For the love of the game, I thought for the hundredth time as I crash on my bed in the dorm room. Sam mimics my movements. "Coach is literally trying to kill us. The extra sessions are keeping us out of all the social events." Sam whines. Mark broke it off with Sam because he left for college already. Sam is ready to explore her options and be my friend again.
"No one here can be this sore. How are we going to make it through the game tomorrow?" I say as there is a knock at our door. Sam looks at me and I her. We both groan a come in.
"Tia and Sam?" came a male voice. We both groan again. "Coach sent me to take you to our ice baths and massage trainer."
Sam and I lift our heads up. "Sam, I think, we are dreaming. This vision is not real."
"Don't wake me then until after the massage. K Tia." Sam groans.
The man chuckles. "Come on girls. Man up or I'll be in trouble. Coaches orders."
We almost weep at the golf cart he's brought to drive us to the trainer. Sam lays her head on my shoulder during the ride. The guy is trying to make small talk, but it hurts to nod.
Two hours later, we are in heaven. "I think this is better than sex," I sigh laying on the massage table.
"I'm packing him in my suitcase." Sam replies and I laugh. Rubbed down and frozen, we feel a little human. We head outside to our escort. There is a group of five guys standing around the golf cart. "So this is the Dream Team." a boy says and they all turn. "Y'all are the talk of the campus."
We smile and go to sit in the golf cart. "Someone younger and hungrier is the quote. I am Tia and this is Sam." I offer to the group.
"Well Tia and Sam, I'm Nick and this is the Varsity line up from Freeman High School." He waves a hand.
"Boys, I hate to cut this short, but coaches orders. They are to go back to the dorm." Our driver turns the key and we start to roll.
"Tia right..and Sam. We look forward to watching you debunk the hype tomorrow," Nick smiles.
"Nick right..Come watch us prove the hype tomorrow," I turn to yell as we pull off. Everyone laughs but Nick, who raises his eyebrows.
Coach gets us up early. We can't even remember falling asleep. "Girls, There is a quick meeting this morning before warm ups." We dress in our uniforms and a warm up jacket. I feel a little better. Coach left us a replenish drink and some vitamins. He takes us over to the offices in another golf cart. I need to get me one of these for the rest of the week.
After a two hour shumz fest, Sam and I go to the cafeteria to eat lunch and sit down with the team. The whole caf is talking about the two on two tournament. The winning team plays ODU's best two. Coach paired us up. Much to the rest of the teams dislike, its me and Sam. No surprise there.
Nick walks up to our table. Now, I have to say, the boy is fine looking. He knows it. Looks full of himself too. A true player. I hate guys like him.
"Tia right?" He says and I nod. "Tia I've been dared something and normally I would turn it down...but I'm trying to make captain next year. Can't get a coward's rep. Think you could help me out."
Yeah, he's full of it. Time to knock him down a level. "Honey, you should not play this game with me. You'd fall in love and I'd walk away." Sam kicks me under the table.
"Mouth on you, alright. Lets see who plays better. Shall we. They dared me to ask you to tonight's social. Do you accept the challenge?" Nick is quick to reply.
