Thanks for the reviews! Loved them. Here is Chapter 2. One quick note to make before I start: Aribella is like me, Ryelle is like my BFF who I couldn't live without, and Konstantine is like my other friend who is an avid writer. Hope you like it. The characters will likely get OOC in the next chapters but live with it. It won't be too serious. I don't own PoT or any of the songs that I use as references. Oh, and sorry if my talking sounds weird. I'm from Pittsburgh and one of the girls will have the Pittsburgh accent.

The Challenge

Ryelle stood at the net looking in the green eyes of her captain. She was the third best on the team and she couldn't get over the fact that she would lose again. This threatened her place on the team, singles 3, that was her spot through and though. Ryelle wanted to show that she could play tennis as well as she said that she did. That morning while they were running she got the challenge from Aribella. She knew better than to speak like that while they were running.

"Ari, sorry, I lost my temper. Please forgive what I had done," Ryelle said bowing her head.

"Go back and serve to me already. You need to use all force to win this because I will not go easy on you for what you did. You have been on this team for two years and you know better than to do that when we are training," Aribella said through her teeth. She was mad beyond belief. Her team wasn't following what she wanted them to do.

Ryelle served the ball. Aribella quickly aced it back to her.

"Game and match to Aribella. 6-0," Konstantine said.

The team walked into the school. Ryelle stood on the court. She couldn't believe that she lost, again. She couldn't under stand how it happened.

"Ryelle, you have come a long way. You just need to know how real this feels. (A/N this is a reference to a Firescape song. This Feels.) Just add a little more power to it and you are golden," Aribella said.

"Thanks, you really handled those Seigakus good. Show then the real power of our team!" Ryelle exclaimed.

"That was nothing out of the ordinary. They already knew who I was from last night."

"What do you mean last night?"

"When I went running I ran into them."

"Let me guess, you took out your earphone after their captain was done talking to you."

"Know me all too well."

The two girls caught up to Konstantine and Noella. Noella was an ordinary girl. Her family was from America along with Ryelle's.

"See ya later," Aribella said to the three girls. Her room just had to be different from the others. She just wanted to talk about the meeting this morning.

LUNCH

Aribella sat down with her team and they wanted to talk about what happened. She just told them that she ran into them and that was that.

"Look, I love them and all but they need an attitude check. That is why I shocked them with my music," Aribella said.

"Can you take those things out of your ears? Damnit, you need a new thing to do." Konstantine said.

"You caught on. I need to memorize a new play list for the next match."

"Wait, you were doing that during the match this morning weren't you?" Ryelle said.

"So?"

"So! That is the reason that you are so good at concentrating! You listen to music in your head and make it your play list that is going to win for you. You never need to play! Then why do you need to have a play list?"

"Just in case, now calm down. You messed me up. This is my favorite song. Damn. I need to listen to it all over again. That is nine minutes that needs attention again."

"Konstantine!" Ryelle yelled at the Italian vice captain.

"Yup that's the song!"

The team looked at her strangely.

"Konstantine by Jack's Mannequin. Jeez just let me be," Aribella said.

"The Seigakus seemed like they were surprised that we were actually a decent team," Trischa said.

"Well, they are a nationally ranked team and we were keeping up with them. It is only natural that they would be surprised that we were good today. I say that we let tonight's practice go. I have work to do at home," Aribella said looking at her music.

"Right, do you want me to handle it?" Konstantine said.

"No I need to work with the team as well. Just let it go for today."

AFTER SCHOOL WALKING HOME

Aribella walked the same path that she did the day before. She noticed the face of Tezuka staring at her.

"What do you want?" Aribella asked.

"Why aren't you practicing?" He asked back.

"Family issues. Cancelled the practice for today," Aribella replied.

"You can actually hear me."

"What I missed that. Guitar solo (funny a solo came up on my computer as I was writing this)."

"Leave," he said sternly.

"Jeez, every time that I do that you tell me to leave. How nice of you. Fine I was gonna say that the ball will land out in that match between Fuji and Momo. Fuji will lose the point to Momo."

"Point to Momo. 30-40!" Oishi yelled.

"Told ya," Aribella said.

The team looked in awe as she left. She knew that she was digging herself into a nice deep shit hole with them, but she knew how to get out of it.

All for now. I'll update later this week. I have two big exams to study for. Thanks for the reviews. Can't wait to read what you think! ;)
