My coach already had me enroll in gymnastics.  I'm killing it at floor and vault. I'm ok at beam, but bars man. They suck. I've also grown closer to Cam since that night. Hes really not a bad guy once you get to know him.

"Hey Cam," I said, me and him meet at slauson cafe after our practice, and before i go to my gymnastics class.

"Ready for your class?" He asked, handing me an iced coffee.

"No. We are working at mainly bars," I grumbled.

"How can you lift girls who weigh a hundred pounds, but cant flip on a bar?" He asked me.

"I just cant," I laughed. 

Me and him talked until I had to go to practice.

"See ya Cam," I said standing up.

"I'll walk you out, I know people been at you since Shawn died," he said.

Everyone gave me looks as I walked out to Shawn's car.

"See ya tomorrow," he said and walked back into slauson.

I went to my class and met up with Spencer afterwards in Crenshaw.

"Kia!" I scream and hug her.

"Pheonix!" She screamed back.

"Yo chill. You sound white," spencer said covering his ears.

Then flip walked up.

"What do you youngbloods want?" Flip asked us, what did we want?

"We want to get a ban from gang members walking through the parks," Spencer said.

Oh! Good idea!

"Absolutely not. That would include me and my OG bloods. Not to mention little Scott here," he said motioning to me.

"I'm not in a gang, Flip," I said.

"It wouldn't matter. Your brother made you the poster girl for the police when he joined," he said and I looked down.

Its true.

"Its a small price to pay when kids like dillion can run around with his friends," I said after a moment.

"Really youngblood?" Flip snapped.

"Some of my best memories with shawn are here," I told him.

"I'm sorry, but I cant. You havent thought it through," he said and walked away.

"I didnt think about the effects on you," Spence said.

"I vote we still try," I told him.

"What if we did a park cleanup?" Kia suggest.

"Get people to sign while they clean up essence park," I agreed.

"That could work. I can get the guys from the team to help," Spence said.

"I got Cam and Chris," I told him.

"Cam?" Spencer asked.

"Yeah we cool," i said calmly.

"We will talk about this later," he snapped.

Me and kia put up posters while Leila and spence put up others.

"So cam?" Kia asked with a smirk.

"I mean hes cool," I said stapling up a poster.

"That's it. Cool?" She asked.
