W-Wait...
The ball smashed into the ground, causing me to gasp. Far from the ball, our blockers slowly started to sink, anger registering onto their faces.
Why did they jump there? Did they forget the signals?
I stood frozen in my receiving position, as I uselessly watched the ball bounce away.
How could both of them forget the signals?!
My heart pounded hard in confusion. Than... it stopped.

Did I signal wrong?

The guilt hit me like a truck. All I could see were disappointed glares searing into my skin. I shamefully looked down at my shoes as a drop of cold sweat spilled onto the floor.
A whistle blew, the shrill sound echoing through the air. I harshly bit my hand to muffle a sob.
We lost...
My teammates shoved past me, not saying a word.
I lost.
