Bailey's Diary

Chapter 5

        Dear diary,

Weeks later, our training for our various sport teams began. I and Matilda never missed one despite the pressure from Arianna and our busy schedule.

Arianna was a tall, beautiful but arrogant girl; she never agreed for once that I was right even when I shoot the ball into the net. She says "That's not how it's been done, it went into by luck. What if you go for international competition or even school competition and use this style and loose?" She often says. To be truthful, all those words meant nothing to me, style or no style. As long as it enters into the net we will still be called the winning team. I had to be devoted to what I chose to do, so no need.

*****Ding! Dong!!*****

The bell rang and I went to open the door. "Hello Matie!" I said "Hi" Matilda replied.

"Oh, so it's time for practice?" I said running inside to wear my sport wear. I then ran down. "Five minutes please" I said to Matilda looking and searching everywhere for my basket ball and my phone. I finally found them. "Hey mom I am out!" I shouted on top of my voice. "Good luck bae" she said to me. We both reached the school for practice and I and Matilda went our separates ways to the sport hall.

After practice today, we were told that the school competition is coming up very soon between the two basket ball teams that we had in the school named "The Legend team and the Fire-fox team". Each team was divided into two –Boys group and girls group.

"Bailey, yesterday was Friday and also a club day right??" Matilda asked me on our way home. "Yes I know why asking?" I asked her being amused."Okay, I think I know the reason why you joined jet club yesterday, I do know the reason" she said like an Angel who knew people's heart. "Okay, what's the reason?" I asked her. "It's because of Zack!" she said "No, not all. It's not true" I said to her.

Zack is the best basketball player in the boys group in legend team. Matilda was right I joined jet club yesterday because of him, my own club is the choir club. I really have a strong crush on him. But I don't want to admit it to Matilda. Zack is dark, you can say a black American...., so is Matilda. His tall and very handsome.....like, I really admire him so much.

"Okay Matie, why do you look jealous whenever Rick is talking to Katherine?" I asked her to make her forget the reply to her question. "That's not true!" Matilda shouted out. I could not hold myself but laugh. "You know we are best of friends, so you can tell me anything" I said to her. "You should know that too" she replied.

"Okay, am crushing on Zack" I sincerely confessed. "Am having a crush on Rick" she admitted too.

Rick is the most brilliant guy in the whole grade 9. Am sure that's why Matilda is crushing on him.

"Um! What else can we do?" I asked. "Nothing!" she replied.

We reached our separate houses and I entered inside and mom was in her bedroom sleeping. All because is Saturday. I quickly shower because the practice today was too tough. I snacked a little and went to sleep.

I woke up by 7:15pm and met mom in the living room. And I sat down. "Hey mom, good evening" I greeted. "Hi bae, so what's up? How was practice?" Mom asked. "Fine mom, but there's a "But" I said. "A but?" mom asked. "Yes! It's the so called Arianna, the girl I told you about some days ago. She's my obstacle in that team" I said to mom. "I know, you just have to over look and ignore her. Have you not heard that the best answer for a fool is silence? And I know you are a classy girl. Classy girls choose to be quite even when they have a lot to say in the midst of fools?" Mom asked.
