Greg came to Hammel loving – living – for team sports. Winning because he’s bested people was one thing, but winning with a team, well that was just amazing. A natural extrovert, he thrived in the camaraderie that such events forge. Being surrounded by people who were just as excited and driven for winning was like a drug to him, and he just couldn’t get enough. So when he learned that Ms. Chung’s style of teaching for gym was to host a tournament amongst her classes, he was ecstatic.
Then he got stuck with people who weren’t exactly too enthusiastic about team sports as he was.
It started with Oriel Vanguard during the indoor volleyball tourney. They finished fourth, but Greg swore they could’ve won the whole thing had the other boy been a little less grouchy and not put everyone else in a bad mood. For co-ed badminton, he finished seventh with Yasmin Angelou. She didn’t move unless the shuttlecock was within her arm’s reach so Greg had to cover practically 75% of their side. The opposite happened with Kyle Nguyen in ping-pong, and his greed made them lose within the second round of eliminations.
So by the time beach volleyball came around – “modified” beach volleyball anyway, since instead of pairs they’d be in trios ‘cause they need to finish with the tourney quick due to the shortened classes ‘cause it’s finally summer (run-on sentences for the win1!) – his hopes weren’t as high anymore. He still wanted to win, but he’s decided to not hope too much. The rumours he’s heard about the Stewart twins didn’t make things better either.
“Orion? Naomi?” Greg knocked on their door, volleyball held close to his side. He decided he’d practice with the two (or one? He still wasn’t sure how to address gestalts yet) a few times to see how their team dynamics work. And hopefully fix things before the actual game. ‘Cause he might not be as hopeful as he was before, but that didn’t mean he didn’t want to win a gym class tournament before the school year ends.
