“Here!Pass it here!” I yelled to my teammates.
I braced myself for the volleyball heading in my direction.
“Yes!”I squealed.The other team didn’t hit it and it bounced on their side.My team grinned at me.Oh,how I LOVED gym!
The other team was glaring at me—that was what I wanted.The more competitiveness,the more exciting it was.
I threw my head back and laughed.The other team’s hits suddenly seemed weak.
“That was an AWESOME serve!” I complimented Airea when she hit the ball harder than the HULK would with maximum strength.
Flora and Sarah glared at me.They didn’t like that their team was OBVIOUSLY going to LOSE !
I just grinned and said,”Oh,you guys didn’t like competitive sports?”,I laughed,”because this one’s gonna get REAL competitive!”
My team laughed.Then my teacher stepped up and cleared her throat.She looked solemn and sad as she pulled me out of the classroom.
Here that she told me huskily,”Your parents called.They said your aunt is in the hospital,dying.”
My eyes got watery and I started crying.
