Trying
Gippal walked with Kerri, hand in hand to her first period classroom. When the reached it, it was empty so the two stood outside it talking.
"Ker, I don't want you going near that kid, ever again," Gippal said he wrapped his arms around her.
She returned the gestured and placed her head on his chest. "I know, and I won't, but that doesn't mean he won't come near me…"
He rested his chin on the top of her head. "Well, if he does. You hit him and run, okay? And I'll go back and kick the crap out of him."
She laughed. "Yea because it's just that easy too."
He put on a serious face. "Kerri, I'm being serious. I know we kid about it, but at least run away from him. Don't go near him."
"I know you're concerned," She looked up at him. "I'm worried too, but like he's in a few of my classes, I can't exactly 'run away' from him."
"Alright, but I mean if he approaches you when you're alone. Do something, yell, scream, whistle, whatever and I'll come running." He looked into her eyes and smiled. "I promise."
She gazed into his emerald eyes. They were filled with concern and worry. She smiled at him. He's too good to me. I don't deserve him. She stood up on her tiptoes and gave him a gentle kiss on the lips.
"Is that all you two ever do?"
When they pulled apart they saw a smirking Baralai standing to their left. Gippal pulled Kerri into him and said, "Well, no, but that stuff isn't for public viewing."
"Gippal!" Kerri shrieked as she gave him a playful hit on the arm. She turned to Baralai, smiled and greeted him. "So, you ready for Alchem?"
He rolled his eyes. "Being partnered with Seymour? Yea right. I contemplate cutting this class everyday."
Kerri giggled. "Yea, I know. That sucks man, but think… It's almost over and then we go to college and never see him again!"
He put his hand to his chin and then smiled. "Ya know… I never thought of it that way."
"I'm just counting down the da- AHH!" She said as Tidus lifted her into the air.
"How are you this fine morning, dearest Kerri?"
"I was better when I was on the floor," she remarked as she pinched his shoulder.
"Ow. What? The baby doesn't like to be held by poppa Tidus?" He walked over to Gippal and handed her over to him. He held her princess styled and she rolled her eyes.
"Jeez, I'm being passed around like a cheap piece of metal…"
"Well, your no piece of scrap to me, you're gold in my eyes," Gippal said as he placed her back on the floor.
"Aw, how sickening."
Kerri didn't even have to turn around to know who that was. She smirked and said, "Mornin', Paine."
She smirked and leaned against the wall next to the classroom door. Kerri looked around and notice that Paine, Yuna, Tidus, Baralai, and Gippal were all standing outside her classroom. "Guys, I know Tidus and Baralai are here for class… but it's like 3 minutes till the late bell rings… and…"
But before she could finish her sentence, Gippal gave her a quick kiss before taking off down the hall followed by Yuna and Paine. Kerri laughed and entered the classroom. Kerri walked over to her desk and sat next to Tidus who was preparing his desk for a forty-minute nap.
"I don't know how you pass this class, all you ever do is sleep," she said as he put his head down on the desk.
"It's all up here." He tapped his head. "And like you should talk, last week you were practically drooling on the desk. Here allow me to demonstrate."
He threw his hands off the sides of his desk and opened his mouth while making light snoring sounds. She laughed and gave him a playful punch in the arm. "I don't drool!"
He laughed, "Whatever you say, Ker." He looked over her head and called to Baralai, "Yo B., Kerri drools in her sleep right?"
He laughed as he responded, "Yea and she snores too."
"Like you would know, Baralai." She turned back to Tidus. "You're such a jerk, seriously."
Before Tidus could say anything else, the bell rang and Professor Nooj came in and started the lesson. Tidus shrugged his shoulders and put his head down on the desk, dozing off. Kerri soon after followed in Tidus' actions.
Soon after the two were awaken from their slumber by a loud shout directed towards them. "Reina and Muratore! Have you heard one word I said?"
The both sat up immediately and looked at each other and then at Professor Nooj. He walked near the two and looked at Tidus. "Ok, Mr. Reina, what the answer to the question I just asked."
Tidus looked nervously around before replying, "uh, 7.342?"
Nooj looked at him suspiciously and then at the book. "Lucky guess." He turned his gaze to Kerri. "Ok, Ms. Muratore, what would change the speed of this reaction?"
She looked at him with a blank expression. "Uh…Well… the thing… that would... uh… change the speed of the reaction? Well do you mean make it go faster or slower?"
"Both."
She looked at the clock quickly and then back at him. Just a few more minutes. "Oh, well in that case… the thing that would uh, speed up the reaction and slow the reaction. That's an easy question… I mean do you really think this is a challenge?"
"Stop stalling, Muratore. Answer the question."
She swallowed hard. "Well…" But before she had to answer the bell rang. "Oh well would you look at that." She stood up in her seat. "That's the bell. I have to go Bye!" She grabbed her stuff and jetted out of the room.
Within seconds Tidus and Baralai came out after her. They were both laughing. She smiled at them, "That was bad…" she looked at Tidus. "How the hell did you guess that number?"
"My book was opened and I saw a number and I said it, nothing more to it," he said with a cheeky grin. "Alright well I have to go this way, so I'll see you two later."
They waved to Tidus as he ran off down the hall. "So, Ker, how was your vacation?"
"Interesting to say the least." She smiled mischievously. "Oh and next time you see Tidus, call him bubble butt."
"What?" he said confused.
She giggled. "Just do it, then tell me what happened."
He shrugged. "If you say so."
As the continued walking, Seymour was coming up behind them. "Move," he said as he pushed Baralai out of the way and into a locker.
Kerri ignored Seymour and went to tend to Baralai, but Seymour grabbed her wrist. "You think you're slick?"
She pulled her hand back and ignored him. She walked over to Baralai. "Are you ok, B.?"
He nodded and glared at Seymour. "What do you want, Seymour?"
Seymour gave Baralai a dirty look before bringing his gaze back to Kerri. She just rolled her eyes and continued walking. I'm just going to do what Gippal said to do. 'Get away from him.'
Seymour came up next to her. "So, you're just going to ignore me now?"
She continued walking. She glanced to her right where Baralai was and hooked arms with him, pulling him down the hall away from Seymour. The last thing I need is Baralai to hit him. I mean not only with it just get worse from me, but I'll hear it from Gippal too… "Come on, B., don't wanna be late for class."
He glared at Seymour. "Yea, let's go."
"Fine, later then, Kerri," Seymour spat as he stalked off to his classroom.
When they reached Kerri's next class, the two unlinked arms. He looked at her concerned. "Is he still bothering you? I mean, you'd think he'd have taken a hint when you punched him."
"Yea, this isn't the first time either."
"What do you mean?"
She smiled and said, "I'll call you later and tell you all about it, 'kay?"
He nodded. "You better." He started for his classroom. "I'll see you later."
She nodded and headed into the room where Yuna was sitting waiting for her. When Kerri took her seat Yuna glanced at her wrist, which by now had a rather large bruise on it. "Ker, what happened to your wrist?"
She glanced down and sighed. She told her everything that had happened before Yuna had gotten to school and what happened into hallway, not two minutes ago. Yuna gasped when she finished. Her eyes had anger in them. "That big jerk! Who does he think he is? Kerri don't you worry, we'll kick his ass so hard he won't know what happened to him. That stupid prick."
Kerri's eyes were wide as she listened to Yuna talk. When she finished Kerri let out a small giggle.
"What's so funny, Ker?"
"You." She replied. "I've never heard you talk that way before, it's quite amusing if I do say so myself."
Realizing how she sounded, Yuna giggled. "I guess you're right."

Finally it was time for lunch and Kerri literally raced to the cafeteria. Who was she racing? No one, Wakka told her she was crazy and Baralai agreed. She ran straight to their table where Gippal was standing. She jumped up on his back and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Hiya, sweetie."
He laughed and adjusted her weight so it was a little easier to hold her. "Miss me, much?"
"No… not really," she laughed when he got insulted. She gave him a kiss on the cheek and said, "Of course I missed you silly." Then she let go of him and got into her seat.
Nearby Seymour and his gang were taking their seats. He watched her intently as she jumped on Gippal's back. He glared at the couple and muttered a few curses under his breath.
"What's the matter, love?" LeBlanc asked as she took a seat. She looked in the direction of his gaze and rolled her eyes. "Are you still after that girl?"
"I've never seen you work so hard to get a girl, Seymour darling," Dona added as she sat down next to LeBlanc.
"Listen, it's more that just 'wanting' her... It's a sense of principle now," he brought his gaze to the two girls after Gippal and Kerri took their seats. "No longer do I just want to add her to my list, I want her as my prize. Go out with a bang before the school year ends. I mean I've been with almost every other girl in this school, what's could be better than being known for breaking up the 'cutest couple in school' because I stole his girlfriend from out under his nose." He gave them a twisted smile.
"I don't know, love, I mean it seems like an awful lot of trouble just for one girl," LeBlanc said with a roll of her eyes. "What makes her so special?"
He smirked. "I'm glad you asked. Well this one is very special. She's feisty, spunky, and full of zest…"
"Don't all those thing mean the same thing?" Ormi asked from across the table.
Seymour glared at him. "Shut up. Regardless, she's known throughout school, whether she's aware of it or not. Almost everyone knows her name."
Dona faced twisted with jealousy as she said, "Seymour… did you look at her friends? Tidus is the captain of the Blitz team, Wakka is on the team- Yuna's father is famous throughout Spira; Rikku's father is the leader of the Al Bhed. She's famous through association. It means nothing."
He slammed his hand on the table. "Damn it, Dona. I don't care. I want her. She hot, she has potential to be popular, and she's feisty all things that I find appealing in a girl I find in her."
"And when you're done with her?"
"I don't know. Might keep her as a trophy for a while… Till college gets in full swing anyway," he replied as he brought his sandwich to his mouth.

"Tryout are Wednesday, ya think you'll make it, Ker?" Yuna asked.
Kerri shrugged. "I don't know, I hope so. I've had a lot of fun playing and I can do that sphere shot that Tidus does."
Gippal stared at her wide eyes. "You can do the sphere shot. The only person on our team that can do that is Tidus…"
She smirked. "Hey, when you got it… you got it…"
Tidus rolled his eyes. "Don't be so arrogant."
Kerri let her mouth drop. "Whoa… did Tidus just use a big word!" He kicked her leg from under the table. "Ow!" she shouted as she grabbed for her leg. She narrowed her eyes and said, "Wait till later Tidus… You're gonna wake up with no hair…"
Everyone was laughing, with the exception of Tidus who's face was filled with uncertainty, even Paine smirked slightly before returning to her normal uncaring expression. Kerri was going to point it out, but decided she'd rather not die. Then laughter stopped abruptly when Dona walked over to the table.
"What do you want, Dona?" Paine asked.
I can't believe he wants me to talk to her." I just wanted to talk to my good friend, Kerri," she said as she placed her hands on Kerri's shoulders.
Kerri tensed her muscles and turned to look at Dona. "Since when are we friends, never mind 'good friends'"
"That hurts, Kerri. I was ju-"
"Just leaving? Sounds good to me," Kerri said as she turned her back to Dona. Yuna giggled and Tidus and Gippal smiled brightly at Kerri. Once again, Kerri had cause Paine to smirk. I'm on a roll with making Paine smirk today.
But Dona didn't leave, instead she pursued a conversation with Kerri. "So, Kerri, doll, how is your life going?"
Kerri turned and gave her a dirty look. "Why are you still here?"
"I just wanted to…"
"Go back to your table and leave us alone? GREAT! SEE YA!" Kerri replied as she once again turned around.
"But I…"
"Good Bye Dona," Kerri said once more not turning around.
"Fine." She stalked back to her table, highly insulted. How dare she talk to me like that. I can't believe I was forced to go talk to such low class people and what does he see in her? I see an uncouth, unrefined, wanna be popular idiot!
Kerri shook her head as the bell rang signifying the end of lunch. She walked to the garbage and disposed of her lunch. Gippal walked behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist. He planted a kiss on the crook of her neck and said, "I'll see you later."
She smiled and said, "Yea. Eighth period. Be there or… I'll be mad."
He laughed. "Then I better be there… I like my hair."
She smiled and ran off to meet Cee to go to magic. "Cee!" Kerri called out when she spotted her. She stopped walking and waited for her. Hm, I wonder whom she's talking to. When Kerri got closer to her, she realized she was talking to Seymour. Oh no… When Kerri reached them, she smiled at Cee and avoided eye contact with Seymour. "So whatcha up to, Cee?"
She smiled and said, "I was talking with that boy in our Magic class. His name is Seymour. Have you two met?"
She rolled my eyes and under her breath she said, "unfortunately."
Well this worked well…He grabbed her hand and kissed it. "It is a pleasure to see you again, Kerri."
She grabbed her hand back and wiped it on her pants. She glared at him. What the hell is he doing?
"Oh, you two know each other? I didn't think you did, since you guys like never talk," Cee said as they continued down the hall.
"Yea, you would never know." Kerri then added under her breath, "And I would like to keep it that way…"
"Kerri and I have a few classes in common. We share Alchemistry, Lunch and Magic." He looked over Cee to Kerri. "Isn't that correct, dear?"
She shuddered. Dear? What the hell? Again with the dear? What part of I don't like you doesn't he get? She forced a smiled on and through her teeth she said, "Yea…"
Cee shot her a curious glance, before Seymour walked in between the two girls, placing his arms around both girl's shoulders. Kerri pushed his arms off of her. "I have a boyfriend…"
"I know," he said in a slightly menacing tone. "I'm just being friendly," He placed his arm over her shoulder again. "You do this with Baralai and Tidus, no?"
"There is a bit of a difference there," she replied as she pushed his arms off her once again. "So if you don't mind please respect my boundaries."
Oh, I'll respect your boundaries alright…He smiled and replied, "As you wish."Kerri walked slightly ahead of Seymour and Cee. She could feel his eyes watching her. She continued walking and without hesitation she walked right into Magic and straight to her desk, followed by Cee and Seymour. She groaned. Why can't he just go jump off the building or something?
Thankfully, the bell rang and Seymour went to his desk, but not before dropping off a note on Kerri's desk. When did he have time to write a note to me! She unfolded the note and read it.
Dearest Kerri,
I realized some of our past maybe questionable and you may not trust me
May not! Kerri thought to her self. That's funny.
But I ask for another chanceYea… and I want a million gil, but it ain't happening…
I've also noticed how hostile you act towards me in the hallway. If you do not cease this behavior and refuse my apology.
Kerri looked over the note. Apology… where?Then I will be forced take action. You are forewarned, Kerri Muratore.
Yours truly,
Seymour…
Kerri looked at the note as if it were a fiend. Forced to take action? How about forced to take a flippin' hint! Is this supposed to be a threat? I'm not even gonna give him the satisfaction of thinking this is going to affect me. She quietly took another piece of paper out of her binder and folded it up. She walked to the front of the room and threw the paper out , hoping Seymour would think it was note. She walked back to her desk, not even glancing at Seymour.
Kerri and Cee worked for forty minutes on their Thundara spells. Kerri was enjoying herself when the bell rang and Kerri was forced to leave the room. She quickly jetted out of the room and headed to her favorite class. Warrior training.
She threw open the door and walked over to Tidus who was talking to Auron. "What's up, guys?"
Tidus smiled at her and ruffled her hair. "Nothing, kiddo."
She pulled away from him. "Tidus! The hair!"
Auron smirked. "You two are becoming more and more like each other. I don't know whether I should be amused or thoroughly horrified."
"Haha. Very funny" Kerri said as she took her seat in the front of the classroom. (Yea she finally got a seat!) Tidus sat behind her and Kerri looked up to Auron. "So what are we going today?"
"New partners. You and Tidus are partners now, seeing as how you two fight regardless, I figured might as well have some rules." He smirked at the two frowning kids. "We'll be observing everyone's fighting skills. You two are going to go first, well after me and Paine."
Kerri turned to Tidus. "Scared?"
"You wish," he said as he pushed her head.
After the bell rang signifying class was starting, Auron stood in front of the class and read off the new pairs. After everyone gathered in their pairs, Auron and Paine stood in the center of the classroom and sparred. Kerri was amazed on how good Paine was. After Auron disarmed Paine he wiped his brow and looked at Tidus and Kerri.
"Muratore and Reina, you're next. Now don't harm one another, simply disarm."
Kerri and Tidus walked into the center of the circle of kids and stood at a five-foot distance. They bowed their head and when Auron shouted, Begin, the began. Kerri took a high swing at Tidus, which he blocked easily and tried to disarm her. Kerri spun around once more and took another swing at Tidus, this time it was lower. He jumped back and took a head on hit at Kerri. She brought her sword up quickly and he pressed down on his. He got mere inches from Kerri face and said, "Nervous?"
She laughed and pushed with all her strength, pushing him backward. "I'm never nervous," she said as she took another swing at him. He blocked it and she did the same move he did before.
When she was close to his face she smirked and Tidus said, "Since when did you get so good?" He gave a push causing her to stumble back a few feet.
"Since I practice with Auron…" she said as she jumped over his sword as he took a swing as her lower portion to her body. They took a few more swings at each other, before Kerri back handspringed and kicked his wrist, making his grip on the sword slip and his sword fall. She smirked at his surprised face.
He turned to Auron. "Isn't that cheating?"
Auron smirked. "Tidus, I said disarm, didn't say how…"
He narrowed his eyes at Kerri. "I want a rematch when we get home."
She shrugged. "Well, if you wanna get embarrassed again, sure why not?"
Auron walked between the two teens. "Ok, well… It looks like that's all the time we have for today. Tomorrow I want you all to be ready to spar." He walked to the front of the room and began collecting the weapons. Auron went to say something else, but luckily for everyone else the bell rang. Kerri hopped out of her desk and ran out of the room being followed by Tidus.
888
The day proceeded remaining mainly uneventful, as did the next day. It consisted mostly of Kerri going from class to class avoiding Seymour at all costs. Finally it was Wednesday and the final bell of the day rang. Kerri walked out of the gym and met up with Tidus and Gippal. "Ready for try outs?"
Gippal smiled and nodded. "I apologize in advance for any damage I may inflict upon you in the sphere. I'm not gonna hold back."
She smirked. "Same goes for me."
The three of them said goodbye to the other three and made their way to the sphere pool. When they got there Wakka was already there with a multitude of others willing to try out for the Blitz team. Kerri looked around and noticed she was the only girl trying out for the Blitz team. "Um.. Gippie? Am I allowed to try out for the team, there are only boys here…"
"Of course you can. Its co-ed, just not many girl try out since they have cheerleading. But don't expect anyone to be thrilled that you're trying out," he warned her.
"Thanks for the warning…" she sarcastically remarked.
When the coach walked out he eyed Kerri curiously. "Can I help you?"
"I'm here to try out," she replied. This reply was apparently funny because when she said everyone with the exception of Tidus, Wakka, Gippal and the couch was laughing.
"Are you sure? I mean, girls are allowed, but it is a lot of work," he informed her.
She nodded her head. "Never been more sure of a thing," she replied with a smirk.
"Alright, what's your name?"
"Kerri Muratore."
"Alright, Muratore, we'll see what you can do," he replied as he wrote her name down on the board. "But there will be no preferential judging. I won't be easy on you because you are a girl."
"I would never expect you to," she replied as she took a seat next to Tidus.
The coach turned and faced the crowd of kids. "Ok well as you all know, this is the Blitz try outs. I will expect you to do your best and I do not do favorites. I have the captain here with me, Tidus Reina and the other players here as well. They will be helping in the tryouts, Ok, well let's see. There are a lot of you here today, so this is what I'm going to do. A-L your tryouts are tomorrow, M-Z your tryouts are today. So anyone with the last name beginning with A through L leave now, please."
A large group of kids got up from their seats and left the sphere pool arena. Kerri turned to Gippal. "Well, I just made that cut-off." He smiled and nodded.
"Alright, well let's get this started." He called off the names of 16 people at random. Gippal was in that group along with a bunch of other guys.
"Good luck," Kerri called to him.
He turned and winked. "Thanks, but I don't need it."
Kerri rolled her eyes and watched as they scrimmaged. Tidus was still sitting next to her. "Looks like you got a fun bunch of guys you're gonna scrimmage with."
Kerri looked around. They guys were a assortment of guys. Some were fat other were built while others were skinny beyond all reason, however, they all share one thing. The desire to be on the Blitz team. Kerri smiled. "I can so take 'em."
Tidus nodded. "No doubts here."
After some more time, it was finally time for Kerri's group to scrimmage. They all stood up and the coach called Kerri and Tidus over to him. They walked over to him and he explained that they are going to be on opposing teams. Kerri laughed. "Lemme guess, since I live with him you think he won't go easy on me, that way it doesn't seem like I have an advantage?" The Coach nodded.
They both jumped into the pool and the members of the teams assigned positions for each of them to play and they would rotate every so often, so everyone got a chance to play every position. Kerri starts as goalie, meaning she would play center forward last. Finally after proving to the other guys and the coach that she meant business, the people started to take her seriously.
When she finally reached center forward, Tidus was on the opposition. He smirked at her. "You ready for this, Ker? Cause I am not going to go easy on ya…"
"Like I'm going to go easy on you," she replied.
The whistle blew signifying the start of the scrimmage. She and Tidus both jumped up for the ball. Kerri just missed the ball by milliseconds. Tidus smirked at her before he took off again down the sphere. Kerri went right after him. She and another player blocked his path. The first guy 'tackled' him, but nothing happened. Tidus laughed and Kerri smirked at him. She came right for him, breaking his hold on the ball.
She took off down the sphere and was blocked by two people trying out for the team. She smirked and braced herself for the tackles. They both hesitated. She looked up and smirked. "That was the biggest mistake you could have made." She broke through the two and looked at the clock. It was two minutes till the scrimmage would be ended. She saw Tidus out of the corner of her eye. She could see he was smirking.
As Kerri was setting up to make a shot, Tidus had to smirk to himself. That little show off. She's going to do the sphere shot I showed her… And sure enough, she brought the ball out of the water, flipped over and kicked the ball straight at the goal. The ball sailed right by the goalie and the whistle blew, signifying the end of tryouts. When she came back down into the sphere, everyone mouth was practically on the floor.
The coach called over the loud speaker, "Muratore, come here please."
She swam to the bottom of the sphere and exited. She was handed a towel and she walked to the coach. He smiled brightly. "You did a sphere shot, correct?"
"That's what Tidus calls it…" She said as she placed the towel around her shoulders.
The coach nodded. "Well, Ms. Muratore, consider yourself a player of the Besaid Vikings."
She smiled brightly. "Awesome!" she exclaimed.
"But," he added quickly. "Mention this to no one. I'll be posting up the player who made the A and B team on Friday. You, missy, are on the A-team. See you round." He patted her on the back and Gippal ran over to her and scooped her up in his arms.
"I am so proud of my little girlie," he said as he spun her around.
She wrapped her arms around him. "Thanks… I think."
He smirked. "Aren't you going to congratulate me?"
She smiled. "you made it?"
"The A-Team." He smiled. "Coach told me he was hoping I would try out again. He told me I didn't even have to try out and he was going to take me."
"AWESOME!" She yelled.
"Shh… Don't be so loud, the other have to wait till Friday to find out."
She smiled and kissed him "Okidook."
A few minutes after this, the coach made a speech and dismissed them. Wakka, Tidus, Gippal, and Kerri walked out to the parking lot. Gippal and Kerri said their goodbyes and Kerri got in the car with Tidus.
"Congrats, Runt…"
She smiled. "Thanks… and don't call me runt…"
888
Finally it was Friday and the rosters for the Blitz team would be posted. She and Gippal casually walked over to the sign and looked for their names. Under the 'A-Team' List was Gippal Sagona and Kerri Muratore. Gippal smirked as he said, "Congrats, Ker."
She smiled and replied, "Right back atcha."
They walked their separate ways to their first period classrooms. When Kerri reached her first period, Tidus was sitting at his desk with a smile plastered on his face.
"Hey, Tidus!"
He turned to her. "I have great news!"
"Seymour died!" she exclaimed back.
"No…" Kerri pouted as Tidus continued. "We're going to get to miss first period because they're calling a meeting for the Blitz players."
She smiled. "That is great news, but when do you think they are going to call the meeting?"
As if on cue, the PA system came on and the coach of the A-Team came over the speaker. "Attention please. I need all the members of the A-Team Varsity Blitz team to report to the Sphere. Thank You."
Kerri smiled. "Well that answers my question."
The two of them walked up to Professor Nooj telling him they were in school before leaving for the sphere. On the way there they met up with Gippal and Wakka. Wakka mussed Kerri's hair as he said, "You think you can play with the big boys, Runt?"
She pouted. "Why is everyone calling me 'runt'?" She glared at Gippal who had a smirk. "Don't even think about it…" she warned.
He put on an innocent face as he replied, "I would never…"
After reaching the Sphere, they took their seats on the bleachers. They waited a few minutes before the Coach came into the room and began talking. "Welcome and congratulations to those select few of you who were chosen for the A- Varsity Team." He looked at his clipboard before looking back up at the kids. "Let's meet the new players shall we?" He paused. "Ok, well, you all know him, some of you hate him, others love him, and he isn't new, but merely returned, Gippal Sagona."
Gippal walked down to where the coach was and waved to the group of kids. "It's great to be back," he said as the group of kids clapped their hands together. Kerri rolled her eyes. What a ham…
The Coach called out another five name before he got to Kerri. "Now, this player I save for last because not only did this player show an great deal of sportsmanship, but also had awesome talent. For the first time in 20 years, we have a girl on the team. Please, team welcome, Kerri Muratore."
She got up and walked down to where the other guys were. Some of the team stared at her dumbfounded while others whispered among themselves. She smiled uncomfortably and gave a small wave to the group of guys. Tidus and Wakka stood up and started to clap for her and slowly but surely the rest of the team followed suit.
The Coach patted her on the back before they took their seats once more. "Ok, well I've called you all down here because you have a game on Saturday." Kerri looked at the guy like he was crazy, but he continued, "It's against the B-Team. Kinda like a Pep Rally, before the homecoming next weekend. We will be practicing like crazy next week since it's our first game and we have 6 people to train. Be prepared to work your buts off, kids. All right dismissed. It's time for your second period. So, I'll see you tomorrow."
The team walked out talking feverishly among themselves. Kerri had a huge smile plastered on her face. "I am so excited, I can't believe I'm on this team."
Gippal smirked, "Yea, and wait till our first official home game. It is such a rush."
Kerri wrapped her arms around him. "I can't wait…"
