Chapter 2 - Academy Belle

As they looked down into the fields he looked over to the field on his left he saw a group of teens in the field.

"What are they doing down there?" he asked as he pointed to the field full of teens.

"They're warming up usually a lot of underclassmen go for unofficial practices to try and steal a spot from someone either on varsity or JV. The current field they're on is field B while field A is on our right," she replied trying to keep her blushed face hidden.

"Though for tryouts you guys are meeting on the track," she said as she started moving towards the track located on the trackside of the school which isn't far from the baseball area.

"Why are tryouts there?" he asked as he started walking with her side by side.

"You'll have to wait and see, hehe," she replied with a slight melodious laugh.

Once they entered the track area it wasn't as nice as the baseball area but it wasn't terrible either. They walked down the stairs going straight until they reached the track where he saw 200 other kids trying out for the baseball team warming up.

"There are so many people trying out," he said as even though he was slightly surprised by the number of people.

"Well we are the 2nd ranked school for sports so it's reasonable that we have this many people trying out for the team and our experience, and wins at the High School World Series both baseball and softball level," she said with a hint of pride in her voice with a smile that makes you want to kiss her.

"I never asked but what position do you play?" she asked with curiosity wondering what someone as tall and beautiful as him, plays.

"I play pitcher and shortstop" he responded with a slight warmth in his voice that almost made her legs turn into jelly.

"We have quite a lot of pitchers this time. Are you any good?" she replied, trying to calm herself down, as he took some time to think about the question.

"Yeah, that's what my sister says," he said with his voice that was smooth and full of resolution.

"What middle school did you play for?" she asked, thinking it was some school she didn't hear about because if it was every girl would know about him.

"I didn't play in middle school," he responded with a thin piece of sadness in his voice that would make people want to comfort him.

"So you know how to play but didn't play for middle school, and you want to try out for this academy?" she asked innocently with no rudeness or disdain in her tone.

"Yeah my sister goes to Starlight Academy which is obviously a rank above this school, and she said I should try out," he replied as his stunning purple eyes had a slight coldness and fire in them.

"Well there's a lot of competition so don't be afraid," she said but as she looked at him he seemed calm as an ocean. 'I could probably look at him all day, and his personality is like a cold god looking down at people from his throne but is full of warmth and friendliness when he's comfortable with you.' she thought as she continued to look at his perfect face.

"Don't worry about me I'll be fine," he said with a smile he could feel her worries for him as she blushed quite hard when she saw his smile and cutely turned away from him.

"Well, then I'll let you get ready. I'll be watching today so don't let me down," she replied with a smile as they both entered the track everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at them with envy, sadness, and a hint of anger.

"Look, it's the ice queen, and she's with someone." one voice resounded out with pure envy in his voice.

"Damn look how handsome that fucking guy is, and he's a damn freshman walking with the academy's belle." another voice resounded out with slight resentment.

"I heard she never talks to anyone besides her small group of friends, and every guy that tries to talk to her she ignores them like their air." a third voice was heard within the group as if someone stabbed him in the chest.

As everyone started talking about the special duo that just walked in with a range of different emotions.

'Wow, so I guess she's pretty famous in the school, and from what I'm hearing she never talks to anyone and she's cold to everyone. So why did she talk to me, and even give me a tour.' Rei thought as he saw her walk away ignoring all the chatter about her or them like she was walking in an empty field. He didn't mind either though as he thought all the commotion was just stupid chatter as he started getting ready.

Once he was ready, he was wearing white baseball pants that left little to the imagination for women when they looked at them. The pants hugged his slim waist, accentuating the curves of his body and hinting at the toned muscles beneath. His black tank top fit tight around his body like a second skin, showing off the definition and volume of his body. His chest was muscular and toned, while his shoulders were broad, and his waist was slim and trim. He had an aesthetic body physique that every guy wanted and every woman desired.

The sight of him was enough to draw attention from everyone around him.

His devilishly handsome looks were enough to make any woman weak in the knees, and his body was better than anything they had ever seen. His presence was enough to turn envy into resentment and anger as he started warming up, from the men.

He moved with a grace and confidence that was unmatched, and his every movement was a reminder of the agility and strength that he had.

He was a sight to behold, and his presence was enough to make any woman's heart flutter. His body was a work of art, and his every movement was a reminder of the beauty and power that he possessed.

He was the embodiment of lust itself.

After a few minutes, everyone heard a booming voice that resounded throughout 200 people with no microphone, just a pure tone that didn't even sound strained.

"Alright everyone let's get started. I am the administrator for the tryouts along with the freshmen head coach Cole Miller, and behind me are the rest of the coaches. one of them is my assistant coach, and the one next to him is the freshman pitching coach, and last but not least is the JV head coach and pitching coach for JV, Oliver Smith." Coach Miller's voice resounded through everyone's ears as he pointed to each coach introducing them.

While he saw the coaches he saw a person behind them once he saw who it was he threw her a smile as he thought 'So she's pretty important besides being the campus belle to be able to stand behind the coaches.'

As for her, once she saw him and saw that he smiled at her she blushed and turned her head away with a slight smile.

'She's really adorable isn't she.' Rei thought when he saw her turn her head away from him.

As coach Miller's voice broke him from his thoughts.

"Today we will hold three tests so you can join the baseball team here at Sun Academy but only 5 of you will be able to join the team." Coach Miller's voice boomed as everyone became silent to the point where if someone dropped a pen they would be able to hear it, everyone looked at each other as the tension in the air grew thicker and thicker every passing second.

"The first test which is why we are here on the track field is everyone has to run until we say so when I blow my whistle indicating it's over." Coach Miller said as he raised the whistle in his hand for everyone to see.

"If the person in 1st place passes you; you are disqualified and you have to leave the field. So I suggest if you are in that position to run like a wolf is behind you or if someone stole your girl or guy whatever way you get your dumb teenage hormones worked up and run as fast as you can." Coach Miller said with a devilish smile that gave most of the students here chills.

"Okay everyone, line up!" the assistant coach yelled as everyone rushed to line up once everyone was lined up it looked like a can of sardines. Once everyone was ready everything became quite like a war was about to break out.

'Okay so I'm in the back, and let's just try and pass without doing anything extraordinary. I don't need to drag much attention towards myself.' he thought to himself once he lined up in the last row as he was waiting for the go-ahead.

"Ready 3, 2, 1... GO!!!" Coach Miller's voice resounded with a hint of excitement as everyone shot forward as the tryouts officially began.
