[ONGOING]Crimson Heroes (Ikarishipping)

CHAPTER 22

A/N: Hiyaaaaa wonderful person. So a little bit of warning down below (just in case huehue). I've written something mature'ish below and honestly this is the first time I've written something like this so I don't know if it went okay or not. But yeah it is a rape'ish scene, but no worries though because it is very light or at least I made it very light. But still it might get a little uncomfortable, so yeah that is the warning. It's difficult because I need this scene for plot purposes I am sorry huehue but I did try my best to make it as light as possible. THANK YOU!

Chapter 22

"So.." Zoey started, shooting Maylene a warm and welcoming smile. "Why are you interested in joining the basketball women club?".

"Well." Maylene breathed in deeply, straightening the lumps on her school uniform. She was standing in front of Zoey who was sitting in a chair holding Maylene's application letter. "I am interested in basketball. Might just be my favorite ball sport." She sheepishly claimed.

Zoey crossed her legs and looked back at the application letter Maylene handed to her earlier.

It was thirty minutes past five in the afternoon and the school dismissal bell had already rang. Maylene already told Roark that she'd be going home late to pass her application letter to join the basketball women club just as they have already discussed the other night. The orange rays of the sun filtered through the jalousie of the club room, the dry summer air making her sweat more than the usual.

She instantly looked forward going home to take a refreshing shower.

The emptiness of the club room coupled by the murmur of the afternoon breeze made it a hidden oasis within the academy. It seemed like the only place within the school that held such peace and tranquility. Although it hasn't been a month since the school year had started, she almost couldn't believe that such an oasis existed in the academy.

Zoey cleared her throat trying to catch Maylene's wandering attention.

"This looks good." Zoey flashed another bright smile and offered her hand for a shake. "The team welcomes you."

Maylene's expression glowed with the sunset background. She tried her best not to jump from happiness and concealed her excitement.

"Thank you so much!" She grabbed Zoey's hand with both of hers in an intense handshake.

Zoey laughed at Maylene's unexpected reaction. "I'm not so sure if this is something to be this happy about, but I'm glad that it makes you happy."

Realizing that Maylene's been shaking Zoey's hand for too long she dropped it and bowed apologetically. "Sorry! I tend to overdo stuff when I get excited."

Zoey waved her off. "Anyway, practice will be every morning. It is mandatory as a club member. Got it?"

"Yes captain!" Maylene saluted. "And you can call me Maylene."

"Okay." Zoey walked back and grabbed her backpack. "You can call me Zoey too. So I have to go, a friend of mine is waiting for me."

"Oh I see." Maylene started grabbing her shoulder bag as well.

"Here! Heads up!" Maylene looked up and caught a key Zoey threw at her. "That's the club room key, locked the door when you leave will you? Just give the key to our head coach Johnny after. I don't like seeing that guy's face." Zoey walked past her and waved a goodbye before opening the door and leaving her alone in the clubroom.
