It's real, this is for real. Inhale the intense air inside the dug out as watched my teammates pacing back and fourth. Yes this is the time. The butterflies exploded inside my stomach while the hot and cold feeling get under my skin. I opened and closed my fist and dug my nail on my palm. I want to feel something, like pain to pulled me out of my trance. I slouched my body on the floor and closed my eyes. This is for real. A smile crept on my face. We've been waiting for this, We've been working hard for this. Reaching the finals that we've dream of. Pressure is there but I am more excited to play. We prepare for this. I know we will win.
'' Girls! This is it!! '' Brea squeal in excitement. She's our Team captain and one of my closets friend. We looked at her expectedly. She's pretty well in our uniform. A blonde chestnut hair and blue eyes. I feel the intensity coming from Brea. A determination overflow from us. " This our chance to steal the Championship. " she added
I really admire her, She's been the Heart and Soul of our Team. Her voice send us good moral support. She's the kind of Leader that would been admire from other teams. She's an intense player. You know. A player who is fun to watch? She's the one who trash talking with other team. Okay don't judge. That's part of the game.
We gathered in the middle of the dugout and hold each others hand to show support, and began pray. Hopefully No Injuries.
'' No matter what happen girls, I'm still proud of you! '' Our Setter jinje said, teary eyed. Wow. She's about to freak out. Yeah me too but i behold the nervousess down my spine. This is our time to shine.
"' Let's go Air Spikers! '' We said in unison.

Wow this is it. I feel numb actually. My palms are sweating. My head was about to explode any moment. But in the other hand im very excited i've been waiting for this for about 4 years since i joined this team.
As we run to the Lobby. Yeah we need to run a little bit to make our body in condition before step in inside the court.
i heard the loud screams and shouts from the crowds. Im so overwhelm. And this gonna be a Historic Match as we fight against a very dominant team.
And our coach and staffs signaled us to enter the court. So we jugged inside. I closed my eyes for a second. The pressure is now on my nerves in every muscle of my body. My teammate was expecting so much from me. I dont want them to dissapoint. So i will do my best.
Oh god! Blessed us all!
The loud screams and cheering is now inside my head. My breathe is heavy. My heart pounded on my chess.
Our team captian brea signaled us to make a little biometrics and slow run inside the court. So we do it. I just looked down. Focus! Trying not to look the crowd it will only make me more even nervous.
Accidentally my eyes drop in the VIP corner. I saw my best friend Candice waving at me. I just nodded at her direction. Well atleast she show herself to support me or else i will kick her in the ass, so I continue to running.

We took off our jacket and jogging pants, so we can warm up better. We are running back and fourth. Jumping here and there. Set and spike the ball.
" Okay girls. Come on " Our coach said as we walked towards him. He gave us specific instructions what to do inside the court. " We have to prevent errors, we don't need it. Focus on the receive, make sure to set the ball so our setter can make a play! "
" Don't hesitate to hit the ball. We will cover and support you guys " Our team captain said. " Don't afraid to our opponent, we practice for this game, we put so much effort and heart in this. "
Hearing their encouraging words makes my blood more alive. I will be giving my 101% percent today. We know this is not going to easy n game but we will do everything, we will work as a team.
'' Celine '' Brea called me
'' Yeah? ''
'' Goodluck. Let's do this ''
And we high five.

She trusted me.
A perfect combination partner.
