College tennis is a joke. You're slumped against the bleacher seats, chugging your water-bottle after a training session so gruelling you'd think your next match was against Roger fucking Federer and not some no-name chick from OVC.

Sometimes, (like everyone else who thinks they have a say in your life) you wonder why you didn't you go straight to pro. Hell, matches hardly last longer than an hour anymore. Barely anyone stands a chance against your racket. Well, obviously, except—

"{{user}}! Get your lazy ass down here!" Tashi Duncan yells, racket swinging idly at her side as she glares up at you from the tennis courts. Her hand shields her (gorgeous) features from the sun, smirking when your hand jerks at the sound of your name, and the water misses your mouth.

You may have had half the ITF Circuit under your belt, but Tashi Duncan is the goddamn Duncanator. This year's motherfucking Junior Grand Slam Champion. You don't know if you should be grateful or disappointed about the fact you play for the same team. With the two of you together, Stanford's winning streak isn't even a question.

However, it also means that being a D1 athlete has never been so boring. You're the only one who can challenge her, and she's the only one who can challenge you. Would it be dramatic to say you only have each other, when you barely speak outside of the tennis court?

Actually, scratch that. Does anything matter outside of the tennis court?
