"(Y/N)!"
When you walked through the open door of the gymnasium, you expected to go unnoticed. The boys were practicing and the coaches were on the bench, so you were confident that no one would see you. Lev, however, did, and before you could register in your brain that he was running full speed ahead of you, both you and the air in your lungs were knocked out on the floor.
"LEV! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING! HELP! HER! UP!" Yaku was screaming at the younger boy from the other side of the gymnasium and you couldn't help but let out a small chuckle when Lev profusely apologized as he got you on your feet. At this point you were sure that the whole team was aware of your company, so you waved and those who wore gloomy expressions (due the being in there since the morning) immediately brightened up.
The first person to greet you properly was none other than Coach Nekoma. He chuckled a bit to himself as you were dusting yourself off. "I see Nekoma's sweetheart has decided to pay us a visit once again."
You blushed a bit at his comment before waving your hand in front of you.
"I haven't been here long enough to earn that title."
"You've been here for more than a month. I think that's enough time." You smiled towards him and thanked him as he offered you a seat next to him and Coach Naoi. "Boys, head out and run. I have to go over some notes with Naoi." A loud "Yes Sir!" resounded throughout the whole gymnasium and almost immediately all the boys were gone. You felt awkward as you were in between both coaches who were passing their notes to each other. Then they redirected their attention to you and Coach Nekomata was the first one to place his notes in your hand before Coach Naoi followed in suit.
"What do you think of the rotation positions for this practice? Coach Naoi says to change Kuroo from his previous position, but I think we could keep him right where he is."
You looked at the positions of the players and it seemed to make sense for the current match. If the players were to stay in their current spots then it wouldn't affect the team as much because from what you understood (and from what Tsubaki had told you), the guys were all flexible no matter where they are. You were going to agree with Coach Nekomata when another thought crossed your head.
What about their rotation?
"I believe Coach Naoi is right," you paused for a second to see their expressions, which were neutral, so you continued. "If you were to think about the rotation of the team, it's possible that the line up at the front can be thrown off course and although the players are flexible, it'll probably take them a bit to adjust. By changing the spots, you're slowly adjusting the players into their spots and the pace of the game compared to throwing them in all at once." (A/N: idk wtf i'm typing)
Coach Nekomata nodded his head at your explanation and Coach Naoi seemed proud of your analysis. The doors to the gymnasium opened and in came the boys, sweating and tired.
"(L/N)-san, do you mind me asking, have you joined a club?" You responded "no" at Coach Naoi's question and he nodded in understanding.
"I came to Nekoma a month after the school year started, so the principal told me that it was possible that not many clubs were open for new members. Also it's been at least a month since I came, so I'm not sure if there even are clubs available."
Coach Nekomata let out a laugh from the bottom of his stomach before patting you on the head. "Well today's your lucky day, you passed our test."
Huh?
"(L/N)-san, how would you like to be the manager of the volleyball team?"
You looked at Coach Nekomata with wide eyes and before you could comprehend what had happened, the most inhuman noise came out of your mouth.
"HUH?!"

"I put Scooby Doo to shame..."
When you told your dad what had happened today, instead of telling you that it's ok and there's nothing to be ashamed about, he laughed at you. In front of you.
"Dad! I'm telling you the most embarrassing thing that happened to me and all you can do is laugh?! This is why no one laughs at your jokes..."
He put his hand over his chest and faked being hurt before sending you a kiss (which you aggressively flicked away).
"Honey, no one laughs at my jokes because they don't think like I do. If they did then I'd be a comedian and not the vice-chairman of the country's biggest fashion brand." You sighed in defeat and leaned back into the sofa as your dad cooed at you.
"What do you think I should do? I'd like to, but I don't know if I'm up for it. Also, my modeling schedule has been moved to weekends, so I'm not sure how that'll work out..."
You dad looked at you before taking hold of your hand, his way of comforting you.
"Do what you want. I'll admit, when Misaki told me about your little escapade I was ready to leave the office, but then I remembered a few things. Your mom would yell at me and the fact that you're old enough to make decisions and take responsibility for them.
Besides, you don't know if your up for the job if you don't take it. When I first hired Misaki, she didn't think she'd make it with her designs, but she's worked on a few projects and she's amazing. I haven't told her, but she'll be making her debut as a designer really soon."
You looked at your dad. He had a genuine smile stretched across his face and you couldn't help but mirror it.
"I'll consider it, but I won't say yes just yet."
"I'm glad kiddo, just remember that if any of those boys try something, call your brother."
You both sat in silence for a few minutes and you felt yourself doze off when your dad suddenly jumped up from his spot on the couch and ran towards the kitchen.
"I forgot the pizza in the oven!"

The next few days at Nekoma were interesting.
First you were greeted with a bag of mini marshmallows in your locker and you asked your locker neighbor if they saw anyone put it in here, to which they replied no.
Next, when you took out your bento at lunch, you saw that your box had been completely switched out and instead of the leftovers from last night's dinner, it was a much better meal that would've definitely sustained you for the rest of the day. You asked the girls if they had somehow gotten a hold of your lunch and all they could do was reply no. Nanami on the other hand, hid her smile behind her hand as she knew exactly who your other bento box was with.
At the end of the day, you were met face to face with a melon popsicle in your locker and it was at this point where you were really starting to worry.
"Aren't you gonna eat it?"
You jumped at the sudden voice and quickly turned around. You were met with Lev towering over you.
"Well, I'm not sure. It was randomly put in my shoe locker, and you know what they say 'don't eat things if you don't know where they came from'."
Lev was the frowned before he snatched your popsicle from you and opened it. You let out a small whine in protest and was going to scold Lev, when your mouth went cold.
He put the popsicle in your mouth.
"See, it came out of the wrapper, totally safe to eat."
You flushed at his bold moves, but opted to stay silent and eat the melon flavored treat. Lev was definitely right when he said that it came from the wrapper.
