Rick, one of Chad´s teammates and his best friend, had gotten a similar note to his in his locker, but hadn´t wanted to make Chad jealous, so had hidden it at the time. The difference between their notes, not that either would know, was that while Chad was invited for four pm and with the gloves as a present, Rick had gotten a pair of shoes, dark-brown with paw-pads under the sole and claw-like tips on the end. And was invited for five pm.
When Rick returned to his locker around the same time Chad reached the fieldhouse, so at three fifty, having just witnessed Chad walking around wearing only a big diaper, mittens and weird socks a few minutes ago, he had a similar situation to Chad. He heard a voice saying “Confident”, but saw no one around who could have said that.
Opening his locker, Rick found his clothes, neatly folded up. “Weird” he thought. “Why are they folded? I had just thrown them in, right?” As he thought about it, maybe he had just forgotten about leaving them like this, he quickly stripped out of his actual clothes and pulled on the neatly folded ones. Underneath the comfortable shorts and shirt, Rick found a pair of brown shoes he had gotten a glimpse on before. That was the present the note mentioned. He had been asked to wear them instead of his normal ones, and laughed at the paw-like design. After slipping them on, a pair of light gloves remained, and with a shrug, he pulled them on as well, thinking they were another present to him.
Now fully clothed, Rick looked at the watch on the wall. It was just five past four, leaving him with nearly an hour to go to the fieldhouse. Thinking about what he could do with that time, he decided on a relaxed walk around the school and through the park next to it, as there was an entrance from the park near the fieldhouse.
On his way out, he saw more than one person looked surprised as he walked by, but had no idea it was because of his outfit. With his relaxed walk, Rick arrived at the fieldhouse around four fifty, a few minutes to spare before the meeting. Not knowing that exactly, Rick just went inside. As the first door to the left was locked, he went into the first one to the right instead. The room was empty beside a few chairs, and a dusty board on the wall. “Huh weird. Was this some kind of classroom before? But maybe the coach had just explained tactics here before.” He thought as he stepped to the board, but there was nothing written on it.
Jenn had heard Rick coming into the building and stood behind the door, not wanting to be seen to before he entered the room. Luckily, he was distracted by the board, making this rather easy. With a bang, she closed the door and locked them in.
Rick jumped when the door behind him closed louder than expected. Turning around, he spotted a girl around his age standing just next to the door, grinning at him.
“Who are you?” he asked her confused. Was she the one asking him to come here? She wasn´t exactly his type.
Jenn´s grin widened a bit. “Oh, I´m just the one who takes revenge on the group mostly at fault for hurting my cousin. Namely, the most important players of the teams.”
Rick looked her up and down. “You? Want to take us down? With what army?” It was meant more like a joke, but he wasn´t nervous. What could that girl do to them?
Jenn wasn´t impressed. “I don´t need an army. I have already sorted out your quarterback, Chad. Little Chaddy won´t be playing for the teams anymore. And soon, you won´t either.” She laughed at Rick´s shocked face.
“He would kill you if he heard you call him that. He is neither little, nor does he like that nickname. Why wouldn´t he or I play anymore?” Rick asked after a minute.
Now Jenn giggled again. “Oh, I´m sure he would do that if he still could. But he hasn´t attacked me when I called him that multiple times, not that he wouldn´t try. But our big baby girl Chaddy couldn´t hurt a mouse. As for why you wouldn´t play, neither off you will be able to play anymore, due some … unique limitations.”
Rick was even more shocked now. Not for what she explained, but for her courage to call Chad that. But that still doesn´t explain what she meant. “I still don´t understand. What limitations?”
