"Pitcher, Coach."
From Create Your Own Story
He points to the bullpen. "Grab a glove and a ball. Kelly will warm you up." He gestures to a squat, muscle-bound boy wearing a catcher's glove and mask.
You hustle over, grab a glove and ball, and start with a few soft tosses to loosen your arm up. Then Kelly comes over to you. "Time to get serious, kid. One finger's a fastball, two fingers is a breaking ball." You nod, he jogs back, and he calls for a few fastballs. You zip them in there as hard as you can. He signals for some breaking balls, and you try to throw your best curve, but the ball ends up in the dirt.
The coach comes over. "You got a great arm, Foster. Forget the curve balls, just blow it by 'em. Now get on the mound and face a few live hitters."
You jog over to the mound, Kelly gets behind the plate, and a hulking behemoth of a student steps into the batter's box, waving a bat menacingly. You fire your first pitch. Swing and a miss. Two more pitches, same result. The behemoth slams his bat to the ground and stares at you in amazement.
"Glad you're on our team, kid," he grunts. "That fastball sure has pop."
You strike out four more hitters, but the sixth guy makes contact -- a deep fly ball that sails over the wall in left-center.
"I've seen enough," the coach snaps. "Foster, you're on the team. You'll be a reliever. Let someone else have a turn now. Lotta guys to look at. Practice is Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at 3 p.m. Games are Friday, Saturday and Sunday. See you here tomorrow for practice."
You change out of your uniform and into your normal clothes. Two well-muscled, tall, brunette girls intercept you as you leave the locker room.
"I'm Dina," one of them says. She has a narrow face and a charming smile.
"I'm Trina," the other one adds. She has a slightly rounder face, and a soft grin.
"We're on the softball team," Dina explains. "We have the same practice schedule as you do, and game schedule."
"I thought you might want to date me," Trina concludes.
"I saw him first," Dina says, glaring at Trina.
