Two Years later

Timo POV

Slowly, I opened my eyes. The alarm was ringing and for a slight moment I wanted to test my two years of Volleyball-training by destroying it. But after seeing the time shown on the display I decided that it would be a waste of time. As fast as possible, I put on my clothes, brushed my teeth and ran into the kitchen, were my mother was waiting with the breakfast.

„You're late!"

„Tell me something new!"

After breaking the world-record in eating breakfast in less than 1 Minute, I grabbed my bag and began to run. Good for me, because of the last two years filled with Volleyball, my condition was very good, so I somehow managed to get to school in time. We had sports in our first lesson. After quickly saying hi to my best friends Niki and Teresa, I changed my normal clothes with my sports clothes and put my shoes on. While doing so, I checked whom I already knew and who was knew to me. Most of the people weren't knew to me. I sighed. I hoped that maybe a few of that assholes weren't here anymore, but most of them somehow managed to pass the fourth grade. But they didn't matter anyway and not all of them were too bad. I just had to get through this school day. Cause this evening....

„Hey man, you're really looking forward to it, aren't ya?"

I turned around. The boy who just spoke to me was Niki, my best friend and the only person I knew who was nearly as addicted to Volleyball as I was.

„Of course I am! That's what I've been training for the last two years!"

Today we'll have our first training in a real Volleyball club! I'm finally going to play Volleyball in a team!

„Okay Kids, today we are going to do some legs-training! First of all, I want all of you to jump as high as you can. On your highest point, touch the basketball-board. I will measure your height then. Let's go!"

Nice, that's perfect for me!

„Niki!"

So it's Nikis turn now. His jump was perfect, as he was able to get a height of 3.03 meters.

„What! Beyond 3 meters?! That's crazy!"

Everyone was impressed by that. I wasn't, as I saw enough of Nikis jumps while practicing with him. Next was a girl with brown hair. She wasn't too big, maybe a bit bigger than me.

„Mei!"

So that's her Name. I've never seen her before, maybe she's knew. As she began her approach, I gasped.

„That's a Volleyball Approach!"

Niki nodded. Her jump was very good but she was still not as good as Niki, getting to a height of 2.85 meters.

„Timo"

So it's my turn now. Of course everyone started to make fun of me. I was used to that, I didn't care. I started to run. While running, everything around me got unnecessary. Just that jump. With all of my power, I jumped, no I flew! I love the feeling of flying. It makes me feel invincible. I punched the Board and perfectly landed on my feet.

„2.98 meters!"

Little did I know, the girl with the brown hair was watching me and Niki the whole time, smiling.

„Timo and Niki huh? This years tournaments are going to be interesting!"
