"Hi, my name is Hannah." I stood there awkwardly, shaking the hand of my new summer softball coach. I have played for the same team, with the same people, since tee-ball. But now my mother decided it was time to branch off to other teams. So I sucked it up, and after A LOT of convincing, I went to some field pickup thing that was supposed to help me get out of my shell. 

I showed up, in the dead of summer; wearing my teenage mutant ninja turtle shirt, jeans, and my favorite pair of DC high tops. I weird combo to wear in the summer, but I was with my grandparents that day and my grandpa thought that a ride on the motorcycle would calm my nerves. (Motorcycle rides were our thing together) But as most people know, you should wear pants while riding motorcycles. And so I did. 

So there I was, alone with people I had never met other than my previously mentioned coach and his daughter. Corie, I think. What an odd name for a girl. And just what I need. Another bitchy, stuck up, coaches daughter, who happened to pitch. I was not going to get along with her. But because I didn't know anyone, I was forced to follow her around like a lost puppy. She probably thought I was pathetic. As soon as we were done I called my grandpa to let him know that I was ready to be picked up. I stood there, looking at my phone, waiting and waiting. Next thing I know Corie is walking over to me. She is trying to include me, but I just wanted to leave. Once I my grandpa finally showed up, I was relieved. If this is how the rest of the season is going to be like, I don't know what I am going to do.
