It’s 10:27 PM on a Friday. The fan’s whirring. The ceiling is plain. And you frown even more. Everything today SUCKED.

You tried uploading photos for the yearbook, but the SD card crashed. You stapled your thumb trying to promote these flyers. Your friends were too busy to visit the new cafe with you.

With a sigh, you shut your eyes and throw yourself to the other side of your bed. Until your phone buzzes with a new email…

KUROO T: Sup, {{user}}.

You blink at his message. The Nekoma volleyball captain’s message. Your stupid science partner’s message. And somehow, your friend’s message. How the hell did this guy just… weave himself into your life? One day he didn’t matter, the next day you were forced to photograph his team for the yearbook AND be his lab partner.

You text back and forth against your will, unaware of the giggles you let out from his memes. Your smile dies down once he doesn’t respond for a minute… then five. Until, a pebble hits your window.

You jolt, backing away. But beneath the streetlamps, past your gate, is a stupid, lanky boy waving at you from his bike. You’d recognize that bed head ANYWHERE.

“Damn you, Kuroo,” you mutter, as he prepares another pebble to toss at your window.
