It started off as a usual practice, coach Cael, me, Henry and the rest of my teammates were ready to go. 

We all lined up on the baseline, then a whistle blew and we were all taking off down the court.

Either way I ran as hard as I could trying to impress coach Cael so I could get my chance to play. Coach doesn’t like to play me because i’m a lot smaller than everyone else.

While I was walking home I thought that it is unfair because I am talented with my basketball skills, but i'm just smaller than everyone else. I won’t let being small stop me from being my best and trying my hardest everyday.

The next day…. Beep, beep, beep rang my alarm.

Beep Beep Beep

I Sprung right up out of  bed, ready for my day. I threw some close on and headed down the stairs. 

Mom was cooking her homemade waffles that everyone loves.

“Mmmm, Mmmm, Mmmm” I said as I sat down at the dining room table. “Hey bud,” mom said as she spread the butter across her delicious waffles. 

Mom gave me my plate of freshly made waffles, and it was gone in two minutes. Then I was out the door headed for school. 

The school day felt like forever because I was so anxious for my game that is after school.

Ring… rang the 3:30 bell,  “Finally” I said out loud time for the game. 

“Blue you're going that way, white your going this way,” the ref said to the two teams. I just sat at the end of the bench and smiled.

1 hour later…
