Chapter 1: Shattered
"The last 50 seconds, and the Seraphims are still behind by 10 points!"
Sweat trickled down everyone's forehead. Either Shouda gets the freaking ball, or, the Devils are gonna get another 3 pointer.
"And Shouda snatches the ball from Yamada's hands! She dribbles and shoots. And it's down to a 7 point difference!"
The seaweed green haired girl passed the ball over to a certain brunette. The brunette with a light flick of her wrist, tossed the ball, right smack into the basket.
"4 points to go, 30 more seconds, till the buzzer sounds."
Sometimes, the brunette just wishes the commentator would shut his ass up.
Then, a fierce fight ensued. The spectators watched on helplessly as they cheered for their respective favourite teams. The ball flew across the court every second and no team has yet to own possession of the orange ball.
"The last 20 seconds!" The tension was rising. It was now or never, win or lose.
Finally, a tall blue coloured hair girl jumped into action and held possession of the ball. Into the hoop it goes, another 1 more point.
Everyone's eyes turned to the now blinking scoreboard. It was countdown-able now. 10…9…8…
"7 more seconds!"
The brunette rushed up to grab the ball but who knew?
"Sumire got the ball before it reached Sakura and it's a 3…" *bzzzzz* "Now, ladies and gentleman, you have to admit, that was the best buzzer bear, I have ever seen. Congratulations! The winners of this season: The Seraphims!"
Everyone at the stadium stood up to hail upon their new basketball champion. But if you looked closely, you'd see, a lonely figure, making her way back to her lockers. Yes, the brunette. She hated it, she hated herself for being so useless.
SLAM!
The locker door slammed down, tightly closed. She clenched her fists tightly.
She hated it.
Meanwhile…
He let go of the violin bow and looked straight into the judges' eyes.
His 3rd audition. If he fails… what would he do. Just a solemn shake of head from the judge, he knew it was over… all over.
It would be stupid… if he blindly continues this dream of his. Nothing's ever gonna come out of it. Should he let it go?
Or not.
