I'm so sorry. I haven't logged on in months. To show that I am sorry, here is a new chapter. I hope you enjoy.
After school, I immediately went to the girl's locker room and changed into my bookball gear. All the other girls that were in there keep staring at me and whispering to each other, but I didn't care. I should be used to it by now.
…
"Wow Apple. You're ran a whole two miles in less than eight minutes," Briar told me as I finished my eighth lap around the bookball field. It was hard but I managed to do it. I couldn't respond to Briar right away. I sat on the ground and Raven brought me a bottled water and rubbed my back with a towel until i slowed my breathing. Sweat was all along my forehead and my back. My t-shirt was stuck to my skin. I poured some of the water down my back. It felt refreshing.
"That...felt...exhilarating," I finally replied. "Really?" Briar looked at me with one eyebrow up. "Yesterday you wanted to quit within your first lap," "Well thing change. Now I am for sure not quitting," I said. Briar laughed then began to speak again. "Two more minutes of break time then we're gonna start working on your defensive skills. Are you ready Apple?"
I wiped my forehead with my sleeve, stood up then replied, "I'm ready for anything."
Friday
For yesterday's practice, I worked till curfew. I've never felt so sore in my life. But it was all worth it. Today is the day that I am going to make the bookball team.
"Are you ready to Rock N Roll?" Raven yelled as she was getting ready for school. "Yeah," I replied. But I wasn't so confident. I guess Raven knew that I wasn't feeling confident because she came up to me and gave me a hard friendly punch. "Ow," I said. "Sorry. I forgot you were sore," she replied. "You got this Apple!"
During the day, everyone was doing the same thing as yesterday. Looking at me, whispering about me and pointing at me. The only people who actually talked to me like nothing was going on were Briar, Raven and Ashlynn.
The entire time during eighth period I couldn't wait for the final bell to ring. I was rapidly shaking my legs and tapping my desk. I immediately jumped out of my seat and zoomed to the locker room when the bell rang.
Briar, Raven and Ashlynn waited outside of the locker room for me while I was changing. I came out with only five minutes left to get to the bookball field. As we passed by some students, they all had wide eyes and were probably thinking "She's really going to do this,"
I wasn't excited about walking through the main hallway. You have to go through it in order to get to the bookball field.
As we were about to enter the main hallway, I stopped and began to breathe fast. The girls noticed I stopped and quickly came back to help me. Briar grabbed me by the shoulders and looked me dead in the eyes. "You can do this," she said "You got this," Raven said. "You've worked so hard," Ashlynn added. I smiled and clenched my fist. "Let's go," I said.
The four of us began walking down the hallway and everyone leaned against the wall and lockers, making a path for us to walk through. I kept my eyes focused on the bookball field. I didn't want to make eye contact with anyone, although I could see them out of the corner of my eye.
Just before we were about to exit the school, I heard a voice call my name, a girl's voice. I turned around and saw Holly O'Hair, the oldest twin daughter of Rapunzel. She was standing in the middle of the hallway with her hands cupped around her mouth. "Good luck at tryouts!" she yelled. She was later joined by her twin sister Poppy who yelled "Hope you make the team!" I stopped and turned around. An uproar of cheering filled the hallway and everyone ran to the center where Holly and Poppy were standing.
I couldn't believe my ears. They were cheering me on. They want me to make the bookball team. Tears were starting to form in my eyes but I did my best to hold them back. "Thank you everyone!" I yelled and waved as we exited the hallway.
Thank you for reading this chapter! Again I am very sorry for the late update. I will do my best to logg on more and update more!
