2nd Chance
1
You had a good life with a happy family and friends who love you.
You had fun at school with your best friend Ichiko and your childhood friend Aki. When you were in your second year of school you started to realize that you liked Aki.
You spent whole weekend thinking about how to open up to him. You finally decided to write a letter even though it was a bit cliché, that night you could barely fall asleep from excitement. Next day you arrived in class, excited at the thought of opening up to him.
The first thing you see when you enter the classroom is Aki and Ichiko laughing and talking together. You walked up them and greeted them. You had a feeling that something was different. Before you could say that you wanted to talk to Aki. Ichiko said:
Ichiko
I have some good news to tell you.
Ichiko
"We're going out!"
said as she took Aki's hand.
You were frozen with astonishment. Not knowing what to say you just stared at the two of them and Ichiko was telling you how they started dating.
You Forcing yourself to smile and quickly congratulated them both.
Y/n
"I just remembered I had to go to the teachers' room."
you said and left them.
Y/n
💭 how long had Ichiko liked Aki?
Y/n
💭 although it is no longer important to think about these things.
As much as you felt sorry for your first love that ended before it could begin, you had no choice bout to wish them happiness together.
Over the next few days you came to terms with the situation and started to get over your first love. After all, you still had good friends.
It had been about two months since Ichiko and Aki had started dating. Thinking back to the time you and Aki spent as friends, you were quite happy not to open up to him. You didn't want to lose that friendship just for love.
But there was one thing that worried you. For the last couple of days there seemed to be something going on between two.
Y/n
💭 what could've happened?
But no matter how much you tried to ask you couldn't get an answer. You decided to go with the flow for now and observe.
The next day you were talking to Aki as usual while Ichiko walking to class thinking about the conversation she and Aki had the day before.
Aki
I want to break up. I'm sorry, but I like someone else.
Ichiko
💭 but he didn't say who he liked.
Ichiko
💭 I have to talk to him again. I don't want to end it like this.
She was thinking then she saw you and Aki talking happily in class. Suddenly a disturbing thought occurred to her.
Ichiko
💭 what if... if she's the one he likes. Does she like him too?
She started moving towards you. When you looked up you saw her.
Ichiko
"So that's who you liked? Is that why you broke up with me?"
she asked angrily.
She had already made up her mind about what the situation was.
Ichiko
💭 How could they do such a thing?
She was both hurt and angry, especially at the thought that her friend could have done such a thing.
Ichiko
"I thought you were my friend." she mumbled.
Aki
No, she doesn't know anything. My feelings are one-sided.
Ichiko
"Wow You're so in love! you're still trying to protect her."
She yelled.
You couldn't understand what was going on.
Y/n
💭 Huh? Aki likes me?..
Y/n
💭 no, now is not the time to think about that. I have to explain to Ichiko that it's nothing like she thinks.
You stand up to explain that there is nothing between you and Aki.
Y/n
Ichiko this really not what you think you're my friend, I would never do that.
As soon as your words were over, you felt a sharp pain in your check.
With this slap you realized that in her eyes your friendship was already over. when you felt your eyes start to water you quickly left the classroom leaving them both behind. You heard Aki calling after you, and then they started fighting again.
This incident continued to be talked about among the students. Now everyone knew you as the girl who stole your friend's boyfriend.
After the incident you distanced yourself from Aki and started hanging out alone. You finished middle school focusing only your studies and not interacting with anyone until graduation.

You opened your eyes to the first day of high school with the sounds of bird outside and shouts from downstairs.
After tossing and turning in bed for a bit, you got up to change your clothes.
After changing your clothes, you washed your face and went downstairs.
You sat next to your father, who was trying to eat his breakfast while your mother and brother were yelling.
Akira
Good morning darling
Y/n
Why are they fighting this time?
Y/n
Mom, you'll disturb the neighbors.
You had managed to get your mother's attention. Dealing with your brother must have exhausted her because she sighed loudly and let her brother do what he wanted.
Hisa
AHH whatever, you can take whatever you want, just for today.
Zen
Yeey! I wonder which one should I take hmm?
The source of all the noise they were making all morning was your brother wanting to take his toys with him for his first day of school.
Hisa
Y/n, can you drop your brother off at school today?
Hisa
Your dad and I have to leave early today.
Hisa
"Then when you finish your breakfast you can leave the dishes there. I'm going to get ready," she said and went to her room.
A few minutes later your mother got ready and came and left with your father.
Y/n
See you. Have a good day.
Y/n
If you are ready, shall we go out soon?
Zen
My robot didn't fit in my bag. What should do now?
You saw that your brother was about to cry and went over to help him and started to rearrange the things in his bag.
Y/n
That's all it fits now.
Since your brother's school is on the same route as your school, you will be able to arrive on time.
While you were walking while listening to your brother's interesting dream, you saw someone coming out of a familiar house up ahead.
At that moment, your eyes met, and a familiar figure started to come towards you.
Zen
Oh! Aki onichan! Good morning!
Zen
Do you know I'm going to school today!
Aki
Today is your first day, huh?
As you listened to the conversation from the sidelines, you thought you wanted to get away from there as soon as possible.
Y/n
"Ah... I hope he doesn't ask too much." You mumbled
Even though you tried to keep your distance from each other for the last two years, since you lived in the same neighborhood, these kinds of encounters were inevitable.
At that moment Aki turned to you
Aki
So you're going to Karasuno?
Aki
I'm glad we could meet like this.
Aki
I wanted to talk longer, but I guess you have to go, huh?
Y/n
Yes. I have to be quick because I have to drop Zen off at his school.
Aki
Okay. I hope we can talk longer next time. There were things I wanted to tell you.
You continued walking, leaving Aki behind.
Y/n
I'll come pick you up at the exit. Don't go anywhere without me, okay?
After dropping your brother off, you started walking towards school.
When you entered the school, you heard a loud noise from your right and looked to see someone running towards you. You quickly stepped aside and looked after him. At that moment you saw a child, taller than before, running in the same direction.
While looking after them, You heard a conversation between two children, one of whom was wearing glasses and was looking in the same direction as you.
Yamaguchi
Where are they going in such a hurry?
Since your cousin graduated from here, you know what's going on there, so you speak unintentionally.
Y/n
There's only a gym on that side. I think they go there.
Y/n
I responded unintentionally when I overheard it. I'm sorry.
Yamaguchi
It really doesn't matter...
Yamaguchi
By the way, are you okay? You look pale
Because of the skin color you inherited from your father, you usually received the same question from most people you met.
Even though it was in the past, you remembered the times when you were made fun of and excluded because of your skin color. And your face falls involuntarily.
He must have noticed your face falls because he immediately started apologizing.
Yamaguchi
Ah! I'm sorry. I didn't mean it with any malicious intent.
Yamaguchi
I'm really sorry. You actually look pretty.
Yamaguchi
Ah! No! I meant you don't look bad. It doesn't mean anything Else.
You thought that if you didn't end the conversation and walk away as soon as possible, the boy in front of you would continue this conversation all day long. So, without giving him a chance to say anything else,
Y/n
You said, “I’m sorry, but I have to go to class now.” and left.
The boy with glasses, who had been listening to you without speaking the whole time, finally opened his mouth.
Tsukishima
Wow Yamaguchi, I see you started hitting on girls from the first day, huh?
Yamaguchi
HUH! N-no it's not like that.
Yamaguchi
Seriously Tsukki, I wasn't trying to do that.
He was trying to justify himself while running after the boy with glasses.

wandering around the floors to find your classroom
Y/n
I think this is my classroom
You sat in the second to last row at the entrance, trying not to attract the attention of the laughing and talking groups.
Even though you wanted to have a friend that you could talk to about lessons and daily matters like before, the incident in middle school didn't leave you alone. You didn't want to experience the same things again.
Y/n
I think my high school life will be lonely like last year.
You sighed inwardly, dreaming of the day you would overcome this fear.
Even though you didn't get close to anyone in your class, you still spent days making small talk with a few people here and there.
Y/n
Ugh. I can't believe I slept through the whole lesson.
You fell asleep in class until dark because of the game you played all night at your brother's insistence.
As you left the classroom you saw four figures in the distance. Two of them were the boys you had met the first day.
You saw the blonde boy talking with an annoying face while holding a volleyball in his hand.
Y/n
Are they bullying them or what?
Y/n
Should I inform someone?
You looked around, but there was no one left in the school.
Y/n
What should I do? What happens if they fight?
But contrary to what you think, nothing happened, and both sides went their separate ways.
After standing there in shock for a while, You decided to go home
On the other hand, you started thinking on the way home.
Y/n
I wonder what they were talking about?
Y/n
The next day You were walking to school thoughtfully. "Can they really be bullies?
Y/n
While you were thinking, your first day conversation came to mind. "Actually, when ı think about it, it seems quite possible."
Y/n
Anyway, I better stay away from them just in case.
While you were thinking about these, fate twisted, and you met them at the school gate.
Yamaguchi
Ah? Tsukki look! The girl from the other day
Y/n
"seriously?"you thought to yourself.
Yamaguchi
Hi! oh, by the way sorry about the other day.
Tsukishima
"I think it would be better if I went first. Maybe you would like to be alone." he mocked.
Yamaguchi
Blush* Tsukki I-I told you it wasn't like that. Please don't make fun of me.
Tsukishima
ok. if you say so.
You watched the two boys without the slightest idea of what was happening.
You wanted to leave without wasting any more time, but when you heard a loud voice coming from behind you, you were startled and turned around to look where the voice was coming from.
The voice was coming from the short boy you saw last night.
Kageyama
It's unfair. You started from the front.
Hinata
Tch tch. You can never handle losing.
Kageyama
This doesn't count.
Tsukishima
Oho, is there anything the king is bad at?
Kageyama
I told you I didn't lose, he started before me.
Y/n
You thought, "Should I go while they're distracted?"
You were just getting ready to leave when the orange haired boy noticed you and started talking to you, and you missed your chance.
Hinata
H-hi! Are you Tsukishima's friend or not?
Hinata
Wow, you're very white. Are you a foreigner?
Hinata
Ah! Do you know Japanese? Or do we need to speak English? But my English is not good. What should we do?
Tsukishima
At least you have talent for that, huh?
Hinata
Huh? What does that mean? I'm very talented!
Hinata
kageyama, do you know? talk to her.
Kageyama
ah... I'm not very good at it either.
Tsukishima
You are seriously so naive. Do you think that even though she is wearing this school uniform, Do you think she can't speak Japanese?
While you were busy trying to follow the breathless speech of the orange head, the boy with glasses answered these questions on your behalf.
Hinata
Oh, I'm Hinata Shoyo. What is your name?
Hinata
And this sullen boy is Kageyama
Kageyama
Hey! I'm not! And don't speak on my behalf.
The sullen boy turned to you, a little embarrassed, and said:
Kageyama
My name is Kageyama Tobio.
Tsukishima
So the king also has such facial expressions, huh?
Y/n
"He takes advantage of every opportunity. I really think it would be a good idea to stay away from the boy with glasses." You thought.
Yamaguchi
We didn't meet the other day. I'm Yamaguchi Tadashi.
Yamaguchi
and this person...
Tsukishima
Shut up Yamaguchi. I can talk myself.
Tsukishima
Tsukishima Kei.
Hinata
So you're not friends with them?
Hinata
At first, I really thought you were a foreigner, hehe
Y/n
It's not a problem, most people think so too.
Hinata
How about a quick practice before class?
Kageyama
ok! Since you cheated now, how about a rematch? The first one to get to the clubroom wins.
Hinata
I didn't cheat! But okay, I'm ready to beat you again!
Hinata
Oh, y/n-san Do you want to come too? It's so much fun.
Y/n
Thanks, but I have to go to class.
Hinata
Is that so? Okay. Then you can come back later whenever you want.
After hinata and kageyama left you, you were about to quickly go to class when tsukishima started talking a little shyly.
Tsukishima
Don't take those two idiots too seriously. They say whatever comes to their mind without thinking.
You stared at him for a moment because you didn't expect him to talk like this.
Y/n
Thanks. It can be annoying sometimes. But I'm used to it now.
Yamaguchi
See you later y/n
After saying goodbye you left to go to your class.
Y/n
"Hmm...I guess he wasn't as bad as I thought." You mumbled.
