Read this excerpt from an autobiography. Which sentence implies that the author is excited about wearing her cheerleading uniform?

“What a shame!” called the captain, Scotty. “The flag is missing from the flag pole today.” He looked over at me. With my blue uniform, white pom-poms, and fiery red hair, Scotty concluded that I would be the perfect replacement. The joke was on them, though. They forgot about my three older brothers who played football.
