Chapter 0407

Nina

I watched Enzo storm off in the direction of the hockey arena. He was clearly angry, and if I was being honest, I was angry as well because of the nasty things he had said. I didn't think that he fully meant what he said, but it still hurt nonetheless and I had to blink back a few more tears.

"Enzo!" I called. "Enzo!" But he didn't turn around. With a sigh, I turned back to face the recruits, who were now standing around me with confused expressions on their faces. I had no idea how to train them, and I felt like I was left with a job that I wasn't qualified for.

"Um... Should we go home?" one guy asked, scratching his head confusedly.

I sighed again and glanced at the time on my phone; there was still supposed to be another half hour of practice, and we really didn't have enough time to be ending training sessions early because of arguments.

The recruits all groaned, almost in unison, but lined up at the cone I was pointing at nonetheless. I scooped up Enzo's discarded stopwatch off of the damp grass and clicked it on.

"Okay," I said, walking over to meet the recruits. "On the count of three, I want the first person in line to sprint to the end and weave between the cones, turn around, and come back. Tap the next person on the shoulder when you get back and then that person can go immediately. Okay? Three... Two... One!"
