A/N I go to a Japanese high school and these are real events from sports festivals. I'll try to explain them as best as I could.
THE DAY OF THE sports festival had arrived, and you couldn't help but feel a tad bit excited. It was one of the three main events of the school year, and you were also planning to win. 
There were many competitions that day. First, you had the class matches, where you and Airi would be competing in volleyball, whilst Gojo would compete in basketball. 
Then, the relay matches. Classes in the same grades and clubs would race against each other in a relay race. Gojo wouldn't be racing for the relay match, so you didn't really care. 
What he would be racing for was the "borrowing competition". About 10 people would get a big piece of paper with a subject on it; for example, "A person in the swimming club" or "A tall person". Then, the racer would have to run into the crowd of students and "borrow" a person who matches the description written on the paper, and bring them to the finish line.
You were most excited for this, to be honest, because Gojo would be a racer. If he were to get a subject like "Person you like" or anything that suggested that, you hoped he picked you. 
Because it was the sports festival, you decided to change your look that day. You usually had your hair tied back in a simple ponytail, with nothing but simple makeup because it usually wore off during school. 
Today, you had decided to do half twin tails with the ends curled a bit, your makeup primed to the max. You were aiming to take many pictures with your friends so you wanted to look your best, regardless of the fact that you were probably going to be sweating a lot.
You walked with your friends towards the gym, the school more lively than ever as everybody was in high spirits because your class had been advancing pretty well. You had already won against two classes, and now it was time to go against Airi's class.
You wanted to win—of course, to get first place, but also because you lowkey just wanted to win against Airi. You felt childish for feeling that way, but at the same time, you didn't care. 
You entered the court, seeing Airi impossibly cuter than ever. Her hair was curled and her makeup was glamorous. "We're going against first years? Alright, let's beat some ass." Said Hina, your friend who was in the volleyball club.
You heard she had gotten into this school with a recommendation through volleyball, and that she was a promising ace, even though she was a second year. You also heard she was one of the best high school aces in the country. 
She was one of the reasons your class was able to advance. Still, you also heard that the opposite class had a very good libero. You were going to be playing setter, something you had been practicing very hard at. You were confident with your skills.
"(Last Name)-senpai!" You heard someone call to you, and seeing that it was Airi. She stood on the other side of the net, a small smirk on her face. "I'm not going to lose." She declared. You wanted to scoff, but only displayed a smile. "Sure." And turned your head.
"She seems annoying." Whispered Hina, and you could only shrug. She was annoying, but it was kind of sad to see how desperate she was to prove herself to Gojo. 
The whistle blew, and the game started. One of the girls on your team threw the ball up, before serving the ball with a jump serve. The rumored libero on the opposite team was able to pick it up easily, the ball being passed to the setter. 
The ball was set up, Airi jumping to spike the ball. Because she was only a beginner, the spike wasn't anything to be gawking about, but it definitely did look like she practiced. The libero of your team picked up the ball, and you licked your lips in anticipation, positioning yourself below the ball.
With your arms over your head, you made quick eye contact with Hina, and you could tell she was on fire. You set the ball just the way she liked it, and she jumped, a thunderous roar clapping as she stomped on the wooden gym floors. She spiked the ball, the ball zooming towards the floor and slapping against the floor.
Because it was only a sports festival, there was only one set of the game. The rest of the match went on like that, Airi basically breathing flames of anger.
It wasn't fair. Your team had a top ace while her team was younger and less experienced. "Are you okay, Airi? You look frustrated." Her teammate asked. Airi quickly changed her expression, a soft smile replacing her scowl. "I'm just tired!" She reassured.
"Just aim for their face, if you can." Her teammate whispered, making sure no one noticed. Airi smirked, nodding to the suggestion. 
You were obviously her first target. But, you were unaware. You were caught off guard when Airi jumped and spiked, her eyes wide as she made eye contact with you. The ball was connected with your face in an instant, sending you back as you fell on the floor.
"Shit." You groaned, your tailbone in pain, along with your nose that was stinging. "(Name)! You alright?" Hina asked, kneeling next to you. Airi gasped loudly. "Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry! Are you alright?" 
You glanced at her, and nodded. You couldn't tell if it was deliberate or not, so you showed her a reassuring smile. "I'll just take this match off." You told Hina, feeling your head starting to pound. She nodded, and you walked off the court.
At the end, Airi had gotten what she wanted. Without your support as the setter, good tosses couldn't be made to Hina, and she had to improvise. The rest of the match didn't go as well as it did in the first half, and your class ended up losing.
Hina pouted as she walked towards you. "Damn, we lost!" She groaned, and you smiled. "At least we got third place." You told her. She smiled and nodded, wrapping her arm around yours. "I'm starving! Let's go eat some lunch!" She yelled, grabbing your arm and marching out of the gym.
Airi won, but she didn't feel satisfied. It seemed as if you couldn't care less wether you won or lost. She was truly jealous of your carefree nature.
