"An Important Decision"
With a few clicks on the school's website, I find what I am looking for the dates for
volleyball tryouts. Nothing makes me happier than that sport, whether I am casually
bumping the ball with friends in the backyard or spiking one into the opposition's court
with laser accuracy, I feel completely alive. Even though the official tryouts are a few weeks
away, I have been practicing relentlessly when the gymnasium is open to students.
My excitement leads me to call my best friend Katelyn. As soon as I hear the line ringing, a
thought occurs to me and makes my heart flutter. The first day of tryouts is the same date
as Katelyn's dance recital! She is depending on my moral support. When Katelyn's chipper
voice answers, a sudden paralysis takes over my mind and body. Eventually I mumble,
"Hey Katelyn .. hang on a second... uh, let me call you back."
