Monday 4:34 PM

(Y/N) stood on the side as the volleyball team began taking their break. She was going through the photos she had taken, deleting a few that she didn't like.

This isn't enough photos.

She took in a sharp breath, she had been so nervous that majority of the pictures didn't come out as planned. (Y/N) mentally scolded herself, trying to focus.

"Hey! Can I look at the photos?"

A loud voice brought her out of her thoughts. She glanced up and saw a much taller boy looking over her, startled, (Y/N) stumbled backwards.

"Lev, you scared her." A much quieter voice exclaimed from the side. He had longer hair that was dyed blonde and it reminded (Y/N) of a pudding cup.

"Ah, sorry! My name is Haiba Lev." Lev explained,"You can call me Lev, though!" He continued. (Y/N) was taken aback by his excitement.

"O-Oh, I'm (L/N) (Y/N)." She replied, much more nervous. In panic, her brain became blank and she didn't know what to say next.

You can do it! Just talk!

"Can I see the photos?" Lev asked again, his excitement never ending.

"Y-Yeah, sorry." (Y/N) apologized, she carefully handed the camera over to the taller boy, teaching him what buttons to press to go through different photos.

"Woah! Guys look!" Lev exclaimed, rushing over to the rest of the group. (Y/N) froze in place as she watched Lev leave with her camera.

My camera.

Before she could react, Kai gestured for her to come over to the large group. The girl took in a deep breath before walking over to them.

It's okay, Kai is over there.

Approaching the group, all attention was suddenly placed on her. (Y/N) stood a bit behind Kai, still a bit scared of the team.

"Your photos look very nice." Kuroo complimented, hoping to get her attention.

"Yeah! You even made Yaku look taller." Lev commented, earning a kick from Yaku.

"Stupid." Yaku muttered under his breath.

"T-Thank you. But they're not that good." (Y/N) replied, mumbling the last part. Kai pat her back, forcing her a bit more forward.

"Eh? These are pretty good though." Lev retorted.

"Give yourself some more credit, (L/N)." The pudding head commented.

"T-Thanks, uh," She paused, realizing that she didn't know most of their names,"...what are your names?" (Y/N) asked quietly.

"Oh, sorry, (L/N)." Kuroo apologized,"Let's introduce ourselves." He continued, making the volleyball players introduce themselves one bye one.

"Kenma."

"Fukunaga."

"I'm Inuoka So. Nice to meet you!"

"I'm Yamamoto T-Taketora."

"I'm Teshiro Tamahiko."

"S-Shinayama."

"And I'm Kuroo Tetsuro."

Monday 6:11 PM

(Y/N) sighed as she glanced over at the time. After she had taken pictures of volleyball team she had returned to find out that one of the other files had become corrupt, meaning she had to redo the entire edit. So she ended up staying late once again to try and redo everything.

I need to go home.

Quickly, she put her coat on and swung her bag onto her shoulder. Slowly, she made her way out, making sure she locked the club room door.

It's so dark already.

After a few moments, (Y/N) made it to her shoe locker where she swiftly changed her shoes. As she did this, she didn't hear the boisterous group that was also approaching the entrance.

"(Y/N)?"

Startled, (Y/N) almost fell over. She turned around and saw a hand full of the volleyball players. They had changed back into their regular uniforms and was just on their way out.

"You're still here?" Kai asked.

"Y-Yeah, something went wrong and I had to fix it." (Y/N) replied.

"Let me walk you home then." Kai exclaimed, making (Y/N) shake her head.

"We don't walk in the same direction. I don't want to bother y-you." (Y/N) exclaimed,"Plus the train station isn't that far from here." She continued.

"I can walk you." Kuroo suddenly offered, making everyone stare at him. Especially, (Y/N) who's heart seemed to stop working.

Is this what I get for staying late?

"I mean we, w-we can walk you home." Kuroo corrected himself.

"Yeah! We also go that way." Lev agreed, making (Y/N) slowly nod her head. They needed to go to the station anyways, so she had no reason to reject them or it'd be very awkward. She stood at the entrance, waiting for the boys to change their shoes and then they were on their way.

(Y/N) was relieved when she realized that there would be six of them walking together. She thought for a minute she'd be alone with Kuroo.

"(L/N)-senpai!" Lev called out, making her to turn. The taller boy walked along side her, slowing his pace down to match hers.

"S-Senpai?" She stammered.

"You're a third year, no?" Lev questioned.

"O-Oh, yeah, I am." (Y/N) replied, flustered.

"I didn't know you walked this way too." Lev commented.

"Uh, I usually don't stay this late. I lost track of time today." (Y/N) explained,"Plus, I help my teachers out a bit after school when I don't have club." She continued.

"Wow, (L/N)-senpai. You do a lot." Lev exclaimed,"Senpai, Kai told me-

"Y-You can call me (Y/N) or just drop the honorifics." (Y/N) interrupted, not used to being called by her last name. Only teachers really did that.

"Eh? But I'm a first year." Lev exclaimed.

"Its okay." She reassured, watching as his eyes lit up.

"Really? Ehhh, you're so much nicer than Yaku. He's always hitting me, you should be careful around him." He commented, making (Y/N) let out a small laugh.

"Oh, oh! Kai said you were the President of the Photography club." Lev exclaimed.

"I'm t-the only third year. So I became it by default." (Y/N) explained.

"Still, it must be a lot of work." The first year muttered, making (Y/N) nod her head.

"It is sometimes," (Y/N) paused,"but I like it a lot, so it works out." She continued. A smile appeared on Lev's face as he heard her explanation. It reminded him of his love for volleyball.

"Wow, senpai, you're really cool." Lev exclaimed.

"H-Huh?" She stammered, confused. The pair continued to chat, which was mostly Lev asking her a bunch of questioned, which didn't go unnoticed by the others who were walking in the back.

"Seems like they're getting along." Yaku commented.

"Eh? How is Lev getting so close to her?" Yamamoto complained.

"Well, maybe if you approached her, you could become friends with her too." Yaku retorted, crossing his arms. Yamamoto sighed, not able to work up enough confidence. Meanwhile, Kuroo was staring at them intensely, baffled by how quickly Lev was able to make a connection.

But I did the same thing....didn't I?
