"Ok, so we have to throw the ball into the goal but you can only use one hand, alright got it", Seth said to himself as he was reading Water Polo For Beginners.

"And there are seven players at a time, each player plays both offense and defense", he said. While learning the skills of Water Polo, Jason and some of his other friends were watching Seth through the window.

"Hey, I thought he said he knew how to play Water Polo", Jason asked.

"Yeah, he did, so why is he reading a book on how to play water polo".

"I don't know, I don't even know why he is reading a book, I mean who reads books these days", Jason added.

"I don't know but there is something seriously wrong with this kid, I just hope he plays well cause we really need to win this, come on man lets go".

Before Seth could get up to reading about penalties Luke rushed over to him and told him that the game had been moved forward to lunch which was in 10 minutes.

"10 minutes, but Luke I don't even know all the rules", Seth admitted.

"Cohen just shut up and play, ok look if you help us win you will be the most popular guy in this school, so can we just go", Luke begged. Seth was excited, all he had to do to become popular was to help win a Water Polo game, but there was just a few little problems, he couldn't swim, didn't know the rules and wasn't a fan of sports so he probably didn't know how to catch a ball. "Oh God", Seth said nervously as he was being pushed out the door.

"Here you go man, this should fit", Luke said.

"What is it", Seth asked.

"It's the uniform", Luke answered, "what's the matter".

"Nothing it's great", Seth said with a disturbed look on his face. He had never seen anything so hideous, it was a tight blue and yellow swimsuit with blue cap. He couldn't believe that these guys were popular even after being seen with these on.

A short while later the game started and Seth was in the water kicking and splashing around, trying to keep his head above the water. Seth was goalie and he knew nothing about how to play that position.

"Damn, didn't get to this page", he said quietly to himself.

The ball was coming straight towards Seth and he had no idea what to do, so when the opposition through the ball into the goal Seth ducked under the water instead of stopping it from going in the goal.

"Seth, what was that, you could have easily gotten it", Jason shouted. Seth came up from under the water and saw everyone staring at him laughing, everyone who he was trying to impress just saw him make an idiot of himself and he knew he couldn't give up now so he put on a brave face and remembered everything that the book told him.

"Just giving them a little head start", he said, "because they're gonna need it". The game started again and Seth was now concentrating hard, he got used to the water and was ready to kick but.

Before Seth knew it the game was nearly over and they were one goal behind, he was exhausted and he didn't think he could do it anymore. He was about to give up when he saw the perfect opportunity coming his way. The worst player on the other team was about to take a goal and when the ball slipped out of his hand Seth dived on it, grabbed it and got a goal of his own. The whole crowd cheered and then the whistle rang for it to end.

"Whoa, I didn't think we were going to make it for a second there", Jason admitted.

"That was so cool, how did he do it", Luke asked.

"Don't know, but he is defiantly joining our team, guys like him are what we need", Jason said.

Seth and Luke arrived home later that day and Seth couldn't stop going on about his victory goal. "Luke you should've seen it, it was , I mean I was so cool."

"Seth, I did see it remember I was there", Luke said.

" Oh Yeah you were to anyway I've gotta call mum and dad, they are never going to believe that I played in a Water Polo match", Seth said excitedly. He picked up the phone and dialed his parents number. He was really disappointed when he got the answering machine.

"Hey mom, dad, I just wanted to let you know that today I played my first Water Polo game. You don't have to believe me if you don't want to but it's true. Anyway call me when you get back from wherever you are. Love you".
