They tell him it’s unsightly that he’s already so large at just fifteen years old but as far as he’s been able to tell from his research, a lot of his growth is genetic. It runs on his father’s side of the family, whereas his mother and grandmother are short and slight in stature. That’s the first thing he notices, because Wakatoshi himself is also tall. Wakatoshi looks up from where he’s been arranging his pens on his desk he brings two black ball points, for if one runs out, a mechanical pencil with extra lead, an eraser, a ruler, two highlighters in orange and green and a metal compass for Mathematics. Ushijima Wakatoshi’s meticulous planning does not account for Tendou Satori. He will be alone, like he always is - the easiest way to be.Ī life of solitude is familiar after all. Wakatoshi knows exactly what to expect: he will meet all of these different people, in all of these different places, and they will speak to him as little as possible. So Wakatoshi knows how it will go, has it planned down to the finest details. Too big, too awkward, too stern looking - that’s what his mother tells him. For all it’s worth, he doesn’t understand them either, but it doesn’t matter because they don’t come anywhere near him in the first place. People don’t like him and don’t understand him. With all these hundreds of people he will encounter, he won’t make friends. The club will have the core starting players, the pinch hitters and players that stay on the bench, up to four managers and two coaches. He will then have any extracurricular activities that he has opted to participate in - namely the Volleyball Club. Wakatoshi will have a homeroom class, and then a class for each of his subjects.

There is a teacher for each room, plus assisting staff, coaches, nurses, cleaning and maintenance staff, the principal and other senior staff. Each block has between four and ten rooms which can sit between twelve and fourty five students. Shiratorizawa has nine main departments, split into approximately twenty two different blocks.
Shiratorizawa has just over one thousand students. ‘ It’s okay,’ he tells himself ‘ you know what to expect.’ Familiarity is what makes things easy, makes them comforting, and this doesn’t feel familiar at all. Wakatoshi clenches his fist, rubbing the tips of his fingers against the meat of his palms to try and self-soothe. He’s been preparing himself for the giant change of moving from Junior High to Senior High for months and now that it’s here, he feels completely ready.Īs the swathes of students pass by him, walking leisurely or sprinting depending on the urgency of where they need to be, his hands begin to sweat. Through speaking to his father, to the school representative who had helped him with his entry papers and provided information about the volleyball club, Wakatoshi feels confident that he knows exactly what to expect. Others, like himself, enter the school grounds with apprehension visible on their faces Wakatoshi can recognise it through the furrowed brows and the bitten lips, a skill he’s been practising all summer.Īnd so, Shiratorizawa is perhaps what you could call intimidating.Įverything is manageable if you plan and prepare though, and that’s exactly what Wakatoshi has done. Some walk in groups - greeting their peers and friends with a familiar friendliness.

Ushijima Wakatoshi arrives on his first day, blazer freshly pressed and his backpack full of all the supplies he’s been told he needs and is greeted with the sight of literally hundreds of other students. Shiratorizawa is also big in the amount of people. There’s a lot more buildings than at Wakatoshi’s Junior High School, and each department seems to have so many different rooms that it surely would be easy to get lost.
It’s not just big in the size of the grounds, though that in itself is huge and quite overwhelming.
