Part 3: Chapter 21

"(NICKNAME)-CHAN!!"

You winced as Michiko's scream echoed throughout the class. You readied yourself as Michiko came running towards you at full force, her arms outstretched - ready to embrace you.

How she manages not to trip over all the tables and chairs present you'll never know.

"I miss you so much! You've no idea how lonely I was during the summer holiday!" Michiko sobbed, being the drama queen that she was.

You let out a sigh as you patted her back, saying. "We just saw each other yesterday, Mi-chan. Stop being so melodramatic."

Michiko let out a gasp as she stumbled backwards, clutching her heart as though you've wounded her. "I can't believe you said that. I thought we were best friends! Waaa! You've broken my heart! I hate you, (full name)!"

With that, Michiko ran out of the classroom - her cries echoing down the hallway. You simply rolled your eyes as you made your way to your seat. You greeted your classmates with a smile, happy to back in school after the long summer break. Sure, it was fun while it lasted. However, you always have the most fun in school - surrounded by your friends.

"You're such a bad friend, Munchkin. If this is how you're gonna keep treating your friends, you're gonna become lonely."

Your brows twitched in annoyance at the familiar voice, turning around to face Tsukishima who was reading. You slammed the book down, causing the blonde to glare at you. "Says the one who only has one friend. Besides, Mi-chan is just being dramatic. Once she gets bored, she'll come right back and annoy the hell out of me."

"I'm amazed that she hasn't left you yet with the way how you treat her." Tsukishima gave you a smirk which left you boiling in anger.

Suddenly, an idea popped into your mind. You took a deep breath to calm down before looking at Tsukishima with a shy look, your cheeks a rosy pink. "That's not true, I have the volleyball team who have become close friends of mine. Even if everyone I know abandons me, I'll still have you by my side until the end. After all, you promise me."

The blond eyes widened in surprise, completely taken aback by your words. Tsukishima felt his heart racing as butterflies fluttered in his stomach. The way how you looked now brought him back to the night of the festival - the promise that the two of you made that will last forever.

I'm glad that you wished the same thing as I did. So, promise me that you'll stay by my side forever.

I promise.

You're grinning in joy internally at the fact that your words made the middle blocker all shock and flustered. However, you weren't prepared for what came out of Tsukishima's mouth.

"And I'm gonna keep that promise until you're no longer on this earth. Even if I'm to leave before you do, I'll watch you from above until you joined me - by my side."

Now it was your turn for butterflies to emerge in your stomach, creating a storm. Tsukishima's eyes have changed from molten gold to warm honey as he showed you his rare small - the kind that leaves you wanting more. The world melted away, leaving the two of you in your own bubble.

It left you feeling warm and safe, wishing that this moment will last forever.

Sadly, nothing last forever.

"If the two of you are done staring at one another so lovingly, I'll like to start the lesson."

The volleyball idiots snapped out of it, returning to reality at the voice of their homeroom teacher. Yukino raised her brows in amusement, a smirk on her face. "So, when will the two of you get together so that I get on with the lesson and not having to interrupt you two every single time?"

Both of your faces became so red that it put tomatoes to shame as the class burst into laughter.

"You got it wrong, Yukino-sensei! You must be crazy to think that I wanna be together with string bean here!" You protested, your eyes widened in horror at the thought of being in a relationship with Tsukishima.

"Tch, who wants to date this munchkin? They must be mentally unstable if they ever have such thought." Tsukishima gave you a disgusted look.

When you heard Tsukishima's words, you turned to face him - pointing a finger at his face angrily. "Hey! I'll have you know that guys will die to date me! Stupid Tsukkisaurus!"

Tsukishima's lips curled into a smirk, saying. "They must be invisible or non-existent because I clearly don't see any guy fighting for your hand. Besides, I think they rather die than being together with you."

At this point, you're boiling with anger and embarrassment. However before World War 3 could start, Yamaguchi piped in innocently. "But Tsukki, don't you like her?"

Immediately all laughter died down as everyone stared at Yamaguchi with blank looks, leaving the green-haired boy lost. Yamaguchi glanced around the room in confusion, wondering why was his childhood friend glaring at him while his volleyball assistant coach refused to meet anyone eyes.

"Yamaguchi, shut up!" Tsukishima hissed as his eyes narrowed, his ears a bright red.

"Oh, sorry Tsukki." Yamaguchi apologized, a sheepish look on his face when he realized his mistake.

Meanwhile, your head was downcast - your hair covering your face as you're too embarrassed to meet anyone eyes. Your hand clenched your chest as your heart beat like crazy, thinking to yourself. "Kei-kun likes me? He actually likes me?"

Despite feeling second-hand embarrassment from Yamaguchi's words, you're smiling to yourself - happy at the fact that the middle blocker might return your feelings.

On the other hand, Tsukishima was fuming mad at the fact that Yamaguchi just revealed his feelings to you to the entire class. He glanced sideways to see your reaction, but unfortunately, your hair was in the way. The first year also felt nervous, wondering if you feel the same way.

Luckily for him, your best friend answered his burning curiosity.

"That's great news! (Nickname)-chan just so happens to like him too. Now, the both of you can get together and save us the trouble of working our asses off to set sail our ship." Michiko clapped her hands in delight, a giant grin on her face.

Upon hearing Michiko's words, your head lifted up so fast that it almost came off. (e/c) eyes widened in horror as you quickly denied what your best friend said. "MI-CHAN! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TOO ME?!"

"I DON'T LIKE YOU, KEI-KUN! MI-CHAN IS LYING, IGNORE HER!" This time round you faced Tsukishima, desperation written all over your face.

Tsukishima's eyes widened slightly before scowling. "Good, it'll save me the trouble since I don't feel the same either."

Everyone in the class gasped in horror, not expecting Tsukishima to say that. Excitement turned to disappointment at the fact that their no. 1 ship had just sunk right in front of their eyes.

"Okay, there's enough drama for one day. Moving on people." Yuchiko clapped her hands to get everyone's attention who grudgingly took out their notebooks and stationery, ready for lessons to start.

You took your stuff and lay them on your desk, thankful that you're sitting in front of Tsukishima so that he can't see your pink cheeks. You turned to glare at Michiko who simply winked back for her earlier actions, mouthing the words "You're dead".

You love her to death, but sometimes she can be too much.

As your teacher began teaching, your mind drifted to what happened earlier on. A frown settled on your face when you remembered that Tsukishima denied the fact that he liked you after you told him that you didn't harbour any feelings for the blonde out of embarrassment and panic.

Suddenly, something hit you at the back of your head. You turned around to glare at Tsukishima, but he was looking outside the window - barely paying attention to class. You're about to face the front when you noticed a piece of crumpled up paper lying on the floor, next to your chair.

Bending down to pick up the paper, you smoothed it out and wondered if anything is written on it. To your surprise, there was something written on it. You recognized the handwriting immediately, a smile appearing on your face. You folded the paper and placed in your bag, turning your attention back to your teacher.

Looks like there's nothing to worry about at all.

I wasn't looking at you when I said those words.

***

"You know you look very beautiful, did you ever thought of being mine?"

"You need to use this specific formula in order to solve the question."

"How about this? Let's get lunch together."

"Now, you need to square root 3."

"Oi, are you listening to what I'm saying?"

Your eyes twitched in anger as Kagami poked your cheek repeatedly, annoying the hell out of you.

"I'm bored." The red-haired whinnied like the five-year-old kid he was.

That's it, you had enough.

Slamming your hand down on the table which startled Kagami, your body whipped around as you glared at the male in front of you. "That's it! I've enough of you and your nonsense! Here I am taking precious time out of my lunch period to help you in your math so that you can pass the bloody exam and stay on the team! However, you're not paying attention like you should and instead just being a burden. I'm calling quits!"

Kagami was rooted to his seat, surprised by your sudden outburst. However, when he saw that you're packing away your things and getting ready to leave, he jumped out of his seat and got onto his knees, begging you not to go. "I'm sorry! Please don't go! I promise I'll stop and pay attention! Shit, I can't afford to be taken out from the team. They need me!"

You crossed your arms, eyes narrowing as you leaned down towards Kagami's face and whispered. "Do you mean what you say, carrothead-kun?"

Kagami nodded so fast that he looked like a bobblehead doll. You let out a sigh as you returned back to your seat and took your things, ready to tutor Kagami again. Surprising, Kagami was paying attention to whatever you're saying and asking questions when he was unsure about certain things. Look like your threat worked after all.

The reason why you're currently tutoring Kagami was that your homeroom teacher approached you, asking if you're willing to tutor a student who was falling behind in his studies. You immediately agreed, eager to help your fellow schoolmates. However, when you found out who you'll be tutoring, immediate regret filled you.

"(Last name)-san, do you have a moment?"

You're about to leave class to get lunch when Yukino-sensei called you over to the teacher's desk. With a smile on your face, you approached her and replied cheerfully. "Yeap! How may I help you, Yukino-sensei?"

The corners of Yukino's mouth curled upwards at the sight of your giant grin. You're one of her best students and couldn't help but think that you're made out of pure sunshine due to the smile always present on your face. Chuckling at the curious look on your face, Yukino went on. "If you don't mind, I need you to tutor a student who is falling behind in his studies. Due to his bad result in his last exam, the vice-principal told him that if he doesn't pass his next exam, he'll be taken out for the next season. His homeroom teacher has approached me asking if any of my students are available to tutor him."

An understanding look crossed your face, knowing how hard it is to juggle both your studies and club activities, especially if it's sports. You've gone through it yourself after all. So, you agreed to tutor this student.

The only thing was your teacher didn't mention who it was. Because if she has, you wouldn't have agreed in the first place.

Hence here you're now - tutoring Kagami.

"Okay, that's all for today. Is there anything you don't understand?" You asked Kagami as you packed away your stuff, done with today tutoring session.

"Nope! Thanks to you I'm able to understand math now." The red-haired replied as he stared at you, his head resting on his arm.

You rolled your eyes as you gathered everything into your arms and stood up, ready to leave the library. "Don't get too confident that fast. You still have a lot that we need to work on. Based on what I observe today, you still have a long way to go before you're able to reach my level."

"What?! Are you saying that today isn't the only day you're tutoring me?" Kagami scrambled to his feet as he chased after you who had already left the library, a look of disbelief on his face.

"Looks like you aren't as stupid as I thought you are. With the way how your grades are slipping lower and lower, you'll be kicked out of your club activity if you don't do something about. As much as you and I don't like it, you don't exactly have a choice if you wanna remain in your team." You explained as you walked along the hallway back to your class, Kagami hovering over you.

"Aww man! I hate studying!" Kagami complained as he ruffled his hair in frustration at the thought of spending his lunch period studying with you.

"Hey, I'm not looking forward to it as much as you either. But since I promised Yukino-sensei that I'll help you, I'm gonna make sure that I'll see through this promise and make you pass your math exam even if I've to come find you and drag you by the ear." You shrugged, pushing the sliding door to your classroom open.

"Maybe if you tell your sensei that after today tutoring session, you noticed that I'm actually really good at math and will be fine from here onwards. This way, you don't have to spend your lunch period with me and I'll be able to play basketball. How does that sound?" Kagami gave you a grin, thinking that you'll agree to his suggestion.

Unfortunately for him, you're not the kind of person who agrees to whatever people says just because it'll benefit them.

"I'm not gonna lie to Yukino-sensei just so that you can avoid studying and play basketball." You replied, glaring at Kagami with both your arms crossed.

"But-"

"No buts. That's final. I'll see you tomorrow at the library, same timing as today. Don't be late or I'll make sure to castrate you alive. Make sure you turn up or else I'll haunt you down myself and you do not want to meet my wrath. Trust me. Now, good day." You ignored Kagami's protest as you slammed the door shut in front of his face, leaving the shocked basketball player standing there.

You returned to your seat, letting out a tired sigh - your head resting on your desk. Who knew that tutoring Kagami would be so tiring. It felt as though your energy has been drained out of you and it's only 1 pm in the afternoon.

"You look dead."

Turning your head to the side, your cheek pressed to your desk - coming face to face with Tsukishima's blank stare. The blond raised a brow, waiting for you to say something. You simply rolled your eyes, replying sarcastically. "Thanks for stating the obvious, Captain Obvious."

Ignoring your sarcasm, Tsukishima gave you a curious look as he asked. "Where were you during lunch period?"

"Shitting."

Tsukishima simply gave you an unimpressed look, not amused by your reply.

You let out a sigh as you gave him a proper answer. "I was tutoring Carrothead-kun."

"What kind of person has a name called Carrothead?"

"Carrothead-kun himself."

You blinked as Tsukishima gave you a glare, his patience running thin.

"That look doesn't work on me. Anyway, his actual name is Kagami Taiga. You know the red-haired dude from the basketball team?"

Tsukishima stiffened when he heard the name, knowing who it was exactly. The day of the sports festival surfaced to his mind, the way how Kagami had stared at you left Tsukishima frowning and upset for some reason.

"Kei-kun, are you alright? You look tense. What's the matter?"

The middle blocker snapped out of it when he heard the concern in your voice. He glanced down, your big (e/c) eyes filled with worry staring back at him. A soft smile appeared on Tsukishima's face as he ruffled your hair gently, assuring you. "Don't worry about me. I'm fine."

You touched your head where Tsukishima ruffled your hair as you looked at him, pink appearing on your cheeks. Even though you knew that Tsukishima told you not to be worried, you still can't help but worry about him. When you mentioned Kagami, you saw the shift in Tsukishima's expression.

You noticed how Tsukishima immediately stiffened, a frown appearing on his face. There was a faraway look in his golden eyes as though he was stuck in a memory and couldn't get out of it. You also noticed his hands clenching into fists subconsciously as his frown deepen, a look of displeasure on his face.

How could you not worry about him? In fact, you have a feeling that something bad is going to happen and it involves a certain red-haired male.

However before you could think any further, Yukino-sensei entered the classroom and everyone went back to their seats - ready for class to start. Your teacher faced the whiteboard as she wrote something on it, gaining the attention of all her students. Yukino-sensei placed the marker down and faced the front, saying. "So, as many of you know it's the time of the year where most schools will be having their school festivals and Karasuno is no exception. For this year festival, the school is planning to award the best class for each level. Students are given the choice to plan their booth/activity however they like, so I'll leave the planning to everyone."

Chatters began filling the classroom as excitement buzzed in the air, everyone coming up with ideas on what Class 1-4 could do. You were no exception as you turned around to face Tsukishima who had a bored look on his face. "Kei-kun, what do you think should our class do? I'm thinking of maybe a cafe or carnival? What do you think?"

"I don't care. I've no interest in these sort of things. It's a waste of my time." Tsukishima replied monotonously.

Your mouth formed into a pout at Tsukishima's words, not believing how can anyone not get excited about such stuff. Before you could say anything to change Tsukishima's mind, Yukino-sensei clapped her hands - gaining everyone's attention. "Alright, settle down now. I know everyone is excited but before you start planning, there needs to be two representative - one male and one female. I don't care if it's voluntary or by voting, I just need two students who will be in-charge of everything."

Immediately, the class became quiet - no one wanting to be the representative. Yukino-sensei let out a sigh, knowing this would happen which left her with no choice but to select the representative herself. "Since no one wants to volunteer themselves, I'm going to choose. Don't say that I didn't give you guys the choice to choose yourself. I'll give everyone a second chance before I select myself."

You glanced around the classroom and noticed your classmates' head looking anywhere but your teacher. Looks like if no one is willing to volunteer themselves, you'll do it then. Raising your hand up, you said. "Yukino-sensei, I don't mind being one of the representatives."

Yukino gave you a nod, before addressing the rest of the class. "Now that we have a female representative thanks to (last name)-san. Now, all I need is a male representative. Does anyone want to volunteer themselves? If not, a name can be suggested and if everyone agrees, that student will be selected."

Murmurs broke out as everyone began discussing who the male representative. Michiko decided to save everyone the trouble and raised her hand, saying. "Sensei, why not get Tsukishima-san to be the male representative?"

Tsukishima's eyes widened as he lifted his head off his hand, his mouth parted in surprise when he heard his name being called. You immediately turned to glare at Michiko who simply gave you an innocent look, knowing what exactly she's doing. Meanwhile, a thoughtful look appeared on Yukino-sensei's face as she took it into consideration.

"I don't see any problem with Tsukishima-san being the male representative if there's no objection. Is everyone alright with Tsukishima-san?" Yukino replied, glancing around the classroom to see if there are any objections.

The entire of class 1-4 glanced at one another with an evil look on their faces that left a shiver running down your spine. For some reasons, you have an idea of what your classmates are planning. Seeing that no one is objecting, a smile appeared on Yukino's face as she wrote down yours and Tsukishima's names on the list. "Congratulations Tsukishima-san and (last name)-san, the two of you are Class 1-4 representative. I look forward to seeing what you've in store."

"W-wait, sensei! I-I-" Tsukishima stuttered, jumping up from his seat.

Meanwhile, you stood up as you protested. "Sensei! I can't work with string bean!"

Yukino ignored Tsukishima's obvious reluctance as she gave you a stern look. "Yes, you can work with Tsukishima-san and you will. If I find the two of you not working with one another, I'll degrade the both of you."

"As for you Tsukishima-san, your cooperative skills in class hasn't done your overall performance good. Unless you want your grades to be affected, I suggest that you cooperate and participate. This is your only chance. Is that clear?" Yukino finished by addressing Tuskishima.

"Yes, sensei." Both you and Tsukishima replied reluctantly.

"Good, now sit down. The class is about to begin."

The two of you sat down as everyone got ready for class to start. Throughout the rest of the day, the class noticed that whenever you and Tsukishima made eye contacts, a glare was exchanged. Did they make a wrong choice in choosing you two to represent them?

Let's just hope that Class 1-4 will be able to come with an idea before World War 3 starts.

***

"Pardon the intrusion." You greeted as you took off your shoes and placed it neatly next to Tsukishima's.

You're currently at Tsukishima's house once more, this time round to plan for your class's cultural festival activity. It was after school and since there's no training today, the two of you decided to discuss so that you can get it over and done with.

"Ah, welcome back Kei." Akiteru greeted cheerfully, only to be surprised when he saw you peeking out shyly from behind his younger brother. "Oh hello there (name)-chan, it's nice to see you again. How have you been?"

"Hello there, Akiteru-kun. I'm fine." You replied back shyly, having only met Tsukishima's older brother once.

Akiteru smiled at your shyness as he ruffled your hair. "Hey, don't need to be shy. We've met before."

A blush appeared on your cheeks, feeling slightly embarrassed. Meanwhile, Tsukishima rolled his eyes as he grabbed your hand and pulled you away from his brother - heading upstairs to his room. "Munchkin and I have important things to do. We'll be in my room."

"Alright, I'll prepare some snacks and bring it up afterwards. Have fun!" Akiteru shouted as he entered the kitchen.

You simply waved as you allowed Tsukishima to pull you along.

"You know, you don't have to be that jealous of your brother. Besides, I don't know him that well yet." You commented smugly when you noticed the look of jealousy on the first year's face.

"Who says anything about me being jealous?" Tsukishima fired back, his red tinged with embarrassment at the fact that you caught him.

"Well, your actions kinda say it otherwise. After all, actions speak louder than words." You shrugged, trying to act nonchalant if not for the smirk present on your face.

"Whatever," Tsukishima replied as he entered his bedroom with you in tow.

"Kei? Is that you? I haven't seen you in ages!" A high-pitched voice could be heard as the two of you entered the room.

Sitting on Tsukishima's bed was a girl about your age with jet-black hair and beautiful green eyes that shone like an emerald. You glanced at the girl curiously, wondering who she was before turning your attention to a frozen Tsukishima. "Ne, ne Kei-kun. Who is she? Were you expecting company?"

Tsukishima ignored you as he let go of your hands and took a step towards the girl, his voice frantic as he spoke. "Yui-chan, what are you doing here at my house, nonetheless my bedroom?"

"Is this how you say hello to someone who you haven't seen in years?" The girl who was now identified as Yui sniffed as though she's going to cry anytime soon.

You rolled your eyes as you muttered underneath your breath, "Drama queen."

"Did you say something sweetheart? May I add, who are you exactly?" Yui turned her attention towards you, a displeased look on your face as she looks you up and down as though she doesn't like how you look.

"My name's (Name) (Last Name) and I'm Kei-kun's friend, in case you're wondering Miss Faker." You mockingly replied, a fake sweet smile on your face.

Tsukishima chuckled at your words which left you grinning triumphantly while Yui simply glared at you. Yui noticed the way how the blond was smiling softly at the (h/c)-haired girl, leaving her boiling with rage and jealousy. Looks like (name) holds a special place in the blond's life and Yui has a feeling she knows that Tsukishima sees you as more than just a friend.

Well, things are about to change now that she's here.

"Yui-chan, this isn't the best timing to talk. I've school work to discuss with my friend here. We'll talk later, so please kindly leave." Tsukishima said as politely as he could, despite the irritation boiling beneath his skin.

"Is this how you really gonna treat me Kei just because you found another girl?" Yui cried angrily as she stomped her feet like a kid throwing tantrum

Irk marks appeared on Tsukishima's forehead, his patience running thin. Fortunately, before things could turn nasty, you quickly spoke up. "Sorry Miss Whining Mc-Pants, but Kei-kun and I are very busy. Like he mentioned before, the two of you can have your lovely chit-chat over a cup of tea after we're done. Can you please leave the room? We won't be able to concentrate if you're acting like a spoilt five-year-old."

Miss Whining Mc-Pants pointed a finger at you as she screeched like a banshee. "Kei, get this girl out of here! I don't know want her in this room! She's coming in between us!"

You looked back and forth between Tsukishima and Yui, a confused look on your face as you asked. "Wait, who are you exactly to Kei-kun?"

Before Tsukishima could say anything, Yui cut in. She wrapped her arms around Tsukishima's left arm, clinging to his side as she gave you a smirk, smugness could be heard in her tone. "I'm Kei's girlfriend in case you're wondering."

You blinked once, twice before bursting out into laughter. "AHAHAHA!"

Tsukishima glanced at you bent into half, wondering if you've gone insane. Meanwhile, you continued laughing for a good full minute as Yui gave you a glare, saying. "What's so funny? Do you think I'm lying?"

You finally managed to calm down as you took in a deep breath, saying. "You know, I'm gonna call you Miss Liar from now onwards. Good job in trying to fool me that string bean here is your boyfriend. Unfortunately, it didn't work. I mean this is string bean that we're talking about. Anyone who ever thinks of dating him must be crazy! Right, Kei-kun?"

Tsukishima let out a sigh, feeling a headache forming. First, he has to deal with someone like you and now, add Yui, it's going to be a nightmare. Ignoring you, the blond turned to Yui. "Yui-chan now isn't really the right time. I'll talk to you later so please just leave before you make things worse."

"But she's the one who started it first!" Yui protested, pointing her finger at you.

"You're the one who provokes her first." Tsukishima bluntly replied, causing you to stick your tongue at Yui who glares back at you.

Tsukishima turned his attention next to you with a glare. "And you, stop teasing her before I throw the both of you out of my house."

"Psh, yeah right as if you would. You love me too much to get rid of me. Although I can't say the same for Miss Liar." You replied as you stared at your nails like the boss that you are.

"Why you!" Yui shouted in indignation.

Having enough of this, Tsukishima shoved the two of you out of his bedroom - the door slamming right in both your faces. You simply blinked while Yui banged her fists on the door, demanding Tsukishima to let her in. With a shrug, you shouted that you'll call Tsukishima tonight to discuss the class plan before taking your leave.

Without waiting for a reply, you left the Tsukishimas' household after telling Akiteru that you have a last minute thing so you'll take your leave first. You were about one-quarter away from Tsukishima's house when you heard a familiar voice calling for you. Letting out a sigh, you stopped and turned around, coming face-to-face with none other Yui.

"What do you want? I've better things to do, so make it quick." You replied, your voice monotonous.

When Yui didn't reply ten seconds later, you turned back and continued your journey back home. Only for the black-haired girl to chase after you again, this time round grabbing onto your bag so you couldn't escape.

"Seriously, what's your problem?" You asked, giving her an irritated look.

Yui straightened her body as she fixed you with a glare, her voice low and dangerous. "I want you to stay away from Kei. He's mine or else I'll ruin your life."

You simply raised a brow, unfazed by her threat. "Is that the best that you can do? Besides, the last time I check I don't see your name written anywhere on string bean that says you belong to him. Kei-kun is not an object, so don't be so quick to say that he's yours. Who he chooses to be with is his own decision. Now, if you don't have anything else to say, I'm taking my leave. I already wasted five minutes of my life standing here listening to you spout rubbish."

With that, you pulled your hand out of Yui's grasp and left, not bothering to turn around.

"Mark my words! I'll destroy your life!" Yui shouted in anger.

You ignored her as you plugged in your earpiece and blast your music so you could tune her out. You have a feeling that this wouldn't be the last time that you'll be seeing her. In fact, you're right when she turned up in Karasuno High School Class 1-4 as the new transfer student the next day.

Your lips curled into a smirk as Yui glared at you when she found out that she was seated on the opposite side of the classroom from where you and Tsukishima were located. A single thought crossed your mind as you focused your attention back to what Yukino-sensei was teaching, ignoring the glares sent your way by none other than Yui.

Looks like I got myself a love rival. This should be fun.
