You had come over to Hitoka's house to advise her with being a Volleyball manager. Seeing as you were the manager for the Basketball team of another school, she wanted some help.

Your mother and Hitoka's mother were coworkers and great friends, so your mother often let you go over to her house, and vice versa.

This 'Manager Help' think had been going on for a few weeks, and you had an okay idea on what everyone's status was and how they worked. However, you weren't the most knowledgeable in volleyball, but Hitoka's answered any questions.

The one person you loved hearing about from her was Yamaguchi Tadashi. You admired his effort and what he did to do his best. You wanted to go to one of Karasuno's practices really badly, and you were considering getting someone else to fill you in.

A few days later, you and Hitoka walk into Karasuno's gym.

"Minna, this is my friend, (First Name) (Last Name). She's just here to help me out with managing."

Immediately, two of the guys, one shave headed and the other short player sped over to you.

"Ohayo, cute lady! My name is Tanaka Ryuunosuke!"
"My name is Nishinoya Yuu!"

You remember Hitoka telling you about the two, and grinned at their enthusiasm. "Hey, I'm (Last Name)."

The two players get pulled back by who you assumed was the captain, and he apologized for their actions. You said you didn't mind, and then the other manager came.

"I'm Shimizu Kiyoko. Hitoka has told me about you." Shimizu tells you.

"Yeah, I'm (Last Name). Hi-chan has told me a lot about you, as well." You reply.

They then start their routines, and notice a certain player 12. You nudge Hitoka. "Hmm?" She asked.

"Is that Yamaguchi Tadashi?" You inquire quietly.

"Oh yeah, the one you like? That's him." Hitoka replies quite loudly. The boys had heard it all and started conversation.

"IT'S OBVIOUSLY ME!"
"NO, ITS ME!"
"(Last Name) wouldn't like either of you. She's obviously into me."

The captain shut them all up and got them back to practicing. You thought about what had happened, feeling a little flustered inside. But, you put those thoughts aside and watched them practice.

Watching the practice was amazing. Seeing Kage-whatshisface and Hi-something work together looked epic. But, that wasn't your main focus. You watched the effort Yamaguchi put in. You saw his attempts at the Jump Float serve, and even if he didn't make it, you could see the determination in his eyes dull ever so slightly. You felt a small pang in your heart.

So, after practice, you approached the 12th player.

"You're (Last Name), right?" He inquires, and you grin.

"Yeah. I just wanted to say that, Hitoka has told me a lot about you, and seeing you play today made my day." You said to him, and you noticed pink dust onto his cheeks.

"R-Really?" The freckled boy replied. You smiled a little wider and nodded. His eyes widened, and you noticed a grin grow onto his face.

"You should come to our practices more often. I think Yachi needs some more help managing." He scratches the back of his head, while you internally screeched. You knew he was trying to get you to come over more often.

"Yeah, I'll definitely come! See you later, Yamaguchi-kun!"

"You too, (Last Name)-chan!"

and that's how you two met.
