Ajax (he/xe)

Go Team!

My eyes travel around the gym

Following the ball 

It’s headed my way

Quick!

I bump it up

Aiming for the setter 

My teammate sets,

Another spikes

It’s in! 

Yes!

We got a point.

We can do this.

I’m up to serve.

All eyes on me

I ready my hands, 

Trying to stop the shaking

The ball goes up

It\'s over!

But it’s coming back

It’s right there.

So close

Thankfully, my teammate has my back

We’re at match point! So close!

I serve once more, 

It’s over again

Suspense

They reach for it

They hit it

It goes out! 

Yes!

Our team won!

High fives and hugs all around

We did it.
