Today is the first day of classes, the opening ceremony was probably the most boring thing in the world, finding your class and talking to the basketball coach with Akashi riveting stuff but it's now the day your high school life begins. As you stand in the mirror for a final once over, to make sure every pleat is in place, you think ok all you have to do is be normal and not analyze every situation to death ready break once you've done your clothes check and mini pep-talk you grab a piece of toast and out the door you go. Your apartment wasn't too far away from the school so you just walk, while humming a tuneless song.
As you stand in front of the school you are bombarded with students wanting you to join their club for one reason or another but you politely decline because your skills have been "requested" elsewhere. I wonder where Akashi is? you think while avoiding the droves of people. You thankfully make it to your class and take your seat.
Take a seat towards the middle next to the window while looking out of the window daydreaming, you hear a fairly energetic "Ohayo!" you turn to see an adorable girl who takes the seat next to you, "O-Ohayo," being polite you also introduce yourself "I'm Koneko Fujioka, nice to meet you" a smile forming on your lips as you finish. "I'm Erika Shinohara; it's nice to meet you too". You two became fast friends and a beautiful friendship begins.
The day is super uninteresting mostly because you were staring out the window in all of your classes, lunch is pretty mundane you know typical first day. Now it's the end of the day and you are searching for the gym looking like a first year, "what are you doing?" Akashi asks appearing seemingly out of nowhere, "holy fuuuuuudge, you scared me Akashi-kun" nice save you would have been in big trouble if you dropped the F bomb. He raises an eyebrow at your save but chooses to ignore it, "the gym is this way follow me" he turns and begins to walk away, geez how did he know where I was? You follow behind him deep in thought until he stops in front of the gym and you bump into him. He glances back at you "hehe gomen" you say rubbing the back of your neck, "pay attention" he says annoyedly (not even sure if that's a word) and enters the gym, "that was close" you say with a sigh of relief.
You take a deep breath and walk into the gym and there is a collective head turn and you in become the center of attention well this isn't awkward at all you think, when you are approached by a very happy kind of cat like boy "hello pretty girl, I am Kotaro Hayama, what might your name be?" he asked while grabbing your hand and shaking it furiously, you sweat drop "I..I'm Koneko Fujiokak, I'm go..going to be the manager; i..it's nice t..to meet y..you" you sputter out between being shaken half to death "aaahhh so we received an adorable kitten as our manager, I'm looking forward to working with you" he says causing you to blush. While trying to not turn bright red, a murderous aura starts to come from behind Hayama, oh this is not going to end well is it you think.
Akashi inserts himself between the two of you and shoots Hayama a glare, and if looks could kill he would be beyond dead. "oh I see, I didn't mean to approach you girlfriend in such a manner, accept my deepest apology." Hayama says while walking back to the team, "I'm actually not…" you start while blushing madly but Akashi turns to you causing you to immediately straighten up and not look too pitiful but you refuse to look at his face. "look at me" he ordered, reluctantly you do and almost have a heart attack because the glare he is giving you sends chills down your spine, "what do you think you're doing, I asked you to accompany me for your analytical skills not be some hormone driven distraction" he says harshly, "but all I did was walk in the door" you say pouting, look away, with your arms crossed and slightly irritated that he got mad at you even though you knew it was coming. "Don't let it happen again or I will punish you" he said without a second thought, he turns to head back to the team meeting that you somehow interrupted "ya, ya I got it" you mumble continuing to pout but following behind him.
Once you reach the team the coach introduced you to the team "this is the new manager, Koneko Fujioka and her analytical skills will be key to this team so treat her with respect." At the end of his little speech you bow and say "I look forward to working with you all" with a smile just so you don't look too nervous. All of the player introduce themselves and you write them down in your notes of the team so that when you analyze their skills you won't be confused.
And with that the first practice commences.
