"What's your name?" The guy asked Alex while they walked to the volleyball game.
"Alex." He mumbled as he's watching at his bigger and older body. "How is this possible? I still can't believe I'm a grown-up now."
"Shh. I told you I'll explain it to you after the game." The young man said. "My name is Max, btw. And they're Rex and Jax."
Alex noticed how the other guys were as big and strong as Max. They all saw him growing up from a kid to a man and now they acted like if it was completely normal. Alex didn't feel quite comfortable among these guys.
"It's me and you against Rex and Jax, ok?" Max told Alex. "There's a punishment for the loser, so play well!"
"Punishment? What kind of punish-?" Alex can't finish talking when they volleyball game restarted. He had played a few times before but with his bigger frame he was getting a hard time. Fortunately, Max was a great player and they were doing a good job against Rex and Jax.
"Focus! Alex!" Max yelled at him when he noticed how bad he was performing. "I don't want to be punished by the frat!"
"Frat?" Alex repeated but he got distracted and volleyball fell in front of him.
"One point more and you'll lose!" Rex laughed. "I hope you are ready for the punishment, Max. Even bringing that kid didn't help you at all!!"
"I'm going to enjoy seeing you suffering and crying like a baby!" Jax grinned. "I'll be my revenge!!"
"I thought these guys were your friends." Alex told Max.
"Not exactly like that!" Max said as he hit the ball. "They're my cousins but we have had some rivalry for years. Watch out!!"
The ball was falling directly to Alex. He was nervous, they could lose if he fails this hit. What will happen now?
