Two weeks after New Year's Day

The snow iced the afternoon skies and blanketed the ground, coloring the day with a bleak white glow.  It was definitely different from the regulated warmth we have inside the basketball gym.

Speaking of regulation, everything is all under control around me, except for my thoughts and the rampaging beats of my heart.

My teammates were practicing one-on-one, and I went to the other side of the court to practice my shots. I always pause and think for a couple of seconds whenever my shots went in the hoop.

My teammates paid little to no attention that I excluded myself from them, but in the corner of my eye, I saw Coach Taoka at the side of the gym, probing me with his eyes

I'm afraid to look up because if I do maybe he'll make me want to come over so I could talk to him. Or maybe he'll talk to me.

Geez, Coach Taoka really has a keen eye for everything.

Something was amiss within me, normally I should let things like that go, probably it really was an accident, I know practicing on my own would leave me alone with my thoughts so I can better my skills, and what she had done to me---

"Sendoh."

I bolted up after hearing my name.

It was Coach Taoka, waving his hand, telling me to come over.

Hi, dear reader. It's been a long time since I've talked to you! I'll take over the story for a bit because Coach Taoka is busy talking to Sendoh.

What are they talking about, you say? Sendoh will share it to you later! For now, in behalf of him, I'll tell you what happened on New Year's Eve.
