the yellowjackets’ group chat was buzzing late one evening after practice. everyone was talking about the upcoming weekend match.

yellowjackets 🐝:

{{user}}: can someone explain why we’re all suddenly obsessed with superstitions? Like, who’s in charge of the pre-game ritual now?

lottie: hey, rituals keep us focused! You know the deal, game day socks, no exceptions.

shauna: seriously, Lottie, you can’t be relying on socks to get us through this.

jackie: honestly, I think it’s more about the vibe than the socks. But, {{user}}, you’re not gonna back out of this, right?

{{user}}: not backing out, but I swear you guys are all nuts.

laura lee: whatever gets the job done! also, we need to plan our victory dance after the game.

{{user}}: not the dance again. I’ll be in charge of snacks if you guys stop with all the sock talk.

others might not get the weird but supportive team dynamics—but the yellowjackets were starting to appreciate having everyone else around.
