Basketball Triumph

Chapter 1

It started like any normal day. Matt, Mary, Lucy, Simon, and Ruthie all got up and got ready for school, ate breakfast, and rushed to the car to just make it to school on time.

Matt dropped Ruthie off at the elementary school and Simon off at the middle school and then he headed to the high school along with Lucy and Mary.

A day at school started off like any other for Mary Camden. She went to her locker to get ready for class where her friends greeted her.

"Hey Mary," said one of her friends.

"Hey guys," Mary responded.

"Are you ready for the test in Biology today?" asked one of her friends.

"I don't know, I didn't get much studying done last night because I didn't feel well, but I feel fine now," Mary told her friend. Just then, the bell to go to class rang.

"Bye, talk to you guys later," Mary yelled as she headed to her first class.

"Bye," her friends yelled back.

Once she got to her first class, which happened to be Trigonometry, she took her seat and the teacher started taking attendance.

"Kelly Cadson"

"here," she responded.

"Mariah Cambridge"

"here" she responded.

"Mary Camden"

"here," she responded. After her teacher had taken attendance, the students handed in their homework assignment from the previous day. Then, the teacher introduced them to a new lesson. Mary thought that this lesson was harder then the last one. When her teacher was done teaching the lesson, he gave them their homework for that night.

When the bell rang to go to the next class, Mary returned to her locker to put away her book from Trigonometry and get her book for Spanish. It was not until then that she suddenly started to feel sick again. She ran into the bathroom and threw up. This is not good, I better go see the nurse she thought to herself as she exited the girls' bathroom.

As Mary headed down the hall towards the nurses' office, she spotted one of her friends that she had Spanish with.

"Hilary," Mary shouted.

"Hey Mary," Hilary said.

"Can you tell Mr. Johnson that I will be late for class?" Mary asked.

"Sure," Hilary responded.

"Are you okay?" she asked Mary.

"Yeah, I'm fine," Mary lied. With that, she headed to the nurses' office.
