Rika was lost as soon as everyone started using way too much English. She had bitten off more then she could chew, as it quickly became apparent. She only caught a couple words out of it here and there, and as for herself she had already used up most of the words she could think of the top of her head that could fit in this situation. Her grades were passable, but there was a difference between conversational English and just managing to squeak out passing grades on tests. She was reduced to nodding her head and saying "uh-huh" at the end of their sentences. As they switched back to Japanese she realized that they were discussing going back to the volleyball game. Ah! She almost forgot about that due to all of the delays. She nodded her head in agreement, this time knowing what she was agreeing to for once.

"Yeah. Let's do this!" She said excitedly, taking her position near the middle so that she could do some sets and bumps and whatever. She didn't know for sure all the technical stuff, but she'd watched enough beach volleyball to get the idea of how the game was played. Well, she was watching the players more so then the sport they were doing, but naturally she caught on at least the basic idea of the sport as well. She knew she couldn't handle doing the spiking so would leave that to someone else. 

"Eh-...are you all right?!" She shouted as Tohru got slammed in the face as the ball whizzed over her right shoulder. The "attack" had come in far quicker then she could properly react, and in all honesty she had let her guard down when the first two serves had failed. She kneeled down to see if she was okay, but she seemed fired up and was focused intently on the other team. Well, she supposed that she'd be fine. She needed to concentrate on hitting the ball so that wouldn't happen again. She got into position, focusing intently on the ball and the other girls so she wouldn't mess up...although she began to start focusing too much on the other girls in areas not necessary to the game.

"Snap out of it Rika!" She mentally shouted at herself. "Focus on the ball. Don't let it pass you!" She waited for the ball to be put in motion again.
