1050 V3 ch284 Regional Tryouts (2)

We joined the line that seemed to be getting longer and longer. I glanced at Noah, starting to feel more awake and more unsure. 

Noah noticed and smiled encouragingly my way. "It might look like a lot now, but we'll be in smaller groups later. Don't stress."

Mom put her hand on my shoulder. "You can come find us at any time for any reason."

I nodded, happy that they weren't going to be too far. I don't know what we would do if this tryout conflicted with Zeke's game. Actually...I think I do know. Mom and Dad would choose to be there for me. And Zeke wouldn't mind one bit. 

The lines started to get divided as someone in charge yelled out instructions. "Last names starting with A all the way to H on the far left. I to R in the middle. And on the right we have S to Z." With the line divided into three smaller ones, things seemed to be going quicker. 

Even Mom commented. "Someone up there knows what he's doing."
