V3 ch323 Bus Ride Home

The softball game started like it was the playoffs. Lineups were announced. Anthem was sang. The home team took the field as they were announced again. The coaches and Alisha showed up, sitting in the first row with me and Noah. 

Being the visitors, our school was up to bat first. Leadoff was a junior girl who struck out swinging. Kaylee came up next. 

Almost simultaneously, Noah and Alisha both jumped up and got closer to the fence. 

"Come on, Kaylee!"

"You've got this!"

"Eye on the ball!"

"Do your best!"

Almost instinctively, I got up too. I was slower to the fence and slower to cheer, but I swallowed the lump in my throat and gave it my best. "Just make contact. You're fast enough to beat it out."

"Yea, Kaylee!" Noah hollered.
