Page 91 of Teaching the Kot'oll Coach

Winnie catches the floatball and drives past a player from the other team. She swings her bat and sends the floatball going straight toward the goal.

I’m ready to cheer for her when someone sneaks in and smacks the floatball elsewhere.

That’s such a bummer.

But there’s still time.

If our team wins, I’m going to give Winnie a prize. If we don’t win, she’ll get her punishment, privately.

Well, sometimes I can’t figure out whether she thinks of my cock as punishment or prize, but whatever floats her boat and makes us happy.

“Go! Team!” I turn around to the rest of the team, who are also on the bench, which isn’t a lot of beings. “Hey, let’s cheer for the team! The principal will buy us dinner if we win. More importantly, we’re so close to winning!”

The rock music explodes in the field, and I almost jump at that. Adrenaline surges through my bloodstream as if I’m in the field. The rock music is the signal for the last five minutes of the last session of floatball.

The other staff pick up their baton and join me in the cheering. We are here already. May as well enjoy the game.

Winnie speeds up her ship, joining Jackel as they take the floatball from the other team, who can’t decide which side to go to when the two of them go against him at once.

Jackel passes Winnie the ball, and she swings it to the goal.

The other team hurries to dash to the goal, reaching their bat at the floatball...

A loud whistle cuts through the air. The fireworks explode in the air to scream a goal.

“Yes! We made it!” I scream at the top of my lungs.

There is only one minute left. My team can survive it. Not to mention, one minute left means another minute of scoring points.

The last minute is... slightly lacking in action. But I get it. It’s a match for fun and sportsmanship, no one is fighting to stay on the team, and no one is fighting for MVP titles for the season.

Peaceful floatball is a bit out of the norm for me, but that’s okay. I can save some of the intensity for the tournament. I’m going to try my best to make sure the school team is the best in the city and beyond.

“So... Mr. Stek...”

I blink as I turn my gaze to another member of the teaching staff. Hm... I don’t think he is this much shorter than me.

He says, “Do you mind...?”

I blink, only to find myself standing on the bench. I must have jumped onto it when I was busy cheering. “Oh, right? Sorry about that.”

I come off the bench when the team is heading back. I’d run over and hug Winnie if there was no one else around, but I can’t do that in front of the kids.

Some of the staff who are closer to us know that we’re dating, but most of the school is clueless. Not that they have to know about our relationship anyway.

Winnie grins as she comes over and hugs every female on the team. She rubs shoulders with all the males. I guess that has to be it for now.

I hand her the water bottle alongside another three bottles for the other team members closest to me.

“Thank you.” She takes a sip of her water. “It’s wild to be out in the heat for so long.”

I chuckle. “If the principal was playing, maybe we’d move this to indoors.”

She rolls her eyes and gulps down even more water. “Speaking of which. I heard your scream even out there.”

“Hey, that’s the point of cheering.”

She grins. Her smile pulls me in and sets a fire in my stomach, like always. We’ve been together for a bit by now, but her smile is never getting old. There’s nothing better than seeing that every single day. I’m more than grateful that we work in the school together and can be with each other almost all the time. Even when we aren’t physically in the same room, it feels like we’re together, right next to each other.
