Text:

When Carina plays table tennis against her brother Pete, she sometimes wins and sometimes loses. But Pete thinks his sister is a good player and should join the school team. Carina likes the idea, but doesn’t know anybody in the team, so she asks her brother for help. “I know the coach, I’ll talk to him,” Pete promises.

At Haywood School the kids can play at the activity centre in the afternoons and in the evenings, and sometimes even on weekends.

While Carina and Becky are playing there in the lunch break on Monday, Wayne and his nasty gang come in. “Girls, it’s our turn now,” shouts Wayne and grabs the bat from Becky. Carina tries to help her friend, but Barry pushes her away. Then the boys get ready to play. “We don’t want any trouble with them,” says Becky and pulls Carina away from the table. “Wayne thinks it’s his table because he is in some table tennis team,” she tells her friend. Then they are watching Wayne and Barry while they are playing. Wayne sometimes hits the ball so hard that Barry misses it, but he isn’t really a good player. “I can do better,” Carina thinks and goes back to the table. “You’re not holding the racket right, boy!” she tells Wayne. “Racket? This is a bat! Don’t girls know anything about sport?“ At that moment Pete comes in with Mr Roberts, the coach and says: “Ah, here she is.” Mr Roberts sees the boys and says: “Oh, good, you are here, too, Wayne. May I introduce our new team member, Carina!” “Oh, no!” Wayne, Carina and Becky shout.
