House Of Softball
Chapter 1
The Red Softball Team
I don't own House Of Anubis I only own the things that dont sound familiar, and the plot of course.
"Will all girls on the red softball team please report to the gymnasium?" Everyone looked around the room. The house of Anubis kids thought they had nothing to worry about. No one played softball in their house. At least thats what they thought until Mara and Nina stood up slinging sports bags over their shoulders. Everyone looked at eachother confused the two who wanted nothing to do with sports are on a sport team?
"Come on Nina we have to hurry we'll be late and you know how agravated Coach Winkler gets." Mara said to Nina as she struggled to grab her small bag of clothes out of her cramped locker.
"And you know how Jason hates being called coach Winkler its just Jason Mara." She said shutting her locker as they both jogged towards the gym. They met up with their friends Marissa, the 1st basemen, and Lynn, the Right fielder, they had been close during the try outs helping eachother if the struggled. Nina was their starting pitcher and Mara was their starting catcher. They all gathered on the ground after changing in the locker room. Jason entered the gym a few minutes later.
"Hello red team." They all cheered. Jason laughed silently. "So you know this year will be hard now that your juniors. The girls will pitch faster. Run harder. Field tougher and hit stronger. You understand?" They nodded. "But we wont let that happen cause we wont let that happen. We will practice for 3 hours after school and 1 hour before a game. you will be living in the House Of Red." Mara and Nina looked at eachother wide eyes. No house of anubis for a whole season. "Lets get to work though. Starters take your possions. Nina, pitcher mound. Mara, catcher. Marria,1st. Gina,2nd. Jane,SS. Danielle,3rd. Lynn,Right. Allie, Center. Jocelyn, Left." After 3 hours of horrible practice they all stumboled to the bleachers. They were exhausted. Nina and Mara both finished their waters in under a minute. "So you'll go back to your own houses for dinner and to pack then you will report right to House Of Red." Everyone nodded and packed up their softball bags. Marrisa and Lynn walked with Nina and Mara until Nina and Mara finally had to leave the school. Mariaa and Lynn's boyfriends were coming to pick them up.
"See ya!" Nina called out to them as the entered the freezing weather. Nina reached into her bag and pulled out her sweatshirt as did Mara. "No more Anubis for a whole softball season?" Nina looked at Mara in disbelif.
"I cant believe it either. i mean I'm gonna miss Alfie and Jerome's pranks." Mara said as she got out her own sweatshirt.
"Amber's constant annoying obbession with fashion." Nina said zipping it up and instantly feeling warmer.
"And even Patricia's annoying grumbling." Mara said shifting her bag of clothes higher onto her shoulder. They were told to leave their softball bags at the gym and they would be brought to the house. They walked up the steps to House Of Anubis to se eveyone at the table. They ran up the stairs and packed their bags. Nina left the locket on Amber's bed side table. She grabbed 4 sets of pjs. all of her softball shorts and shirts and 5 of her school uniforms. She grabbed her pillow an old blanket, her favorite stuffed animal that was ripped apart by age. A pricless bunny she couldnt bear to loose and Nina didnt know what would happen to it when she left. She grabgbed 3 pictures a picture of her with her gran, a picture of her and the whole Anubis gang and a picture of her and Fabian. She stuffed it all into two bags before grabbing all her toiletteries. She didnt want to leave this whole house for a whole softball season. Before she went to Mara and Patricia's room she grabbed her book bag,cell and ipod turned off the light,closed the door and never looked back.
Mara was having the same problems. She packed the same amount of everything as Nina and grabbed her favorite stuffed animal a brey bear that, when she was younger, had been left out in the rain to many times. She grabbed 2 pictures one of her with her family and one with whole house of anubis gang. The one taken AFTER Joy had left. She went and grabbed her tolettieres from the bathroom. She grabbed her bookbag just as Nina walked in. she graqbbed her cell and ipod and walked out the door. "You ready, Nina?" She asked. Nina nodded and walked down the stairs. Everyone was messing around with their salads not even noticing they werent there. They sat down in their original seats but for once they started talking across the table to each other. Finally Alfie noticed they were there.
"Hey look who finally diecided to join us." They noth laughed it was strained though.
"Um Mara and I found out today that this is the last time were going to be in the house. Were moving into House Of Red." They all nodded now quiet. "Speaking of which Mara we gottta go. We promised Marissa and Lynn we would stop by House of Artemis" Mara nodded and they both stood up. Trudy came out and hugged them. They turned to face their friends. They nodded at each other then ssaid at the same time.
"We expect top see you all at our home games." They smiled and quickly got out of the house before they could start crying.
"Atleast we have one reminder of House Of Anubis." Mara said quietly across the dark grounds.
"What's that?" Nina asked in a hushed whisper.
"Eachother." they said hugging eachother and finally letting a singal tear fall. Cause they remember from watching the movie a league of their own. Softball players dont cry.
