Kai stared at his phone screen, causing him to squint at the bright light. The continuous message notifications from the Global Games group chat woke him up early.
He tapped on it reluctantly, already knowing what he'd see.
Jimmy: Deadline for the waiver is today. Make sure you sign it and send it in. No exceptions, or you're out.
Kai's fingers lingered over the screen as he scrolled up to the official email that had arrived earlier.
The bold header read: Global Games Waiver Submission: Last Day to Confirm Participation.
