KYLA'S BIG FISH STORY!

Volleyball is my ultimate favorite sport and one night when I was on my way to a game, my life had changed forever. I had just left my house and it was 4:00 and my game started at 4:45. I was feeling pretty down because of the fact that I didn’t do so hot at the practice from the day before. I totally hurt my ankle but I could still walk and my spike was terrible. It was just a bad volleyball day for me. I was extremely worried on how I would do for that days game or even if I got to play. The car ride was taking a awhile because we had gotten something to eat. For some odd reason, there was some weird sparkly thing in my to-go box. I didn’t pay much attention to it and I just ate my food. We finally arrived at the game and as I walked in I saw a massive banner that said “Kyla, you can do it!” Then I heard some music and it didn’t sound like something I would hear on the radio but it sounded like trumpets. I opened the door and a random man announced my arrival. Everyone stood up, clapped, and cheered. I couldn’t wait for the game to start. I went on the court to warm up and as I stood to get a ball, a small bug-like thing came up to me and touched my ankle and my right arm and hand. It was small, green, and glowing. It said “you’ll do fine.” I didn’t know what to say…I thought I was going crazy. The game finally started and I was thankfully playing. I was in the second line up and excited to get in the game. My time finally came to play and it was make it or break it. The ball came to me and I jumped to spike the ball. I felt like I was flying and my hand was like a hammer hitting a nail right on the head. I couldn’t believe it. This was the best I’d ever played and I didn’t want it to end. When the game was over there was a humungous cake that was just for me. I was in utter shock and I was extremely ecstatic. We obviously had won all three games and I was a star. People from every university I could think had come up to me asking if I had future plans to play at a certain college. I got a full-ride scholarship to any university in the state. I couldn’t believe what had happened. The game I had been terrified to play in had become the best game of my life.
