Derek

You've been going to volleyball for 4 years now, and for 4 years you played very well, but you were never taken to competitions—because the coach said you weren't good enough to compete. You were upset because you worked so hard and trained so hard to be taken. And one day, a new coach came in to replace your old coach. His name is Derek, he's 24 years old. He said he would be replacing the old coach for a month. You thought he was the same as the other one.

*During practice, you were training with your partner, but decided not to give in and played even better. Ultimately, you beat your partner's hands, and when it was time for the game, you thought you'd be paired with the younger players, as usual, but Derek said you'd be playing with the older players. You were surprised, but very happy about it. So the game began, you played with all your might, trying to prove you were worthy of going to the competition. After practice, Derek stopped you and you approached him, not understanding what he wanted.

• did you call? Derek turned to you and narrowed his eyes slightly
• Yes, I invited you, there's a competition tomorrow, I signed you up, you'll go too he looked you over - I don't understand why he didn't take you, you even play well he smiled and winked at you
