Whereever the Wind Takes Me

Chapter 9

"Okay, our first game is in a week. We were State Champions last year, so I wouldn't expect anything less. Cassie, would you like to say a few words?" Coach asked after warmups.

"Of course I would. Okay, as Coach just said, we were State Champions last year, that means we need to work even harder this year to maintain our reputation. This takes heart, dedication, and perseverance. We have the skills to achieve this dream, but if we don't act like a team, we might as well quit right now." As I was going back to sit down, the freshman looked like they were scared to death, the seniors were patting me on the back, and Katie was shooting glares into my head.

"Very well said Cassie. Very inspirational. Now are we going to be State Champions again this year?!"Coach yelled.

"Yes sir!" we all screamed.

"Well okay then let's start practice. Split up into your groups. I will serve it over to y'all. Remember 3 hits at all times! Unless you want to run suicides."

"Setters and Passers with me. Hitters with Katie! Hussle!" I yelled and looked over and Katie and nodded.

"Okay we are just practicing getting 3 hits on the ball. Passers get the ball to my setter. Setter be ready to eat floor hard if you haft to. Just keep the ball in play. And if any of you drop a ball, I will make you run til you throw-up." I said with a smile. I'm sorry, but I can get very aggressive about this sport. All the newbies looked absolutely terrified. I chuckled. All the returners were used to me being like this so they know what to expect.

"Okay, I want all the returners on the court to show the newbies what we are doing!" we quickly got on the court. Katie was my middle hitter (like always).

The ball was bounced, indicating that the ball was about to be served, and we all got down and ready. The pass went swiftly to me without ease, so I set it up to my outside hitter. She slammed it down. I high-fived her, and on my way back, Katie screamed.

"What the flying f*ck, Cassie? I called my number and even did my f*cking footwork, and you still don't set me up?!" Katie fumed.

"I didn't think you were ready." I said cooly. Not losing my temper. She got closer.

"Don't test me Miller!"

"Or what? your going to tell my secret that Coach already knows about?" I said with a smirk.

She looked like she was about to explode,"Oh I will just go to the principal." she bluffed.

I laughed,"He already knows to, Honey. Well looks like you have no one else to tell." I turned around, heading back to my spot.

"I will tell the whole student body." she grimaced.

"Yeah go ahead and tell the student body about my terrible home life. They will sympathize with me and think you are a jealous b*tch. Which you are so it wouldn't be lying. Go ahead. You will just make it worse for yourself." I said. and I normally don't cuss, but she just made me so mad! +ut I managed to keep my cool.

She looked so defeated. So she decided to punch me. I blocked the punch grabbed her arm and threw her into the net. "That wasn't very smart. Remember I still have that secret hanging over your head, so if I were you I would lay off and don't make me mad anymore." I said as I smiled at her.

"You two in the locker room now!" Coach said.

"What in John's name is going on here?" he asked furious.

"You see, I was asking Cassie nicely why she didn't set me up. And she started threatening me!" she said fake crying. I laughed.

"Yeah you coming up to me cussing me out and throwing punches at me is me threatening you." I said very sarcastic like. Lucky Coach didn't buy her 'crying'.

"Katie stop with the fake water works. I did see you go up to Cassie. So I believe her." Coach said.

"But, Cassie why did you not set her up?" Coach asked.

"Because, from what I saw, she wasn't ready sir."I said.

"What the-"Coach cut her off.

"I will not allow you to cuss my star player out again Mathews. Just get out of my gym." She froze for a second. Shocked. "Now!" Coach screamed with a huff. She ran out crying.

"Im sorry sir, I shouldn't have let my personal life interfere with volleyball like that. I apologize." I said.

"It wasn't your fault Miller.Now let's go back to practice." he said with a smile.

Atleast I can focus now.

Katie's POV

I ran out of the gym, crushed and ready to kill someone. When I got an idea.

I headed to the football field house. I saw Chase in nothing but a towel on. God, he had some awesome abs!! Focus Katie! Worry about his abs later.

"Hey Babe!" I said walking towards him seductively. He turned around and frowned.

"What in the hell are you doing in here?!" he asked heading for a cubicle.

"Coach kicked me out of practice because of your little b*tch of a girlfriend." I snarled.

"Don't call Cassie that! And whatever happened, I bet you started it and she ended it." he said.

"True, I did start it, but she was pushing her luck. I mean she stole you from me." I said basically right on him staring at his beautiful blue eyes.

"Katie, how many times do I haft to tell you. I left you. Cassie didn't steal me away, I chose to leave because you are a selfish, immature b*tch." he said. Ouch that hurt.

"Why are you doing this?" I said practically crying.

"Im not the problem,Katie." he said walking out of the field house. I followed him to his car because he waits for Cassie. I saw Cassie come out of the gym and wave at Chase, so I kissed him with all my might. Chase pushed me back that's when Cassie's foot came in contact with the back of my head. Dang she was fast!

Cassie's POV

I walked out of the gym and saw Katie standing there beside him, so I waved at him. He waved back and the next thing I know Katie kissed him! What the hell?! I start off in a dead sprint. When I came down there Chase pushed her off of him and I kicked her in her head.

I straddled her and punched her in the face so many times I couldn't count. Right when Coach came out and broke us apart. I ran right to Chase hugging him while looking at Katie.

"You stupid little B*tch! How far you kiss MY boyfriend!! What is your problem?" I was furious.

"Its not my fault if your boyfriend wanted some action cuz Lord knows that you wont give it to him." she said with a grin. I turned to Chase.

"She is lying. She came into the locker room while I was in a towel! I changed into some clothes in a cubicle. and I made my way out here, then she kissed me! I swear I would never cheat on you. I love you too much." The crowd 'aww'ed'. I blushed. "I love you too" I looked around at the crowd and exposed her secret. I crouched down next to her.

"You wanna play dirty, I can play dirty too. Katie Mathews has herpes. She got it from having sex with everyone she has her eyes on. A football player told me after he caught it from her after a one night stand with her." everyone gasped, even Coach.

"I didn't want to do that but you left me no choice. You brought this upon yourself. Good day." I stood up and left with Coach and Chase.

"With all do respect Coach Hann, but why are you in my car?" Chase asked.

"Because he is coming with us to my Dads." I said with Coach nodding behind me.

"This is going to be interesting" he murmured. I nodded in agreement.

Let's get this over with.
