Chapter 8 - Girl Basketball Team
13 year old Meg Bowman woke up early and thought about another day of school. She now was in middle school and is in seventh grade. In her six grade year, she already gain popularity and again were labeled the coolest kid in school.
Some kids who were in an higher grade than her were in her elementary school is in her middle school and have already told their friends who were their friends about the coolest kid in elementary school coming there.
What's best is that Ryan and Perry is going to her school as well with a few other friends. After doing her morning chores, Meg went downstairs with a cool top-branded red and black jacket with the word *FEAR!* in all caps on the hoodie with black, white, purple, and brown going down, black and red pants that matched the clothing which had *FEAR* as well. The same applies to her cool red shoes which also had that.
"Goodbye mom, goodbye dad," Meg deduced as she went to her highly cool bike and gave both an hug. It warmed their hearts that Meg didn't try to completely force them away like other teens would in her age.
Meg went to the streets and petaled her bike to school. Her middle school was blocks away from her home unlike her elementary school which was not that far back in the day. Her bike drive pretty fast and especially with the practice of riding it practically everyday.
Meg pulled up to her middle school which RedHook Middle School. It was different than her old "RedBrook Elementary School" yet they're easily connected. Once Meg gotten there, she had seen both of her friends.
"Sup," she said as she pulled up giving them high fives in which they exchanged. Meg had locked her bike beside her friends but she don't think that would be necessary no more. Whenever someone beside her touch the bike like to steal it, it would automatically scanned them and an alarm would go off and take a picture of them.
"Yo, Meg, I signed up for the new tennis team," Ryan said.
"Wow, what make you do that?" Meg questioned.
Ryan shrugged but smiles. "I have been practicing tennis. Heard they also opened an Football Girl Basketball Team. You should sign up. They are running out of tickets fairly fast and by the end of this year there would be tournaments."
"Yeah," Perry added. "I did because it seems cool. Also, I heard this school won many tournament games and have a gold star. Yet I heard no one had gotten the golden ribbon for 10 years but the blonde or sliver ribbon is basically handed out every day."
Meg nodded as she went up to her locker and put her bag in and locked it. "Maybe I should give it an try," she responded. "But I don't want to feel like I'm special just because I win a silly tournament."
"Oh, come on, Meg," Perry insisted. "You have talent and none of us is getting any younger. Eventually, we shall reach adulthood and those opportunities will be gone. Text me at lunch and if you want to sign up, we would meet up after school."
Meg grinned yet nodded. Since they were in middle school, they have different classes in some periods and same classes in other. Unfortunately, Meg and Perry don't have no same class today like they do have tomorrow. Today is yellow day which meant 4-8 period. But they can see each other after school.
After school, Meg had her bookbag full of books. But she has two days to do them. Meg can finish them by tomorrow because she has more electives of tomorrow. She went up to the class with her friend and knocked on the door.
The door opened, and she had seen an woman who had an ball in her hand. "We would like to sign up for the Basketball team," Meg declared.
"Perfect timing," the strong woman said. "The list is about to close. Now, we need to test out your skills and since we're practicing try against other teams."
Meg were assembled with her friend and other girls. They were surprised when they saw the most coolest kid in school going for the team. Their friends told them that she was excellent at Basketball and would break ankles. They've heard that Meg had cool clothes and that was confirmed after she switched into cool clothes that were the real thing.
After the ball been thrown to her, Meg went around everybody who gotten into her way. They thought their friends were overexagerring yet Meg easily ran through them. She jumped and look like she was about to throw the ball to the hoop but yet she tossed it ominously to Perry who ran away from their practice members.
Tossing the ball to another team member who also tossed the ball to Meg who was closer to the hoop, Meg aimed the ball and went for a 3 shot. She threw it with much andrelaine and the ball landed inside of the hoop.
The teacher watched with surprise. Meg have clearly been doing this for so long. The enemy team had the ball now and ran down the court. Meg ran up and knocked the ball out of her hand and dodged and jumped to the hoop and landed a slump down.
She had seen good members before not like this before. Meg can make the mighty leader of the team. She ran around the group with ball bouncing up and down in her hand. Each of her partners were blocked, but that didn't stopped her as she ran around the opposite practice team and send the ball into the hoop.
Perry ran with Meg and tossed the ball to each other many times. The two obviously make an good team and is likely best friends since they did show up at the same time.
"Meg, pass!" Perry said. Meg threw the ball to the ground that went to her. She jumped and the ball left her hands and went into her hoop as she landed. The teacher never seen such teamwork because usually one would hog for the ball such as one for Meg's talents yet she is relying on her teammates.
"Now practice is over, you all may dress yourselves and go home." the teacher said walking over to the locker room.
Dressing themselves, they walked out and went into a separate direction beside Meg and Perry for a bit. Along on the way, Meg grabbed her raincoat that her parents place in her bookbag due to the news reporting giant rain today.
"Well see you later, P'," Meg deduced, embracing her friend as she went to her bike and begin driving home. People who walked the streets had umbrella but she had an cool raincoat that manage to cover her. Beside her cool glasses, a replacement to the glasses she had to wear when she was 5 years old.
Well, she did had an high paying family and that is why they have many things throughout the years. Her father would help her in fighting just in case whenever someone tries to kick her ass, although she never had to go into deep into it through school beside boxing classes. Her mother would teach her how to swim and how to cook.
Getting home, she made sure instantly take the raincoat off under the part of the roof so she doesn't wet the apartment. Pulling out her keys, she entered and went to the bathroom and put her solking raincoat into the tub.
"Meg," her mother said, going up to her. "I'm not sure if you are going to school tomorrow. It's raining super hard and the broadcast reported snow is an possibly and there's not way I want you to get sick by the snow."
