Badminton Game Against Leland

Today there was a Badminton Game against Leland. Before the game, I was really happy, and excited. I didn't care if we won or lost. I was confident that Lorita, and I would lose our match, since the whole day people muttered in my ear "Are you ready to lose?" The first set was a disappointment the score was 4, to 15. But I was still hyper and cheerful, but I felt I needed to try harder. Lorita and I both tried harder, and that's how we won the second set which was 15 and 3. Our coach was happy, and told us to keep on doing what we were doing. My confidence level rose, and I sensed that we could win. Before we began playing the 3rd set they said that they wanted a line judge. I was surprised, because we only called it out one, and it had been out. Then the people on the sidelines kept on arguing that the Leland team had 6 points. I asked the players how they had, and they said 5. That made them shut up. Then they kept on cheering when me, or Lorita missed the birdie. (You're not supposed to cheer on misses.) I got extremely mad. Then whenever Lorita had a good hit, I yelled out loud "GOOD SHOT" and Lorita did the same for me. Seems funny now. :) But I was happier once some of our teammates came to watch, and cheer us on. I was so angry that set, but Lorita, and I WON!!! 13-15!!!! However they won as a team. :( But I am so proud of Lorita, and myself!

Wow, Dalvinder, I was so proud of you. You were provided me with a backbone to keep playing and keep my hopes up. I was shattered by some of the comments the teammates made but we were incredible. We won with dignity!!
