Chapter 2
Molly used to be my best friend. Until she realized in 7 grade that I wasn't cool enough to hang out with her. She ditched me for the "popular" people. We got into a huge fight. She managed to get the whole grade onto her side. It was me all alone. I had no friends what so ever my 7 and 8 grade year.
The one thing I wanted most, was to be better than her in volleyball. I always wanted that but I didn't push hard enough. I tried to et better but nothing worked.
That was until late freshman year started.
As I explained earlier I got better with in half a year. Alot better. And frankly Molly didnt like that.
Molly made varsity freshman year. It was amazing everyone knew her after that. She bragged and boasted as much as she could to me. That was also another reason I wanted to be better at volleyball than her. That was my motivation during those hard months of solid training.
Well here's the catch.
Me making varsity, knocked her off the team. It was the best moment of my life. Hands down.
FLASHBACK TO TRYOUT RESULTS*
FOYER/LOBBY OF PERRY HIGHSCOOL
Me and Victoria and another 70 girls waited in the main entrance to our school. Perry highschool in ohio. It was just me and Victoria off to the side. Molly and her "crew" jade and Kat were swarmed by a bunch of girls also awaiting the news.
Me and Victoria were both so nervous. So we didnt talk much except for earlier, in the lobby we have been standing here for over and hour. It was me and hers plan to come extra early for school so we could see the results first thing. But I guess that was everybody else's plan as well.
"All of this hardwork you have worked for will come through I'm telling you. If you don't have a spot on that varsity team I'm personally marching up to that coach and telling him how hard you have worked for this!" Victoria assured me.
"Thanks victoria. I just wanted to say thank you for all that you have done for me. You have helped me so much I can't even tell you. You helped me improve." I really did mean all of it. Molly was bound to make the varsity team. She made jv last year and was the best on the team. She gave me all the pointers of the game. Before all of my tournaments for my travel team she talked to me like a coach would, words of encouragement.
We continued to talk alittle more, just small talk. But I constantly found myself zoning out and listening in to Molly's conversation.
The whole group of girls were talking about their results. Some f them claiming they didnt do good at tryouts some saying they were confident some giving their thoughts about the other players and who's gonna make each team.
".. Yeah that uhh, what's her name? Erin? Yeah yeah that's it" me I'm Erin." Yeah she got better, holy shit she slimmed down 60 pounds too I almost didnt recognize her at tryouts I was amazed when I saw her play, damn." I heard one of the girls say. I was flattered. I started having more confidence in the team I was gonna make.
But all of a sudden Molly chimms in " ha. Don't let her fool you she will be lucky if she actually makes a team this year. She Tried out for freshman last year and didnt even make it. So pathetic. Well I think I already have a guarrenteed spot on varsity. Some of the coaches came up to me after tryouts and assured me I might have a spot. But ha! Who is he kidding? Might? We all know that I'm gonna make it" Molly said triumphantly.
Yep that's Molly for ya. Just the usual self centered brat! She's so cocky. 'Wouldn't it be the best if I somehow made the team and took the last spot on the team cause I was the better player' ha who am I kidding unless Molly did absolutely horrible than there was no chance she didn't make varsity.
