AVOID

There is so much to think about as you follow Shimizu senpai to the gym. Are the volleyball boys cute? Will they be scary? What does a club manager do exactly? What kind of people will be there? Are they good at volleyball? Will I make friends? Is the other first year manager girl nice?

Your brain is tired. You realize you're finally in front of the gym doors. You hear balls hitting the floor, squeaking shoes, and people yelling. You get extreme butterflies. A group of BOYS looking at you and talking to you. This is so much to handle, and it's only the first day. You were touching your hair and moving a lot throughout the day, so your makeup probably smudged or came off a little bit, and your hair is probably not as tidy. You run your fingers through your (hair color) hair and wiped your under eyes quickly.

Shimizu senpai goes in first. She slides open the creaky gray doors. She motions with her hand to follow. You stand slightly behind her, but you don't look down. You want a good look.

"Hi everyone, this is another first year who is considering to be a manager for our team. I asked her to join us for todays practice."

She moves out of the way so that I'm completely exposed to the group.

They are all crowded, along with two teachers who you assume are the coaches.

"H-hello, I'm (last name, first name), and I'm a first year. It's nice to meet you all." You bow.

They all bow back.

"Nice to meet you!"

A blonde, really cute girl approaches you.

"Hi! I'm Yachi Hitoka, and I'm also a first year who's decided to train for being a manager of the volleyball team next year! Nice to meet you!" She smiles, and you greet her back.

She's so nice.

A few guys gather around you: one with a kind of scary face and black hair, a really kind looking one with gray hair and a cute little mole under his eye, and a charming and energetic looking one next to him. Then more join them. You kind of scan all the faces and see...OH MY GOD. Tsukishima, the boy I apparently was staring at too much during class. NO! NO NO NO NONO MY LIFE IS SO UNFORTUNATE WHY IS IT THE WAY IT IS STOP I HATE THIS SO MUCH NO.

"Seriously? That's awesome!"

"Nice job, Shimizu senpai!"

Your eyes widen and you immediately turn around. Shit. This is embarrassing why is he here? You can feel your face start to burn up. It was already a little red from being nervous because you were meeting everyone, but this just made it one hundred percent worse. You try to breathe and quickly turn back around. You try to smile, actively avoiding eye contact with him.

A towering old...man?? with a beard bends down and asks, "You're a first year?"

Woah, scary.

"U-Uh yes."

"Asahi, back up a bit."

You see the kind looking boy from your class approach you. You didn't expect he would be in this club too. Tsukishima trailing behind him.

"Hello! I'm Yamaguchi Tadashi, and I think we're in the same class. Nice to meet you!" he rubs his neck with a small smile.

"It's nice to meet you too! I hope we can be friends in this club!"

Your eyes dart to Tsukishima, but he's looking away to the side.

You look to your left because you can sense eyes on you. Behind the gray haired guy, two people were giving you crazy stares. One bald, and one with spiky hair next to him.
