tennis

I don’t know how many people know this but I really like volleyball. During 6th grade I just started to really like it and played during recess a lot. But it wasnt until this school year that I actually tried out for the team and made it. After volleyball season, mom said that she would try to find an after school volleyball club for me. Mom wanted TQ to do a sport to so she put her on a tennis lesson waitlist and put me on a volleyball waitlist. What I didnt know was that mom had also put me on the tennis waitlist. I hate tennis.

Its been a few weeks since then and just yesterday, while my mom was at work, TD called Grandma and told her that tonight, I would be heading to the recreation center for tennis. I tried to tell her that it was a mistake and TQ was supposed to go, but TD hung up on me. So I called mom. And to my dismay, TD was right. Now, I hate tennis. Let me rephrase that. I dont like the dynamics of tennis. I like team games, where everyone is out on the court together.

But alas, yesterday night I went to the recreation center for a tennis session. I was very unexcited, as TD drove me and TQ sat in the backseat writing numbers or something. I have no tennis experience whatsoever. The closest I can get is soccer. So when mom put me in a section with people who had been playing for years, I was pummeled. But I wont say I was the worst, at the old house I used to play badminton so I had somewhat an idea of what to do.

It wasn’t as bad as I thought. If I were more interested I would be willing to get better.

But I’m not.
