Upset by the treatment the others showed her, Dianna was less than her best in practice. When, at last, it ended, she walked dejectedly toward the loc...er room. ‘Dianna, can I see you in my office a minute?’ Miss Conklin asked. Lisa was standing behind Miss Conklin, and Dianna saw hatred in the other girl’s eyes and was shaken. ‘Why is Lisa so angry with me?’ she wondered as she followed the coach into her office. ‘You didn’t have a very good day today, did you Dianna?’ Miss Conklin noted when. I turned off my brain, shut my eyes, and lobbed the bean bag like I had before.“Ba-shoom! And there you have it, friends! That is how it is done, nothing but net! Jiggle-jiggle-SWISH!” Uncle Evil announced joyously, and people cheered. I had thrown a 10 pointer right in the face bucket.
