jessica's pov

today is the day of volleyball tryouts and i've been practicing with bella for the past few days, with brandon there too.

i got dressed for school (media), then putting my hair in a high pony while grabbing my nike duffle bag and backpack. i made myself ramen for lunch and some extra snacks incase i get hungry from volleyball practice. i walked with brandon only today since my sister thinks she has a fever so she isn't gonna make it to school or tryouts. "you pumped?" brandon asked, nudging me. "for sure" i said with confidence. "i'm gonna beat bianca and her so-called minions" i said with a little laugh. "i know you will" he said with a smile. 'gosh that smiles kills me every time' i thought to myself. "oh why thank you ma'am" he said. "i said that out loud?" i said, starting to blush. "yeah" he said while a chuckle.

the bell rung, telling the teacher that sixth period end and i rushed out the classroom door and went to my locker and grabbed my duffle bag and went to the girls locker room to change (outfit below).

i then head to the gym with audrey since she's trying out too. we got greeted by other girls that were trying out and the coach. we set our stuff against the bleachers of the gym. we got around the coach as he took role. "hello girls. i am coach camson and welcome to the girls volleyball tryouts. there will be 2 weeks of tryouts and the official posting of the team of 12 players will be on the monday after the last week of tryouts" he explained. "if you don't make the team, you can apply to be a manager of the team by writing a letter to me of why you should. since the net have already been hung up, let's do some warm ups" he said as we all get in a circle and did some stretches. there were a total of 35 girls who tried out, including me. after stretching and running two laps around the gym, we got into pairs and started some underhand passing and setting warm ups. me and a girl named heather were taking a break after passing for five to six minutes. i look over to bianca and another girl and trust me, bianca was STRUGGLING i tell you, and it was funny, really funny. after some more minutes of underhand passing and setting, coach wanted us to do some scrimmages, which is a mini game, and it goes to 15 points (a/n: or 5 haha). we got split into different teams.

for round one⬇️
first team:
jessica
audrey
iliana
daniela
gigi
sammy

second team:
haylee
bianca
pasley
riley
jessie
fiona

coach then placed me in the front row in the middle because i was stronger as a setter. the coach gave the ball to bianca to serve. 'bad idea my guy' i thought to myself. she served with her fist, with was a underhand serve and it went over, surprising. daniela then passed it underhand to me and i set it upward and iliana spiked it over the net. fiona dived for the ball and it went upward and bianca and jessie were trying to get the ball at the same time but they bumped into each other and the ball fell on the their side. 1 point for us.

skip to the end of the scrimmages

after the scrimmage ended, my team won by 3 points. we continued doing more scrimmages until it was time to go. all the girls gathered into a circle and put their hands in. coach wanted me to do the yell. "knights on three, 1, 2, 3 ..." "KNIGHTS!" we yelled and me and audrey gathered our stuff and walked to my house. i got a text from brandon while walking.

i look at brandon's texts and i smile like an idiot. i have only know him for a while but i think i'm falling for him. but i doubt he feels the same.

brandon's pov (didn't see that coming huh)

i was sitting alone in my room doing my english homework and saw it was 4pm and decided to check on jess on her day. me and jess have been getting really close lately and we've only known each other for 2-3 weeks now. but bianca has been trying to get with me and it's making me uncomfortable. she has been giving me these weird looks and it's creepy. but anyway, jess is smart, athletic, pretty, funny and many other things. i think i'm falling for her, but i doubt she feels the same.
