"Good luck!" The chant ripples through the group. Our team splits up, taking their respective positions. My eyes focused on the ball in the hands of our coach, everyone waiting for the right time
With a whistle, the ball is tossed in the air
The centre sprints on his shoe taking a high jump, and with a firm force, he tosses the ball towards the small forward of the team. As soon as he gets the sphere in his hands he spun around taking everyone's position for a second before sprinting towards the basket
The opposing team is already trying to tackle us by blocking our paths. Preventing our teammate from passing the ball. He swiftly moves between them, while I chase from the left side looking for a perfect movement
The sound of our coach yelling, instructing our positions rings in my ear as we all follow him. The sound of my shoes stepping on the court and the heavy taps of the ball echoes through the room
A wave of excitement and surround rushes through me
The players quickly toss the ball from one to another as this keeps repeating between both teams. Both sides snatched the ball to a score but no one succeeded in the first few minutes
One of my teammates passes the ball to me, I dribble the ball through the court moving towards the hoop. The opposing members continue to block my path, but I stay agile on my feet moving smoothly. I glance up to see the hoop is still a bit far, with my calculations there is a low chance of a shot from my position. And I am surrounded by others to make it
Drafting myself left and right, I make a fake shot by dribbling the ball in another direction to distract them. As their eyes go to the left, I step back before the ball is released from my hand. I pull it back and toss the ball to Loren who is the nearest to the hoop
The ball arches towards him, and with a high leap Loren snatches the ball. His feet make a perfect balance when he moves forward and jumps. For a moment, the court goes silent when the ball spins up before going through the hoop
The score flashes 1-0
A roar of cheer escapes through our team for the first point. Loren walks towards me with a satisfied grin, he lifts his hand for a high five which I accept matching his expression. Our other teammates join us appreciating the teamwork
The practice match ends with a tied score. On a positive note, it's a good thing as we were having this match with the internal university team divided
The guys decide to rest on the court before returning home. I make my way towards the stands to my gym bag. My steps halted with confusion as I couldn't spot my water bottle
Where did this go?
Did someone take it? I already told them not to touch my stuff
"Looking for this?" A voice interrupts my thoughts. A hand holding my water bottle extends in front of me, I glance to my side to spot Iris standing there with a small smile. Her nervous body language doesn't go unnoticed by me
