⚡️Asher's pov⚡️
I was really nervous about Monday, since basketball tryouts were being held. I had made the team in my old school, but who knew what competition I would have to face over here. I was so nervous. I practiced a lot the night before. I ended up playing basketball until 12 o'clock in the morning, when my mom finally couldn't take the noise anymore.

The day seemed to go by really fast. After last period, I changed into my p.e clothes and headed to the gym. A lot of guys were there practicing, and they were good.

I took a few deep breaths. The couch made us run around the gym. Then he made us shoot some hoops. Mine went in, except for the last one. I screwed it up.

What if I don't make the team. Mom and dad will be so disappointed. What if they send me back to my old school. What if those guys from my old school bully me even more when they find out I couldn't make the team? What if-
My thoughts were interrupted by the coach. He told me I would have to play one on one against another kid. The guy was extremely tall. He had to 6"2 at least. His muscles were huge and he had this fierce look on his face. He grinned at me, as if challenging me to beat him. "I need water." I mumbled, before running out of the gym. I ran and ran. I didn't even know where I was going. I stopped at a tree. I slid down and sat with my back against it. I took a few deep breaths, but they weren't coming out properly. Great.
I couldn't breathe at all. Everything around me was turning black, until someone made me drink water.
"Shh, Ash. It's gonna be ok. You're alright. Everything's fine." I realized who it was.
And for some reason, Annie's soothing voice helped a lot. Once I had calmed down a bit, she asked me what happened. I took a few deep breaths.
"It's stupid,really." I said.
"If it was stupid, you wouldn't be having a panic attack over it." She said.
"Okay, well today was basketball tryouts, and I was really nervous cause I didn't want to let my parents down. If I did they would send me back to my old school, where I was part of the team, and I can't go back there, Annie, I can't. The kids there, they bullied me. They beat me up. It was horrible Annie." I started crying. She hugged me. I felt like an idiot. She hugged me. I hugged her back, taking in her scent. It made me feel so peaceful.
"Asher, you're parents won't send you back. They know how bad that place was. So don't worry. They are your parents and they won't be mad at you if you don't make the basketball team." She reassured me.
"Thanks anniekins." I wiped away a tear.
She gave me one last hug. Oh how I wished we could stay like that forever. But of course I had to go back to the gym.
She went to her car and drive off. I took one last deep breath before heading off for the gym.
