Thread: Playing With The Guys (Bevatoria and meomeo)

I'm sure you all have noticed two of our campers in particular.... At those words, Tiffany felt every pair of eyes in the gym turn towards herself at the back of the huddle. The 18 year-old forced her lips into a smile and did a little wave with the left hand. 'Thanks for pointing out the obvious', she thought, 'as if these boys haven't been ogling since the moment I stepped foot inside this stuffy gym.' Standing at a cool 5'11'' and sporting a spry athletic body, the busty brunette is the kind of teenage hottie who turn heads, especially when wearing a fitting work out top and stretchy shorts. Besides her looks, Tiffany's skills had also stood out during warm ups by shooting better than some of the guys. In fact, Tiffany is going to a Div 1 college on an athletic scholarship in the fall. But no one knew Tiffany is actually so fed up with basketball at this point. She used to live and breath the sport, but eventually all the early morning workouts... after school practices... sticking to a diet... they add up. Think about spending all that time on other pursuits hanging out with friends like a normal teenager, or getting a boyfriend, or having a cool hobby like being a graffiti artist. So it irked her to be sent to a basketball camp the last weekend of the summer doing nothing but hoop, just because her stepfather wanted her out of the house for four days, as if she won't be moving out for college in a fortnight anyways. Just the thought made Tiffany's temper flare... As the coach continued on, Tiffany glanced sideways at the only other girl in the gym, thinking to herself, 'What is she doing here? Why is she even bothering ?' Mariko was the captain of a rival school team... although that is stretching the definition of 'rival' by a mile. Tiffany's team has trashed Mariko's for the last few years running, and on an individual level Mariko is a few notches below. For Mariko, basketball was never about getting a scholarship someday. That ship has sailed. Like the rest of the 99, Mariko plays ball to have fun, be part of a team, make friends and hopefully some lifelong memories along the way. That is not to say Mariko is terrible - she is pesky as hell, those toned legs able to motor up and down the court all day, and is programmed to go after every ball as if her life depended on it. With her natural energetic and bubbly personality, she is the first one to lift her team's morale and help a teammate up. To sum her up, Mariko is a joy to play with and a nightmare to play against. Even during warmups Mariko felt overwhelmed by the level of play. She hardly ever played on the same court with guys, and the ball seemed to move at a different pace! And at just 5'6'' she is easily the shortest camper. The top of her head could barely reach some of the guys' armpits! 'But that just means I'll improve more over the next couple days!' Mariko thought to herself as she wiped sweat off her brow. Outside, the temperature reached the nineties, and the gym felt like the inside of an inferno as the drills and scrims began. Both girls were fueled by an instinctive need to make a good first impression. Tiffany made it look easy as she hardly missed shots, but at the same time her boredom and indifference was all too clear from her body language. Mariko on the other hand had to be her usual energizer bunny self, which means hustling her ass off with 200 effort, all while wearing a smile and looking cute as a button even though plastered in sweat. It took no time for the girls' 'rivalry' to get going again, and once more it was one-sided in Tiffany's favor. While Mariko was on defence guarding Tiffany, she ran straight into a hard screen the taller girl set, sending the half-Japanese teenager ass-first onto the hardwood floor, the wind getting knocked out of her... while Tiffany received a pass and calmly hit another shot...
