" I told Heidi that we had a game match that day but she was still angry. Women! I can't understand them at all."
"What did you do, Les?"
"No. What should I do?"
Enzo leaned against the door jamb and looked around at the men here in the locker room located inside the university gym here at Saint Vincent University. The men were so focused on the conversation that they did not immediately notice him.
He had just returned from Saint Louis University and talked to the captain of the tennis club there. Since they still have a practice game, he immediately went straight to SVU.
"All right. As for me, I will never trade a tennis match just for the sake of the girl," he heard Cloud, one of the Golden Duo of their tennis club.
"Same here!"
"Not either. If you love him, he should be your number one priority."
"Just tight, Chuck?"
These eight men inside the locker room were his friends and all were members of the core group of the tennis club called Tennis Knights. He is the acting captain-cum-coach of the Tennis Knights as well as the entire tennis club.
The nine members of the Tennis Knights take the same course in Computer Engineering. It was pure coincidence that they all loved playing tennis. And it was also pure coincidence that they all became a part of Tennis Knights.
Enzo, Les, Cloud, Chuck, Reus, Guji, Kei and Chase were in the same class while Rein was two years younger than them.
"What's that, Les, Cloud, heart to heart talk?"
"Shut your bloody mouth, San Diego!" Guji smirked at the talkative Reus.
"I'm not talking to you, Nognog! Fire!"
"Than you like a parrot!"
How noisy they were before he arrived, how quickly they calmed down when they heard him sneeze. Maybe it was because of him. Or maybe it was because of ... him.
"There you are, Coach Enzo! I mishue, Captain, sir!"
He looked at Reus sharply so his smile twisted. "Twenty laps around the court, now!" One by one he turned to his friends, "All of you, twenty laps, now!"
Volunteers stand up and come out. Chase, his genius friend, came out last.
"What did Martin say?"
He immediately replied, "The first part of the tournament will be held here. He invites us to a practice game but I am hesitant."
It tapped him lightly on the shoulder. "Good luck, 'Zo."
He heaved a sigh.
He just laid the overall bag on the floor and followed his colleagues to the Open Court. He had already put on a tennis uniform before he could even come here to the locker room.
As soon as he arrived at the Open Court, his head immediately warmed up when he saw the women squirming on the side. Those girls were just distractions on their part.
"What's wrong with you, 'Zo?"
Enzo turned to Chase. He did not realize that it was close to him.
"Hn."
"Have you ever felt this? That something's going to change any minute from now?"
He just looked at the friend.
It smiled, your smile as if it was hiding something. "I have a feeling many things will change for us, Enzo."
"Naks! It looks like Chase is already confessing his love to Enzo. I'm thrilled . Har-har . That's a labyu ."
If it just looked deadly, Reus might have jumped to the floor earlier because he thought so.
"Reus, another twenty laps around the court. Now!"
When he frowned, he knew he had retaliated somehow.
The wind blew him away as Chase's words circled his mind. Yes, he could feel that something was bound to change and he doesn't know if this change would be good to him or not.
Allie sighed as she felt it . He knew it was because he was awake last night. He finished his assignments today. He also spent the night in the hospital watching over his mommy.
But it's okay. Just for her mommy. Her mother sacrificed so much for her. What is he watching over it.
Allie looked up as someone dropped pineapple juice on the table. "Thanks, Avi," he said to the friend.
Allie could count on one hand her friends and Avi on the other. He has been relieved here since he first met the girl. That is why until now they are still friends.
Bachelor of Science in Hotel and Restaurant Management is the course that Avi and I took here at Saint Louis University. They are in their third year of that course. Allie really wants to take a course that you are connected to in the arts but she is very practical.
It sat opposite him. "You're welcome. Are you sick? You're paralyzed, oh."
He waved his palm. "Just woke up," he replied and then sipped the juice.
"Are you sure you can? You even applied as the manager of our tennis club."
"Of course. I can, 'no. Then I know mommy will be relieved when she finds out I joined the club. You know that, thinking she is a burden to me which was not true."
Allie recently submitted an application form to the tennis club of Saint Louis University. In the three years he has been studying here, this is the first time he has joined a club. He does not have time to join clubs and organizations. She spends more time studying and taking care of her mommy.
When he was in elementary and high school, he also did not participate in school activities because he was lame, tired quickly and got sick quickly. His resistance is weak. She just let go of her condition for a long time but her mommy got sick.
But now, she will apply to calm her mommy. It forces him to join an organization and not confine himself to taking care of it. To avoid this, he applied as a manager at the tennis club.
It wasn't a sacrifice and he also all-wanted to be a member of the tennis club even as a manager.
"Just don't force yourself, ah. Rest when you're tired," Avi's voice stirred Allie's mind.
He smiled at his friend. "I know."
Even though he has few friends, he knows they are real and true. He does not need thousands of friends if he is not a real person.
"What time was your interview with the tennis club?"
"Three o'clock."
"Uh-huh. I hope you get accepted. When you get accepted, walk me to Red baby ."
"It's crazy. Russel will be angry with you," he laughed.
Russel is his best friend. Russel is captain of a tennis club at another university. Even if Avi refuses, Allie feels that she likes Russel.
Avi folded his arms. "Whatever. I don't care about that pest. Let them bring her matrons." It waved its palm. "Of course. Ashleigh is coming out next week," he said.
Ashleigh it refers to is another of their friends. He is studying at another university. He became his friend once when he came here to Saint Louis to cover an event.
"All right, I'll say goodbye to mommy first."
"Then we can visit your mom afterwards."
"Okay!"
Eventually Avi's attention was focused on his laptop. Allie, on the other hand, looked around.
They are here in the open area of Saint Louis. There are tables and chairs here. There are tables with basement so it is not sunny. There they stood.
