I was in middle school. I was on my bike and I was riding slowly. I stopped suddenly. I see the news. I saw someone, he was amazing. He looked so confident. He was flying in the air, he was fast. I have never wanted anything more after seeing him. My parents lost faith in my to do good in anything. "Hinata you won't get anywhere. Hinata just stop believing, it is a fantasy. Volleyball is for taller people, not for you. You could never be good at anything." The tiny giant was my inspiration. This seemed impossible. Izumi and Kōji, they were my friends. They were the people, I needed to get somewhere. Even though Kōji was on the soccer team, and Izumi was on the basketball team. Izumi was the light of my friend group always made me happy. Kōji was the night of the group, dark and timid. Izumi had a peach yellow hair. Kōji had dark hair. They supported me. They didn't know anything about volleyball and I didn't either. We went against Kitagawa Daiichi Junior High and we lost. The feeling of losing was in my heart was hard for me to accept. We lost: (2:0 25-5 and 25-8) I felt so angry after that game because I had faith. On the other team there was so much arguments. I could just hear,"You need to get the ball over the net!" He sounds frustrated. Why can't people understand that we need to get this! "You need to understand to get over the net!" I say concerned. "Kageyama stop being so controlling. You are literally the worst. King of the court." People would say this to me. I see Oikawa practicing one day and I went over there. He looked so talented. I wanted to learn from him. "Oikawa would you teach me how to serve?" I say with passion. He looks at me. "Get lost. GET LOST!" He says yelling at me. He was gonna slap me. Then some one on our team stops him. Iwaizumi Hajime looks at Oikawa. "What are you thinking Oikawa." He says with frustration. "I'm sorry Kageyama for that happening." He pats me on the head. I don't understand why he was so mean to me that day. I held a grudge at Oikawa. I felt the worst after that. I thought what I was doing was for our team but it was only pushing people away. They all left me. I just got used to it. I would go home and I would be without a father that left me. I would cry because I didn't know how to talk to my teammates. I still don't. I'm lost. When we faced Yukigaoka Junior High School. I saw some one over there and he has orange hair. He shines the way, I want to shine. He shines like the sun and blinds everyone in the path. For some reason I can see him very clearly. Who are you?
