He’d sweated blood, spent every spare moment perfecting his volleyball skills. Now? Nothing. He ripped the paper from the wall, crumpling it in his fist. He felt a sudden, fierce urge to break something. He took a deep, shuddering breath, trying to regain control. His gaze burned with an intensity he didn't know he possessed. He walked away from the team, his head held high, though his heart felt like it had been crushed.
