Obstacles [on hold]

Can't

"Hey Cap!" Henry calls out to Tanner once he spots him. Tanner and I were waiting for his team at the school carpark before his match with Ian's team. All the guys from the team continued to come and greet their former Captain, fistsbumps and bro hugs everywhere.

"Well, if it isn't my girl Kathy!" Marcus exclaims while walking over to give me a bear hug. All the members of the team were like close brothers to me. I often went to their matches to support them and somehow always manage to become their assistant, helping them carry their equipment, towels, water bottles... You get what I mean. But I don't mind.

"Hey," I said while laughing and hugging him back. Soon enough, the rest of the guys from the team came to greet me too.

"Alright guys, remember our drill and strategies. Thanks for coming, my treat tonight!" The guys cheered as he said that. "LET'S WIN THIS!" And the whole team roared with excitement, including me.

---------------------

"Kath! My shoulder pads!" Tanner shouted from across the room.

"Got it!" I shouted back as I rushed to get his shoulder pads from his huge duffel bag which contained all his equipment.

After passing it to him, it was Cory's turn. "Kathy! Can I get some water please!"

"Coming!" It was frantic in the holding room as they all put on their protective equipments and jerseys, getting ready for a brief warm up before the actual match.

After passing Cory his cup of water, I accidentally walked into someone, making me nearly fall backwards but luckily he caught me.

"Oops sorry, I didn't see you there." Marcus apologized as he steadied me. "Hey, you look even more beautiful up close."

"Thanks," I said shyly as I blushed a little, making him laugh.

"Marc, back off and go get ready." Tanner said in an annoyed tone while he pulled Marcus away from me.

"Sure thing Captain," Marcus salutes and winks at me before continuing to get ready.

"Be careful okay? I don't want you getting hurt in this mess." Tanner says as he looks at me.

"Did I ever? I will Tann." I replied, helping him to wear his shoulder pads and jersey.

"Alright guys! Be ready in fifteen minutes for warm ups!" I reminded the team after checking the time. Cheers were heard and some people clapped, already ready to get out on the field.

"Yes Captain!" Tanner said as he placed an arm around my shoulder and ruffled my hair.

---------------------

"Alright guys! It's almost time! Gather around!" Tanner shouted, gathering his whole team. All of them gathered in a circle and he motioned for me to go too.

Everyone placed their arms around each other's shoulders as Tanner started talking again.

"I'm so thankful that all of you could make it today. This is probably our last match together as a team," grunts were heard from some members "so let's make this the best one yet!" He continued, shouting the last part and cheers erupted once again. They did a few chants before breaking the circle and moving to field.
