The plane landed to Texas's airport. The New Jersey volleyball team hit the ground. They were on the bus now going to the hotel. Pauline was lucky that she had a room of herself. She wouldn't mind to share it with an any other girl. But in the team were girls that they didn't like each other and that was obvious.
They arrived at the hotel and took the keys to their rooms. Pauline opened the door of her room and walked in. It was a nice room. A double bed on the left, a small living room on the right. A small closet and a bathroom. She left the suitcase on the bed and walked out to the balcony. The balcony has view to the pool. She smiled. She sut on the chair and pulled her mobile phone from her pocket. She found Jesse's number and called him. After one ring he answered it.
"Hey, where have you been?" he said first. "We just arrived at the hotel. And hello to you too." "Yeah, sorry Paul. You know how i am." "Jesse, i told you to the airport relax. I'm here to the hotel. We have trainning in three hours and then back to the hotel for dinner." Pauline explained. It suprised her that Jesse was still nervous about her. "Great! How was your flight?" "Good." "With the girls everything okay? Did that little bitch Esther said anything to you?" "Nope, she was very friendly though." Pauline answered to him.
Esther was the other setter on the team. She would be the basic setter and the team captain of the team. But couch choose Pauline over her. She never liked her. She said that captainship needs someone with more experience that Pauline has. At first that hurted Pauline. She never told anyone else unless Jesse. She couldn't hide it from him. His only advise was not to listen to her. She's just jelous because Pauline is the captain and not her. Jesse was right. She IS the captain of the team and not Esther.
"Maybe she finally accept that you're the captain." "Maybe." Pauline simply answered. "Nervous for tommorow?" Jesse asked. "Just a little. You know i'm always nervous before the game." "I know that. But you had played many games and still you're nervous." "Every game is unique Jesse. Plus we play in Texas and not in New Jersey." she answered wishing that wasn't true.
"Don't worry babe. Your next game will be here and you don't have to travel all over the country." Jesse answered. He wanted to make her relax and forget how miles away she was. "Yeah, you're right. Look, i gotta have a shower and get ready for the trainning. I'll call you after the dinner okay?" "Sure, babe. I'll wait. Have a nice trainning. Love ya." Jesse said and blow her a kiss from the phone. "Love you too." Pauline answered and hung up the phone.
She left the balcony and jumped to the shower. It was what she really needed this time. The shower was very refreshing. When she finished with her shower she checked the hour on the phone. She was on time. She opened the suitacase which was it on the bed. She pulled a pair of yoga pants and a hoodie of the NJ team. It was the first days of 2021 it was a little cold day.
Hour later they return back to the hotel. All the girls were on their rooms so was Pauline. Three rooms next to her was her best team mate, Robina. A middle hitter and a very good friend. They boned from the first day and stay this way ever since. Also a huge Bon Jovi fan. They were playing good volleyball together.
Robina walked out to the balcony to relax a little. When she heard a conversation from the room next to her. She stood up and tried to listen better. She heard Esther talking. "This is our change Rebekah! We can do this." "Not you Esther, I AM going to do it and you can't imagine how happy i am about it. Is time for the bitch to understand who rulles the team...." Rebekah said from the next room and highed five with Esther.
Robina rolled her eyes as she heard Esther and Rebekah talking. She was sure they were talkinga bout Pauline. She was more years in the team and Esther and Rebekah very well. Robina never understand why they didn't like Pauline. She was so nice and charming and so beautiful. They were jelous of all of them. Robina knew the answer. Now, she was pissed. She will not let them hurt Pauline in any way.
She left her room and walked to Pauline's. She knocked the door and the smiling pauline opened it. Robina walked in not being in the best mood. "Hey, what happend?" Pauline asked and sut next to Robina on the couch. "Esther and Rebekah happend." she said with raised voise. "What did they do again?" Pauline almost annoying. She knew that they were always maiking trouble.
"They didn't do anything yet. They'll do tommorow in the game." Robina said and looked at her. "Oh! And what that could be?" "I have no idea, something bad. I heard them talking. They might want to hurt you." Robina dropped the bomb. But she didn't wait Pauline to react like that. "So?" "Is that only what you gonna say?" Robina said and stood up.
"What more can i say? If they want to hurt me bad for them because i'll hurt them too." "You can't. They are older than us. And both want the same thing, glory. You better watch yourself if you want to go home safe and sound." Robina said. "And when they are planning it?" "On the game? In front of the cameras and the coaches?" Pauline asked suprised. She thought they were smarter than that.
"I don't know what they have in mind but you should keep an eye on them." "I will, but i don't think they are that fool." Pauline answered. "I don't know Pauline. You know they, they want a blaze of glory. You know the song." "Hey, because i'm a Darksider doesn't mean i don't know Jon's songs." "Anyway, try to relax. We have a big game tommorow. I want full of energy tommorow, alright captain?" "Got it! You too girl. We have to kick some ass in Jersey style!" Pauline answered and both laughed a little.
Robina left from the room leaving behind Pauline puzzled. Was Esther and Rebekah planning something against her? Of course she trusts Robina, she will never lie to her about something important like this. She wasn't sure of what to exept. In a court full of cameras and all the croud. Is craziness to hurt someone on the court. All Pauline has to do is wait until the game and see.
"Don't worry babe. Your next game will be here and you don't have to travel all over the country." Jesse answered. He wanted to make her relax and forget how miles away she was. "Yeah, you're right.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The team arrived at the court where the game will take place. Esther and Rebekah were too friendly this time. Robina was sure something will happend. She wished Pauline hoped the same thing. She thought that she will understand the danger of having them to the court.
The warming up has already started. Rebekah was keeping a very close to Pauline. She was watching close every single move she made. All the other girls in the team were asking her questions and were just trying to relax before the game. Pauline was so nice to everyone and always with a smile on her face, no matter what. She tried so hard to remember when she had seen Pauline sad. Esther saw her watching her and came closer to her.
"What are you thinking?" she asked. Rebekah turned and said "I can't do this." Esther knew exuactly of what she was talking about. "You can do this. Just imagine us being on the top of the team. And who knows maybe we'll be mebers of the USA team someday." she answered. She wanted this as much Rebekah wanted to. "Yeah, but not in that was Esther. Just look at her." Rebekah started. Both looked at Pauline's direction.
All the team was around her talking and laughing. Only Esther and Rebekah were alone. "Everyone likes her. That's why we are alone. I'm sorry but this girl deserves everything!" Rebekah said and stood up. "No, you can't leave, now. We have the best plane ever to be every we ever wanted. And you having seconds thoughts?" Esther said with agressiveness in her voise. "Yes, and i'm sure if you sit and think about it you will too." she walked away.
Esther said stood up as she yelled. "Yeah, Rebekah runaway like you always do!" That grabbed everyones attetion. Rebekah turned and faced esther as the them joined them. "I knew you were a coward..." Esther added. "Hey girls what's going on?" Robina asked. "You should Rebekah not me..." Esther said and all looked at Rebekah. "You're such a bitch Esther!" "Girls, please. I'm sure if you sit down you can make this work." Pauline said. She had no idea what was going like any other girl.
"No, Pauline. Things will never worked again between us. I'm sorry Esther but you crossed the line today." Rebekah said and left almost running from the court. She left everyone with their jaws open. These two never fight. Something was going on. Pauline was next to Robina when she said to her. "I'm going with her." she took a step but Robina stopped her by grabbing her hand. "Have you lost your mind?" "She is having a hard time. I'm the team captain, Robina. We have agame to play. We will never win if you play as one." Pauline answered and left.
She walked to the locket rooms and found Rebekah sitting there alone. "Hey!" she said and sut next to her. "Pauline please go. I want to be alone." Rebekah answered without looking to her. "Look, i know we didn't get along but we all want the same thing, to win this game and all the others. We can't do this if you don't forgive her." Pauline tried. "No, i will not forgive her." she started and looked at Pauline.
"Your so nice Pauline. One of the best team captains i've ever met. You deserve better than that." Pauline suprised as she asked. "What are you talking about?" "We all want a blaze of glory Pauline. Just a little one has a great power to change people. I never mean to hurt you but that glory overcame me. I didn't know what i was thinking when i said yes. I've never wanted to hurt in any way. But that was what Esther wanted. She wanted to be the captain, the leader. When coach said you will be the captain, she freaked out. She was cursing you hours and even days. She wanted to be you. But she was pasient. She waited for the right time and she will hit you." Rebekah explained.
While Rebekah was talking Pauline realized that Robina was right. Pauline never believed that Esther will do anything like that. "And this will happend today." "Yes, with my help we could do what we want more. But, without me she can't do anything. Don't worry. I will not let this happen to you. You have my word on that." Rebekah said and was looking her in the eyes. Pauline knew she was telling the truth.
"Alright. Now, get up. We have a game to play." Pauline said and stood up, Rebekah followed. "I'll leave you now. Be outside in two minutes okay? Before coach got crazy." Pauline said and start walking out of the room. "Pauline?" "Yeah?" she said as she turned. "Thank you for being you." Rebekah said. Pauline looked at her and smiled before she left her alone.
The game had started. The New Jersey team wins 13-10. The Texas team was plainning an attack. Pauline and Amanda jumped to the block. While they were on the air Amanda pushed hard her hit against Pauline's. That made Pauline lose her balance and hit hard the ground.
