Chapter 5

"Come on Ash! regular people do regular things. Your not regular are you?" The coach yelled to his player as Ash ran down the court and completed a right hand layup.

"No Sir!" Ash replied as he ran down the court again to the opposite goal to complete a left handed layup.

Ash was breathing heavily they had been in the gym since 7 am.

It was now 8:10, class started at 9.

Gary yawned as he opened the gym door and walked inside not surprised to see Ash and the coach working. Even though the season was over, it was no secret that Ash was going to be working as if they had a game tomorrow.

"Stop!" The coach shouted as he passed Ash a second basketball. "Lemme see you dribble, come on both at the same time." He told Ash.

Ash didn't reply as he immediately began dribbling both balls at the same time, one in his right hand and the other with his left.

"Come on Ash move those feet." The coach commanded as he began to move how he wanted Ash to.

Ash didn't need to be told as he began walking backwards and forward again without stopping his dribble.

"Keep it up! How good do you wanna be Ash, It's all on you. Come on." The coach spoke to encourage his best player.

Gary smiled at the scene. Ash's work ethic really was admirable, even Red the team captain didn't work nearly as hard. The brown haired boy's attention soon drifted to the girl who was sitting on the bleachers watching the scene. He smirked, Why was May here?

"May!" Gary shouted as he walked towards the girl who had turned her attention to him.

"Oh hey Gary." She said as the boy sat down next to her.

"So, why are you here? Sure your boyfriend won't see you?" He questioned the smirk never leaving his face.

May just shrugged. "My bus came ridiculously early today so I figured I'd tell Ash good luck on his final today. I figured he might be in here, but he hasn't stopped once in order for me to speak..It's really amazing.." She replied.

"Are you tired Ash?! You look tired do you wanna rest?!" The coach screamed attracting Gary and May's attention.

Ash didn't reply as he continued dribbling the ball.

"Of course not! Being tired is for those people who don't want to be successful! Ask pro players when do they sleep! Do you know what they'll say." The coach continued.

"What will they say coach?!" Ash shouted back although he was completely focused on his drill.

"They'll say that they don't! You have to want success more than you want sleep!" He replied.

May was completely into Ash's training. "Wow...This is really hardcore, the basketball coach is really tough huh."

Gary shrugged his shoulders. "He's only like that with Ash, because he knows how much potential he has."

"Wow..Ash really does work hard."

Gary looked at May strangely. "Did you doubt it? Ash didn't get as good as he is by blind luck. He's worked for everything."
