(no subject)
I was in chem yesterday listening to one of the sandman's most interesting stories when we heard a knock on the door. sanders goes out, comes back in and says 'allie..front and center'...
I was like 'oooohh shit..i'm got caught'...doing what, I dunno
So I go outside and coach hufford is standing there, kind of shaking. He was like 'allie..i know you quit the varsity team...and i regret that..because you had the second highest batting average...(at that point i was like o_O?..)..but we need you to play today...we need you to play so bad.
I said 'um...okay?' and he was like 'well..i need you to play jv today..those girls have no motivation and this is their last game and we don't have enough girls..we need one more' and I said 'coach..you realize that I haven't thrown OR batted since the last varsity game I played (a billion months ago)..' and he said 'ya..well who cares, you'll knock em out anyway'
so I reluctantly (not very reluctantly because I got to skip like 1 and a half classes) went down to the office to call mi madre.
her work was busy so I had to call like 12 times. finally i got the okay and told coach. on the way back, mrs.knight stopped me in the hall and talked to me for like 30 minutes about nothing at all.
so i got to play softball..but i'm sick so i wasn't looking forward to it.
we got there and started warming up...i told abby(pitcher) that we'd fool the other team and i'd throw some warmup pitches to her.. because I suck at pitching..but the thing is, my pitches....were accurate and fast, and coach watched me like he was gonna put me in as a pitcher. But you see, I've never pitched in my life...so I told him 'NOOO WAY coach...I'm just the good ol second baseman..and that's what I'm gonna STAY'
So I did.. I fielded 3 balls and got 3 outs...on one of them chelsea(1B) started to run out to get it even though I was screaming 'I GOT IT I GOT IT' so I started running to the bag, trying to beat her there..but she was in my way so I yelled 'GET BACK' and passed it to her. Well, the other team's coach (who was an exact replica of Christopher Reeve) started yelling at the blue telling him that it was in MY hand in HER glove.. he argued it like that was illegal or something, but my hand wasn't even IN her glove. we got it in our favor anyway.
I was cleanup batter. I felt bad for the jv girls though cuz it's weird having somebody who hasn't played in awhile just take their spot like that. Their pitcher was semi-okay. (better than I could ever do) I hit the first one that flew like a hundred feet in the air and hooked over the fence..the second one did the same..two fouls..that SUCKS. I got mad and the third one I just SLAMMED into a line drive down the thirdbase line..the 3baseman just watched it go by..I started sprinting to first, flipped my head back to get rid of my obnoxious helmet, and just ran round all of the bases..I didn't even look up. HOMERUN!!! coach was like shocked..i guess he expected a double or a triple.. but he offered my place back on varsity and I had to turn him down. I love soccer SO much and It was so hard going from soccer to softball in one day.
(jv ended up winning 3rd in their district overall)
