I watch as Christina volunteers to do the wall sit instead of Aiden. It's kind of cute how she thinks a short, fragile, skinny girl like her can handle that. Wall sits are hard enough without weights. She straps the weights on. Then she drops into a wall sit. Ten seconds in, I expect her to fall. But she doesn't she keeps holding it. I decide to taunt her, just a little. She deserves it, for constantly making me look stupid at tryouts.
But to my surprise she doesn't fall. She just stays in a wall sit with her eyes closed. Christina makes it throughout the ninety seconds but I can tell her legs are sore from the way she winces. I don't think a girl can handle this stress much longer. She'll have to drop out of the team eventually. Many guys I know would quit this team by the end of the season. I don't think Christina's going to last the entire season.
I don't want her on this team. A girl doesn't belong here and she's taking away opportunities from other boys who actually belong on this team. Girls are overdramatic and emotional. They let the littlest thing set them off. I know how to make sure Christina doesn't beat me, or takes any opportunities from anybody. I just have to rattle her a little. She'll pretend not to notice but it will get to her eventually. And when it gets to her, she'll quit. There will only be one MVP on this team and it will be me.
I'm going to get it into Christina's head that I am the only MVP on this team. Christina needs to realize that's the way it is. She hasn't gotten the message. Is she going to continue to not get it until you have to take a stick and beat her over the head with it? But I'll keep going. I'm going to keep going until the message sinks in. Short girls can't play basketball. She will never be good at basketball because she's the short kid. Christina just needs to face reality.
