content: Nothing bad.
summary: Doing something other than being a bookworm.
The ball ricocheted right off the rim and charged right at her; a squeal passed her lips and she ducked in surprise, glancing over shoulder to spot the wild basketball trapped under the bench. Finally she rose and wiped her hands on her jeans, walking over to retrieve it and give this another try. Basketball wasn't usually the kind of activity you'd find her partaking in, but that was only because she was a little ashamed to play in front of anyone. You'd be too if your initial reaction was to dodge an incoming basketball instead of catch it. Her incompetence didn't stop her from throwing the ball around, it just made her sly about it. Mouth twisted to the side, Paige picked up the ball, eyed it, and then threw it carelessly across the court. It was looking good there for a second, as the ball spiraled around the rim, teasing her. Paige's face glowed, ready to celebrate her victory with a cheer only to be letdown when the damned ball tipped over the rim and bounced away in its own triumph. "That ain't right," Paige mumbled, sulking her way around the court to get it.
