""Go, go go go go…" People chanted as I, Christy Turner competed against the Dance Dance Revolution Champ on West Street, Jimmy Carter.
I was in the groove today, man. I had my friends, my guy and family here cheering me on. Whoever won today would go on to State's to compete for representing VA in the National DDR Showdown.
I know DDR is just a "game" but I mean, heck to me and others this is a sport. We were at the multi-plex where the showdown was taking place.
"Jimmy, man, watch out!" One of Jimmy's friends said.
"Hey, no pointers there, dude." One of my 'crew' said. I think it was my best friend Amber.
"How, 'bout you leave me alone, girl." The guy said.
"How about you shut your mouth?" It definitely was Amber.
"How about No!" The guy said.
Amber put a finger to her chin and pretended to be thinking, "Actually, I have a better idea. How 'bout I shut it for you?"
I rolled my eyes. Amber, who as you can probably tell is a tomboy was always trying to annoy a guy. Don't ask me why because I have no idea. I was hoping someone would stop those two, because I was already stressed for two reasons: (a. I HATE Jimmy and (b. This is one of the biggest competitions I have been in. So, their bickering did nothing but make me more stressed out.
No one said anything and I knew, I knew something was going to happen.
"Amber." I warned, she knows how I get.
"Ah, how about we take care of this after the competition I already know my girl's gonna win." Amber said. She just knows how to add on to my stress. What a great friend!
Craig, my guy tapped Amber on the back and said, "Amber, knock it down a few notches, ok?" He, too, knows how I get.
She simply shrugged. The other guy said, "Your boy knows how to handle you?"
Amber laughed, "Ha, try Christy's guy."
Jimmy and I then yelled at the same time, "SHUT UP!"
Everyone suddenly got quiet and then concentrated on the game. Finally, some peace and quiet! It was qa good thing to, because I had been missing a few steps.
