•PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT•

I don't trust him........ But I DO want to make the team......... I don't know what to do!

Hmmmm...........

I got it! I'll have Wesley cover me too!

"Ok, fine! I'll go to practice, but I swear....... If you rat me out, then I will have to kick your fucking ass! So watch your back!" I say confidently, turning away from Drew, and towards a sleeping Wesley.

I punch him on the arm, so that he wakes up. "Dude! What was that for!?" He asks rubbing his arm.

"I need you to make sure that Drew doesn't tell that guy that I left for basketball tryouts." I explain pointing to the guy whose supposed to be supervising us.

"Why me!?" Wesley asks confused.

"Umm... Look around the classroom, and tell me who I could trust besides you?" I exclaim.

He scans the room, and then, he just stares at me and shrugs his shoulders.

"See?" I tell him with the sweetest smile that I have on my face.

"Fine! But what if he wakes up and notices that you're gone?"

"You tell him that I used the bathroom!" I explai like it's obvious.

"Well, what happens if he starts questioning why you've been in the bathroom so long?"

Hmm.... Didn't think of that!?

Oh! I know what I'll do!

"Take this!" I say handing him a small pics of paper with my phone number on it.

"Just call me, k?" Just as I finish that sentence, I smile and run out of the room.

I have to run, if I want to make it for the end of tryouts. I wish that I would've left earlier!

When I get to the locker room, I drop my bag and quickly change into some basketball shorts, and my Jordans.

"Hey!!" I shout running into the gym, trying to gets Coach Charter's attention, she's the girls' basketball coach.

"Why are you so late?" She asks looking my way.

"I..... Uh... Had something to do." I say smiling, trying to make it so that it's not obvious that I'm lying....... I'm a terrible lier by the way!

"Ok, well, I'm glad that you're here!! I was worried that you weren't going to try out for basketball this year!" Coach Charter says excitedly.

"But....... Since you're late, you have to do four sets of sixteens."

Sixteens are kind of like suicides, except, instead of doing it vertically down the court, it's horizontal. It's like the pacer that we do in gym class, except we have to do it sixteen times.

I groan, and get to the starting point. One of the basketball managers comes up to me with a stopwatch. That's when I notice who he is.......

"Keaton? Are you supposed to be a basketball manager?" I ask puzzled. I don't want him to watch me play basketball! But I do know that I can easily beat him in a scrimmage! I'm surprised that I didn't see him leave the detention hall.......

"Yup! Now, let's see whatcha got smalls!" He exclaims putting his finger on the start button.

Only Coach Charter can call me Smalls! I don't understand why he thinks he can call me that!

I push all that aside, and start my sixteens! This is gonna be a while!
----------------------------------------------------

Practice just ended, I'm pretty confident that I made the team again! Hopefully varsity, if I do make it on varsity again, then I will have a five year varsity streak!

I walk into the locker room, and change back into my clothes, so that I don't get caught. I take my pony tail out, so that I look the same as when I left.

As I walk out of the locker room, I see Keaton there waiting for me. When I approach him, my phone starts to ring.

It's an unknown number, but I have a feeling that I know who it is!

"Hey! What's up?" I ask answering the phone, and dragging Keaton by the arm to the stairs.

"You should probably come like NOW!!" Wesley yells over the phone.

"Ok, I'm coming! Calm your tits!" I say sarcastically, yet like I meant it.

I hang up the phone and start running down the hall. You can let go of me now!" Keaton says jogging behind me.

"Sorry! I just don't want us to get in serious trouble! Come on!" I exclaim pulling one more time, then I let go of him, and he starts running down the hall. I have to sprint to catch up to him!

When we get to the detention hall door, I hear yelling.........

Uh-oh!!
