Debate Day The sound of shuffling papers and soft murmurs filled the brightly lit meeting room. The day Dawson had been eagerly preparing for with his debate
team had arrived. It had been three months of long nights studying and practicing.
He glanced over at the other team who were speaking softly to each other in a huddle. "Why do they seem so calm and collected?" he muttered to
himself.
He suddenly felt a strong sense of uneasiness emerge in the pit of his stomach, and he looked to see if he could gauge how his team was feeling,
"Are you doing alright, Dawson?" his teammate Elaine asked. "Ready for this?"
Dawson nodded his head quickly in reply.
