Out Of The Ballpark

Chapter 10

​All day I was thinking about tryouts. They were coming up soon, right after 8th period, so I got to miss Spanish. All through French, I was thinking about what could happen if I messed up. Would I not make the team? Would I make it cause I'm the best? I sit next to Peter in French, thank goodness, so he noticed I wasn't paying attention.

"I'm going to skip 9th period to watch the tryouts." Peter told me.

"No you can't do that. You'll make me more nervous than I already am. And don't you have a dance test?" I asked.

"Yeah but I can skip it."

"no you can't. It's the last third stem grade."

"well I guess that makes sense. Okay I won't come, I'll take my test."

​Before you say anything, yes my lacrosse playing boyfriend takes dance. He's better than the girls. He's like the me of dance. The best, and on the highest level. I would never let him miss a performance or test, but I did want him to come to tryouts. Finally it came to 9th period, I couldn't contain my excitement. Jill, Morgan, Aylin, N'Kaya and Hanna and I met up in the girls locker room before we went on the field.

"Where's Tay? And Gabii? And.... SKIE!!!! Where's Skie!" I asked frantically.

"Calm down Dana. Tay and Gabii aren't trying out. And Skie has that dance test." explained Aylin.

"why aren't they trying out?" asked Jill.

"Well Tay is too busy with the play and Soccer. Gabii isn't into softball anymore. And Skie can't miss her dance test, you should know that Dana." said N'Kaya.

​Okay so my bestfriend wasn't playing softball with me, great.
