"Hello Zaf"
"Hey mate"
"You have had your hair cut haven't you" Zaf stroked his hair.
"Isn't it great" Adam looked slightly jealous. But he had a new pair of shoes. That he loved. So shiny. He couldn't take his eyes of them. Adam picked up a stick and waited for Zaf to turn round. Before hitting him with it. "Oi" Zaf giggled. He picked up some leaves and threw them at Adam. Adam spun around with his eyes closed. Not knowing where he was going. Until something stopped him in his tracks. "See me in my office. At the end young man" Adam was used to that sentence.
He walked with Zaf to his first class. Science. He enjoyed the experiments. The test tube was sat on the table. Purple liquid, that he didn't know the name of as he wasn't listening, was in a pipette ready to be added to the highly toxic liquid already in the test tube. Adam put his safety goggles on and put the liquid into the tube. "I wonder what would happen if I put more in"……… "End of lesson young man"
Walking down the corridor he saw a poster that said:
'Players wanted. Boys for netball team. See Miss Kenton'
Adam smiled he enjoyed sport. He wanted to try something other than football. Wandering to the department he imagined the crowds cheering him on. "Hello I was looking at the poster for the netball team" He looked around and saw lots of equipment. "Right. Ok join that team over there. Show me what you can do" The young woman said who was far too pretty to be a Physical Education teacher.
He pranced about and caught the ball. No bouncing but lots of shouting. By the end of the trial, Adam was exhausted. "Mr Carter come back tomorrow and we will give you the kit"
"Yes Miss Kenton" Adam jogged out of the school. He caught up with Zaf. "Where the hell have you been?"
"Well tryouts"
"Great did you get in?"
"Yes I did" He said proudly.
The day had passed. Adam had told his parents he would be home late as he was training. He waltzed in and was handed his kit. He went to get changed……he then emerged from the changing room one minute later with a skirt in his hands "Im not wearing this! It's a skirt"
"It's a skort. Im afraid that's the uniform" Adam sighed. Oh well if that's what he had to wear that's what he had to wear. In the hall he joined what seemed to be all girls. But one boy who was playing netball teamed up with Adam. His name was Vincent. "Hey don't worry you get used to the skirt after a while" Said whilst doing a stupid dance.
Adam caught the ball from Vincent. He ran and passed to Veronica who then passed to him again as he made his way up to the hoop. He took a shot. His heart was beating so fast. The shot seemed to take forever to reach the hoop. It curved over. Stopped and fell through the hoop. The girls screamed. Vincent and Adam cheered. And with only seconds left in the game he scored the winning shot. Zaf walked by the hall. He looked in through the window. He saw all the frills. He was always looking at the girls. But then he saw a boy. He recognised "Oh my god!" He shouted. Adam stopped and ran in the other direction.
