EP 3
Asher was frowning slightly, noticing how Isabella not paying attention to his invitation. He hesitates for a moment before shrugging and heading out the door. *bam* he closed the door with a little bit force
asher
"Fine, be that way." *He leaves, wondering why he even bothered asking her to come watch practice*
At the volleyball court, Asher throws the ball in the air, serving it with more force than usual. He can't shake off the annoyance he felt earlier.
His teammates notice his unusual intensity.
Anthony (teammate + frnd)
Hey, Asher what's with the attitude today?
asher
*realizing his attitude* *Catches the ball with a sharp movement* "Nothing! Just..."
asher
*He pauses, remembering Isabella's casual dismissal from earlier "Some people are just clueless..." *He focuses on the next serve, muttering under his breath* "Shouldn't have even cared if she came or not..."
Anthony (teammate + frnd)
.... she? who?
asher
*Serves another ball with precise aim*
asher
I don't need some random person coming to watch. It's not like I'm doing this for attention
Anthony (teammate + frnd)
dude?
asher
*He realizes he's convincing himself more than his teammate* "Forget it ant *walks away*
Anthony (teammate + frnd)
bro.. it's Anthony not 🐜 🥲
Asher went to his coach & coach was slightly surprised by the sudden interruption from a certain unexpected person
Asher suggested him to level up the difficulty in his drill.. To escape from his thought process which is circling that one person
½ hour later while he was practicing he heard a weird 'cat calling'
asher
*His eyes dart towards the sidelines where the sound seemed to come from*
He was surprised to see Isabella there.. she was hiding beside the door not wanting to disturb the players who are busy with their drills
Isabella
*making come here hand gesture*
His teammates continue playing, oblivious to the exchange. Asher hesitates for a moment.. then with a muttered curse under his breath, he jogs over to the sidelines, away from his teammates' sight.
Isabella
*awkward smile* sorry for intruding your practice but u forgot your music player in the room & I just noticed
she hands over the player
asher
Oh... right *takes the player with a mixture of annoyance and relief* "Thanks... I guess."
asher
*Tries to act indifferent, but can't help adding in a lower voice* You didn't... have to come all this way just to bring it.. it's not like I won't come to class tomorrow right?
Isabella
*sigh* well look I didn't just come to give to u that
Isabella
