Those Girls

"Oh, hey Emily, will you be on our team?"

 

It was the very bad ending to a very bad day.

 

Three tests, forgotten homework, stuttered lines,

And this is what got me in the end.

 

Those girls,

The ones with the

Perfect long blonde beautiful hair

And the pencil skirts

And uggs,

The girls who even manage to make gym clothes look good.

 

We had lined up for

Captain ball

Which is really just

A mix of

Soccer and basketball.

 

And we had to line up,

Every inch of back touching the wall,

And the first seven people from each side would play, and then the next seven.

 

But of course

Those girls

The ones who can't bear to be

Seperated

For two minutes and forty-seven seconds

Had to have the perfect team.

 

No.

Just no.

 

I won't "be on your team."

 

There are no teams.
