The Hitting Zone

We got home and split up from Zeke after he gave us our shirts. We took them upstairs to our room and hung them up.

"First game is Tuesday." Noah grinned at the bright blue shirt. He gave himself number one, with 'Noah' written above it. He really liked being number one. "We should practice throwing a softball around. It's lighter but bigger so it's better to get used to it before Tuesday."

"Want to practice after school tomorrow?" I asked.

Noah nodded. "Just for a little bit. I don't want Mom and Dad thinking that we aren't studying for finals."

"Should we invite Alisha?" I suggested. She doesn't have experience and...I think she would like to be around Noah.

Noah pulled out his phone. "Yea! I'll invite her and Kaylee. Kaylee can ask KJ to come too if she wants." He started to type away.

Okay, not what I expected. "Should we also ask Julian and his brother too then?"
