Chasing Woods
Chapter Three


"Can you believe that kid?"  I asked Cam as we walked home from practice. Austin had offically joined the team after todays practice.
"Well Woods you gotta admit despite the attitude, he's pretty dang good." Cam said. I didn't want to admit it but it was the truth. Austin was good. He was really good. And we're not gonna even talk about how good looking he is. But he had a great outside shot but at the same time is tall enough to play the post. I wonder if he'll take Josh's spot or something wait a minute. There were six guys now. Did that mean I was done with the team? 
"Cam you realize there's six guys now."
"Yeah so?"
"So does that mean I'm done with the team?" I was near tears. Just because I did this to help in the beginning, the boys team meant as much to me as the girls team did. And having played with them the past three years was a lot of fun. Challening, but it made me a better player.
"Woods calm down." Cam said slinging an arm around my shoulder. "Austin's been on this team for two minutes. Coach would never do that to you after all you've done for us. Plus I would pick you over Austin Filbin anyday."
"Awww Cam's soft side." I cooed at him. He hated when I joked around about his sensetive side.
"Shut up." He said shoving me away. He didn't lke being seen as anything but the tough guy that everyone else thought he was.And as much as Cams words reassured me, I still had to be sure.

"Whats up Woods?" Coach Larson greeted me when I got to school. I asked him to meet me before the girls practice so we could talk before both practices today.
"Um, I just had a question."
"Shoot."
"Well since the boys now have six does that mean I'm done with the team?"
"Ohh. Well I never thought about that since Austin joined the team." Everything got quiet for a moment and I was on edge of tears again. Finally Coach spoke again. "Well as far I'm concerned you've been on this team longer than Austin so you're first to me. You're staying with us Woods."
Sweet relief.
"You okay now?" He asked me.
"Yeah." I smiled for the first time since yesterday.
"Good go practice then."

As th girls practice went on, the boys started to trickle into the hallway.
"Oh.my.god. Who is that?" Our power forward LeeAnn Randerson asked. I didn't even have to look to know who she was talking about. All the other girls looked too.
"Woods who is that?" Center Julie Warchulski asked.
"His names Austin he's new. He's a major jerk."
"It can be overlooked when your that good looking. LeeAnn said. I knew they were all plotting ways to get his attention. I didn't want Austin but why didn't I wany any  of my teammates to have him either?
