Chapter 1: Smoked That Felix Pack

Previously...

Felix: "THAT WAS ALL LUCK!"

You just rolled your eyes as you continued to bounce. You motioned him to bring it on, making him more aggravated. Felix tossed the ball to serve and swung again, harder than before. It was a lot harder than he anticipated as the racket went flying through the air.

THUD

Your vision gets blurry as you fall to the ground. The audience immediately yelled in anger, gasps of shock and noises of concern could be heard from the idols and pros.

Augy: "HOLY SHIT, Y/N! NOT AGAIN!"

Augy rushes to your side while you sit there, hand covering your right eye. You pull it off and see blood on it.

Y/N: "Damn."

Augy: "That's all you have to say? You got hit with a racket, AGAIN!"

You just shake your head, but that makes the pain worse.

Augy: "Fuck, wait one second."

Augy steps down from the stage. You looked at Felix with your one good eye, he seemed completely unconcerned with what he did. Instead, he seemed to be bothering Karina with his flirting. She was silent, her fists clenched.

Announcer: "I guess that's it fo—"

Immediately you cut him off.

Y/N: "No."

The attention was all put on you, even Felix stopped his antics. Augy came back to stage with gauze and some tape.

Y/N: "I'll keep playing."

Announcer: "But, are you sure?"

Augy starts to put the gauze on your wound before wrapping it. You wince a little at the application, but once he finished, you stood up.

Y/N: "Yeah."

Felix: "Oh? So you're not done getting beat on?"

You just chuckled. The anger you were feeling was unimaginable, but you didn't feel like yelling or getting revenge, you just felt calm. With a deep breath, you walk to your backcourt. The crowd erupts in cheers as everyone on the floor starts to applaud.

Unfortunately, he took the first set as he did score despite clocking your shit. But, it was your turn to serve. You start to hop in place and stretch a little.

Felix: "The fuck are you doing?"

You paid him no mind and went still. With only one good eye, you knew your depth perception would be terrible. Luckily, you've been in this spot before so you weren't going in blind. You swung your racket experimentally through the air.

Y/N: "Mkay."

You take the band on your left wrist and put it in the other. You also swapped the racket onto your right hand.

"What's this? The fan seems to be swapping hands? He might have been holding back."

You got ready to serve. Throwing the ball up, you contorted your swing, twisting it mid air.

BANG

Your swing sends the ball flying towards the deep corner of Felix's back court. He follows it and gets ready to hit it back. Suddenly the ball stops on the ground, spinning like a vortex.

Felix: "Huh?"

The ball zoomed towards his face, smacking him across his face. The ball was sent towards the stands as Felix spun around and fell to the ground. Everyone was silent.
