Avery's POVFollowing the trajectory of the puck with the hope that it wouldn't enter the net, 'They mustn't take the first point.'Everybody seemed to be holding their breaths as they watched the puck's journey to the post.It hit the rim and bounced off, teasing the audience with the outcome.Then, after a few more seconds, it finally went in and the crowd go wild.Kate smugly glanced at me as she ran to the rink line. I pursed my lips while Bee stared at me apologetically."Sorry," Bee mouthed but I merely shook my head as if she was saying it was all right.As the bagel girl retrieved the puck from beneath the post, she quickly passed it to me.Kate must have already anticipated an easy victory.'He's underestimating me,' I thought.Taking advantage of Kate's underestimation, I took a step back and the people fell in a hush as I finally found myself in front of their goal post.My stick hit the puck in a smooth motion and it soared up above Sophie's shoulder. The arc was perfect

Avery's POVI nearly forgot about my weekly quest.I quickly shut my mouth and focused my gaze outside the window to prevent myself from saying anything else that would cause suspicion.Just then, the door slammed open and I shifted my gaze to the front. The chattering turned silent as a feeble-looking teacher with a terror-filled aura entered the room.I cursed inside my mind. It was the same teacher who scolded me on the rink, the cold game master.The game master, who seemed to have a permanent frown on his face, entered the room with a heavy sigh. His gaze swept over the class and an even louder sigh escaped his lips as soon as his eyes fell on me."Ah, as expected," the game master muttered and rubbed his temples. "The last section always has the dullest students."Kyle, the acting class president, cleared his throat and decided to take charge."Stand in attention," he announced. "Good morning, teacher."The class followed suit with our heads bowed in unison.The teacher, however

AUTHOR'S POV Wednesday finally came.Sharon, the meticulous team manager, settled herself behind the table that contained the manual scoreboard. The gym echoed with the squeaks of sneakers as the original players of Sandford High School warmed up.The smell of hardwood and the distant footsteps of students leaving the school filled the air.Sharon who was armed with a small stack of applications, couldn't help but feel a flutter of excitement in her chest.As she flipped through the pages, her eyes wandered across the names and credentials of the sixteen potential athletes. A grin crept on her face. It was more than they had anticipated."What's gotten into our pretty manager that is making her smile?" Lina asked and placed her bag on the bench while sitting next to her."Look," Sharon excitedly showed her the stack of papers. "Fourteen first-years and two second-years want to try out for the team."Lina's eyebrows raised in surprise. "Wow. It's not much, but it's definitely more tha

Avery's POV "Line up," John coldly said and I quickly complied. I stood next to the shortest guy among the applicants and it made me seem like I was standing out even more.Kate glanced at me from her position and clicked her tongue."Why is she even here?" she muttered.John stood at the very center but his gaze was focused on me."As I was saying, I do not tolerate latecomers during practices, matches and tryouts. Especially tryouts," he emphasized.I pursed my lips and kept my gaze to the front. If it weren't for that old man and his dirty car, I would have made it on time."I believe that those who are punctual will get the most blessings. With that in mind, I will now be relaying the mechanics for this tryout." John led us towards the rink. "Today, you'll be facing the current first string players of our team in three sets," he started off.The six current members of the varsity team sat cockily beside the rink like eagles that were surveying their prey. They waved at us, the n

Chapter 39Avery's POV It was definitely not yogurt-flavored.Nonetheless, the girl had just drank the milk deliciously like it hadn't gone bad."Ah, that was good," she commended. "What brand is this again?"The guy beside her nudged her shoulder and shook her head. "Stop drinking. We're already the next players. You might slow down if you get too full.""I'm fine," she boasted. "This will be my source of power!"'Source of diarrhea, you mean,' I thought within myself.The whistle sounded and the players from the second set finally made their way back to the bleachers.There was a confident smirk on Kate's lips as she sat down, feeling satisfied with her performance.Meanwhile, the varsity team players went to the side of their bench to take a short rest and rehydrate.Playing two sets without rest had definitely taken its toll on them. The second set of applicants were also undoubtedly more difficult to play against, so they asked John for a short break. Fortunately, their team cap
