The past days have gone by fast and I'm finally getting the hang of all my classes. It's barely Thursday and I'm so sore. We started basketball practice on Tuesday and tryouts were yesterday. I went all out at tryouts. At first I was worried because there was a lot of good girls, but then I gained more confidence and actually did pretty good. The coach would tell us today in ninth period who was in what team.

I head to the front of the gym waiting for Valeria. I see her walk hand in hand with Nash. They are honestly so cute. They kiss goodbye and she waves.

"Ready?" She asks. I nod.

Valeria and me really got along. She was also a junior and she was a varsity cheerleader. But she wasn't one of those stuck up bitchy cheerleaders. She was actually pretty cute.

We walk in and quickly change into our practice clothes. Valeria changes into her tights and cheer shirt. I change into my basketball practice clothes and we head out. Valeria leaves with her coach and I sit on the bleachers with the other basketball girls. Shelsey sits next to me.

"Hey" I say

"Hey," she looks down, "you nervous?"

"Yeah. I really hope we make it" i say smiling.

"Me too"

The coach walks in with a clipboard in her hand.

"Okay ladies, as you know basketball tryouts were yesterday. The other two coaches and I finally decided who was going to be in which team."

She starts to read the freshman list. Then she reads the JV list. I sigh when I don't hear Shelsey or my name.

"Now the varsity list. Keep in mind that it doesn't matter what team you are in. Everybody did the bests they could. The varsity girls are the following: Amanda, Danna, Katie, Shelsey," I look at her and give her a thumbs up, "Esmer, Nicole, Hanna, Maria, Anna, Jozannah, and Jeselle. Congratulations ladies, now that that's settled go and start stretching. We have running today." She walks away and we start to stretch.

I let out a big sigh I was holding in. I was worried for nothing. I laugh to myself and head outside with the rest of the girls.
