aces baby - a.i

ch.1--dibs

"SIDE OUT RIGHT HERE. COME ON RIGHT NOW LETS GO!" I yell to my side of the court. Our back row gets low and focuses on the serve.

I get the pass up and our setter calls for a quick. Our middle follows the pass and slams the small set down on their side of the court, the other team fazed bye the well executed play. One girl rolls in an attempt to get the ball up, yet fails. We run to the middle screaming and hugging, but the games not done yet. Game point.

I'm now front row. I'm a rather tall girl I suppose, so it actually does make sense that I'm our outside hitter.

Our next server hits the ball and it lands perfectly on their side of the net.

Ace.

We cheer and scream and before we know it we are tackling each other on the ground.

We get up, still laughing and walk to our locker room.

"You know, Dev, because of that game we qualify for a much larger tourney next month. And if we place well in that one, we go to an international tournament. Wouldn't that be something?" Hailey asks me. I smile at the enthusiasm she holds.

"It would definitely be something." I respond. Hope in my voice as well.

"And I know we can do it." I add.

ASHTONS POINT OF VIEW :)

"Come on! You're making this easy on me!" Michael taunted Calum and Luke playing on the Xbox.

I let out a low chuckle before unlocking my phone and scrolling through twitter. I don't really want to do anything tonight. Lazy nights are the best.

"What have we to do tonight?" I ask to no one in particular.

"We've got to check out a new venue for an upcoming show. It's down town I think." Alright. Tonight wouldn't be all that bad.

I sigh and throw my head back against the pillow, before unlocking my phone again.

DEVYN'S (DEV'S) POV

I quickly shower and let my hair dry naturally before putting in a bun with a thick white headband. I throw on an old oversized volleyball shirt, some black sweats, put on some black Nike elites and wear my nike sandals as well.

"Hailey come on! We can't be here all night, now can we?" I remark sarcastically, looking for my best friend, and ride home.

I hear her exaggerate a sigh, and she comes out in the almost exact same outfit. "You know we actually can't stay. We'd get in trouble. I hear some band is checking out this place to play a concert." A concert? But this place was huge.

"Maybe it's one direction?" I offer. Knowing Hailey and her strong dislike for pop boy bands like them, she would probably do something outrageous and crazy, much like her personality. And she did. And I was reminded the whole way home, as she scolded me. I laughed at her. We finally arrived at our home and I opened my car door.

As I throw all my bags to the ground, I check my pockets for my phone. Shoot. Where did I leave it?

ASHTON'S POV

"Come on boys we're going to be late!" I hear Calum call from further ahead. We were already at the building and it was huge. Huge.

"Do you really think we could fill this entire space up?" I ask Michael. He looks around and shrugs.

"I suppose. I didn't really think we were that popular honestly." He admits. I nod.
