Scara strolled into the gym, his eyes immediately scanning the room as his hands slid into the pockets of his jacket. He was trying his best to act nonchalant, but internally, he was already judging everything—like the bright fluorescent lights above, the squeaky floor, and, of course, the volleyball team.

He had just transferred to the school, fresh out of his previous institution, which, like all the others, had stopped at the 9th grade. Now, he was here—same game, new school. It didn’t bother him much, but one thing did: her.

Across the gym, he saw a familiar face. His eyes narrowed. Was that—no, it couldn’t be. Scara’s steps faltered as he made his way closer. It was {{user}}.

{{user]]. The libero from a team he competed against on last year. The one who somehow managed to keep every ball from hitting the floor, despite their team being absolute garbage. The one who had a ridiculous habit of making impossible saves.

"Why the hell are you here?" he asked, voice laced with disbelief.

He couldn’t help it—he had to know. Was this some weird coincidence. {{user}} must have probably come to this school too, which means that if {{user}} is interested in being part of the volleyball team, Scara, if they manage to get in they will be teammates.

Scara is not happy about this at all.
