ODETTE MOETTI WAS interesting.
It was half-five on a Tuesday morning and I was thinking about a girl I'd only learnt the name of yesterday: I wasn't sure which was more bizarre.
There was no way on earth that I'd usually be up at this time; I loved my sleep. But I'd woken up some time in the night and couldn't rest. It didn't take long for me to deduct that my first basketball practice scheduled for today was responsible.
The bad sleep cycle was just a physical manifestation of my anxiety on how well it would go. Still, I'd felt too antsy to sit in bed with only my thoughts for company, so I'd left my bed for the court.
But I'd only just entered the court when my mind had drifted to Odette. In my defence, the statement was relevant, especially after last night.
Despite how quiet she was initially, she'd ended up making a joke by the end of the night. As horrible as it was, it'd made me laugh and reminded me of Cai's opinion of my own ( so I couldn't say much ). I didn't know where she'd pulled it from with the stressful evading we were doing minutes before. I was ready to throttle Neo for nearly landing us in trouble but she'd eased the tension before it had come to that.
Last night had taught me that poets didn't go on and on about eyes of their muses for no reason. Hers were such a dark shade of brown, they were almost black. They were the first thing my gaze was drawn too every time I looked to her and it was difficult to escape their pull. I really hoped she hadn't felt my fast heart rate when we'd had to hold hands.
Against my will, my gaze drifted to the hand that had been in hers. I felt heat climb up my neck at the memory and shook my head of the thought.
I need to focus on basketball, not pretty girls.
I dropped my sports bag on the bench closest to the right hoop. I took a quick swig from the water bottle I'd taken out of the mini fridge in the dorm. I needed to warm up, then grab a ball. I'd decide on what skill to practice then.
I nodded to myself and put the bottle back by my bag before starting my warm up. As usual, I began with stretches to ensure I wouldn't pull anything vital. Then I moved on to a couple of laps round the court to get my heart pumping and blood flowing.
Feeling energised, I went and grabbed a basketball from the storage room. Despite being filled to the brim with basketball equipment, it was tidy. I didn't doubt Cai's deep clean from last year was still in affect.
I headed back to the right hoop and readied myself to start taking shots. My first one went in easy and I jogged to go get it from where it rolled away when I heard the court doors open. I payed it no mind; I wouldn't be surprised if Neo had trailed in after me.
