Chapter Two

"One new email!" my computer exploded.

"Jeeze, no need to yell." I muttered pulling a brush through my wet hair. I'd just finihed a three mile run with Ray. We'd had gun and had sprinted quite a lot, being chased by a couple of dogs around the park.

'if anyone is wishing to tryout for the varsity volleyball team, please respond to this email. Tryouts will be held at two pm Monday.'

Shit!! That's today! I ran to my dresser and pulled out my white spandex shorts and pulled them on. I typed a responce.

'will be there.

-Claire'

They would probablly be thinking 'What the fuck? Fat girl on varsity? I don't think so!' well they were going to get a slap in the face. I grabbed my addidas gym bag and looked through it, finally finding my sportsbra. I pulle on a tight, light grey tshirt and slid my feet into my addidas slip onns.

'did you get the email?' Les texted me.

'yeah do u wan me to pik u up?' I snt back.

'sure! C u.'

'bie' I tossed the phone into my bag and dried my hair. I put on mascara and deo, then a spritz of perfume. I pulled my hair into a high ponytail and called Ray as I climbed into my car.

"Hello?"

"Hey."

"Oh, hey Claire. What's up?" he said.

"We have volleyball tryouts today."

"Woah, are you sure?"

"One hundred percent." I said, starting the car.

"Wow. You should be good though, right? Your not sore or anything, right?" wow. He's concerned. No, Claire. That's his job. He's your trainer, you hopless dummie!

"Im not sore, but I'm nervous!" I exclaimed. "Got a remedy?"

"Yeah. Deffinately." he smiled into the phone. "You threw down two hundred pounds, your quick as a cat, and you have the vertical to scare off other teams by yourself. You hve nothing to worry about."

"Thanks, Ray." I smiled, pulling into Les's drive way. "How was the dive, then?" I asked.

"What?"

"The bet?"

"Oh! It was...painful. But I gives you this awesome thrill." I laughed.

"Wait, which part - being naked or the drop?"

"The drop!!" he defended himself. I pressed the horn twice.

"Okay, well I forgot to ask you earlier. I'll see you tomorrow, then."

"Oh, uh, Claire?"

"Yeah?" my heart lept.

"Uh, good luck." my heart hopped and sank again.

"Thanks. Bye."

"Bye." we both hung up as Les slammed the door shut.

"Drive." she ordered.

"Whats up?" I asked.

"Mom and dad are fighting. Just get me out of here. I need to go show some people how to play my sport. I smiled, imagining the look on her face hen she saw me play. I was told by the trainers - not just Ray and his dad - thant I was good enough to play any position on a varstiy court. I had the thirty two point three inch vertical. Hers was only about twenty five. We pulled into the high school parking lot and I parked the car in the front row next to the gym doors. We both got out and I tucked my keys into my gym bag, and we walked in togeather. Girls were paired up, warming up their arms.
