Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hitomi suddenly got nervous again as the coach called her onto the court. Maybe I shouldnt have spoken up! She didnt want him to think she was cocky. But now it was too late. Nodding to Roy, she jogged over and scooped up the ball. Dribbling it back, she positioned herself in front of him on the court. Giving him a simple nod, she checked him the ball and quickly got into a defensive stance. As he drove towards the basket, it was almost too quick for her to react. However, she quickly regained herself and recovered, able to get in front of him and block his drive. Jumping up, she tried to block the shot but it was useless. Hitomi couldnt jump nearly as high as he could and he got the point in. However, once the ball was back up top, her speed allowed her to swat the ball out of his hand and sprint to it before it went out of bounds. While Roy was already waiting for her, she went for it anyway. Driving forward, she took a fake forward before taking the step back again, jumping up and shooting as her body faded away from the basket, the shot circling the rim before finally dropping out as she sighed to find he already had it back in his possession.

Hitomi followed him back to the three so as to continue defending. However, Hitomi didnt stand a chance when Roy began using fake spins and running circles. As he bounced the ball through her legs, Hitomi found herself on her butt on the court. Quickly jumping back up, she grimaced as she watched the ball arch into the net. As the ball bounced, she knew the coach would call the game soon. However, until his whistle blew, she wasnt going to stop. Getting the ball passed back to her, she checked it once more to Roy, taking up her defensive stance, determined to block his shot this time and to not miss her shot. She looked up and could see he was sweating. At least she wasnt the only one. He had looked unscathed after the first game, so at least it appeared as if he had to actually try to beat her.

Hitomi sighed as the whistle was blown, part out of relief and part out of disappointment. She wanted to beat him, but she knew she would only further embarrass herself and lose. She smiled a bit at the compliment, glad that he noticed. She then smiled widely as he welcomed her to the team. "Oh thank you!" She finally got what she came here for. She was on the team. However, her face dropped as the coach ordered everyone to the shower. She knew the moment she took off her shirt, her wrap would be discovered. However, that wouldnt be nearly as revealing as when she would have to take her shorts off. Hitomi stuttered nervously. "I, uhh... I will just go shower back at the dorms." She watched as all the guys disappeared into the locker room, knowing also if she had to go in there that she would end up seeing them naked. "I plan on, uhh, working out a bit more, anyway. So it does me no good to shower now, right?" She asked nervously as she turned to leave the gym.
