You and I [Hariana]

Chapter one. "Congratulations"

I looked up to see the ball was coming towards me. I ran and jumped up to spike the ball down, hitting the opponents territory. "AND THE PANTHERS WIN!!!" The volleyball spokesman said.

My team jumped up in joy and they all ran over to me. They gave me hugs and lifted me into the air as the headmaster gave me the winning team trophy. Not only was it just a trophy, but it was the winning country trophy of Redditch, london.

My mom and older brother Taylor and I moved here from California, where I'm originally from. My dad usually wasn't with us, only because he was fighting in the army. I'm so proud of him.

My team set me down and I ran over to my mother and brother. They murdered me with hugs and kisses. "That was amazing!!" They cheered and I smiled. I noticed some professional people from the college I wanted to go to walk over to me.

Oh my gosh!!! "Hello Ms. Grande" they said. "Hi...."I replied nervously. "We saw that you filled out an application for us, and we'd like to consider having you" the owner of the college said.

Holy fuck!! No way!! "SERIOUSLY???!!!!" I screamed and they nodded. "Your grades are absolutely great and we'd like to have you play for us" he continued. I couldn't do anything but just smile widely.

Volleyball was my life and now I'm finally going to make it a career. "You start Monday on the 26th of January" he said to me and i nodded.

Ok cool, today was December 28th so I still had time to plan everything. "Thank you...thank you so much" I said shaking their hands and they nodded. They then walked away and I turned around to face my family. "AHHHHHHH!!!!" I screamed happily. They laughed and hugged me again.

"God, were so proud of you....and to prove it.... let's go throw you a congratulations party" my mother said. I smiled and told my team about the party. They said they'd all be there.

Great!! I walked out the building with my family as we rode in the car back home. God....I can't believe this is happening. One day, I'm going to become a professional volleyball player....and nothing....will get in the way of that.
