'Damn it. This old fox. He isn't even looking away for a second.'
''Eh? Wanna cheat? How bad? After years of experience, I know quite a 'few' about you and your brain. Especially when that little thing is up to no good.'' Coach Taylor said as he poked Ivy's head with his index finger.
The two were standing face to face at the moment, one panting, while the other cool.
''Coach... My dearest Coach. The almighty coach Taylor, can you please let me off? I really can't do it.'' Ivy really wasn't acting this time. After slacking off for more than a year, she really had her stamina decreased .
At that time, when she decided to leave everything behind, her life had turned dull and boring. She became a typical house worm who wouldn't even leave her room for a minute other than to wash and eat.
At that time, what she felt was just emptiness. Her entire being felt void. Ivy's dreams were locked in a box and thrown in the store personally by her. She had thought that she would never return. She became robotic with just one thought, study. Even if she can't do it, she has to do it. There was nothing in her life other than food and study materials. No more liveliness. No more laughter. No more directions. No more dreams.
She had locked her soul in that box.
She stopped doing everything that was related to what she did for her dreams previously. She forced herself to change right from the way she looked to the way she dressed. She even requested her school to be changed. She requested to go as far from home as possible.
If Chummy and Gummy hadn't entered her life, she wouldn't have even gone for evening, or more like night walks.
But now that she was supposed to run a hundred laps but was exhausted after seventy-five, she regretted not exercising even a little. Otherwise, with her stamina, how could she be so exhausted after seventy-five laps, that too around the basketball court.
Damn it, this old fox wasn't going to let go of her any time soon.
''You can't do it? Did you slack off all your time after you left? Is that what it is?'' Seeing Ivy lower her head little by little as he asked questions, Coach Taylor really felt like he was going to burst in anger if he don't let it out.
Only this brat had this kind of ability to affect his emotions so badly.
He really did miss this feeling.
