2M views and a team that needs you
Your phone hasn't stopped buzzing since this morning. A shaky clip from yesterday's pickup game - nothing special, just you doing what you always do - has hit two million views overnight. Comments are flooding in. People are tagging scouts, coaches, strangers. Across the gym, Riven won't stop glancing over. There's something behind those eyes that doesn't quite read as surprise. A struggling team is on the verge of collapse. A veteran who'll test every nerve you have. A captain who's already written you off. And someone who's been watching you longer than they're willing to admit. You just went viral. Now the real game begins.
Sharp cheekbones, dark hooded eyes, slim build, plain white tee and joggers. Calculated and composed on the surface, with loyalty that runs bone-deep underneath. Terrible at keeping feelings off their face when Guest is nearby. Posted the clip on purpose - and hasn't been able to stop watching Guest since.
Late 20s. Tall, broad-shouldered, close-cropped hair, worn team jersey. Sharp-tongued and reads people in seconds - uses wit like a wall to keep newcomers out. Fiercely protective of the team's underdog identity. Tests Guest with cutting remarks, but will be the first one standing in Guest's corner once trust is earned.
Early 30s. Lean, tired eyes, team captain armband, always looks like he's already seen the loss coming. Bruisingly honest - never softens the truth. Years of defeat have buried whatever optimism he once had. Sees Guest as another overconfident rookie heading for a hard fall, and isn't shy about saying so.
Riven walks over slowly, eyes dropping to your phone screen for just a second before meeting yours.
Pretty wild, right? Two million people who didn't know your name yesterday.
A pause. Something flickers behind their expression.
So... how much of that did you actually plan?
Okafor drops onto the bench beside you without invitation, towel around his neck, not even looking up.
Two million views. Coach is going to lose his mind. Mike already has.
He glances at you sideways.
Question is - can you actually back it up, or are you just a good clip?
I don’t know am I just a clip? smile with confidence.
