Opis

As Emma packed her book bag and got ready for the day, a million butterflies fluttered inside of her stomach. Tryouts for the new team captain had been held last Wednes-day, and Emma had given it all that she had. The other people who had tried out had been Gemma and Marisol. Even though Emma truly wanted to be captain more than anything in the entire world, it would not devastate her in the least if she was not chosen as captain. Both Marisol and Gemma would make amazing captains, and Emma would be more than excited if either one of them became Captain of the Tornados. "Knock-knock." Emma's older sister, Ellie, said, knocking on her sister's door. "Hi, Ellie." Emma smiled. "Come on in." As Ellie made her way into Emma's room, Emma could not help but smile. Due to the fact that both Emma and Ellie had learning differ-ences, they both attend-ed Terrence Hill High School. For those of you who don't know, Terrence Hill is a high school that is specific-ally designed for students with learning differences. Each grade can only hold a maximum of 200 students. While the freshmen and sophomore classes had two hundred students, the junior and senior classes had only eighty students. As it just so happened, both Ellie and Emma were a part of the smallest classes at Terr-ence Hill High School. This was due to the fact that they were only one year apart. "Are you nervous about the results of the tryouts?" Ellie wanted to know. "A little bit." Emma replied, sincere-ly. Taking a seat on her bed, Emma contin-ued, "Ellie, I want this more than any-thing." "I know you do." Ellie smiled, taking a seat next to her sister. "Don't get me wrong, I would be excited and happy if Gemma or Marisol got it." Emma ex-plained, placing a piece of her shoul-der length dark red hair behind her ear. "How-ever, I also want that po-sition, too." "That's more than okay, Emma." Ellie smiled. "I am not just saying this as your older sister who loves you very much, but I think that you deserve that position more than any-one." "You do?" "Definitely." "Thanks, Ellie." Emma smiled. "I love you, too."
