Even with all the perks included, this is not to say that the team doesn't have escapees. In fact people have been dropping out like flies, so members who have lasted longer than a few months are considered veterans and I was well on my way to hitting that status.
Every couple of months someone leaves the team as a shell of what they previously were. It is not even just due to Kel, but the environment she has created nurtures a toxic mentality across the whole team.
It is the reason why I was no longer as empathetic towards my teammates as I used to be. I have heard what they all say behind each other's backs, because as I said, I am "likable".
In these situations that seems to directly translate into being the one they let in on the latest “pranks” they’ve pulled, like putting laxatives into another teammate's smoothie. They also loved talking shit behind each others’ backs, mostly about how they wished someone else would get injured so they wouldn’t have to put up with them at practice.
Due to the countless lineup changes, I was always prepared for another member's departure. This time I was caught off-guard, though.
I didn't know I would turn out to be the one leaving.
