*crowd cheering*

i feel it

all this power

so this is what it feels like

i'm able to breeze through their defense like nothing. i don't even need my teammates at this point

i'm unstoppable

i slam the ball in the net

*crowd cheering*

"no way~"

"how is that even possible, for someone to have so much power?"

we only need another basket to win

i've got this

"Nice job y/n!!" my teammate says while raising her hand up to give me a high five

"yeah" i say as i step past her

"just keep passing me the ball" i state while my back had been facing her. i can see my whole teams face. the shock and judgement that was written all over their faces. it's not a surprise to me though. i am the best right here, right now. that is why i am the ace

with all this power right now i can't stop now. i want more. as i start to take another step my calf's start to begin to feel heavy

no...

why now?!

i was just beginning too

i try and push my pain aside

it doesn't matter now

all i know is that i need to make another basket to win. i begin running ignoring the pain. i shove passed my teammate taking the ball from her hands. "too slow" i say as i continue running towards the basket. i was too focused on what i was doing i couldn't even see the shock and disappointment in her eyes. brushing past the other teams defense i was about to slam the ball in once again

but

i couldn't

it had felt as if the room was spinning. no matter what i did i couldn't jump. it had felt as if i was being held down by chains. i fall to my knees

*BUZZ*

that day i lost the winter cup. i look back to that day. even if i wanted to pass the ball, i wouldn't, even if it was possible for me to pass the ball in time, i still wouldn't have

*

later on i had quit basketball. not because i lost, but because i had learned that it would be the last time i would be able to play. i had tore my right knee. the doctors told me that i would still be able to walk and function right, but i just wouldn't be able to play basketball at the level i was playing at. it sucked. after the incident my grandma believed that since i wasn't going to be playing basketball anymore that it would be best to further my education back in my home country, japan
