Short Story: Elizabeth Stole The Ball

Improved Essays
One sunny day, Elizabeth was at her basketball game shooting around. The team went into the huddle. “Whose starting?” Mia asked.
Coach said,“You, Morg, Kolby, Krystal, and Elizabeth.” Both teams went onto the court to start the game. The ref blew the whistle and threw the ball up into the air. Kolby tipped it to Elizabeth. She went down the court and scored. The teams went back and forth like that scoring. The score was already 20-15, the other team ahead. We had the ball and Elizabeth was dribbling up the court, “Pass here,” said Morgan.
“No!” said Elizabeth. She dribbled up the court and drove to the hoop. The girls on the other team stole the ball right out of her hand. “Why didn’t you pass?” asked Krystal.
“I don't need to pass

    Reconciliation Interrupted by the faint sounds of birds chirping and grass swaying in the gentle breeze, the calming silence became a distant memory. As the birds flapped their wings, moving at the edge of the tiny meadow, from one tree to the next, they cast their shadows over the body of a small brown skinned, black haired girl.
