I headed outside to shoot some baskets. The same two flyers were posted everywhere. The first—the one most of the students were getting all excited about—had a surprisingly sexy photograph of Angelica Wyatt on it: AUDITIONS FOR EXTRAS TWO DAYS ONLY! MAYBE YOU’LL MEET ANGELICA WYATT! Be a Star—Even for a Few Seconds! Pass, I thought. Plus all my attention—all my focus—was locked in laserlike on the second flyer: BASKETBALL TRYOUTS MONDAY! 3PM MEET in GYM 1 Juniors and Seniors ONLY will try out for Varsity Freshmen and Sophomores will try out for JV Funny. Despite what happened the past few days, I still cared about basketball. I guessed that I would start off trying out for JV, but at the risk of sounding immodest, I didn’t plan on staying there very long. I took a few shots by myself. I didn’t want anyone at my new high school to see me play before tryouts.
