Dunk

Chapter 1

        "Cindy!,

          Cindy!,
       

           Cindy!.
        
            ..."
The crowd is constantly chanting my name.
     

    
I took a stance...

Bounced the ball...

I made way to the basket...

This is it, I leapt ready to drop the ball in the basket...

" Lucinda, Lucinda, Lucinda!!? "a voice called

" OUCH! "I felt pain. I opened my eyes. I was on the floor.

In my ROOM?!

A few seconds ago, I was about to become world's best teenage girl basketball player..... If that was a thing.

It was a freaking dream. I glared at the person standing before me. Her blue eyes resembled mine, brown hair.

I got up still glaring at her "mom! What gives!? " I sent daggers through my eyes.

“I didn't do anything, you rolled over your self " she gave me a sincere look.

" but you did disturb my sleep, it's six in the freaking morning. On a MONDAY "I know it's normal to be woken up early on a Monday because of school and all... BUT Cindy needs her beauty sleep.

" your dad is leaving, he has an early flight. I taught you'll like to see him off "she stated matter-of-factly. I forgot I was angry and bolted down stairs. Dad has only been here for two days, with constant trips out of the country because of his baseball career, I never get to spend time with him.

He just got back... LITERALLY!!!.

"good morning dad" he was in the living room getting ready to leave.
 
"hey kiddo" he said pulling me in to a tight hug.
 
"do you really have to go?" I asked and gave a puppy dog eyed look. "pwirti pweease" I tried to sound cute .
 
"Aw!,I'm sorry squirt" he said kissing the top of my head.
 
"can I at least come to the airport?" I asked in a hopeful tone.

"no, you have to get ready for school" school. Crud I forgot about school.
Just in time mom came down wearing blue jeans and a red turtle neck. Dad glanced at his watch and looked down at me.
 
"I have to go pumpkin" he said again giving me another tight hug.
 
"call me as soon as you get there! " I shouted after him as they walked outside waving good bye.
I stole a glance at the clock in our living room and it was seven thirty eight already.

I ran back upstair to my room to take the fastest shower ever and brush my teeth.

           After that I had sugar marshmallows cereal for breakfast because that's the only thing I could put together. Then I put on a pair of blue jeans, a hoodie, and converse. I hopped into my car and drove to school. I got to school just in time for the bell to jingle. I walked in to the school hall way, opened my locker and put and also took out some books from it.

"hey girl" my best friend said walking over to me as I close my locker.

"hi" I said hugging her, we both had first period free.

"why do you look so..."she trailed off stroking her chin like she was thinking of something "... down in the dumps".

"I'm not down" I protested

"yes you are" she said

"No I'm not"

"yes you are"

"okay, okay, I am," I sighed "it's just that dad left and I miss him like crazy, I just wish I can play basketball like him".

"Then do it" she smirked.

"What?!"

"yeah do it, join the school basket ball team or something" she said.

"but the school doesn't have one for girls" I folded my arm across my chest.

"Then make one" I looked at my crazy best friend who always says the first thing that came to her mind before her brain could register it.

"Darci, you're crazy" I said.

Suddenly, a ray of hope shined through.

I could make my own,

I can write a letter to the principal about it,

It was finally going to happen.

"Darci, you're a genius" I said hugging her.

"i know" she stated proudly.

We spent the rest of our free period talking about jerseys and such if I create a team. IF.

The next period was Maths. God I hate Maths. It's too darn hard.

And complicated.

Way, way, way too complicated.

I walked into the classroom and took a seat next to Josh (nerd) because he's really nice and he helps you out if you get called to answer a question and you don't know it he'll whisper it to you.

Our math teacher Mister Greene walked and wrote  'Simultaneous Equations' on the board.
   
I mentally sighed.

It was hard enough finding one unknown variable now we have to find two. GREAT.

After agonizing minutes of brainstorming the bell rang calling it a day for math.

Next off, history.
