Annabeth's POV :
I wake up before my alarm as usual. I check my phone to see a text from Rachel.
Hey Annabeth! Snapchat me a pic of your outfit! We have to look good today!
I roll my eyes at Rachel's text. She can be a diva sometimes but that's what makes her so unique
I walk over to my closet and pick a pretty grey long sleeve shirt and dark skinny jeans. I put on some ughs and send a picture to Rachel. We don't even wear regular clothes that often so I have no I deal why I have to send her my outfit.
"The shirts too plain! Put on that cute sea green scarf you bought at the mall" she types back
I put on the scarf and head to the bathroom. I brush my teeth and my hair. I grab my book bag and gymnastics bag and head downstairs.
"Bye Mom" I yell running down the stairs
When I get to school I run straight to the girls.
"Hey Guys" I say walking into the group
"Hey are you ready for gymnastics? " Thaila asks
"Yeah I can't wait to try my new beam routine! I say
"Let's get to practice!" Rachel Says
We all agree and head to the gym. See we go to a school for people who have a chance of becoming Olympic athletes! People from everywhere come to the school.
"Alright girls we have a fun meet against a local gym to get ready for nationals!" Coach Holly says
We all cheer and start working on our routines! I head over to the beam to work on my routine
"Alright Annabeth let's see it" Holly says
"Okay" I say
I start my routine by jumping onto the beam and landing into a basic handstand. I then do a double layout Full in, Full out. Next I do a back dive with a quarter twist to a handstand, followed by a half pirouette. I also do three illusions and two scissor leaps. I end my routine with a triple tuck dismount but fall.
"Are you kidding me?" I yell hitting my hands on the mat
"Hey Annabeth its okay its a hard dismount " Thalia Says helping me up
"Yeah just try an easier dismount like a front layout full in,full out" Rachel says
"No that won't win me nationals and put me on the national team." I say walking to the beam
"Annabeth go work on your vault please" Holly instructs
"Okay sorry for freaking out " I say heading to wards the vault
I look up and see Piper working on her vault. She does a yurchenko and lands it flawlessly
"Great job Pipes" I say
"Thanks your turn" she says
I stare at the vault and run as fast I can. Holly is expecting me to do a yurchenko like piper but I want to spice things up a bit and try a 2.5 twisting yurchenko. As I do the vault I land hard on the mat and not on my feet.
"Annabeth what on earth were you thinking?" Holly screams
"I don't know I just wanted to try it" I say
"Well don't! You won't be able to land it" she says
I head to floor to work on my floor routine. I watch Rachel as she does an amazing double tuck dismount.
"Wow Rach its looking good" I say
"Aww thanks Annie" She says
I go to the end of the mat and start my routine with a Round off + 3/2 layout + round off + back handspring + double tucked Arabian + front layout.
Round off + back handspring + double Arabian piked + sissone.
Switch ring leap + split leap 3/2. Full spin.
Round off + back handspring + triple twist.
Switch leap 1/1.
Round off + back handspring + double pike + split jump.(Alexandra Raisman - USA : London 2012-Gold medal routine! I love her!)
"Your floor routine is looking good!" Piper says
"Yeah next thing you know I will be better than you on floor" I say
"Holy Zeus if you land that 2.5 on vault you're going to wipe the floor with me" Thalia says
"Well we all know you will never beat me on beam" Rachel announces
"You never know " I say heading to the bars
When I get to the bars I start on the low bar, facing away from the high bar. I casts and performs a free hip circle around the bar, then releases the low bar and is propelled up towards the high bar. She catches the high bar to complete the move. I do a triple tuck dismount and land perfectly
After a hard and long day of gymnastics, the girls and I head out
"OMG! Can reschedule our plans? I'm going shopping with my parents" Rachel asks
"Yeah it's fine! I have tons of homework. " Thaila says
"Lucky! I have to have supper with my dad and his movie cast!" Piper says
"Alright see you tomorrow " I say
"Oh yeah I can't drive you home anymore" Rachel Says
"That's fine my mom can probably pick me up" I say
As I was waiting for my mom to pick me up, a boy my age with raven black and beautiful green eyes comes up to me
"Can I sit here" he asks
"Sure I guess" I say
"What are you sport do you play" He asks
"I'm a gymnast" I say
"Cool! I'm a swimmer" He says
"Percy right?I've heard a lot about you" I say
"Yeah I guess since I'm the captain people may mention my greatness!" he says
"How do you know they weren't criticizing your fly? I say teasingly
"Oh please I'm the best! What about you miss Annabeth Chase, captain of the team and the next greatest gymnast in the world. What makes you better then everyone else? He asks
"I didn't say I was better. I wish I was but I can't get the extra practice. Most people have an event they excel at but I'm okay at them all. I want to do all these hard moves but my coach won't let me do them in practice because she doesn't want me to get hurt but I know with more practice then I will have them perfected by nationals." I say
"I see. Maybe I can help. I could use the extra practice and I just so happen to have an extra set of keys. Give me a call or text sometime and we can work out an extra hour schedule" he says giving me his number
"Thanks! Well my mom's here but I will definitely take you up on the extra training" I say walking away
