what your skill level was.

You walked in and said hello to everyone, introducing yourself to 5 new boys. One tall, very tall with glasses and the other 3 about average height. There was a green and freckled-haired boy, another's hair was blond and a little spiked, the other's looked like it might have been gelled and the. Last had the same shaved head as Tanaka. Their names were Tsukishima-kun, Yamaguchi-san, Kinoshita-san, Ennoshita-kun and Narita-san. The coaches sat on a bench off to the side, you marched over, stood tall and talked confidently.

"Hello! I'm Y/n and I would like to be a manager on the boys' team. I know there already is an amazing solo manager but I feel that I could be of great use to your team. I'm on the girls' team as a Libero and I'm very good, if I do say so myself. I can play any position so I could help the boys practice and assist you. I always do my best and promise to never slack off."

Ukai and Takeda looked at each other with blank expressions then turned back to you. Takeda then started to speak, "Y/n, it sounds more like you would be a good student coach, rather than a manager. If you like the manager position we can give it to you but I think being a coach would be better for you."

"A coach? Are you serious?" You asked with wide eyes.

Ukai nodded and Takeda continued, "There are some papers you'll need to get signed but I don't see any reason why you couldn't try."

"Of course! I'd be honoured with any position. Thank you," You bowed, trying to hold back your excited giggles.
