Amanda stood grimly through the opening ceremony, and chose to ignore the catcalls and leers from the crowd. The girls however had other plans.

"And our newst team, the Belles!" The announcer called.

The whole Athletic team, leered at the same time. Suze stamped on someone's foot. Someone kicked Elle, thinking it was Suze. Elle screamed. Ryan whacked Elle in the head. Suze kicked the guy who kicked Elle. He kicked her back.

"C'mon guys." Amanda hissed, using an exasperated tone.

………………………..

Amanda pulled her laptop out of her bag, figuring that no one would mind if she did a little work while the game was going on. After all, she had told the girls where to go, and there was noting left to do. Katie had secured her spot as pitcher and Ryan made herself catcher. Lane was first base because she was tall and had long arms and legs. Suze, Callie, and Suze were second, shortstop and third. Audrey, Clara and Ali were outfield.

Elle, of course, was sitting in the dugout, filling her nails, and smiling at any cute guys tat walked by.

Seriously, Amanda thought, there's no hope for this team.

The Belles were playing the Angels, which were thought to be the best team of the league.

And the game went by so slow that it was painful.

Katie either walked the runner, who would steal, and then the ball would go who knows where, thus the runner making a home run. Or the hitter would hit something, and once again, the runner would end up scoring a home run.

The game ended up scoring, 28 – 0. Guess who was the zero.

The girls came stomping into the dugout, Ryan leading them. She took off her helmet, and threw her chest protector to the wall of the dugout.

"What's wrong Ryan?" Amanda asked soothingly.

It didn't have the effect at was desired.

"What's wrong?" Ryan asked. "Look at the friggen scoreboard."

"Its not that bad." Amanda said. "Maybe at practice, you guys will pay attention to me, instead of arguing with each other."

Elle and Callie smirked at Ryan and Suze.

"Or, worrying about my nails!" Amanda said.

"Like this is our fault?" Suze asked.

"Yeah, you were in here working on you computer!" Katie exclaimed.

Amanda looked taken aback. The blame that she had shot out at the girls had just been shot back at her.

"You know what?" Lane said. "I don't need this." She took her bag, and stomped out of the dugout.

The rest of the team followed. Eventually, Amanda dragged herself out of the dugout, and went home.

…………………

Practice was the next day. Amanda had half hoped that nobody would show up, but surprisingly everybody showed up, but they went looking too happy about it.

"Ok, is everybody ready?" Amanda said.

"No." Lane said. "We quit."

"Yeah. Majority rules." Ryan said.

"Look, I know that I have basically screwed up at a coach." Amanda said. "But I know we can come back from this."

"But we took at vote-" Suze started.

"WELL THAT'S TOO BAD!" Amanda shouted. "GET OUT ON THE FIELD RIGHT NOW!"

"This is unconstitutional." Lane muttered.

"Oh, stop using such big words." Ali said.
