Cyma got to the court and everyone was warming up, bouncing balls, dunking balls and all the rest stuff.
She dropped her stuff and sat down watching them do their thing.
" And what do you think you're doing?" A voice came from behind and she turned to see who it was. A lady with a whistle hang around her neck was standing behind her looking furious, it didn't take long before cyma knew that was their coach.
" I'm sorry" cyma said getting up quickly
" Take a lap" she said
" A lap?"
" It means round the court" a girl said
" Oh, sure" cyma said running round and when she got back, the lady blew the whistle
" Gather around!" she yelled and everyone came together.
" Looks like some of you don't know why you're here. You" she said pointing at a girl
" Why are you here?" She asked still yelling
" To play" the girl said
" You're wrong, get out" she yelled
" I'm dead" cyma thought as the lady continue to send people out
" Captain Morris" she said
" Yes coach" the guy said
" Why are you here?"
" To live our lives for the goal" he said
" You gotta be kidding me" cyma thought as a drop of sweat appeared of her face
" Exactly. Now fall into your troops" she yelled and they did.
She mixed both boys and girls together, how were they meant to survive.
" Good thing I play with boys" cyma thought as she stood there with the new recruits
" Now, let's see what we have here" the coach says looking at them one by one
" Too skinny, out" she said to one of the new guys
" Too short, out" she said to two of the new girls
" Too chubby, out" she said to another new guy
" You three, to my office now" she yelled and they ran to her office
" OMG!, I can't believe we are only three remaining out of 15 new members" the girl who helped cyma earlier said
" I heard she's scary but I want expecting this" the guy said
" She's psycho" cyma said and the coach entered
" I heard that, I'll show you what psycho is. 50 laps" she said to cyma
" 50?, are you joking?. The court is so big, it took me almost 5 minutes to run round it" cyma said
" You talking back at me huh?"
" No, but..."
" No buts, if you're not fit for this you can leave. Quitter"
" I'm not a quitter" cyma said going to do the 50 laps
" You two, clean up this place" the coach says leaving
" Yes coach" they said in unison
" She can't be serious, she'll pass out before she even gets to 20" the girl said
" I know" the guy said as they watch her run
Vinny sat by the pool side warning up just like the rest.
" You have good physique" a guy said from behind
" Oh thank you, you too" Vinny said
" I'm a senior, you are?"
" A junior"
" I mean your name"
" Vinny"
" Nice, I've been on the swimming team for some time now and it would be nice to have you on the team as well. I mean, I hope you make the team"
" Kind of having a second thought just looking at my opponents"
" Don't worry, just keep your breathing on hold till you get to the end. Then release it and push with full force on the end, it will give you a quick boost to get back before anyone else"
" Is that a swimming technique"
" It's actually the team secret technique"
" And you shared it with me?"
" Yeah, cause I know you'll be a member soon" he said patting Vinny shoulder
" Thanks"
" Good luck" he said leaving
" Out of my way peasant" Jenna said pushing Vinny
" Hey watch it" Vinny said
" You" they both said
" What are you even doing here?" Vinny asked
" Are you blind?"
" You're the one whose blind, you bumped into me"
" I mean can't you see I'm wearing a trunk, and you asking what I'm doing here?. I'm here for the team, you moron"
" Oh, I thought you just came to play with water"
" Haha, very funny. Now if you excuse me, I have some girls to beat" she said leaving
The guys were lined up in front of the pool as the girls were competing first.
" Hey, you seem like a good guy. I'll share something a senior just told me" a guy beside Vinny said
" Um... What's that?" Vinny asked acting dumb
" The team secret technique, you hold your breath....."
" Hold on, he told you too"
" Yeah, what do you mean by you too?"
" He told me as well, but why will he go around to cast the team secret technique"
" Except it's not the team secret technique, maybe he's just trying to fool us"
" He went to everyone apart from that guy over there"
" Maybe he's just trying to make us lose to that guy, I mean come to think of it holding your breath for that long in water and then releasing your breath still in water will make you wanna gasp for air and it will surely slow you down"
" You're right, he just tricked everyone here so that guy will win."
" I mean are we even sure this guy is even on the team"
" You're right he wasn't even putting on the team's trunk"
The whistle blew for the female competition and for some minute, Jenna just disappeared Into the water.
" Is she nuts, how will she beat those ladies if she's not even showing" Vinny said
" Who are you talking about?" The guy asked
" There she is" Vinny said as she was on her way back from the end.
The gap she had given the girls was so much, nobody could believe their eyes.
" Jenna?, I mean you know Jenna Smith" the guy asked
" Not know her like know her" Vinny said
" I told you I'll beat those girls" Jenna said passing by them and the guy stared at Vinny
" She was probably talking to herself" Vinny says as they went on their track
" No matter what happens, I want to see you on the team" the guy said
" Same here, but I don't even know your name" Vinny said and they blew the whistle
Just as expected the other guys tried the fake secret technique and they ended up slowing down their game. It was Vinny, the guy with him and the other guy the senior was trying to help that were in the lead but in the blink of an eye they came to end. Vinny had happened to stretch his hand to touch it at the same time the guy got there, so it was a tie between the two.
" Wow" Vinny said
" seems like we'll have to rematch " the guy said
" Yes"
" It's Victor by the way"
" Vinny"
" I didn't know you had it in you" Jenna said approaching and victor stared at Vinny
" The coach is here" Vinny said dragging Victor away
" That was an excellent performance from you all but we only got the pick the best. We only pick two new people, a make and a female but this time we're making an exemption. We had a tie in the make category so we'll be picking three new members." The coach said handing them the teams trunk before leaving
" Look like we both got in" Vinny said
" Yeah" victor said
" Don't get too excited, it's not gonna be easy here, trust me" a guy said
" Yeah, that guy over there is the captain and he wanted his brother to win but you two spoilt it so he's really going to make it hard for you guys" another guy said pointing at the senior from earlier
" His name is Jack, I've heard of him. He's a jerk, but he's not my problem" Jenna said
" What do you mean?" Vinny asked
" I wasn't the one who made his brother lose so, it's on you two" she said
" I'm victor" he says stretching his hand for an handshake but she just looked at him and left
" I was trying to warn you" Vinny said
" Newbies, clean up" Jack said pouring more dirt on the floor and he left
" We're so done" victor said
" Yeah" Vinny said
