Chapter 1
After the Cullen's left me I was a mindless zombie for months. But I awakened when Charlie tried to send me to Jacksonville. I had to stay here incase they ever came back. One night I started watching football with Charlie. I had never really watched it before and it turned out that I loved it.
And I decided I would try out for the team. Only because it would keep my mind off of everything. I can just ram people and stuff. Today I was going to try out. I am 17 years old. My name is Isabella Marie Swan. I am a girl trying football.
Soon I was at Forks High School getting out of my old red truck. I walked over to the football coach. I poked him and he looked down at me. "Coach, I would like to try out." I said. He laughed and I narrowed my eyes at him. "You would like to try out? Who is playing a joke on me? Am I on tape?" He asked. I felt like shoving a tape up his butt. "No, Coach. I would like to try out." I said again. "Isabella you are a twig. You wouldn't be able to be out there and not get hurt. And you're a girl this is a boys team." He said. He was right about me being a twig. I don't eat much anymore. Maybe one meal a day or less. I don't care whether I live nor die.
"Please call me Bella. And excuse me sir but I have the right to try out if I wish. And there is not a girls team." I said. He sighed and looked at his watch. "Alright." He said. Then he walked off to set up a little course for me. He had Devin, Connor, Danny, and Nick on the field. Nick was my partner. I had to throw the ball as far as I could too Nick to get a touch down. And I am very good at football. I know I am a klutz but for some reason I am usually graceful in football.
I threw the ball to Nick perfectly. I could tell everyone was impressed. He tested me for everything else. My catching and running skills. "So..?" I asked the coach at the end. "Alright, you may join. But no special treatment alright?" He said. I nodded, eagerly. "Ok. Follow me." He said.
I walked with him into the boys locker room. He handed me a Spartans football helmet, the padding, cleats, and pants. "Is number 17 for a jersey alright?" He asked. I nodded. I was about to grab it but he didn't give it to me. "Bella you were do have potential. Every member of the team has their name on the back. Yours is Swan? Correct?" He asked. I nodded and he left for a moment to put the name on it. I waited in the locker room until he came out about 10 minutes later.
He handed me it and I smiled. The first real smile I have had in a while. "Thank You." I said, happily. "No problem, kid." Coach said. "See you tomorrow for practice." He said and left. I walked out with all my gear. Yes! I made it! Now was the telling Charlie part. I gulped. I started the rusty engine and drove my ancient truck home.

What did you think? I think this story shows that girls can do anything guys can do! I mean at my school there is only a boys football team. And it kind of pisses me off. We should be able to join football if we want! Thanks.
PLEASE REVIEW.
Love, Vanessa
