The truth is, its like no other day from the week.I go to school get on the train and go to gymnastics.People fawn over the beauty of gymnastics.The un -even bars, the cool zigg -zagged leotards.These are all part of the reasons I was drawn into gymnastic at the age of three.
And I am late, because the train never wants to run on the a schedule when I actually have to be somewhere that matters.
I squeeze between the empty lockers and toss my coat onto the floor.Everyone was chattering away.It reeks in here like body odor and feet.
I glanced at my right and see kelly parker straping on her hand gripes.
"Staring at me won't help you get dressed any faster ,Milla" she said without looking at my direction.
"Well at least some of us could drive ourself to the city''I say tightning my pony tail. "The trian was late"
Kelly shoves her gym bag into the locker. "youll have to think of a better excuse this time.Nobody blames the game"
She winks at me after reciting one of our gymnastics instructor's favorite lines, then snaps her combanation lock shut.Ruthie looks like one of those bra -models pale skin and striaght dirty blonde hair and big,soulful grey eyes.But the only angélica thing about her is her performance on the un-even bars.No body at the gym is better than her.No body.
She walks throught the door way and pokes her head back into the dressing room.''Two more minutes.'' Then closes the door firmly behind her.
I gather up the pile of clothes from the floor and suff them into my locker.I will have enough time to warm up and start my floor routine but I will have to run so I won't be late.I snap my combination and gather my equipment.
I ran down the hall as fast as I could without breaking my ankle.I push open the door and bump into carter.
"Watch were your going " He helps me gather my stuff and hands it to me.The tips of our fingers touch as and I quickly grab my stuff."Thanks next time I'll watch were I am going " He smiles and I smile back.Lucy walks up to me and sits on the mat.
"What was that for!"She said as she did a split.
"Oh nothing just bumped into carter"She touch her toes and smiled.
We both finished warming up and began doing our routines for nationals in London.This is big time for us because if we don't get in this could be 2 steps away from Olympics.
"Could I please have every ones attention" every one stops what there doing and forms a circles around coach."Tomorrow the national committee will be here to see who will go to London. So I'm sending all of you home early so you could get a good nights rest.Your all dismissed." Carter walked up to me and Lucy andhands us a white piece of printing paper with a address and phone number.
"I'm going to have a party tonight and I want to invite you guys." Lucy glanced at me and smiled. "We' ll think about it." Great so I think that's a yes see you guys there!"
Lucy turned around and crossed her arms."what do you mean 'I will think about it' come on Milla this is a party.Music, beer,boys, oh and did I mention about those boys!" I give her a little smirk and nod my head.She squeals and runs into the dressing room.
I am a little nervous about tomorrow but I think I will do just fine.
