*”She’s hurt, she’s crying, do you know what happened?”
“She’s definitely hurt. The trainer is with her.”
*”That was an intentional hit. Did you see that girl ignore her laying there and then she pushed her teammate for no reason at all?”
“They have tried to take her out of the game before. Yes, that pusher got a penalty.”
*”Take her out? This is high school!”
“Some coaches tell the team to be rough, especially on the captains.”
*”That’s horrible. Can you see if she’s alright?”
“She’s not going back in. She’s hurt badly.”

Me too. I made some chocolate chip cookies today for her. The problem is I didn’t have enough sugar so I had like 2/3 of a cup of sugar and it was supposed to have a whole cup so I used molasses to make up the difference which turned the dough brown, but I’m telling you they’re very good.!😂
