Friendship
Googol and Googolplex's spaceship makes a soft buzzing noise and it is invisible to humans. Pippa thinks a bee is flying around them. She waves her hands to shoo it away.
Troy stands up in the pool. The buzzing stops. He smiles.
"It's not a bee, silly. Look!" he says.
Pippa turns her head just in time to see Googol and Googolplex roll down the ramp out of their spaceship.
"Googol! Googolplex!"
Troy and Pippa jump out of the pool and run toward their friends.
Coach was running us like there was no tomorrow. I guessed that was the idea. For everybody except twelve of us there wasn’t going to be a tomorrow because he was picking the team after this tryout.
I suppose I could be less invisible if I were one of the guys who joked around in the locker room. Or if I broke curfew. Or if I complained. It's just easier to not be noticed. That way people don't expect things from you. There's no pressure, nothing to fear.
