The last thing Anita Jones was expecting when she went to her local community center to practice some volleyball was to be recruited by her school's rival volleyball team. No, not the girl's team but the boy's team. When she manages to impress the t...

"When we get into the gym get started with your warm-ups, the game will be starting at one-thirty," coach tells us as we get off the bus. We already changed into our uniforms back at school so we can get straight to work once we're inside. We walk to the front of the school and there are a few faces that recognize Anita when they see her, rumors probably started the day she left this shit hole when we came to get her.
"Someone is popular," I hear Connor say from behind me with Anita telling him to shut up. We walk into the school and Anita steps up beside me leading us to the gym. There's a good sizeable crowd sitting at the bleachers watching the twelve of us while the volleyball team is looking at us with a mixture of glares and cocky smirks.
"Alright drop off your bags everyone and get to stretching. Once they've finished their warm-ups at the net we'll do ours," I tell everyone once we reach our bench. I place my bag next to Eric's and take out my knee pads before pulling them on. The team looks ready for the game and all of us unanimously agree that we want to kick their asses for what they did to Anita.
"We're doing a spiking drill," coach calls out to us. He passes me a ball before passing the other to Chris while everyone else splits into two groups. I give mine to Jason before moving up to the net before tossing me the ball doing a good run up for the spike as I set it to him high in the air. The ball goes right to his hand, the highest point of the jump and I watch as he slams it into the ground.
"That was good," I tell him as he moves to the back of the line, a fist up in the air for victory. I continue doing the same for Sean, Connor, and Daniel before finally reaching Anita. She quickly ties her hair back, a determined look in her eyes as they meet mine. I smirk as she tosses me the ball, runs up for the spike and I change the tempo for the spike.
Compared to the rest I've kept the ball at a normal speed but for Anita I make hers a little faster. I watch her jump, knees bent, hand outstretched as she slams the ball down and if this was a game, this would have been right in front of the spikers. I take a quick glance at Eric and his team, my smirk widening as some of them look at her stunned while a few look like they're gritting their teeth in frustration.
"Why the faster speed when you were setting it?" Anita asks as she comes up to me.
"I wanted us to get the upper hand before we start, give them something to be scared of," I say to her as she inspects my face for a moment before walking off, satisfied with my answer. Another five minutes passes with us doing the drills before the referee blows his whistle telling us to get off the court since the game will be starting soon.
"So you guys decided to keep her then?" Eric asks in a haughty tone as he comes over to where I'm standing with some followers behind him.
"She's not some fucking pet," I answer as I glare at him.
