Next Day
Hyunjin woke up feeling like today was gonna be a great day. And she hopes she didn’t jinx it and crosses her fingers.
She got dressed for school and went downstairs to grab a bite to eat. Her dad had already left for work and her brother was sleeping on the couch. Seems like he fell asleep there considering he had yesterday’s clothes.
She let him be and ate some cereal and thinking about she can gather some girls to join her team. She finished eating and put her bowl in the sink and left for school.
Hyunjin would rather take the bus than walk since its starting to get hot. The summer was almost here and she couldn’t wait till school was over. She arrived with twenty minutes to spare so she went and sat in the cafeteria.
She took out her notebook and wrote down some ideas on how she can win against Jinhyuk. She felt a presence at her table and saw four new faces sitting down in front of her.
“Um can I help you guys?” Hyunjin was confused as to why they sat down and wanted to talk to her.
One of them cleared their throat and spoke ” Hi I’m Haseul, the class president for seniors. And this is Vivi, Jinsoul and Sooyoung” the brunette smiled at her while the others waved at Hyunjin.
“Oh um…hi but do you need anything from me?” Hyunjin just wanted to get this conversation over with. “oh um we just wanted to let you know that we want to join your team”
Never mind. The athlete sat up straight and looked at each girl to make sure they were serious about this. It looked true but she wanted to make sure.
“Are you guys sure? Its fine if y’all don’t know how to play but I don’t wanna force you if you don’t want to” she wanted to let them know she wasn’t gonna force them into something they didn’t want.
“We are sure, we talked about it yesterday and we all agreed on helping you out” Sooyoung answered as the others nodded.
Hyunjin was ecstatic that she may have a chance at beating Jinhyuk. “well then why don’t we exchange numbers and I’ll make a group chat. The only other person to join me is my friend Chaewon and now you guys”
They exchanged phone numbers and decided to see if they can meet up after school. They bid each other goodbye once the bell rang and Hyunjin was smiling and knew that it is most certainly a good day.
Lunch had already started by the time Hyunjin left her class. Her teacher held their class back for a few minutes to discuss a project.
As she was walking down the hall towards the cafeteria, a blonde and redhead approached her. She looked confused before the redhead spoke.
“Hi I’m Jiwoo and this is Jungeun. We wanted to let you know that we would like to join your team” she had a big smile on her face as her friend just sighed.
Hyunjin was surprised at the sudden statement. She still couldn’t comprehend that she already has a somewhat team but now two more people want to join?
Composing herself, she smiled at the duo “wait really?! Are you sure because I don’t wanna force you guys. And I understand if you don’t know how to play”
Jungeun smiled “Jiwoo convinced me and we had already talked about it yesterday. We were hoping you can teach us to play also” Jiwoo nodded and looked at Hyunjin with wide eyes.
“Sure I can teach y’all. And thanks for joining my team. Can we exchange numbers so we can meet after school later on?” They nodded and exchanged numbers when Jiwoo thought of something.
Gasping “Can we sit with you and your friend? I mean since we’re going to be on the same team, we might as well get to know each other more” she suggested and Hyunjin just nodded and agreed.
They walked together and sat down at a table where a specific green haired girl was. Chaewon looked shocked and confused at the new faces.
“Hi I’m Chaewon and who are you?” She introduced herself wanting to know why the new duo sat with them.
“Hi I’m Jiwoo and this is Jungeun. We are joining Hyunjin’s team to play” she smiled and Chaewon lit up after she heard what the redhead said. They then started to get know each other before they were interrupted by four girls.
Haseul smiled and asked if they can sit down with them. Hyunjin nodded and gestures towards the empty seats.
“Hey guys I’m Sooyoung and these are my friends Jinsoul,Haseul and Vivi. We had already asked Hyunjin if we could join her team” Sooyoung looked at the girls but her eyes lingered on the cute redhead across her.
Jiwoo slightly blushed when she saw the way the dancer looked at her. She tried to avoid eye contact and Sooyoung just chuckled at Jiwoo. “Cute” she thought.
Beside Sooyoung, Jinsoul was eyeing the blonde beside Jiwoo. She smiled at Jungeun when they made eye contact. The blonde smiled back then looked down at her lap slightly blushing.
The duo nodded at them and they started to know each other a little more. After they sat down from getting their lunch, Hyunjin started to talk about baseball so they can know the basics.
The bell rang and they bid each other goodbye and had decided to meet after school to talk more about the sport.
Hyunjin was in English just chilling on her phone. The teacher had gave them free time for the remaining of the period since they finished early. She looked up when she felt someone standing in front of her desk.
There stood a brunette with blonde streaks looking at Hyunjin in anticipation. She smiled at the newcomer and waited for her to speak.
“H-hi my name’s Heejin and I just wanted to ask if I-i can join your t-team?” She stuttered and blushed hoping she can still join Hyunjin’s team and become friends.
The black haired just stared at her thinking how someone can be so beautiful. She was a little surprised by her deep voice though but composed herself quickly.
Slightly blushing ” Oh um I’m Hyunjin and are you sure about joining because I don’t want you to feel forced to join?”
Nodding and smiling ” oh yea I’m sure and I’ve also been wanting to become friends with you. I don’t know a lot about baseball so I was hoping if you can teach me?”
Hyunjin suddenly felt her heart starting to beat erratically as Heejin was staring at her. She felt hot and wanted to know why this girl made her feel this way.
“Y-yea I’ll t-teach you d-don’t worry” she didn’t know why she started stuttering. “Let’s meet up after school today so I can help you and so you can meet the others that are gonna join too”
Heejin thought about it and she was a little nervous about meeting other people. She was never a big social person but she would make an exception for Hyunjin.
“Sure but do you need my number?”
“Yea and then I’ll text you where we’ll meet and also add you to the group chat” she pulled out her phone and handed it to Heejin.
The bell rang when Hyunjin was going to ask Heejin to sit and talk with her. They exited the class together and then went their separate ways.
Hyunjin decided not to go to her last class so she just went outside into the courtyard. She sat down at a table and pulled out her notebook. A few minutes passed till she heard someone clearing their throat.
Looking up,she saw three girls younger looking than her. A tall black haired girl with a distinct mouth, a brunette with a smile so bright that she had to squint her eyes and a short girl that looked like fifth grader.
“Hello Hyunjin, my name is Yerim and this is Hyejoo and Yeojin. We were wondering if we can join your team?” The ‘sunshine’ spoke and Hyunjin lit up like christmas.
“Yea we thought that we should help you win even if we don’t know how to play”
Hyunjin gestured for the girls to sit down since it looked like they were also skipping class. “Don’t worry I can teach you guys but I just wanna make sure that you actually want to play”
The taller finally spoke up “we’re sure although I was a bit hesitant but we came to terms and agreed to join you” she looked scary but Hyunjin did look the same way too.
“Alright well can I have your numbers so I can text y’all where we’ll meet after school?” The girls nodded and gave her their numbers. “There will also be other girls too since they decided to join me”
Yerim answered for her friends “that’s fine at least we’ll be able to make new friends” she was happy to meet new people.
They sat there talking till the last bell rang signaling the end of school. Hyejoo thought it was better if they all went together to the meet up spot which was the gym.
Walking towards the gym, they heard a few voices as they were nearing. Turning a corner, they were met with a group of girls in front of the gym doors.
Chaewon noticed Hyunjin walking up to them with three girls. She walked towards her and gave her a hug. “hey aeongie who are they?” She pointed to the freshmen.
“thats Yerim, Hyejoo and Yeojin they’re going to join our team” the shorter of the two nodded and blushed when she looked at the girl who resembled a wolf. Hyunjin noticed but didn’t say anything and only smirked.
Haseul suggested for them to enter and sit down on the bleachers. After getting situated, Hyunjin counted how many would be on the team. She was fine with twelve,including herself, since only nine actually play. Its good having backup in case someone gets injured.
Hyunjin looked around at them and smiled because she finally has a team to beat Jinhyuk. She is going to make sure they win but she’ll also make sure they stay friends regardless of the outcome. Hyunjin can already feel that they’ll be inseparable and its barely the first day they met.
