𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗕𝗨𝗦 𝗪𝗔𝗦 𝗕𝗨𝗭𝗭𝗜𝗡𝗚 with energy. I sat next to Hitoka, my camera bag balanced on my lap as I glanced out the window, Seijoh's gym still miles away. The rumble of the engine was barely audible over the noise coming from Karasuno's volleyball team. Pure chaos didn't even begin to describe it. Honestly, I wasn't sure how the coach was even managing to ignore it.
On my right, Tanaka was standing, gripping the back of Sugawara's seat as he leaned forward, shouting something about "crushing Seijoh." Hinata, of course, couldn't resist joining in with his own high-pitched enthusiasm, his arms flailing as he sat next to Kageyama, who looked as if he was regretting every life choice that led him to this moment.
Hitoka leaned over to me, a small giggle escaping her lips as she whispered, “They're so extra."
I grinned, lowering my camera from my face. "It's like they're feeding off each other's energy," I said, adjusting the lens cap with a chuckle.
I'd already snapped a few photos of the chaos—Hinata with his wide grin, Tanaka flexing dramatically, and Noya loudly declaring he was going to "out-receive everyone"—but there was still so much going on, I could barely keep up.
Hitoka smiled, fiddling with the sleeves of her jacket. "You get used to it. Well, mostly." She looked so calm, despite the whirlwind around her, which honestly just made me admire her even more. She had this soft, sweet aura about her that seemed to balance out the team's madness.
Across the aisle, Kiyoko sat near the front, her usual composed self, though I caught her smiling quietly as Asahi frantically tried to shush Tanaka and Noya before they somehow managed to get the whole bus to join in a chant.
"Let me guess," I said, turning back to Hitoka, "Tanaka and Noya are always the loudest?"
She nodded, a small laugh slipping from her. "Always."
The bus jolted a little, making me steady my camera. A perfect opportunity—Tanaka and Noya were now on their feet, getting way too into their chant of "we’re gonna win!" with Daichi trying to calm them down from his seat.
I clicked the shutter, capturing the madness. Honestly, this kind of energy was contagious. I could feel it creeping into me, despite the fact that I was just here to take photos.
"Hey, Y/N!" Hinata suddenly shouted from his seat, his eyes wide with excitement. "You gonna take photos of me spiking?! I'll jump super high this time, I promise!"
I laughed, nodding. "You know the answer."
He grinned wider, looking over at Kageyama. "Hear that, Kageyama?"
