Casey felt knots form in his stomach, just like he almost always felt on Tuesday and Thursday mornings at 9 A.M. That was the time that P.E. started, and Casey didn’t consider himself to be a very athletic person. In fact, he was always the last person picked for teams.

“Team dodge ball today, folks,” bellowed Mr. Pattee, the gym teacher.

“Conner and Ben, I want you two to be captains.”

Casey immediately felt even worse. He despised dodge ball- he seemed to be an easy target, and everyone pegged him first. Like usual, he was the last person picked for a team. He tried to think positively. Maybe today would be different. When Mr. Pattee blew the whistle, at least four balls rocketed toward him. Sure enough, he was the first person eliminated from the game.
