"Not basketball?" he whined.
"Nope." In her head, Sierra could hear the teasing and bullying floating across the years. Everyone assumed she liked basketball when she was younger; when she was not good, they made fun of her.
"Every thought about it?"
"Not really, it's not my thing."
"Could I talk you into it? You would be great-you should really think about it. Volleyball is an okay sport, but really--"
