The deciding shot

Chapter 3

It was the beginning of freshmen year. I knew I wanted to try out for varsity. I just doubted that if make it.

As I walked through the doors of the gym I saw a sign that read 'Basketball Tryouts? Sign Up Here!!!!' and a piece of paper and a person sitting at the disk.

I was nervous as hell. I was only 14!!! So I walked up and put my name. My favourite number and what position I wanted.

The person looked at me. She started to speak.

"You know, this is a team for tall people." Implying I'm not good enough or tall enough for the team.

I shot her a glance. She gave me the flyer and I left.

'Damn these high school girls. They think they know better.' I thought to myself. As I walked out of the gym I saw the time of the tryouts. It was at 7:30pm until 10:00pm. 'Shit' I thought to myself.

That was the time I was supposed to visit grandpa.
