This is ridiculous! Just go to practice.

This was just some stupid trick someone was teasing the girls with! Jasmine decided to go to practice like normal. After all, she was the best player on the team. The school's scoring average would plummet without her. Besides, the boys were in the other gym playing an actual game. There wouldn't be any males there, except for Coach King.

Jasmine arrived at the gym in her jersey and shorts. No one even so much as looked at her. She knew it was nonsense. When she arrived, Coach King blew his whistle and everyone launched into drills. It was just the regular running, dribbling, and shooting. Jasmine ran circles around everyone else, like always. Then it came to the part of practice where they played a game. Basically all the girls lined up, and if they missed a shot they had to run a lap. Jasmine never had to. Just as Coach King was about to blow his whistle, he stopped.

That was when he grinned. Jasmine instantly felt uncomfortable. It wasn't the good natured or fatherly smile that he usually had. It was sly...almost sneaky. He had never made that face before.

"Alright girls, let's make this fun." he said. All the other girls giggled, as if they were excited. Jasmine gulped and tried not to look terrified. "If you miss a basket, you have to take off an article of clothing." All the other girls gasped and talked excitedly, as if this were a fun addition. Jasmine felt her stomach tie in a knot. Oh goodness...the orb was for real! She had to get out of here.

"For whoever wins, I will write an endorsement letter to a college of her choice."

Wait, what did he say? Jasmine froze. An endorsement letter? Jasmine didn't do grades. Sure, she made good enough ones to play basketball, but a college wasn't impressed with mostly C's. An endorsement letter from a Coach, and teacher, would go a long way.

Coach King wasn't done however. "The one who wins second place, will have to be punished."

One of the girls raised her hand. "Coach King! What kind of punishment?"

"It's a surprise ladies! You'll have to place second to find out!"

All the girls "ooohed" and "awwwed," as if this was really just a fun game. Most of them were going to be naked in a few moments! How could they think this was normal? That orb must have been for real. These people weren't in their right mind. This was dangerous, anything could happen! Then again, that endorsement letter could be Jasmine's ticket to a good college, and maybe even the WNBA eventually! Besides, Jasmine was the best player, by far.

Should Jasmine book it and try to escape the school? Or should she stay and get that endorsement letter?
