"H-hey, wait just a minute!" I sputtered again at his retreating back.

The man, Jessie Ford, continued to stroll away until he vanished from my sight into the parking lot that was overflowing with parents of all shapes and sizes.

I stood there forlornly, my mind darting every which way. What did he mean by "You're gonna need a new coach?" What's wrong with Coach Hawthorne? She looks perfectly fine to me....

"I have no idea what just happened...but that guy was so HOT!" a girlish voice squealed.

I winced and turned around slowly, clenching the business card in my sweaty palm. It was Irene Symthe, most likely the most annoying, boy-crazy, bizarre, ridiculous, dumb, loud, obnoxious....well, you get the point, I'm sure. The fact is,besisdes being the worst player on the team, she'd been pestering me as long as I could remember. From pre-kindergarten to our Senior year, I swear, she had been in every single one of my classes. I mean, sure, we live in a small hick-town and all, but really, God, every single class? Even the sight of her dyed blonde hair and her too tight clothes irked me. Try as I might to avoid her, Irene always found a way to target me out; today was apparently no different.

Baring my teeth into a tight grin, I tried to be as polite as possible," Hello Irene, do you need anything?'

My mom always told me to be nice to those less fortunate and I applied this rule to those below me in the intelligence.

Naturally, Irene had a one track mind,"Who....was...THAT?!"

She started shrieking again and combined it with fanning her reddening face and jumping up and down. Other people were starting to give me looks like,"Gosh, control your friend, why don't you?" Hey, it's not my fault the girl has issues, I tried to silently reply. Fortunately for their peace and my reputation, I knew how to deal with Irene.

"Would you shush, please!" I hissed, grabbing her shoulder with my free hand. After shaking her a couple times, I pulled her over to a bench,andplunked her down on it's grainy surface.

'Well, did you come over here to tell me some strange man was hot or did you actually have something important to tell me?"

She gave what she thought was a dazzling smile and a cheeky wink,"Alright, I see how it is. A secret boy that your parents won't let you date? Ok, it'll be just between us."

Of all the exasperating things to endure.....I quelled her smile with a fierce, dark look.

Getting the message, her eyes widened,"Oh right...so, you know Coach Hawthorne?"

She recieved a warning look and a low,"...Irene, I don't need an introduction."

"Ok, well,anyway, guess what! She's out for the season!"

"Irene Symthe, thats IMPOSSIBLE, we just started!"

"No really, we need a new coach, she's telling the board on Monday!"

"And telling them what, exactly?"

Irene's blue eyes sparkled with excitement as she took a deep breath....

"That she's going to have a baby, isn't that wonderful?!"
