"You're so smart, Yoshikami-san! You'll definitely get first place on the midterm exam!" "Why don't any of you follow Yoshikami-kun's example? She hasn't failed in a single subject." "I'm so proud to have you as my daughter, Hoshi!"
Words of praise were always sent her way when it concerned her genius mind. They were always nice to her when it came to studies, always asking for help, being kind to the smart student. They were envious.
Fucking liars.
"Huh? You want to play volleyball?" "Impossible, you're too short!" "I guess you can be the libero...wait, you want to be a spiker? Haha, you are really funny, Yoshikami-san!" "That's just a pipe dream, stop running after false hope, Yoshikami."
But when it was about volleyball, they were always so negative. Saying it was a waste of her talent to become a volleyball player when her genius mind can be of use somewhere else. And all it was because she was born short. Even though she was already sixteen, she was still 5'2 and only had grown a centimeter tall the past year.
What? Did you really think she'd be like that energetic, bundle of positive energy that goes by the name of Hinata Shouyo? No, she was the opposite of him.
Yoshikami Hoshi has always hated the fact that she was born short. And it was for that same reason why she can't even play volleyball. Her outlook on life had always been pessimistic, so why change now? And to add to all the shit that's been happening in her life, her shitty parents sent her to Shiratorizowa High known for their famous volleyball team. All because that same school was also known for raising genius minds.
She hated it.
To top it off, Ushijima Wakatoshi, the volleyball player who was born with it all, went to the same school. Always composed and smart.
It was unfair. It was freaking unfair.
"I hate volleyball."
