Question

i take a step back and make my case. yesterday, our opponent spiked the ball through the net, and the ref totally missed it. for real, without new volleyball nets, the games already over.
during study hall i head to the principals office to state my case, but when i arrive, isas already there, pacing in circles, with her game face on.
we exchange tightened lips and squinty eyes, but our stare off is interrupted as the principals door opens, and ms. cook steps out with a how can i help you?
isa gets up quickly, and slightly but purposefully bumps me off to the side with her shoulder. i wanted to talk to you about the grant you announced this morning—
so did i, i blurt out, not letting isa finish. we need a new volleyball net.
the principal gives us each two minutes to talk, and isa has all her points written on notecards. shes pretty persuasive when she talks about her teams needs.

Explanation:

Answer:

Isa is convincing, while Lannis is disorganized.
