The Lions

In gym today the coach made us play floor hockey which stunk because I have this weird disease called laziness and it really kicks in during gym. Well anyways, I almost scored a goal but felisha furrypaws tripped me. So yeah....

~Outdoor recess~

In recess all sports captains were picking their teams. I walked over to the softball section. There were two teams. The Pink sox (felisha's team) and there was the Lions. I of course went over to the lions and showed them what I could do. Wait a minute! I've never played softball! One girl throws me a bat and the other throws me a softball. "Okay, what you have to do is hit that ball on the target." The captain pointed to a cage fence with a bullseye target on it. I nod and get in an athletic position. I throw the ball in the air and swing when the ball is aligned with my chest. I look around and expect everyone to be clapping or something. Nobody's clapping. They just stare at me. I look at the target and then downwards, by my feet. The softball lays there showing proof that I didn't hit the target. I totally missed. "Well, do it again!" The coach yells at me. I pick up the ball and do the same thing, miss. I miss again. And again. And again. And again. My arms feels like there going to fall off. They tell me to leave so another player can try. That was a bust. I'm not even going to make it to try outs. At the end of recess, the coach posts the list on the concession stand wall. This list will tell me if I made it to try outs or not. As I look over the list I realize that there aren't that many girls on the sheet. I trail my finger through the names until I find mine. Yes!!! I made it!!!
