Maya stands at the side of a park court . The players are already in the game . Players in red shirts run one way . Players in blue shirts run the other way . The orange ball hits the ground with a loud sound . Maya wants to play . She wants the ball in her hands , and she wants to give it to a teammate before the other team takes it . Her cousin Ben wears a blue shirt . He is already on the court . Maya must wait until a place is free . A boy in blue slows down and holds his side . He walks off the court and waves at her . Ben looks over and nods . Maya steps onto the court . Her shoes feel stiff . Her mouth is dry . She does not know the names of the other blue players . The ball is with a tall girl in red . The girl looks left , then right . Ben moves in front of her teammate , so she cannot pass that way . She bounces the ball low . Ben reaches in . The ball comes free and rolls toward Maya . " Maya ! " Ben shouts . Maya picks the ball up with both hands . Red players turn and run at her . They are close , and they are fast . If she stands and thinks , they will take the ball . She looks for Ben . He is near the basket , but a red player stands between them . That player can catch a long throw . Maya keeps the ball . On her left , a blue player she does not know lifts both hands . No red player is next to her . The space is small , but Maya can use it . She takes a short step and passes . The pass is low and a little soft . The player still catches it . She does not stop . She turns and sends the ball to Ben . Ben is under the hoop . He puts the ball up . It hits the edge of the basket , rolls , and goes through . People beside the court clap . Maya does not stop to look for them . She runs back with the blue players . Her heart beats fast and her face is warm . The tall girl in red takes the ball to start again . She looks at Maya for a moment , then she looks away and bounces the ball . Ben jogs past Maya . He only says , " Stay with me . " Maya nods . The court is still loud . She is not waiting at the side anymore .
