- Nailya Renatovna, hello. You must remember me, I’m Vika, I once did volleyball, but not with you, but with Anna Viktorovna. - The girl still plucked up arrogance, and called. - At the training camp we still had a case ...

- Yes, Vika, hello. Of course I remember you. And I confess, I did not expect to hear you again. You didn't seem to pull. Totally. I hope you understand that if you want to come back ...

- No, no, that you are Nailya Renatovna! And then I did not pull, right. And now there is nothing to talk about!

- Hmm, so what then? Speak Speak, otherwise I'm even intrigued! No, wait! Wait, don't talk. Wait, I guess, ”a tense pause hung. - That case ... for some reason you started talking about it. Yulia, by the way, I don’t know if you know about it or not, she is still engaged. Is it related to her?

- Not. I ... I'm really glad that she is fine, but I haven’t seen her for a long time, and haven’t heard anything about her ...

- Wait a minute! - I heard a powerful voice. - That case. And Julia has nothing to do with it. Is someone hitting you? Or are you hitting someone?

And Vika, as she could, briefly described her entire situation. With the departure of the sport she went to college, and found work for the summer. Interesting, with traveling, in a creative team. Not very promising, bring it in, but in fact, this work was initially considered as temporary! Relationships with colleagues did not work out. From the very beginning they began to bully her, showing her superiority. And then she. Remembering the past. Torn the main instigator. Taking advantage of the situation. And twisted, rushed! And, most importantly, Vika now has absolutely no idea what to do. That is ... she ... guesses of course. But just ... I just wanted to consult. With someone ... With someone who will understand. With someone who does not even twist a finger to his temple. And, if she suddenly interferes, she asks her to forgive, and will not bother anymore.

- Vika, I understood you, - the woman listened to the whole story without interrupting. - Where are you now? Are you far away? We need to meet. Meet and talk. This is not a telephone conversation, do you understand? I understand that you are in good standing with the bosses, - some laugh was heard, - and they will let you go without any problems. Lie something. And let's move at a pace, and right today. Address, I hope you do not need to dictate?

The girl decided to really not lose time, and immediately went to the station. And Marina Borisovna podsoila, and almost instantly organized the car. Very nice of her, if you think. Apparently, he really appreciates. Vika somehow did not want to lie, and therefore she simply said that she needed to leave immediately for a day or two. And at first, of course, they tried to find out what happened, but then they spat and let go. It is necessary, it means it is necessary. And for this the girl was especially grateful. Yes, with the road helped! At the station, the girl bought a train ticket, and said goodbye to the driver, who left only after personally making sure that everything was in order, and the guide was already holding it in her hands. Apparently, received strict instructions.

Along the way, Vika realized how little she still knew about life. It would seem that another city, and even not a city, but do not understand where in the countryside. How does she get home? And here ... Only one night in the train, and hello, Volga, hello, Lower! But at first it seemed like a great journey, the most ridiculous now. No, of course, the girl has been where she used to be, in the sports part, and just with her parents, and she herself did. But all this was somehow planned in advance, prepared for a long time, and therefore gave the impression of something big, grandiose. And then everything turned out to be simple, if nothing is complicated.

- Hello everyone, someone may remember me, someone not, I go to Naila Renatovna.She is waiting for me, so with your permission I will use your shower. Otherwise, I am only from the train, it is somehow awkward to appear in this form.

There were no objections, with someone even exchanged a few words, recalling the old days, and the girl went into the shower. Drops of moisture struck the face, bringing with it a whole whirlwind of memories. This is not just a shower for you, it is a real shower from the sports locker room! Behind the wall they talked, discussing the upcoming training session, and just chatted merrily about various trifles. Oh, how long ago it was! And at the same time as recently! Lucky for them! They pulled, they all did not have to leave the sport! Although ... on some of the girls Vika clearly looked at the traces of whipping, although she did not show her mind, not wanting to delve into this topic. And that she has not yet considered all! So at the expense of luck ... But in any case, they are at least in sports! Vika put on clean clothes, which she prudently took with her, and, along with the others, came out of the locker room. One is not in sports form. Unusual sensations.

- Hello, Nailya Renatovna, the group is ready for training! - Reported the captain of the team, standing along with everyone in the ranks at attention.

- Hello girls, hello. And you, Vika, hello, well done, that so quickly arrived. Sit bye somewhere here, soon I will come to you. And you let, come on, everything is alive for the work!

“I will soon come up” - this actually meant that as soon as the more important things ended. And not the fact that it will be soon. But the girl was not angry, on the contrary, she was glad that they had listened to her at all, of which she was by no means sure from the outset. Just noted for myself that you should not wait for the conversation right now, and there is still time to think. On the road and the hectic it all somehow did not succeed, but now, to the cries of the coach and the measured sounds of innings, I just thought. Why is she even here? What will they talk about? She did not even know why she actually called! No, she was decisively stupid now. I just wanted to turn around and leave. Run away, in fact. And it only stopped from this act that it would be even more stupid! The trainer, meanwhile, has launched its arsenal, and someone notably zazvizdyulilo! Nailya Renatovna has a rope hanging on her belt, only here Vika saw her. Immediately I didn’t pay attention, and even then it became curious. Her coach, Anna Viktorovna, never had anything like that. And here ... is she actually the first time in training with Naila Renatovna, has it always been like this here, or are these some innovations? And the coach didn’t even feel too shy to let this jump rope go, then one girl flew from her, then the second. And for any part of the body, what will have. And nothing, no one objected, sometimes they just screamed a little if they suddenly flew from behind their backs, and continued to train as if nothing had happened.

- Artamonov, come to me!

- Yes, Nailya Renatovna, - the girl ran up, breathing heavily.

- What was that, tell me now?

- Nailya Renatovna, she serves just fine. The ball falls far, I do not have time to react - the girl was still breathing.

- You can not, still! What are you exhausted, Artamonov? Training has just begun in fact.

Forty minutes actually, but Artamonov was not saved. Like all the other excuses. Strictly Nailya Renatovna! During the break, she promised to punish the laggard. Interesting, and when is there a break? And, most importantly, how is it customary to punish? However, the answer had to wait not so long. And during this time more than one girl received a skipping rope.

- So, everything, break! - Coach shouted. - Dasha, come here, you will be punished. And you, Vika, also go, just after we talk to you.

However, no one dispersed. On the contrary, everyone crowded in the center and waited for something. What did they expect, punishment of Artamonova? The girl, meanwhile, boldly pulled off her clothes, not forcing him to wait. Nobody said anything to her though. At least Vika did not hear anything like that. And what the devil is she naked then? Very sick, or what?

- Nailya Renatovna, ready for punishment! - Artamonov stood at attention.

- Well done, that is ready.Here Vika will punish you.

- I obey!

Fig yourself! No doubt, no hesitation! She listens ... No, in the eyes of something ...
