(L/N) gave a soft smile as she read another of the fifty love notes that were jammed in her locker. This one was much more sweeter than the ones she's previously read. With every letter she receives, she puts into a box. The box is a baby blue shade and sits in her locker.
Every note is signed off, though one time she got one with no name which she felt bad about because she couldn't talk to whoever gave it to her.
"What're you doing?" Takahashi had leaned against the locker next to hers. His red hair was messed up because of him leaning.
(Y/N) laughed while fixing his hair. "Just my usual routine, reading letters."
"Letters?" Takahashi was shown the whole box of letters. "You weren't kidding."
She laughed and put the box away, shutting her locker. "Your hair is still a mess." (Y/N) fixed his hair again.
Takahashi chuckled awkwardly as he felt the glares at the back of his head. "So, who's writing you that much letters?"
The girl sighed, "Almost every boy at this school."
"You're the Heartbreaker?! That girl everyone talks about?"
(Y/N) whacked him on the arm, "That makes me sound mean!"
"It's fine," Takahashi patted her head, "turning people down is totally normal."
The two talked as her friend group watched from the distance.
"Teru, go get your girl!" Makki had shoved the male towards her friend. Cho, Noel, and the other boys were laughing as they watched the male tumble into their female friend.
Terushima had bumped into (Y/N), causing her to fall back. Terushima had quickly regained his composure and stood back. He had shoved her into the male behind her. Takahashi caught her and almost fell back. He stumbled a bit as he tried to stand straight and keep his friend from falling as well. She had done a full 180 turn and now face him as the two fell onto the ground.
"I'm so sorry!" (Y/N) stood up and held her hand out. Takahashi gripped her hand and stood up. He smiled at her then looked past her, at Terushima.
The blonde male stood there awkwardly. In a split second he lifted (Y/N) over his shoulder and booked it. The girl yelped as she was taken away.
"I'm not going to get used to this school." Takahashi sighed.
(Y/N) was finally on the ground when Terushima made it to the friend group. They were on the floor laughing, literally rolling.
"You didn't have to kidnap me!" (Y/N) glared at the male. "And you three, I'll get Coach to bench you guys during the first game if you don't stop!"
The three stood up and shut up real quick. They knew she didn't throw empty threats around.
"Who's your new friend?" Izaka asked.
"Takahashi?" (Y/N) dusted her skirt off, "He's one of the American-Exchange students. You know he's half Japanese?"
The three girls raised a brow, "You seem to be spending a lot of time with him."
"He's a fun guy, now if you excuse me I need to apologize for all of your childish behavior because I know all of you are behind this."
The third year volleyball boys couldn't help see the similarities between her and their ex-manager, Hana.

"So, our first game is in two weeks?" Everyone was in their classes, supposedly doing their work.
(Y/N) nodded, "Did Mori tell you guys what colors your wearing?"
"The white jersey."
"Damn it!" She cursed the male captain, "Yellow is not a fitting color on my end."
The girls and boys teams never wore the same color jerseys on the first game of the season and the last.
Takahashi shrugged, "Our uniform is saying otherwise. Brings your eyes out." He said it so smoothly that it made her blush. "Aw! Someone's turning a shade of red!"
She slapped him, "I have a rep to keep up!"
"Yeah, the emotionless little heartbreaker, yeah, yeah." He waved his hands in her face, "You're not that emotionless. Why do people say you are?"
She shrugged and got back to work. Takahashi watched in amusement as he messed with her, drawing things on her paper or grabbing her pen.
(Y/N) looked up at him.
"That's why! Gosh, smile!" Takahashi handed her the pen and put his pointer fingers to the sides of her mouth, lifting them up to make her smile. "See, much better."
People were staring.
She rolled her eyes and turned to do her work.
On the other side of the class, Terushima was pouting. (Y/N) would have yelled at him without a doubt. His friends were trying to distract him from the two but nothing worked.
"Is it because I'm full Japanese?" Terushima complained, stuffing a rice hall into his mouth. Lunch was just him complain and eating, oh and getting stares from girls.
"Isn't Terushima-Kun so cute!"
"Look at his piercings!"
"He's so hot!"
He didn't really care for those words. He just ate his food and complained to his teammates.
"Stop messing around." Futamata snapped. "If (L/N) is bothering you this much, just ignore her! Go back to being that playboy who hits on everyone!" Everyone in the group stared. "I am not letting one measly girl ruin our season."
"She's not measly!" Terushima exclaimed. "Under her cold demeanor, she's the kindest girl I've ever met!"
Numajiri sighed, "She has you wrapped around her fingers too. Next thing you'll know, he's writing love letters to her too!"
"Don't be silly," Tsuchiyu waved his hands, "our captain doesn't have the balls to do so."
"Hey!"
- - -
Two weeks passed too quickly for (Y/N)'s liking. Their school was having a pep rally for the basketball team as it's the first day of the season. She stood in the yellow jersey with a giant, white number seven on it. The school name was written boldly across their chests. White stripes ran down the sides of their jerseys and shorts. The white uniform was the same, just inverted.
"And now...your Lady (Insert what their mascot is cause I have no clue and can't find it)!"
The lights of the gym flashed and flickered as they ran into the gym. Each had a basketball in their hands. They ran around the gym, dribbling then doing a lay up. They then stood in line with the boys team.
"This year's team captains...Mori Fazuk and (L/N) (Y/N)!" The two stepped up as lights flashed on them.
"Come and support these players as they kickoff their season tonight against Date Tech!"
The crowd cheered as the basketball players were seated in a section saved for them. The pep rally continued with the dance team performing then the teachers pulling random students out and having them compete in games.
Soon the bell rang, dismissing the students. All the basketball players stayed and helped cleaned up, of course after they changed from their jerseys.
"You guys didn't get a manager?" A first year boy on the basketball team asked. Another first year from the girls team nodded.
(Y/N) sat in sweats and a crop top on the gym floor after cleaning. She leaned against the wall as her phone charged. A book was in her hands.
"Light reading?" Takahashi sat down next to the girl. He wore grey sweats with a white hoodie. "Romance, really?"
"Hey! The Selection series is good."
Takahashi laughed, "So I'm guessing you've read it before."
"How much you want to bet they end up dating?" Mori asked Makki.
The guard shrugged, "500 yen, I think she's going to date Terushima."
"The volleyball guy? No way."
Noel, Cho, and the other third years of the boys team joined in on the bet.
Time passed as Date Tech had arrived. Their bags were set on their side as they balled up. The game wasn't for another two hours so both teams had time to do whatever.
"I don't understand how you could read so much." Takahashi was now laying his head on her lap as he read the first book. (Y/N) was reading the final book. "But I see why you like these books."
"I told you they were good."
"DOG PILE!" (LOL I KEPT SPELLING DOG AS GOD AND- THAtS NoT cOrReCt)
And suddenly both Johzenji teams were on top of the two.
- - -
Takahashi could see more reasons why (L/N) was somewhat known to be emotionless. When she played, her face was blank. No emotion showed whatsoever.
Both Johzenji teams won.
"You know you're going to get sick if you don't put a jacket on." The red head spoke as he stood with his friend outside. The wind blew at them, sending shivers down her spine.
(Y/N) smiled, "I know."
The two walked down the familiar path they took to go home. It was a bit of a longs way before (Y/N) would reach her home and Takahashi didn't want her to freeze. He took his hoodie off and handed it to her. She tried to refuse but the boy didn't give up. Sighing, she put the hoodie on.
He smelt like a coffee shop.
When (Y/N) reached her house, she gave Takahashi a kiss on the cheek before going inside. The male's blush basically glowed in the darkness.
- - -
"Takahashi-Kun!" (Y/N) called out, jogging through the hallways. A familiar white hoodie in her arms.
Terushima and his friends were nearby, as Takahashi's locker was near his.
"Thank you for lending me your hoodie!" She handed it back to the male.
Takahashi smiled, "Of course."
Classes went on as normal. It passed in a blink of an eye for Terushima. Now it was the end of the day, the sun was about to set. Practice just ended.
"Bye Makki!" He heard his favorite voice, (Y/N)'s.
"(L/N)-Chan!" The male jumped, getting her attention. The female saw him and jogged over. He noticed the sweat that dripped down her face. Practice must have been difficult for her.
"Hey Terushima!" She lifted her bag over her shoulder, yawning.
"Tired?" He asked. Terushima never really got tired at night, he was always so energetic at night.
(Y/N) nodded, "Long day."
"I'll walk you home."
The two walked down the route (Y/N) always took, talking about whatever came to their mind. Terushima noticed how much the girl was yawning. Seriously, no one yawns five times in like two minutes.
"Get on." He crouched down. Unlike (Y/N), Terushima kept his bag at school and would bring his dirty stuff home during the lunch period.
The girl opened her mouth to argue but a yawn came out instead. She climbed on, feeling the male stand up and starting to walk. She rested her head on his shoulder, slowly falling into a deep slumber.
Bonus:
"You're so cute when you're asleep!" Terushima exclaimed.
"Shut it," (Y/N) punched him, "you creep."
"They argue like an old married couple." All their friends had agreed to that statement.
