Chapter 2
Sakura's P.O.V
We got to the gymnasium at 2 p.m and started with our stretches. After that we did lay ups. Lay ups are so much fun! They are the easiest shots anyways. Then we started the train. We only had twelve players on our team, so at one end of the court, there was six of us and the other six were on the other side. When our coach blew her whistle, we would have to hit the the backboard and run to the other side. If the ball hits the floor, we have to do one extra suicide. Our coach blew her whistle one last time and told us to line up on the baseline. We all knew what was coming.
"It came to my attention that one of our teammates was caught flirting!", said our coach. We all groaned. "Curse the person for flirting with a boy!",thought Inner Sakura. "The person who was caught was Miss Arai". We all gave her the death glare. Except Hinata.
"Sorry", she mumbled, looking down. " And don't forget the extra two lay ups, for dropping the balls", stated coach.
We all grew furious, that we had to do fifteen suicides. They weren't just normal suicides. When we got back to the baseline, we had to have our hands in the air and jump up and down. Coach blew the whistle and we started our first suicide. She blew the whistle every time we had to start again. We were up to our tenth suicide, when I noticed the same boy, I saw earlier. When we were finished with our suicides, our coach told us to huddle up.
"O.k, we have half an hour left in here, so were going to play scrimmage", said coach. She split us up into two groups. Skins vs. Shirts. I was on the skins side. As always, skins had to take off there shirts. This was so embarrassing in front of everyone. I had Tenten, Hinata, Arai and Cho on my team. We were against Ino, Kei, Andrea(andy for short), Melon and Pop(that was the nick name we gave her).
Me and Andy started out in the middle for jump ball. "Skins east, shirts west". Coach threw the ball in the air and i hit it towards Tenten. Tenten caught the ball and dribbled it to the end of the court to make a lay up. Twenty-five minutes passed and we were all sweating pretty hard. Not that we weren't already. More people came into the gymnasium because they were waiting for us to end.
Ino was coming up with the ball and she passed it to Kei. Luckily, I got the before her and went down court. I shot a three pointer and it went in! We were tied now with Ino's team. 18 to 18. We went overtime. Overtime with us is very different from all the others. We have one player from each side, go one on one. Unfortunately, it was me vs. Pop. She's known for her nickname. If you know what I mean. And instead of full court, it's half court. Pop started with the ball, since I scored the last shot. She brought out the ball and went for a two point shot. I hit the ball before it hit the rim.
I got the ball and I was already at the three point line. I shot the ball. Everything went silent for a few seconds. Until Pop hit the ball back. She it a little to hard, because before my eyes, the ball was coming at me. At first, I was kind of in the air. Then I landed in the bleachers. I thought I broke my back, but I felt someone under me. I couldnt tell who it was 'cause I felt this stinging on my cheek, left arm and right leg.
My head began to ache. I thought I was hearing a whistle going off and on in my head.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
When I woke up, I was in a very, very white place. And then I noticed my teammates and some other people I didn't recognized surrounded by me. The first person I heard was Pop. She was holding my hand and kept on repeating "I'm so sorry, Sakura-san". I winced at how loud she seemed to be.
"It's O.k, Pop. I finally get to know what it feels to get popped by you!", I said with a painful smile. She smiled back at me and let go of my hand. Coach came up to me. "What are the damages?", I asked.
"Nothing serious. Your right ankle is swollen and your left arm is sprained", she answered.
"Will I still be able to play?"
"Yes! Of Course! Get some rest though". She then hauled everyone out of my room. After a few minutes I heard a knock on the door. "Come in", I said a little weakly. It was coach again, but someone was with her. When she was close to me, I didn't understand what was going on.
"What's the matter coach?"
"It's not that important, but you'll have to have separate practices from the team", she answered not looking at me. There was total shock in my eyes.
"W-who's going to practice with me?"
"That's why I brought someone with me. He owes me a favor, so he will be glad to work with you", she clearly stated. That someone, him to be exact, moved to the left of my coach. My eyes grew big. It was the same coach who used to teach the high school team. I didn't really notice what his hair color was. It was a light white but more like silver, and he had something covering his face. He broke my train of thought when he put his hand out and said, "It's great to meet you. I'm looking forward to our practices". I raised my un-sprained hand and our hands collided.
"Me too", was all I could say.
A/N: this is a short chapter and it had to do with Sakura. I think I'll do that in some chapters. It depends on how I'm feeling...well you guys should figure out who her new coach is...i changed it for some reasons and those reasons are to be kept secret.
bye!
