Doubts

Through Sarah's Eyes

I was so bored through 6th period. I kept myself awake by chewing on my lip. I couldn't wait till next class...Gym. I loved gym so much, even though all the other girls hated it.

You see I'm a tom boy. I grew up watching wrestling and playing in the mud while other girls watched Barbie princess and dressed as well as they could.

So as I was waiting for gym the teacher called on me "Ms.DiRaino would you please answer the last question "No" I said under my breath. I skimmed the question : What year did Christopher Columbus discover america?

I thought quickly "uhh..1492"  The teacher looked at me in a weird way "Very well"

The bell rang and I picked up my stuff and dashed to gym as fast as I could. I met Mr.Anderson in the door "Go in and change your clothes" he said gruffly.

I went into the change room and took off my pants. Then I dragged my shorts on. Then I took my shirt off and put my t-shirt on. I double-knotted my sneakers and ran out.

I sat down and waited for the other kids. Finally they all had assembled " Run 5 Laps" and Mr Anderson blew his whistle.

I was the fastest runner in my class so I finished the laps fairly quickly. After that we started stretching.

Today we were going to play basket-ball. When the principal walked in. She whispered something in Mr Anderson's ear.

Soon after a new kid walked in. He had black hair and looked normal. Maybe even kind of cute " This is Alex" The kid waved hi and walked in he changed room to change.

In 5 minutes he was up against the wall and was being picked by me. I had no idea why I did that, I didn't even know this kid.

About 15 minutes into the game Alex scored a two three pointer shots that put us in the lead. After 15 more minutes the bell ringed to go home. That was my first encounter with the new kid.
