It had been the longest week after tryouts knowing this team cut me last year. I couldn’t fathom where I would go if I were to be cut once more. It’s Sunday and I’m supposed to receive a call issued from coach tonight. The whole day consisted with false hope whether I would make it or not.
The night came quick when I found myself seated on the dull leather sofa. My father, seated next to me, in a different world with his eyes sunk into the phone’s potential harmonious ring.

I realized he didn’t capture anything I said so I repeated myself drastically slower for his comprehension.
“I made the team,” my mockingly sluggish voice repeated.
Then I received a satisfying grin from him, so I implied he felt just as excited as I.
“The only reason you made the team, came from the extra work you put in on your own,” my dad assured
