(A/N)
It's been too long since I last uploaded and I'm sorry, I've just been very busy. I highly encourage you guys to read the A/N after reading the chapter to get a better reason. Also angst and trauma will be in this chapter. This chapter also goes very slow, time wise.
-Marinette's POV- (January and its a Sunday)
Ok so something just crossed my mind. This is my Junior year in high school and that I haven't really been playing any sports or been in any type of clubs that are related to the school. Apparently there are a few sports that are going to have tryouts next month. soccer is going to be having tryouts in two weeks, tennis is going to have tryouts in a month I think. Though I might be doing basketball since Juleka and Ivan are going to be playing, might as well just try to do something related to sports and be more social.
Since Ivan and Juleka are going to do some training this week, I told them I would think about it.
I went to go see my sister who was just in her room on her phone. "What's up baby sis?" Lila asked as she looked up at me. 'I wanted to ask you about me going into a sport," I said as I sat down next to her. "oh, what sport?" She asked, "I've been thinking of doing basketball because a few of my friends that are in basketball and I thought that maybe I should at least try to do something related to the school." I said. "I actually think that would be a good thing, since you do like to be active, not only that; but I remember when you use to play league basketball when you were younger." Lila said as she looked at me and smiled at me.
She's not wrong, I did actually play league basketball when I was younger. I also liked to do track. When I was in middle school I would always qualify to go to the track meets that the district would put together. When I had to go to the events my parents weren't really around to see. Usually my aunt Tomoe would take me and watch me, and so would Kagami and Lila. My parents weren't really involved with my sports as much as they would try to promise me that they would be. It did hurt and irritate me that they weren't around since they were usually busy with work, but at the same time even if I tried to say something they would just ignore my advice.
On my mom's side of the family I was usually the athlete. Lila was more of like the actress who could have a complete different personality in a few seconds. Kagami is honestly the nerd of the family, she usually gets A's and B's, I personally couldn't. Me and Kagami were born a few months apart, though I'm older. Lila's 2 years older than us, but she would still try to get us involved when we were with her and her friends when we were younger.
Lila tapped my shoulder and I looked at her. "If you want to play basketball then do it! Sure you might have forgotten a few things, but that's ok. Not only that but this is also going to help you with knowing more people." She said as she smiled and hugged me. I hugged her back and went to my room after.
I felt encouraged by my sister's words and I decided to fully commit to trying out for the basketball team. It's been years since I last played, but at the same time I'm very eager to get back into the sport. I grabbed my phone and texted Juleka and Ivan to let them know that I was in for the training sessions.
The next day I woke up feeling more determined and set of what I wanted to do. I went into my closet and found my old basketball shows and a jersey from when I was in youth league. As I was holding them I could feel a big wave of nostalgia wash over me. The memories of doing the drills and getting to shoot around with my teammates made me feel like as if I had a purpose in a way.
Though for right now I should really focus on getting ready for school since it was already 7 a.m.. As I got ready for school, my mind was buzzing with excitement and anticipation for the new challenge I had decided to take on. I couldn't help but think about the upcoming basketball tryouts and finding my passion for basketball.
