It didn't help that Sophie was doing so well, either.
UGH.
Elliot could NOT be outshone by that stupid puffer! NO!
She cleared her throat and put the ball on the ground EVER so gently. Like, HEY BALL, I'm being NIIIICE so PRETTY PLEASE GO IN THE BASKET, KAY?! She cleared her throat again and shot a glare at Hannah...right. She was going to do this! YEAH!
"Depuls-o!" she cried, with a lot more gust than the last time, and the ball actually took! IT went zooming RIGHT into a basket...! Yeah! She turned to Hannah with a raised eyebrow..."I got it down TOO!" Yeah...and her second attempt was SO much better than Hannah's second attempt..it was!
Hannah could tell that her friend was having a hard time with not getting the ball to go in the first time and Hannah knew exactly how that felt. She too needed things to go right the first time around. Puffers doing well did nothing to boost your confidence either.
She knew that Elliot would be trying to show her up now. It was in her nature. She shot her a thumbs up with a cheesy smile all sarcastically in true Hannah fashion. She watched as Elliot's ball went into the basket, and she gave her a small clap. She was sure that Elliot would appreciate that.
Why not give it another go? She was doing so well that she wanted to continue...rub it in the faces of the ones who weren't doing as well. She retrieved another ball, positioned herself just right, pointed her wand and shouted
"Depulso." and her ball went smoothly into the basket once more. She had to fight the urge to brush her shoulders off.
