Shes the Man

Chapter 1- The End of the Dream

Haley's POV

So me and my boyfriend Justin have been dating a little over a year now………… and I figured everything was great till something not so great happened.

When I woke up I was so excited, it was the first day of basketball! Finally! After hours and hours of training with Justin, it was finally time for us, the golden couple, to become captains of our high school basketball teams. We had been planning on this since we first started dating, everyone knew it was going to happen, he was going to become the captain of the boys' team and I was going to become the girls' captain. I like to say that it was a match made in heaven! (He even told me that I was better then most of the guys on his team! I of course then told him that I was better then ALL of the guys on his team)

Me and my best friend Katie, after school, were walking with a bunch of the other girls to our first basketball practice.

"Oh my gosh, Katie! It was so great! I didn't expect any of it first he took me to where we had our first date." I, of course was babbling like an idiot about the 'oh so sweet' boyfriend of mine, "And then—"

I had been cut off by my other best friend Julie coming up to me freaking out, "Haley, you are never going to believe this!"

"Wait, what happened?" I was getting a little freaked myself. I mean so far this whole day was great now….. I wasn't so sure.

"Look!" Julie shoved the piece of paper that was in her hands in mine. I read it and screamed, "This can not be happening! They can't just stop us from playing! This is unbelievable! We have to do something."

"Yeah, but Hales, there's not really anything we CAN do!" says Katie, who was of course the smart one of the group. 'If she can't come up with anything to do,' I thought to myself, 'Then there's probably not a lot…..' I trailed off in my head after something caught my eye.

"I got it!" I shrieked. And before any of my teammates could ask what exactly I had "gotten" I stormed over to the gym. But of course, I wasn't a lone in this fight for long; my posse was running right after me.

I got to the gym and saw what I was looking for. 'It's more like who you were looking for Hales!' "Oh shut up, brain!" I mumbled to myself before I reached who I was looking for. The only person that could help, that I could think of, was the one and only Coach Dan.

"Why hello, Miss James" he said in a kind of 'I'm out to get you' tone. He always did freak me out!

"Hey Coach!" I said trying to act as if nothing was wrong, even though EVERYTHING was going wrong.

"Oh, I heard about the girls team," 'wow he actually sounds like he actually cares', "Sucks to be you guys!" 'Spoke to soon.'

"Yeah, about that….. I was thinking and maybe you could allow us girls to you know try out for the boy's team. It would only be fair."

"Fair, Haley, I don't play fair! Boys are better athletes." I scoff and he continues. "And I'm not just saying that, it's a scientific fact."

"B.S." I mumble

"What was that?" he asks

"Oh, nothing!" I began to look around the room when I spotted my boyfriend playing basketball. 'Yes, Yes, Yes! I can totally persuade Justin into letting the girls play on the team and after Coach hears that Justin doesn't mind. He will so let us play!'

"JUSTIN!" I shout "Can you come over hear real fast!"

And of course he listens; he knows if he listens then he gets treats.

"What are you doing?" whispers Katie behind me, where all the girls are waiting to hear the verdict!

"Just watch!" I say allowing my self to giggle like a little school girl.

"Hey baby! What's going on here!" he says running up to myself and Coach with his own little posse. Like I told you he's the king and I'm the queen.

"Justin, they cut the girl's team, so I asked coach if we could play on your team, but he said no!" Wow I never knew I could whine like that! Ha who cares he will so want me to play on his team! He doesn't look too convinced though so I give him my puppy dog face. I know he can't resist that!

"Girls can't play on our team, Hales!" Justin says, "I mean we do want to actually win some of our games this year." He's joking; he has got to be joking because there is no way that I am going out with someone who such a, a, a. Okay! So, I don't know what he is, but still I can't be going out with him some one who acts like that.

"I can't believe you! You just said that I was better then most of the guys on your team and now this!" I yell at him. He deserves it so I don't feel all that bad having a fight with him in front of his friends and coach.

"Hales, I never said anything like that," 'Wow he only cares about his selfish self, what a…….', "End of discussion, okay?"

"Yeah okay," I say this defeated. Then I say one last thing to him, hoping that it's the last thing I EVER say to him, "End of relationship!" I get up, pick up my bag and start walking a way.

I can hear the faint screams of Justin saying things like, "But baby I just don't want you to get hurt." Or "You know you're going to come back, I'll just let you cool off for awhile."

'Yeah!' I think to myself 'I'm going to need to cool off, for a very looooooong time!'

A.N. okay first chapter up! Tell me what you think! THANKS!
