"C-Cameron!!?" Cameron smiles. He stands about average height wearing a beanie. Lucas speed walks over as Cameron sits down on the bench against the wall.
"What are you doing here Cameron?... Your Mom finally let you out of the house?" Cameron nods and leans against the wall.
"yeah, but not for the reason you might think… The doctors believe I have some serious disorder, so I won't be at school for the next while until they know what's causing my symptoms…" Lucas sits beside Cameron.
"I'm just glad I could see you again… so what did you come for?" Cameron turns to look at Kurai. Glancing up and down at him.
"Is he your current setter?" Kurai walks over nodding.
"Yes… Yes I am, and I'm guessing you're the teams original setter?" Cameron nods slowly.
"But, i'm just here to let you know Lucas that I'm done with Volleyball… Whatever this sickness i'm dealing with is… has been stopping me from even practicing in my backyard… i've been stuck in the house almost all day for the last month…" Lucas exhales.
"As sad as it is, there isn't anything I can do about it… so what did you need?" Cameron uses the bench and Lucas' shoulder to push himself standing. Looking up at the Giant Kurai.
"I wanted to bestow my official blessing on Kurai here… I've heard a lot about you…" Kurai looks down surprised people have been talking about him at all.
"Powerful sets, serves, towering height for blocking… you've got it all…" Kurai looks around.
"I was actually teaching Lucas how to jump serve when you walked in…" Cameron smiles and fist bumps Kurai's chest as it's the highest he could reach.
"I may not play anymore, but I know on the court this team is a handful, but handle them with care… okay?" Kurai nods as Lucas also stands.
"can I come visit you later today?" Cameron smiles brightly. Kurai noticing a hint of sadness.
"sure, talk to you all later" Cameron waves as he walks out of the gym. Lucas smiling with determination.
"Mind continuing practice with me Kurai?" Kurai smirks and nods.
"sure"
Lucas tosses the ball high and bolts forward. Jumping high and hitting the ball, but sending it too far and out of bounds.
"So close!" Kurai walks over and picks up the ball.
"You're putting too much strength behind it, try and cool it down" Lucas nods as Kurai tosses him the ball. Lucas tosses high again and runs up. Swinging his arm back to serve as the door opens. Lucas falling to the ground and getting hit on the head with the ball. Chloe walking in with a box.
"The box is here…" Erik walking in beside her.
"The uniforms are in!" Erik opens the box on the bench as Ross walks over.
"The same numbers you were in the practice match against MCHS is your official jersey number… try them on, we can take the team picture for the tournament…" Ajax grabs out his uniform.
"Wow, this is really cool… I love the colors" The jersey had a blue stripe from the right shoulder to under the left armpit. The left shoulder was dark gray and the rest was white. A Blue Jersey number in the Middle. LWT numbered at the top, they're numbers along with they're last names on the back. Kurai grabbing out his jersey. Lifting up his shirt. Richmond glancing over and noticing a massive burn scar down his back, His right arm, and left leg.
"What's with all those scars?" Kurai puts on his jersey and looks epic. Stretching his arm.
"My scars are unimportant" Coach Russ rubs his chin. 'A scar down his back, right arm, and left leg… Never paid much attention to them… maybe something gave him those scars which would explain his arthritis in his knee.' Xavier looks at Kaneko's jersey.
"This thing is massive, what size are you!?... XXL!?" Kaneko stands beside him shirtless. His stomach and chest surgery scars on full show.
"Hey! Give that back man!" Kaneko jumps at Xavier but he runs away with it. Ajax's jersey was opposite with the left shoulder being white and the rest was dark grey. Glaring down at Xavier who gives the jersey to Ajax.
"Ugh fine…" Ajax takes the jersey and goes to hand it to Kaneko but then bolts off with it. Kaneko seemingly deflating.
"Oh come on man…" Russ blows a whistle grabbing their attention.
"Okay, stop messing around and gather around me for our first matchup of the Winter season…" Everyone gathers as Kaneko rushes to put on his jersey.
"Okay, so I'll explain the tournament to the new comers… AKA the freshman… We are about to enter the FQL or the Fall Qualifing league… Where 5 high school teams and 3 specially selected teams.. We are one of those three… we will compete against them, and if we win, we go to the second round of Qualifiers, each of the 25 victors from the 25 districts will compete to represent Kentucky in the High school Winter tournament… got that? Be on your guard, we will have a lot of difficult matches so watch your hygiene and mentality… We can do this LakeWood Tech" Everyone shouts in agreement.
"And we're lucky that we aren't going up against MCHS first, we're going up against Lewis county… Which is also new to the Boys Volleyball scene just like us… you all can head to class now, the bells about to ring…" Everyone rushes and takes the group photo. Taking off the jersey's and rushing to class as the bell rings.
