Softball Tryouts Today

Today after school the softball tryouts are next and I hope that I make the team. My dad has been practicing with me and he says that I am really good and that I am going to make the team. But I am really nervous and scared. The possibilities are endless of what can go wrong. First of all I am afraid that it will start raining and then we won't be able to do anything and I would have to wait for like 3 hours for the 5:00 late bus. And I do not want that to happen. I brought I have improved and that I will do great and make the team. My dad agrees with me but I am not so sure. I do not want to disappoint my parents cause my dad plays softball and my mom doesn't. My mom says that it is good to try new things. And I think that she is right. The wind is starting to pick up now and the clouds are becoming darker than before. I fear the worst but I will have to try and succeed. My dad has taught me well and says that I am almost better than him. He says that I might be able to help the guys on his team including him. Well wish me luck.

I am doing really good on it I am on part 3 chapter 4. The book keeps on getting more exciting by the minute.

But Laura is having second thoughts with the bombing in England and the news claiming that the Shasakstani terrorist were behind the bombing. She is also worrying that she may see the horseman again. They haven't appeared in a while but she is still worried that she may see them there. But when her father talks to her she changes her mind and decides to go. Before she is about to go Javed's family maid comes and asks her if she can take the bag to Javed. the bag was so heavy that when she got on the train she started thinking that there might be a bomb in the bag.

My Book that I am Reading

The book that I am currently reading is called "The Fourth Horseman". It is an interesting book that will probably catch your eye in a the school library. But there is only one copy and I am reading it. I have been reading The Fourth Horseman since the 7th of December 2009. So far I am on part three. This book has many science references and many more. This book is about a girl named Laura. She is 13 years old. She has 1 little brother named Alex. He is 10. They both play cricket and are excellent at it. Alex also does Akido which is a defensive martial art. I should know cause I take akido classes. In Alex's class there is his best friend Javed. They think that he is hiding something. They later find out. They have a dog named Randall. About every year they apparently have a family row. Which is a cricket match between family and friends. It is always fun but not for Randall he has to be tied up but he gets perks like plenty of food scraps. The rest about the book is to read it yourself but I will tell you this the Horseman come and they see them but what they plan to do is unknown.
