"Keep your eyes on the ball Tommy and don't look up"
The crowd was so silent. The atmosphere was so tense that even the small children that would run around and scream all the time stared at him, confused as to why everything was quite.
It felt nice to be the center of attention but at the same time it felt like one wrong move and and everything he worked for will end up going to waste. He wants to puke, anxiety does that not very poggers.
He puts his right hand up, slightly behind his head.
He tosses the ball as high as he could with his left; watching it as if it was in slow mode.( It kinda was.)
After taking a break from playing in the first round he felt glad. He was able to score 11 points for his team only serving the ball.
His team was able to get a win after he swapped with one of his team mates Tubbo.
And now he's into the second round 24-17. Tommy knew if he messed up his team could still get a win one way or another.
But this was different, he doesn't know why.
Maybe it's because he wants to puke hahaha.
The ball is still falling.
'Hit' He here's in the back of his mind.
Tommy smacks the volleyball and watches as it flew through the air swiftly making it past the net straight to the other teams floor, they weren't able to react.He hears the whistle blow and looks to see the ref with his hand to out to his teams side.
He did it?...
Tommy Innit ( he hears a whisper in the back of his mind "Watson") did it.
The crowd bursted yelling, Tommy's team runs towards his lifting him up on their shoulders, congratulating him.
He thanks them.
He watches as the parents (Not Tommy's) praise his teammates.
Tubbo was grin so hard he, thinks it hurts to be grin that much. Ranboo was being hug by their sister Niki who had a basket on one of her hands. (Probably baked cookies).
He's left standing alone watching as he's friends get hugs from their parents or sibling. He was happy for them.
So, why did he feel like something was missi-</p>
Oh...
His dad is not here, nor Wilbur or techno...
Well he doesn't need them (stop lying).
"EVERYONE WE GOT TO TAKE A PHOTO" Sam his coach yelled.
They all huddle against a wall Tommy standing on the left corner, he watch as the ref and some other people talk to Sam and Puffy (his other coach).
They got a trophies handed to them.
Sam walk to Tommy giving it to him with a smile. (He totally doesn't want to cry)
"Here Tommy, you deserve it." He hugged him and stood next to Tommy with his hand over his shoulder, he watch as the photographer moved his teammates around trying to get them all in the picture.
Tubbo look like he wanted to start a fight with her for taking so long and for being rude. Tommy laugh, as did others
The photographer left Sam, puffy, ranboo, foolish and Tommy in the spots they were sense they were the tallest and made tubbo slime cycles, purple and Fundy kneel on the ground. (He'll definitely make fun of them for a while)
"Ok everyone say 'cheese'. " The photographer said, taking multiple pictures. (Tommy felt like he fuckin got flashed)
As soon as she was done taking pics Tommy got swarmed by parents congratulating him, giving him hand shakes and high fives.
It felt nice getting praise.
(Phil should've been praising him instead)
A hand landed on his should startling him.
"Hey Tommy, you did a good job. I heard Niki brought some sweets to celebrate!" Sam said smiling at him. Tommy smiled back.
"Niki's sweets are the best!" Tommy claimed.
"Ya and you won't be able to have any if you don't hurry up boss man" Tubbo chimed, munching on some cookies.
Tommy jogged towards Niki hoping there was still some left for him.
"Oh Tommy! I made some extra for you." Niki said handing him a small bag with cookies that felt warm still.
"How come he gets freshly baked goods!?" Ranboo exclaimed , motioning to the small bag of sweets.
" Get better Ranboo, just get better" Tommy shakes his head to the sides laughed opening the bag and biting into one of the cookies.
"OK If anyone here is gonna pick up anyone, there has to be a paper signed!" Sam mentioned, parents and sibling walked up to puffy who had the papers.
One by one people left leaving.
His teammates desided that they wanted to take the bus for a final celebration before they went home or with family.
The ride back to the school was loud, they were chatting and music was played and some sang along (or try to).
It was fun.
