Bailey's Diary

Chapter 6

Dear diary,

Today at school, I did everything possible to make Zack know that a girl like me exists. But he cared-less, he was just moving freely around.

Today, we went for basket ball practice for our forth coming competition. Sometimes, when you pipe at the fire-fox practice, the way they are serious with their practice; you would lose the hope of winning on the D-day. Today, the girls did their practice separate from the boys. And guess what? I was playing rubbish all because of the thoughts of Zack. I really received insults from Arianna, but according to mom; the best answer for a fool is silence. When we closed, I saw Zack coming out of the boys sport hall and I ran to his way and I made myself fall down so he could notice me. Then he said "Try to be more careful, you don't run on tiles" He said and continued pressing his phone as he walked. I was greatly disappointed. I expected him to hold me up, and then he ask me my name and we get to know each other. But you know what? The opposite happened. Grade 10 boys are so hard to be friends with.

After weeks and weeks of practicing, my coach got tired of the rubbish I was playing and advised me to focus. The next day was the competition for basket ball and soccer. We were told to come early on the Saturday morning to practice before the competition commence.

So, I finished dressing up and I went to meet Matilda and we left together. The venue was set. Mom had promised to come later; she didn't tell me anything order than that. I really pray that my teams win the basket ball and Matilda's team win for soccer.

Coach blew the whistle and the practice started. I was still playing rubbish. So Arianna advised our coach to drop me from the girl's basket ball team and our coach did. For me, I think that Arianna is controlling our coach. They replaced me with a girl named Mary who had a twin sister called Martha. Martha was in the girl's soccer while Mary was in the girl's basket ball. Both sport teams are playing today...so I wonder what their parents are going to do. Maybe the mom while watch one play and dad watch another play.

So, back to what I was, I was replaced so I went to seat down angrily and I thought about mom who was going to be upset with me if I didn't play.

Competition was about to start so the boys legend basket ball team came out to pray with the girls. I saw Zack I was about to melt down. All the judges were already settled down and the sport hall was all filled and I just sat down lonely there.

"The game will start in 1, 2, 4,...go..." the starter announced. I sat down and watched as they played and then I saw cheerleaders who began cheering them up and they were doing very good. The Fire Fox boy's teams were getting tougher and then Zack bounced the ball to the net side and jumped up and the ball entered the net. I was happy, very happy. The Legend fans were jumping up and shouting "Go legends!" I looked up if mom had arrived but I didn't see anyone like her. A boy named Henry from Fire Fox team shot the ball inside the net twice and they scored two while legend boys scored only one. It was remaining 20 second for the game to be over. "Oh no, Fire Fox are gonna win!" the Legend girls groaned. But I didn't give up because we are always the best and also the best basket ball player was there...that's Zack.

10 second remaining!" The judges announced. A boy named Dave in the legend team went over and put the ball in the net while Zack came again and shot it in. "Game over!" One the judges shouted. "WOW!" our team shouted because we scored "2" goals in our last seconds. The legend boy's team scored "3" while the Fire Fox team scored "2". Some of the girls from our team went to go hug the guys as they came out of the court. But I didn't have the guts to do that. Moreover, I was still angry I was replaced.
