tell me your predictions. Who do you think will make the team?”
“Hmm…” she said, taking her time to think it over. “Well, us of course!” She giggled into the phone.
“I also think the veterans will make it—Tasha, Tally, and Monika. And then for the last spot, and I hate to say this because I know you don’t like her, but I think Genevieve will make it. She’s really not that bad, Dakota. She’s nice once you get to know her…” she said softly.
I wanted to stick a finger down my throat and gag when I heard her defending Genevieve. Yuck! But I did hope she was right about her and I both making the team. “So, can you believe that Amanda skipped school with Ronnie today? Genevieve dumped his ass today,” Sydney confided.
“If you ask me—he dumped her first. He’s been seeing Amanda for a while now,” I responded, letting out a chuckle as I imagined the look on Genevieve’s face when she realized that someone had stolen her guy for once, and not the other way around.
“Amanda and Ronnie have been hanging out for a while now?” Sydney inquired angrily. I realized then that I’d said too much, but Sydney was my best friend and I trusted her. I knew that even if she and Genevieve were friends now, she would remain loyal to me.
“Don’t say anything, but I saw him over at her house a couple of nights ago. They were kissing outside. I was mad at her at first. But honestly, I’m sort of over him.” As I said it, I realized it was the truth. Finally, I was getting over that douchebag!
“I’m glad to hear that, Dakota, because he’s an asshole,” she said, sighing loudly into the phone. We talked for a few more minutes, then said our goodbyes.
Even though I was tired, sleep eluded me. I read an eBook on my Kindle until I finally drifted asleep with my head tilted down over the screen.

I woke with a start . Tryouts today! But then I suddenly realized that it was still dark outside and my alarm wasn’t going off. What the hell? I took a peek at my Hello Kitty alarm clock. It was only one-thirty in the morning. I groaned loudly, falling back against my pillows and closing my eyes.
I heard the distant sounds of people shouting outside. I jerked back up to a sitting position, pushed my blankets aside, and tiptoed over to the window. Looking through a gap in the curtains, it took a moment for my eyes to adjust. But then I saw what was causing the noises outside.
There were three people wearing Halloween masks—a werewolf, a vampire, and a Frankenstein. Frankenstein was throwing eggs at Amanda’s house, while the other two were tossing toilet paper onto the lawn and strewing it up in the trees.
I didn’t know what I should do, so I just stood there watching, trying to figure out who these masked vandals were. Based on the body shapes, I had a good idea. The lights inside Amanda’s house remained dark, so they must not have known what was going on. But right on cue, the front door to the house swung open wildly, and crazy Grandma Mimi charged out into the yard, wearing granny panties and an untied robe.
The moment would have been hilarious if it wasn’t for the shotgun in her hand. Luckily for the three vandals, Mimi was a bad shot, because she pointed the barrel of the gun straight toward them and pulled the trigger. Bang! But it sounded more like a pop…
My ears were ringing as I jerked back from the windowsill.
Peeking back out, I saw the three vandals running away like someone had lit a fire under their rear ends. Actually, someone almost did.
The sound of the blast had rattled my windows. I squatted down and kept watching until Mimi retired back into the house. I couldn’t hold it in anymore. I burst into a fit of giggles.
Chapter Nineteen
I was pleasantly surprised to see Amanda standing at the bus stop the next morning. I guess good ol’ Ronnie didn’t follow through with giving her rides to and from school , I
