I am a girl. I was 6’1” tall on the first day of 11th grade. The basketball coach followed me to my math class and informed me that I was on the team and tryouts were on X day at Y time and he expected me to be there to start strong.

There was a boy I liked who just so happened to be on the basketball team, so I showed up thinking that I’d get to be around him. That did turn out to be true; the girls and boys teams often crossed paths. On a few occasions, we shared the gym.
