    When it was finally time for the first years to have Quidditch class, I was bursting with excitement. I wanted to show everyone how good I was at being Beater. One of the best people I saw at flying practice was Harry Potter, it made me want to impress him too. We were instructed to shout "UP!" to pick up the school brooms. Only Potter, a couple other kids and I succeeded on the first try. Then Longbottom was sent to the Hospital Wing because his broom had went crazy.
    Then moment -insert Qudditch teacher here- left with Longbottom, that idiot Malfoy started being annoying. I threatened to hit him with my broom when he asked me what it was like to know my parents were Half-witted Hufflepuffs.
    "How do you even know that, you stalker?!?" I screamed as he stole Longbottom's weird toy thing I didn't recognize. He flew up into the air, Potter flew after him. I grabbed a huge stick and followed.
    "So you admit that your parents are stupid." Malfoy replied. Yeah, I thought my parents were stupid and annoying, but I wasn't about to let Malfoy say that.
    "I'm going to strangle your hideous neck with Hannah Montana's wig!" I yelled as I swung the stick threateningly.
    "Temper, temper, does your unstable personality come from your Mud Blood mother?" Malfoy taunted, keeping a good distance between me and him.
    "ASSHOLE!" I grabbed a rock from the roof of the school and hit it with my stick, speeding it towards Malfoy. He flew away as fast as he could.
    A figure was walking about of the castle from far below,"KANG, POTTER, MALFOY!" it screeched. Professor McGonagall. The Gryffindors defended Potter, the Ravenclaws defended me, and that pug-faced girl defended Malfoy. Professor McGonagall took away Potter and talked in hushed tones to Flitwick before handing me over to him.
    "Come here Kang." Flitwick said. I hoped I wasn't about to be expelled, that would put a stop to all my ambitions.
    Flitwick spoke again when we were in a completely deserted corridor,"I think that you would be very good as a beater. I'll show you to the tryouts, they're being held soon."

    when two of the three people who had flown up without permission left, my broom came to my hand. i got on it, and hovered a few feet. 'very good' said the broom instructor (is it Flitwick?). 'can you fly any higher?' he/she asked. 'ill try.' i said, and soared upward. i instinctively leaned forward, and went faster. i flew all around, and landed perfectly in front of the teacher. 'you might want to try out for the Quidditch team this year.' he/she said. 'class dismissed!' i went up to my friend Laurie who id met in Potions class. 'hey Laurie. do you know what Quidditch is?'

    I was told to try out for the Ravenclaw Quidditch team, too. For seeker. Maggie came up to me and asked, "Hey, Laurie. Do you know what Quidditch is?" I said that I did. She stared at me. "Why? Don't you know what it is?" I asked her.

    "Um... so, Maggie, Quidditch is like basketball except with more balls and everyone's on brooms. The Keeper guards the goal posts from the other team's chasers and their quaffle, in which they try to score with, the three Chasers score goals with the Quaffle by throwing it throw the other team's goal post, the two Beaters keep the Bludgers away from their team, the Seeker catches the Golden Snitch and ends the game. The game can go on and on until the Seeker catches it. Doesn't it sound like fun? I want to be Ravenclaw's seeker." I told Maggie.

    I walked up just as Laurie was explaining Quidditch is. "So that's what Quidditch is. Someone was talking to me about it and I asked what Quidditch was and they looked at me like I was mad. I would probably be good at Quidditch because I'm really good at basketball. My team won the tournement because of me. Of course, that may be because I accidentally made the ball levitate through the net. But, oh well. No one saw it and it was an accident."

    I smile also. Seeker sounds cool but there are probably going to be a gazillion people trying out for it. "If I get to try out I'm going to tryout for chaser. It sounds awesome! Do you think if I ask Professor McGonnagall she'll let me?"

    I knock at the door of Professor McGonagall's office, slightly scared. We hear her say "Come in." We both walk in. She looks up, "Oh. Hello, Bianca, Maggie. What do you need?"
    I speak, "I-I- was wondering if we could try out for the Gryffindor Quidditch team."
    She looks at me over her spectacles, "I would have to see if you can fly well first. Come with me to the Quidditch Pitch and I'll have you fly around in circles in the field."
    Maggie and I both follow her. McGonagall gives me the broomstick first. I kick off and fly around the pitch. It's exhilarating. I will the broom to go faster. I go around the pitch five times before Professor McGonagall blows a whistle for me to stop. I dive down and my feet touch the grass lightly. Professor McGonagall looks me over and tells me, "Depending on how well Maggie flies you can play Chaser or Seeker. It all depends if Maggie can fly better that you, but that will probably be hard to beat." I give Maggie the broom and whisper to her, "Good luck!"

    'thanks. you did awesome!' i whisper back. i mount the broom, and kick off. i feel the wind in my hair, and lean forward on the broom. i lean in closer to the handle, and i shoot forward, faster than ive ever gone. i count my laps, and on my third lap, my sneakscope falls out of my pocket. i zoom downward, and an inch from the ground, i grab it, and pull up. i continue doing laps, and on my fourth, McGonagall blows her whistle. i descend, and she looks at both of us. 'you are both amazing flyers, best ive seen in years. you will both be on the Quidditch team, and we will have to get brooms for you both....' i whisper to Bianca. 'youll get Seeker. you did five laps, and i only did four.' 'Maggie, you will be Seeker, and Bianca, you can be a
    Chaser or Keeper. its your choice.' Professor says.

    I'm only slightly disappointed by not getting seeker, I'm too happy for Maggie to feel too disappointed. "I'll be a chaser." I tell Professor McGonagall. When she leaves I hug Maggie. "We're both on the Quiditch team!" I sqeal. I was so happy that I didn't fall flat on my face on my first try ever!

    I saw a line for tryouts for quidditch and decided to try. It was finally my turn, I got on the broom swiftly and was soon in the air. The wind was cool and crisp, it smelled slightly of Malfoy's cologne which he had over-used when trying to impress a girl. I did laps around the field until I found a basketball stranded in the grass. I swooped down 5 inches above the ground and grabbed the ball without stopping my broom. I carelessly threw it over my shoulder and was stunned to find that it had gone through the hoop. "We have a gryfindor chaser!" Professor McGonagle announced as I landed and jumped off my broom

'i wish i had a faster broom. ugh, but i dont have any wizard money. hey!' i have an idea. i put the broom up, and ran up to my room. i took out a quill and parchment and wrote 'Tutor! having trouble with homework? cant seem to make that potion just right? the swishing and flicking of wands baffling? get some help for only five galleons! be the top of the class in no time! see Maggie White for details and times for tutoring sessions.' i tack it to the notice board. i return to the quidditch pitch for some more practicing.

'GRYFFINDOR WINS WITH ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY POINTS TO TWENTY!!!!!!!' Lee shouts. 'TAKE THAT, YOU STINKIN, CHEATEN, NO GOOD *****!!!!-sorry Professor. ow! im sorry, im sorry!' Lee wimpers.

    I ran down to the pitch, and saw Fina there,"Hey!" I yelled. I hopped on my broom, which was a Comet Two Sixty, grabbed my bat and shot up in the air,"Ravenclaw is going against Hufflepuff in a couple days... Is it really scary to play?" I asked,"I hope Hufflepuff is as bad as Syltherin was..."

    i yawn at breakfast. the mail comes, but i dont expect any anything. i never get mail. i am about to take a bite of toast, but five owls landed right in front of me. 'what the crap?'i open the package they were carrying. 'a-a broom?' Fred and George lean over the bench. 'whoa!' they say together. 'thats not any broom.' Fred says. 'thats a nimbus two-thousand! the fastest broom in the world!' George exclaims. i look at it, and cant wait to test it out. i run from the Great Hall, out onto the Quidditch Pitch. i see Fina and two Ravenclaws practicing. i mount my broom, and do a couple test runs. the familiar blast of speed is ten times more powerful. i do all sorts of feints and loops to practice.

    As I ate breakfast, I remembered that I should practice Quidditch. Ugh, since I was not a morning person, this idea sounded about as good as eating poop. I grudgedly walked up to my dorm to grab my broom. As I was waking down the stairs, I had a wicked idea! I mounted my broom and flew down the stairs toward the door to the Quidditch field. "Crap..." I mumbled as I saw Severus Snape in front of me. I sped up so that I would be a blur and he wouldn't be able to recognize me. I pushed faster and faster, pressing my head down so I'd go even faster. It worked! He nearly fell over from the force! Soon I was out the main entrance

    I took a snitch out of my pocket. I had always kept one, they're so lovely. I let it go and I closed my eyes for thirty seconds, my friends were still talking. I set my stopwatch. I opened my eyes and right away, I saw it at the other side of the feild, it was hovering. I took off at full speed, I couldn't see anything else but the snitch. Then I grabbed it. I pushed the button on my stopwatch. I screamed with delight. Everyone on the feild turned to me. I blushed and went back to Daphne. "Look what I got!" I told her. Daphne stopped her conversation to look at my stopwatch.

    I went to a different part of the Quidditch field, sometimes I liked to be a lone wolf and go off on my own. Since I didn't have a quaffle to practice with, I just flew around in circles.
    "Are you actually going to play quidditch or are you just going to fly around?" a voice said behind me. It sounded... scottish?
    I turned around to see Oliver Wood, the Gryffindor quidditch captain.
    "I would love to but, I don't have a quaffle or whatever..." I said
    "That's why I have these..." he said, opening a huge chest
    "What the-" I flew down to the ground
    Inside the chest were varieties of balls and bats. He pulled out a quaffle and smiled. We played, him as the keeper and me as the chaser. It was fun, I kind of missed my friends but...I mean, they were just talking anyways...Surely they wouldn't miss me...

    "Umm... is that a good thing?" I asked

    I smiled "Thanks"
    "So, uh, what is your favorite color?" he asked
    I smiled "Hey, that reminds me of Monty Python and the Holy Grail!"
    "Oh my god, you saw that too?!" He asked amazed
    "Yeah, I love that movie!" I exclaimed "Have you ever seen the Princess Bride???"
    He smiled "That's one of my favorite movies, along with quidditch movies..."

    teh next game was slytherin vs ravenclaw. i, of course, cheered for ravenclaw.
    a few minutes into the game, it wasnt going well. the slytherins were up, 70- 30. laurie had better catch the snitch soon!
    suddenly, the slytherin seeker, malfoy, pulled into a dive. i could see a faint flutter of gold and i knew he was really going after the snitch. laurie followed him swiftly. the crowd jumped to their feet. "COME ON, LAURIE!" i screamed. she was neck and neck with malfoy. she was passing him... her fingers were about to close around the snitch... BAM! she swerved to avoid a sudden bludgeraimed to her face. she lost teh snitch, but, fortunately, so did malfoy. i plopped back into my seat with a sigh. "stupid slytherins," i muttered.

When Jake went to the bathroom, Fred put a whoopie cushion on his seat. When Jake came back, he tried to make a romantic approach towards Daphne and he sat down swiftly and all of a sudden-PHOOOOOOSHHHH!!!- everyone started laughing he turned red. "I-uh-need to uh...go" He studdered, running off towards the bathroom. I ran after him and finally well, heard him in the boys bathroom. "Jake..." I knocked on the door. I heard him sniffle "Go away!" he said. "Jake, I can't come in to talk to you. You're gonna have to come out to talk." I said calmly "What if I don't want to talk??" he said rudely. I stayed calm "Okay, then. I was just gonna give you some tips on Daphne..." I said. He immediatly came out.

    The next game was us against Slytherin. Most of my Gryffindor friends were cheering for my team. I wasn't very excited to play against Draco, who did beat me up the fist day I met him. I flew around near the ground, not very many people think to do that. Right away Slytherin's chasers scored on Roger a good couple times. I tried not to listen to Aaiden's scoulding. Then Ash scored, too. The score was then seventy to thirty with Slytherin winning. Draco then dived down to the snitch. I saw it, too, now. My broom was faster than his, I was really close. People were screaming for me. People jumped up. Fina, I heard, scream, "Come on, Laurie!" Suddenly, though, a bludger came close to breaking into my waist, I had to dive out of the way to miss it. Then Draco yelled out in pain. A few people cheered. I heard the Slytherin beater swear to himself for missing me and hitting his seeker. People sat back down. I started circle above this time and very quickly spotted it. I dive, full speed. No even a second later, I have a golden ball with wings in my hand. "Ravenclaw wins!" Lee yells. It felt great, hearing everyone cheering, except Slytherin. I smile and blush looking over the crowd. Sweet victory. Teach Draco to mess with a girl smaller than he is.
    When I got down and out, Fred was there to meet me. I hugged him and he hugged me back. "Great job, Miss seeker." Then our huge group of Gryffindors and Ravenclaws went out for butterbeer. I saw my brother, Jake, with Daphne and I went over and sat next to Jake. Jake used the restroom and Fred put a whoopie cushion on his seat. Well, that ended in the worst way posible. Let's just say he ended up in the bathroom again. Claire followed him. I followed her and hide. "Jake..." Claire knocked on the door. "Go away!" he said. "Jake, I can't come in to talk to you. You're gonna have to come out to talk." She said calmly. "What if I don't want to talk?" He asked. "Okay, then. I was just gonna give you some tips on Daphne..." She said. He immediatly came out. She smiled and gave him a whole lot of advice. I came out and hugged my big brother. He shrugged me off and Claire laughed.

    Jake decided to try again for Daphne. I decided that we should leave them alone. I winked at Daphne and she gave me a desperate look. I walked up to her "Just give him a chance!" I whispered. She frowned at me. Oliver and I walked around and looked in store windows as we passed them. We talked and joked and laughed until we came upon Hogwarts again. "Race ya' down to the lake!" I said getting a head start. "Hey! No fair!" Oliver said running after me. I looked behind me and laughed. I stopped short when I saw Malfoy and his gang throwing snakes at eachothers heads and being morons (as usual)
    Malfoy stopped when he saw me "Well, if it isn't the little mud blood who dared to insult me!" he sneered.
    I laughed "And by 'insult' you mean drench you in Dragon manure?"
    He looked at me with cold eyes "Wait and see what you'll be drenched in when I'm through with you!"
    Just then, Oliver ran up to me "What's going on here?" he said coldly to Malfoy
    Malfoy started cracking up "Wait...wait...you're with ...with that ugly old git who couldn't hit a ball if his life depended on it?!" he said between laughs

    Jake decided to try again for Daphne. Claire decided that we should leave them alone. When Oliver and Claire left, I made the choice to follow, but, as a fox. Well, I am an Animagus. Just not very many people know that. And the people who do are swore to keep it a secret. Oliver and Claire walked around and looked in store windows as we passed them. If they would've looked behind them, they would've seen a red fox sneaking after them. They talked and joked and laughed until we came upon Hogwarts again. "Race ya' down to the lake!" Claire said getting a head start. "Hey! No fair!" Oliver said running after her. She looked behind her and laughed. She stopped short when we saw Draco and his gang throwing snakes at each others heads and being morons. Draco stopped when he saw Claire "Well, if it isn't the little mud blood who dared to insult me!" he sneered.
    She laughed "And by 'insult' you mean drench you in Dragon manure?" I shivered.
    He looked at her with cold eyes "Wait and see what you'll be drenched in when I'm through with you!"
    Just then, Oliver ran up to her "What's going on here?" he said coldly to Malfoy
    Draco started cracking up "Wait...wait...you're with ...with that ugly old git who couldn't hit a ball if his life depended on it?!" he said between laughs. Oh, boy, was he going to get it. He just crossed the line. I ran up to him, still in fox form, and I bit his leg. He howled and looked down at me and then to Claire and Oliver. Claire shrugged looking pretty surprised herself.

    Finally, the fox stopped biting Malfoy. He looked down at his bit-up leg horrified, then he looked at me and Oliver horrified-ly. He took off crying towards the building. "Wow..." I blinked, not believing what I had just seen. Oliver laughed "He definetely deserved that!" he said. We walked down to the water. We pointed out the tiny creatures we saw to eachother. I shared a whole bunch of information on sea creatures that I had read in books. Oliver just stared wide-eyed at me.

    I let go of his leg and ran for cover. Draco swore under his breath and stomped his foot. I ran into the bushes. Then he ran away crying. I entered the castle and looked around for people. I changed, giggled to myself and then went up to my common room.

    We sat down on the shore and I played with the soft sand. For a while, there was just silence. Oliver kept opening his mouth like he had something to say, but he would always think for a minute and close his mouth. I ignored it.
    "Sooo..." I said awkwardly "What's up-"
    "Claire, I have something to ask you" Oliver said cutting me off
    I looked concerned "Okay, give it a shot" I said
    "I-I'm sorry I cut you off, I just...I've just been thinking about this for a long time. I just..." he sounded rushed
    "It's okay Oliver, what did you want to ask me?" I said calmly
    He smiled and took a deep breath "I know this is sudden, and well, kinda late but uhh...you see there's this dance tomarrow and I was just wondering, well, I mean if you don't want to that's okay. Or if you're going with someone else, I mean that's fine too..." he carried on
    "Shhh" I said putting my finger over his lips "Friday at 7:00, Gryffindor common room. I'll be there" I smiled and ran off towards Hogwarts, I had to pick out my dress.

    me and Dean leave the three broomsticks, and head over to the lake. we sit under a tree and start talking about life, quidditch and classes. then we stopped suddenly. he looks at me, and leans in and kisses me. pain stabs through me. i pull away in tears. i mutter "sorry." and run back to my dormitory. i pull my curtains closed, and start crying bitterly.

    I was sitting on my bed thinking about well, life and all of a sudden, Maggie came in and ran straight to her bed crying the whole time. I ran to her "Maggie? Maggie what's wrong???" I asked. She mumbled something between tears that was impossible to translate.
    She finally muttered "Dean..."
    "Dean? What happened with Dean? Do you want me to beat him up?" I asked
    "NO! NO! NO!" She started sobbing again
    "Maggie, I want you to take 3 deep breaths for me, okay?"
    "O-k-k-a-y" She muttered between sobs
    She took the 3 deep breaths. "Okay, now what happened with Dean?" I asked calmly
    She sighed "Well, he-he kissed me"
    I looked confused "Did he take advantage of you? Is that what it is?"
    "No! I just...I don't know what happened I just- I ran away and now...now I just-I" She went through her words
    I understood what she meant. She wasn't used to love, she was used to feeling unworthy of any boy. And now that she has found someone that she loved and who loved her back she didn't know what to do, she didn't know if a kiss was a little rushed. Now she thinks that he will hate her. Geez, how was I gonna explain this to her?

    "Maggie, listen. You love Dean, right?" I asked calmly. The only way to calm someone else down is to be calm yourself.
    "Y-y-yes, at l-least I think I do..." she said tentatively
    "Maggie, look at this picture" I said holding out a picture of Dean
    She smiled "Dean" she said dreamily
    "Yes, you love Dean" Fina said
    "Yes..." she said still dreamily
    "You love Dean and he loves you back, very much. He's not gonna hate you just because of this" I said
    "A-Are you sure???" she asked
    "Of course!" Fina said
    "Here, you should call him." I said handing her the phone
    "No, no, no, I can't!" Maggie cried
    "Yes, yes, yes, you can! Here, do you want me to talk to him?" I asked
    Me and Fina both smiled
    She hesitated "Okay."
    I dialed the number and put him on speaker phone.
    He picked up. "Hello?"
    "Hi Dean, it's Claire and Fina" I said
    "Oh! I need to talk to you guys! It's-it's just something happened with Maggie..."
    "What happened?" I asked, pretending not to know
    "Well, you see...I...I kissed her. And she just-she pulled away said sorry and- and ran away!" he said almost in tears "She must hate me now! I-I shouldn't have kissed her, I just- I just love her so much I just...ugh, I'm so stupid!"
    "No, no, you're not stupid!" I said
    "Yeah, I'm sure Maggie just got overwhelmed, she still loves you!" Fina said
    "I don't think so..." he said
    All of a sudden, Maggie spoke up "Dean." she swallowed
    "Maggie!" he said excitedly "Maggie, I'm so sorry, I just I love you!"
    Maggie nodded "I heard."
    There was an awkward silence
    "Dean, I-I love you, I'm sorry I just, I don't know what came over me!" Maggie said
    Fina and I smiled "Awwww!"

    the day before the game, lacey called an emergency practice. "okay, team, we really need to shape up. if huffelpuff beats us, we dont stand a chance at the cup this year."
    "come on, lacey, you know we're gonna win," fred complained. "you woke us up at five in the morning to tell us THAT?"
    "no, shes right," i said. "this is a big game. we need all the practice we can get."

Aaiden let go of the snitch. I chased after it and caught it right away. I zoomed back and placed it in his hand. "Brilliant, Laurie! How do you do that? What broom do you ride?"
    "Um... I don't know, this broom was my mother's." I said.
    "Well, doesn't it say on the handle?" We landed and he looked at my broom all over. He didn't find anything. "Did your mother tell you what broom it was." I shook my head. "Oh. Bummer. Still, it's the fastest broom I ever seen and if anyone desevrses it, it's my seeker." I smiled.

    "sorry. theres nothign i can do. sometimes rest is better than magic." she shrugged.
    "wait, will i still be able to go to the game?" i asked. if i couldnt be in it, i at least wanted to watch.

    the next morning, i wathed glumly as the team gathered outside. "good luck!" i called to them. teh replacement keeper (oliver, obviously) looked a little nervous, btu also kind of proud. i guess getting your spot back after being beaten by a first year does that to you.
    soon, everyone filed out to the stands. i walked as quickly as i could.
    as soon as the game began, hufflepuff had the quaffle. they raced quickly down the field and threw a hard shot, going right past olivers outstretched hand. i cursed under my breath. i knew i could have blocked that.

    I sat down next to Fina for the Quidditch game. Gryffindor vs. Hufflepuff. Olliver was Fina's replacement. Fina was annoyed by him and I could tell, by the way she looked at him. Hufflepuff started with the Quaffle and scored on Oliver. Fina looked like she was going to march down there and make them take her. I patted her on the back. "I get how you feel, darling, I'm sorry for you. It'll be okay."
    "I could have blocked that." She whimpered.
    "I know you could. You rock."

    I watched as Oliver dodged to defend our goal. The quaffle was at his fingertips when all of a sudden, he flew backwards. It looked almost as if he was being pulled back. People booed as the quaffle went through our goal. "10 points to Hufflepuff" muttered Lee. Oliver looked both confused and embarrassed. Everyone, especially the hufflepuff keeper was looking at him. I decided to take advantage of their absence and hit a quaffle through Hufflepuffs goal. The Hufflepuff keeper stopped laughing and tried to block the quaffle, but his short, stubby hand was too late. "10 points to Gryfindor!" Lee says into the mic. The Hufflepuff seeker gives me a death glare. Gosh, what a creep!

    "Woo-hoo!" I yelled, lifting my hands in the air and almost falling off my broom...again. Oliver smiled and all of a sudden, his broom went crazy flying everywhere. He went around in circles with a look of terror on his face. His broom flipped him upside-down and in fast circles. Then his broom zipped through the air, leaving him holding on to the very end of the broom with one hand. I raced over with my broom to go help. "Oliver!" I yelled, reaching up my hand. He grabbed it just as his finger slipped and he started falling. I slowed my broom to a stop on the ground. His broom still was going crazy in the air above us. We sighed and hugged eachother as people cheered. I opened my eyes "Oliver, GET DOWN!" I yelled pulling him down on top of me. His broom flew just where his head had been moments ago. We watched as the broom flew around at full speed and then crashed into one of the towers, exploding into bits of wood.

    Claire lifted her hands up in the air and shouted with joy. Oliver smiled, so he was happy, too. Then his broom went beserk and he had a scared look to him. I looked around the stands because someone must being casting a spell on his broom, brooms just don't do that. Claire went over to him and helped hin down after a little choas. They hugged each other and people cheered. She pulled him down as his broom swooped down to hit him, but missed. The broom then hit a tower. Wow, I was denfinatly going to find out who did that. I looked again to find nothing. Well, maybe I wasn't going to find out.

    After the game, and well the jinxed broom exploding, everyone talked about going to the Gryffindor common room. Pretty soon, the whole quidditch feild was empty, as well as the stands. Oliver and I sat in the cool grass, Oliver looked uncomfortable. "What's wrong?" I asked in a concerned voice. "Well, everyone must think I'm a sucky keeper!" I looked at him "Oliver, that's ridiculous! Everyone knows it was that broom, it was jinxed!" He still looked unsure.

    "it was his broom," i siad. "you saw it. it wasnt his fault."
    he shook his head. "that first goal- he could have gotten that. it was a really easy shot. i dont understand."
    "it happens," i said, shrugging.
    "you know, lacey's gonna be pretty mad at maggie," fred commented.
    "what? why?" i asked. "she got the snitch. we won."
    "yeah, but she wanted to gain a big advantage from goals. that way, we would have less to make up for in the cup," he said.

    I was thinking about Fred. Lately, whenever I looked at him, I didn't get a flurry of excitement. I saw him as my friend Fred, not the exciting, cute guy I had used to like. Everythign felt awkward between us. It just wasn't there anymore.
    After practicing, I sat in the stands for a little while, waiting for him to come out. Eventually he did. I called him over. "Look, Fred-" I began.
    At the same moment he said, "Fina, I-"
    We both stopped. "You first," I said.
    "Fina, I think we should break up," he said. "I want to be just friends."
    I nodded, relieved. "I know exactly what you mean," I said.
    "I've actually kind of started to see you as my little sister," he said.
    I smiled. "I can work with little sister." Glad nothign felt weird anymore, we both flew off to practice, which Lacey was just calling together.

    "I know what you're going to say, you want to break up, I feel the same way, let's be friends, now we hug." I said really fast and then hugged him.

    "No, I haven't. No clue. Did you find out anything?"
    "Why do you think I'm asking you?"
