You were in the middle of a volleyball match but you were thinking about the Winter Ball that is going to take place next week. You are doing your job as a libero perfectly even though your mind was flying far away. You were playing out of reflexes, force of habit. You were pretty tall, in comparison with the average height, but you really like this libero position in the highschool's volleyball team.
Your team was leading so you weren't worried.

A lot of girls and guys were cheering for your team and that made you feel even more confident. In the opposite team was Tienna, and you wanted to lowkey embarrass her in front of the school. The Starbucks scene was sorta private as not a lot of people saw you. Your mind flew back into your body, thinking about a strategy to win the game. As you were waiting for the ball to reach your territory, you decide to hit it in an outer direction, so the other team will not be able to reach it. You squat down, hitting the ball, passing it to the outside hitter, whom jumped and hit the ball exactly how you wanted it to be hit. The ball almost hit the other team's ground, until a hand popped under it, making it bounce and the game continued. Tienna. She got a highlight. Whatever. Then their right side hitter hit the ball that was going very far and you were the closest to it. You steryed running but halfway you realised you weren't going to reach the ball by running. So you decide to dive, throwing your entire body in the air. For the very few fractions of second, there was an unexplainable tension flowing in your veins, and you could feel how everybody was looking at you, staying in suspense, waiting to see if you will reach the ball or not.

After the ball touches your hand, making it avoid the floor and going back to your team's territory, you exhale and put your arms in front of you to not get hurt from the dive. After you hit the ball, you hear a very, very loud cheer for you. After that, your team's right side hitter propulsed the ball so hard that the opposite team's middle blocker couldn't save it, and your team won the game. Your teammates screamed in happiness and you all did a big group hug. Everyone watching the game was cheering our team's name and we were jumping along with the beat of their screams. You were in the highlight now, as your teammates picked you up while you were holding the cup. You took a glance at Tienna. She was sooo mad. Her eyebrows were furrowed forming wrinkles between her eyes. Her gaze was burning your blood. Whatever. After everyone came to you and your teammates to congratulate you all for winning, Kat came to you.

"You did amazing. Good job, Kira"

"Thank you, ba-" you said but some voice interrupyed you, making you turn to your right, and so did Kat.

You saw a bunch of girls hiding behind the audience seats to spy on you and Kat. Play along, you whispered to Kat.

"Thank you, bastard. Now did you clean my white shirt? The one you spilled your disgusting coffee on yesterday? "

"Girl I'm trying to be nice for once and you start screaming?!" Kat asked intrigued.

"Well I wonder who is at fault because my beautiful white shirt is now stained with coffee!" you yelled.

"Watch your tone with me, Kira. You'll see." he said before heading to the exit.

You saw the girls with the corner of your eyes. They were speechless. You made an annoyed face, grabbed your changing clothes and headed to the exit too. When you closed the doors behind you, you turn and see that Kat was waiting for you. You smiled at him and asked:

"Where is my white shirt stained with your coffee? " in a sweet tone.

"At my house." he responded smirking

"Oh then you can bring it tomorrow" you said continuing with the joke.

"Or you can come take it yourself"
