RING! Unlike usual, Akio did not shoot up and then fall back on her bed. This time, she actually got up and went to the bathroom before putting on her trainers and going for a jog. Today was the day she was going to try out for the volleyball team.

As Akio skipped down the stairs, she looked at her phone.

Kiyoko has replied to her text informing that she was missing the club session today for tryouts with "Good luck!". Akio needed it.

"Michimiya-san," she called as she walked over to the lunch table she was on. The rest of her volleyball team was tee too. They looked like great friends. We're they friends because they shared a passion for volleyball? Or were they in a team because they were friends? Michimiya looked up surprised.

"Minako-san! Hi!" She exclaimed. They looked at each other awkwardly. The two only ever saw each during Japanese and did not really talk otherwise.

"Erm...I was wondering are there any spaces in the volleyball club?" Akio replied smiling awkwardly. Michimiya broke into a huge grin.

"Of course!" She exclaimed, "Do you want to join today?"

Akio nodded fervently.

"Well, we'll be glad to see you!" She exclaimed and the rest of the table begun introducing themselves. soon as the bells rung for the end of school, she sprinted to the changing room.

"Hello, my name is Chizuru Sasaki!"

"I'm Manama Aoki!"

"Nozomi Watabe, pleased to mete you!"

"Hi, my name is Mao Aihara,"

"I'm Rinko Sudou!"

"Hey, I'm Moe Kikuchi!"

Suddenly, Akio felt less nervous as she greeted each and every player excited for after school.
