Twenty-Six | 二十六

It was early morning in Miyagi and the warm air lightly batted my skin as I raced briskly towards Karasuno. Summer was just around the corner standing by for June to peek its head out but, spring pursued to stay a little longer for the Miyagi's Inter-high Preliminaries.

They're actually closer than anyone could have imagined. The boys only have a few more practices at training camp before their practice match against Nekoma High, which deadlines on the sixth of May. A wave of unease crashed onto my shoulders and a nervous smile pulled on my lips as I walked through the gates of the school. "Come now [Y-n], You know that they're ready" I tried to calm myself but I couldn't help but feel as If I was letting a baby bird out of its nest.

I walked into class and caught eyes with Manami. She beamed and waved to me as I made my way over to her, relaxing in my seat as she turned to face me. "You're looking a lot stronger lately. You've gained some color back to your face," Manami complimented, and I pressed my fingers to my cheek from her observation. "Really? The boys are pretty adamant that I don't strain myself doing anything, so I presume that would be why. " A chuckle passed through my lips.

"Speaking of which-" Manami wiggled her thin eyebrows towards me and tilted my head in confusion. "You're in a volleyball club full of gorgeous guys who are totally your type!" Manami exclaimed, and I sighed and smirked at her.

"And what is my type, specifically?" I queried her declaration, and she hesitated for a second before placing her hand on my shoulder and giving me a thumbs up.

"Tall boys"

"Manami"

"Yes?"

"How high are your standards" I ask her and she continued to smile at me and gave me another thumbs up "Rock bottom but, that just means that I'll love someone for who they are no matter who they are" She explained quickly and immense worry grew for her. "There are so many weirdos out there, please rethink your standards" I begged, and she laughed nervously "Don't even worry, Everything's all under control".

I gently hit the top of her head and she quickly reached up to the place my hand was moments ago. "What's that for?" she gave a slight pout and I returned a small grin. " Knocking some sense into you". She crunched her nose and looked away from me. " If anyone here needs some sense knocked into them, it's you," she playfully retorted back "Eh? really? How so?" My interest peaked, and she faced me again.

"When are you gonna realize your feelings for Tsukishima or Oikawa?" I almost gagged on the air in my lungs as I basically climbed over my desk and kept my hands over her mouth. "Geeze! Manami, not so loud-" My face blazed as I looked around to check if anyone heard her. To my relief, everyone was in their own groups chatting blissfully unaware.

I could feel Manami's cheeks rise as she grinned devilishly under my hands. "How did you know?" I whisper and moved my hands from her face. "Please, How could I not? I'd throw up if you goo-goo eyed them anymore than you already have been. It's been like that since the first day if practice with the boys" despite the rude presentation, she seemed excited as she whispered quietly back "This is so embarrassing-" I groaned as I buried my face into my hands. 

"It's okay! They're guys, they wouldn't be able to tell you like them if you threw a brick at them that said 'Hey, I [Y-n] like you guys more than friends, let's date' " reassuringly she patted my shoulder and I scooted my hands so that I can lean my head on them. "I don't know Manami, When I see Tsukishima he always gives me this shitty face and it feels like all we do is fight" I could feel dark clouds loom around my head as I depressingly shared "And what about Oikawa?" she asked and I let out a sigh 'He's handsome and we share a lot of the same interest, gets along with my parents well, he treats me like a princess but I don't know. We've known each other since we were kids and I can't help but think of the little kid he was. "I further elaborated on what I felt.
