It was the last day of camp and [Name] couldn't help but think about last night. As she cut some apples and oranges for the guys, her mind drifted off about his comment that made her blood boil. 'What other reason do you need in order to play?'

The girl loved to play and the sense of being part of something. The adrenaline pumping through her veins. It was the rush. Aside from not doing well with overhand serves, she made a powerful underhand serve.

Her tosses and passes were stable and consistent, the girl was well- known around the other clubs in her area. Suddenly, a sharp cool metal sliced her finger.

"Oh-" She mumbled out as she looked at her bleeding finger.

"[Name], are you okay?" Kyoko asked, rushing to the girl's side.

"I- I'm fine." The blood continued to drip as [Name] went to go to the sink.

Tsukishima watched as the girl rushed to the back. "I hope it isn't bad." Yamaguchi commented, looking at the girl, as well.

"Tch, she's such an airhead." Rolling his eyes, he grabbed a small amount of food and turned, finding a place to sit. 'I hope it isn't bad, too.'

Thankfully, [Name] was fine as she put on a band-aid, excusing herself to go and walk outside. The sun beamed as a soft, cool, breeze wiped her face as she walked on top of a hill, the grass swaying with the win.

Laying down, she looked at the blue hue, the cloud slowly moving to another destination. She couldn't help but reach up, tracing the cloud with her injured finger.

"You're too short, you can't reach the clouds." A voice startled her, bringing her out of her trance. She didn't have to get up, because she knew the voice all too well. "Tsukishima."

"[Name]." Her name rolled off his tongue, smoothly.

"Why are you here?" She felt his presence as he laid beside her, a small space between them.

"Why? Last time I checked, this isn't your place, either." Ignoring his comment, she decided to hum a song.

"I can't answer your question."

Turning over to look at him, his hand covered his eyes, blocking out the sun as he continued to look at the sky.

"Then find a reason." She replied, sitting up. "You should get going, you need to warm up."

Standing up, the blonde looked back her. His hair tousled in the slight breeze. His fair skin glistened with slight sweat.

"I'll see you later, then." Making his way down the hill.

After a few moments, she made her way down the slope. 'I need to prepare for the barbecue.'

It was a game against Fukurodani. Bokuto seemed upset as he looked at the volleyball, in disdain. As Bokuto told Akaashi, not to give him a ball, the setter followed his word and gave the ball to Washio and the other team mates.

[Name] looked at the team and smiled. 'It isn't Bokuto who inspires everyone to play, it's the team mates! They're the ones who hype up Bokuto.'

The girl chuckled, watching the intense game. It was a tie. 22- 22. Asahi jumped, spiking past the two- person block. Komi received the ball as he passed it to Akaashi, he began to run, everyone already assuming a center spike.

As Tsukishima and Kageyama continued to think about the possible attack, they didn't notice the ball slipping onto their court. 'Akaashi did a dump!'
