Chapter 2
If I thought the cafeteria was huge the gymnastics gym was just as big. Everywhere you looked people where tumbling or stretching. My green leotard tugged at my skin. I kept trying to pull it loose as I followed Rachel and Lisa towards the beams. Nate was sitting in the stands talking to some of his guy friends. When he looked in my directions he winked and went back talking to his friends. Once again my face became hot.
"Why are you blushing? I'm sure there is no guy you took a liking to so quickly, right?" Rachel asked staring at Nate.
"No. No one yet. It's just quite hot in here." I pulled leotard out a bit and smiled at her.
"The air conditioning is on" Lisa said motioning to the machine.
"Whatever, I have to stretch." Rachel did the splits. Dam I was going to that. Two other girls came and sat with Rachel as she stretched.
"That's Eliza and Carly Madison. They are superb at floor."
After everyone was done stretching Mr. Fisher called everyone to "gather around" as he liked to put it.
"Right so our first meet is coming up in three weeks and our qualifiers for this is as follows, Rachel Leigh, Eliza Madison, Jodie Bennet, and Maria Khan. Lisa Arnold will be our sub. And Emma a word please." He gestured towards me to come to his office.
Lisa shrugged at being the sub; obviously it wasn't a surprise to her or anyone else. She headed off to the beams as I walked off to the office.
"Yes sir." Mr Fisher scratched his head looking at his clipboard.
"Please call me Martin, can't stand the formality. Now I hear you are nationally ranked so I want to try you out for the upcoming meet. What's your best routine and where?"
"My highest scores have been on uneven bars. But I'm pretty good at all of them."
Martin smiled. "Okay let's see a routine on the bars then."
My eyes widen and I glanced over at Lisa who gave me thumbs up. I headed to the uneven bars with everyone's eyes on me. I took a deep breath then started my routine. All I could think about were my parents, how happy their faces were when they saw me perform. How my dad always videotaping me while my mum photographed. But nobody was doing that here. I felt a tear slid down my cheek. I finished off with a double tuck. The whole gymnasium then erupted into loud claps and wolf whistles. I smiled to myself.
"I am glad to say that Emma has joined our qualifiers team." Martin announced then turned to Rachel." Rach you're going to have to sub with Lisa. Since Emma will be taking your place" He murmured so nobody else would hear.
While everyone was congratulating me, Rachel exploded.
"I AM NOT A SUB! I'M AS GOOD AS EMMA! THAT'S NOT FAIR!" She screamed.
She stomped towards the doors only stopping to glare at me. I felt bad that I was only here a day and already having my first meet while people like Rachel have been training for a while.
My thoughts were disturbed as Nate came walking towards me. "Hey your routine was awesome! I tried gymnastics out for like to weeks because Rachel made me" Nate came up and whispered in my ear. I laughed nervously and turned towards him.
"So,"
"So." Nate took a deep breath then looked at me. "Are you doing anything tonight? I was wandering if we could do our homework. Together."
What do you say to a totally hot guy that is super nice that you're really in an undercover spy on a mission trying to protect your roommate from getting killed?
"Sure."
I somehow have to get Lisa to come. And if Lisa comes so will Rachel and her troop of wannabe Rachel's.
"Ah Em I want you to come meet someone. I think you have socialized enough and now its time to meet your fellow spy." Shelley grinned beckoning me to go inside her office.
In replacement of her short red pixie cut. Shelley traded in for a big chocolate brown afro that matched her skin.
"Do you like my hair? I went to the salon yesterday and the thought this would look fabulous on me." I nodded in agreement and stepped inside her office. Suddenly my lungs tighten and eyes widen. There sat the grinning face of my fellow spy.
