English was my last class.

Four just glared at me the whole time.

That little dipshit (excuse my language but he is one).

After class I quickly go to my locker and then run to my car as fast as possible.

I drive home and run to my room.

I jump on my bed and try to sleep.

After a while I get bored so I go downstairs to get some water and a snack.

Great, my mom is down here.

"Hey honey! How was school? Are you ready for the big game?" She asks.

"Hi, Stupid, and Ya I guess so" I say and start up the stairs.

"What do you mean you guess so? You're always ready to play" She says.

"We're playing against the boys. And in gym I may have pissed off Four." I say and take a few more steps up the stairs then turning back.

"What's for dinner?" I ask.

"Your favorite." Is all she has to say.

I run up the rest of the stairs.

I forgot a snack but it's ok because we are having my favorite.

STEAK! (And Dauntless Cake for dessert.)

I take a nap until I hear my mom's voice.

"DINNER!" She yells.

I run down as fast as possible and sit next to Caleb nearly knocking over the chair.

My mom and Dad start to bring in the food.

While we eat we don't talk about much.

Caleb blabbers on about every single detail of his day but I don't say much.

______________________________

My parents drive me and Caleb to the game.

Surprisingly Caleb is gonna watch.

Probably not because of me but oh well.

We start doing some warmups.

I'm kind of in charge so I tell everyone to do a layup warmup that I learned.

Then the game starts.

Lynn and Edward do jump-ball.

She hits it to me.

Let the game BEGIN!

______________________________

Less than a minute left in the game.

They'll be expecting the same play we did in gym, so I decide to call out one that is like it, but different enough to mess them up. 

We've never tried it before so let's hope for the best.

I dribble down and pass it to Lynn.

She passes to Shauna.

Shauna does a fake shot and then passes to... Christina?

Dangit! 

She'll mess us up.

In gym she got lucky.

Chris looks confused but quickly passes it to Susan.

So that's why Caleb came.

He loves Susan.

Anyways, Susan around and then spots me.

She winks.

Show Time.

I start to run then pivit and go the opposite direction, but towards the basket.

Uriah is guarding me, but he gets stuck in a pick.

Ha, ha!

Susan passes to me.

I dunk it!

YES!

WE WIN!

I'm still hanging from the rim but I don't care.

I swing my legs up and let go of my hands.

My shirt starts to fall but I really don't care I'm too excited (plus I have a sports bra on).

My team starts high-fiving and hugging below me.

Then they all look up at me and start shouting "Good Job Tris" and stuff like that.

I jump down and Lynn and Shauna catch me, but don't put me down.

Instead they carry me around cheering.

I join in on the cheers.

The whole team went to Friendlys after the game.

I wasn't that hungry so I got a small sundae.

"Congrats Tris" I hear a voice say.

I turn around to see Christina?

"Thanks" I say faking a smile.

"Look, I'm sorry I've been such a jerk, I guess I was just jealous." she says.

I just stare stunned but quickly decide on something to say.

"It's fine, but jealous of what?" I ask.

"Oh please! Your BEAUTIFUL and talented and all the guys stare at you." She says.

I laugh.

"Good one! All the guys stare at me! Ha!" I say not believing anything she just said.

"But it's true! I see them! Tris don't put yourself down! You're like the most AMAZING person I've ever met. I'm really sorry for all those years of torment. We're on a team now. And You have to be nice to your teammates right?" She says.

I'm stunned she said that all about me.

But I'm going to push the whole 'I'm not perfect' topic, so I just say "right." 

She hugs me and I actually hug back.

I can't believe this.

Maybe Christina and I can be...

Friends?
