"Lord have mercy on us" Scott limped into my office followed by Benny and Tom. It was 6 pm and I managed to stay in and finish off creating the team's fitness plans for the next week.

I was still pissed about earlier, so I didn't even bother lifting my head to look at them. Scott did get a kick out of being dramatic.

They all made themselves comfortable in my office. I've noticed that they aren't too bothered about that gap between the team and their coach. I'm not someone to tell them to have respect for me, they should already have that.

When my initial frustration seemed to wither away. I looked up at the boys. Even though Scott can be a royal pain in the ass I respect him and don't want him to feel like he isn't being heard.

My eyes moved to the ice pack resting on his thigh. I watched his face contort as he groaned from the impact of sitting in one of the chairs. Ben and Thomas were sitting back their eyes closed.

"Boys!, please tell me you didn't just get back from your gym session?" I knew their schedule well enough. I should do since I make up their schedules. We have training, I manage how much time they spend at the gym.

I even have a set of hours which they use to rest and relax.

Scott opened his eyes "don't blow up coach but yeah we kind of did" I stood up at knelt down in front of him. I assessed his leg seeing it red and dark. He was lucky we didn't have another competition until a few weeks' time.

"did you pull it or is just painful," I asked him, he winced when I applied some pressure onto his muscle.

"I'm not sure, Michelle pushed us hard today so I'm guessing it's just hurting I don't think I could walk if I pulled it" even though he was explaining all this to me. one name truly repeated in my head.

Has she stooped so low to jeopardise the success of the team just because of her obsession with theo.

"coach coach dont" Scott tried his best to get up to stop me, but he wasn't the only one who had fast reflexes. I dodged him and barged through the office doors and heading straight to that gym.

Seeing Theo in the gym didn't even phase me. I walked right past him and headed to her office with only one mission.

Luck seemed to be on my side as Ryan sat on the other side of the desk as Michelle and him spoke about something.

"want to explain to me why Scott is nursing his thigh with an ice pack," I said leaning on her desk staring at her.

Her eyes showed that there was a hint of fear. She knew what she did, and she knew that what she did was wrong.

"Look I didn't mean to push him too hard, its not serious he will be fine with a few days rest" yes, like that was going to make it any better.

I groaned in annoyance "you knew exactly what you were doing. I don't want you training Scott anymore, David is more than capable, and I can't have you ruining scott's chances" I could see that she was about to object.

"I'm their coach and I say what goes" I demanded not wavering one little bit. Ryan who hadn't said anything yet looked over at me.

He silently nodded agreeing with my decision and had no complaints. Lord knows I would blow up if he did.

"if any of the students complain about anything from your sessions with them I won't hesitate to put in a complaint. You might be happy with damaging their chances but I sure as hell am not" when it comes to the team I take it very seriously.
