“Yeah, yeah. Ukraine got us this time but we’ll be kicking the next team’s ass. In fact, my team is going to keep kicking ass and we’re going to get the championship this year. I know it.” Kara smirked as she sat in the quad, listening to the freshman that had come up and asked about what it felt like to be the captain of a losing team.

This time, however, the phone got stuck and she couldn’t hang up, so she profusely pressed the button and eve threw it down on the table. Sad, sad as hell. I thought you were, Miss Big Bad Ryback.
