Chapter 2: North Star's Performance
I sat down next to Ethan. Bella sent me a look that asked who was i sitting with. I gestured to Ethan. She sent me a "You go Girl!" With a thumbs up and wink. I blushed and sent her thumbs up back.
"So how about we learn a little about each other?" Ethan asked i smiled at him and nodded.
"Sure, that's a great idea" I happily replied
"Okay, favorite soda?" He asked, I thought for a second
"Sprite"
"Dr, Pepper" He said smiling. I couldn't resist sending one back
"Favorite food?" I asked,
"Pizza"
"Cheeseburger" i said,
"That's cute" He said, I blushed
"Thank you." I said, he blushed when he realized I heard what he said.
"So who's your leadership?" i asked, he pointed to a tall, pale Boy sitting in front of us
"That's my older brother, Jacob, He's Captain and I'm Lieutenant. What about your team?" He asked, I pointed at Jen
"That's Jen, She's our Captain. And I'm Lieutenant" I said smiling at him
"No way, That's crazy!" He exclaimed, i nodded. A vet from another school shushed us. We both chuckled when she turned around.
"Welcome to our District Exhibition for the start of our Competitions!" Sean's voice announced from the floor of the Gym. He had a microphone and was opening the Exhibition.
"Tonight we will show off our young talented Teams. We will be practicing for an audience, for tomorrows first competition!" Sean said, all of the participating Guards cheered and clapped.
"First we have East High School, With their show: Into the Sands of Time." He said, he walked off the floor, to sit with the other directors as the Team came out with their equipment and the huge mat that every team uses. Except every school had their own mat. This mat was painted to look like the sand, cacti,other desert plants and small animals from the desert. IT was pretty cool looking. There uniforms where beige suits and looked pretty good
For the first time i got a good look at Ethan's uniform. He had spiked hair (I was correct about another teams' boys having spiked hair) He had a different style black vest, black pants and jazz shoes, and a nice form-fitting black shirt. It looked really really good on him.
"Hey who's you director?" I asked,
"Sean"
"Sean's our director too!" I said.
"Maybe we'll have a joined practice sometime" Ethan said, sounding hopeful
"Yeah that would be awesome" I said. We both shared a smile. We just couldn't stop doing that.
"East high School guard are you ready." A judge's voice called out, The director for East High sent the signal
"You may begin".
Adventurous music began, the boys began dancing. They had interesting moves, They kept dancing when some girls with saber weaved around them. They did a ripple of triples. (haha that rhymed and i didn't even intend for it to XD)
The girls stopped their Saber feature and the rest of the teams- Including the dancing boys picked up flags. The flags where beige with streaks of bright red. They did some intense work with it that ended in a ripple, so that everyone picked up their rifles at different times. Then they begun dancing with the rifles.
It ended with a girl (I'm guessing the Captain) doing a five spinning around touched the floor an successfully catching it. We all clapped. Guardies always acted a little more enthusiastic than friends and family... Mostly cause we actually knew what the other teams where doing and friends and family usually had no clue what so ever.
East High left, and we watched two other teams perform. One was Oak Wood High, performing some Fall show, (Must go with the name) and another high school called Seaside High doing a Pirate show. I didn't particularly like the pirate show.
"They did amazing" I said, I looked over at Ethan
"They where pretty good." He commented. We locked eyes.
"You have beautiful eyes" He whispered, i blushed crimson
"I'm sorry... But it's true" He apologize.
"That's very sweet Ethan!" I exclaimed softly.
"Hey! North Star! You need to come get your equipment! Your on next!" Sean said, Ethan looked torn but stood up.
"Wish me luck!" He said, i smiled and stood up
"Good luck!" I wished him.
"Can i have a Good luck hug?" He asked shyly, I blushed a little more and nodded. He wrapped me in his strong but nice arms. I wrapped mine around him too. We stood like that for a few minutes.
"Yo! bro! Come on! You can hug your girlfriend later!" Jacob called back. Ethan blushed, and followed his brother.
We where allowed a few minutes before North Star came on. Bella scooted up to where i was
"Spill it!" She exclaimed, an elderly couple eyes her cautiously but resumed a conversation they had going.
"Spill what?" I asked playing dumb, she glared at me
"Don't play that game with me Hannah!" She exclaimed. Before i could say anything The judge called all of us to sit down and to lower our voices. I gave her a teasing shrug.
"This is NOT over! You will tell me everything later tonight!" She exclaimed, ad went back to her seat. I took the advantage to sit up front for this performance.
The guard hustled around setting their stuff up. Ethan unknowingly came up in front of me to set his saber and one of his flag down. He was kneeling but looked up, we locked eyes and he smiled widely. I smiled back and he went back to the center of their mat to talk with the team and Sean.
"North Star High School are you ready to begin?" The same judge asked, Sean sent the signal
"You may begin." The boys all formed a circle around the girls. Who had on black dresses. A girl walked up to each boy and insert their hand in between the boy's arm and side an had painful expressions on. I felt a sting of dislike when i saw an extremely pretty girl paired up with Ethan. The boys whipped around to look at the girls. The girls picked up their flags. Their flags where black with a Phantom on it. The did some complicated stuff with their flags. The boys and girls then raced to sides of the mat to get their sabers. Ethan slid on the mat (Like the other boys) and picked up his saber. He locked eyes with me.
We had an intense gaze. He was almost late, he shook his head and got back in the game. He did complicated work with his team. I was shocked at how graceful he was...
ETHAN (Bet y'all didn't see that coming!)
I slid on my knees to the side of the mat as Sean had the boys do. i slid and picked my saber up. I had a 8 measure hold. I looked up and met Hannah's eyes. Her eyes where truly beautiful. They where a light pale blue (With a hint of grey) that i had never seen before. Light blue had become my favorite color now.
I felt the intensity in our gaze. I was almost late, i got up along with the others and we did a feature that was pretty awesome. We went back to the same spot to get our flags. Hannah seemed impressed. Good.
I picked it up and did a Flourish ripple followed by a double. After a few other things the team broke into dancing along to the dramatic music. My Captain/Brother and i had Solos. Jacob already did his, i was to finish the show with mine.
I grabbed my rifle (Our Rifle feature had already passed) I danced to the center of the mat, and did my solo. It ended with a quad that i picked up and hit the ground with my fists, and then looked up in a dramatic and dangerous/ sexy way. (Sean's words not mine) Right as i looked up the rest of the group whirled around and pointed at me. Everyone clapped, I heard some calling my name.
"Whoo! Go Ethan!" I look around and saw Hannah cheering for me. I felt a surge of energy. We all folded up our mat and took our equipment back out to the foyer.
Sean led us back out to retrieve West River, who as next.
"Okay, Do i get a Good Luck Hug?" Hannah asked, with a fake pouty face that was just adorable. I nodded She wrapped her arms around me and i hugged her to me. We stood like that for a minute before she left...
