Chapter 3:

May, 2012

First Day of Training

Olympic Training Center

Coach McIntires Point of View:

"Girls, meet your new teammate, Emily Kmetco" he smiled to himself as he said it. He was not a cruel person but something about shaking things up around here just gave him pleasure. He couldn't let the girls get too comfortable rooming with whomever they wanted to was generous enough of him. Adding Emily to the mix was just what he needed. Also, it challenged his top five gymnasts.

Payson was number one all the time except for when she was out with her back and then working her way back. He had noticed that recently, the young athlete had not been acquiring new skills for competition. He also noticed that this started about the same time that Emily had left gymnastics.

Kaylie Cruz need things to be constant. The reality was at the Olympics, nothing is constant. Many times medals are awarded to people because of some good luck. With Emily here, he reasoned that he could add some spontaneity to the girl's cookie cutter routines, as well as push her to be her best, which is what he was trying to do all along.

Lauren Tanner had seemed just a little bit too easy-going lately. She acted as though the spot in London- which she could easily secure with some hard work and heavy training- was just going to be handed to her on a golden platter. If she didn't change her attitude soon, she would be eliminated before she showed him what she had to offer. It would be just like the 2009 National qualifiers at the Rock for her.

Even though she had repaired her friendships with Payson, Lauren, and Kaylie and her routines were looking better than ever Kelly Parker needed to be messed with as well. It wasn't that he didn't want her to succeed, he did. He went through what she went through, with his dad. What he really wanted to do, was see how she could tolerate the pressure and help her teammates. If she could manage this added stress, of another competitor, there wasn't a doubt in his mind that Kelly Parker would medal in London this summer.

Emily Kmetco has been through hell and back. This girl hasn't had a break her whole life. Her father left when Brian became paralyzed. Her mother has dated just about every man on the west coast. Each man broke Chloe's heart, leaving Emily to pick up the pieces and take care of everything, including Brian. She finally got a break when Marty got her the scholarship, so she could go to the Rock and train. But, even that ended with her getting the short end of the stick. After she placed third at National trials, her coach deserted her. Thankfully, Sasha came and took her under his wing, along with the other girls. Then, her friend broke her back, which really messed with her head and her game. Finally, she got back into her element. She medaled against China, only to find out that her boyfriend left for a world-wide tour for two years and she didn't get to say goodbye, and he thought that she didn't love him. She got her head back into the game until then she happened to be in France the same time he was in France, so she went to meet him. But a "mistake" with her ticket, got her back to the hotel room too late. Ellen Biels caught her and pulled from the competition the next day. Later, her brother started having seizure symptoms, so she went to get his medication but didn't have enough money, so she felt like she had no other choice than to steal it. This lead to her being put in Jail and the having to wear and ankle monitoring bracelet for and exhibition. Then to put the cherry on top of the sundae so to speak, when Darby came and lifted all of the rules, she got pregnant. The choice seemed obvious to her until she found out that she had in fact made the World team, and then she was conflicted and her mother calling Marcus made her feel like she was being controlled again, so she rebelled. Because she chose her baby over her career, her relationship with her friends was history. So then she was pregnant, her boyfriend was history, she had no friends, and she was alone in Vegas with only her godmother.

Jordan Randall was a whole other issue. The girl had trust issues, which was understandable considering her last coach. With Emily here he was hoping that they could develop a friendship. He wasn't completely sure what the reaction from his gymnasts would be, but he was guessing that most of them would shun Emily at first, but Jordan, he knew that Jordan wouldn't. Jordan knew what it felt like to be the new girl and be shunned. That had happened when he first found her and decided to take her under his wing and train her himself.

Wendy's Point Of View:

Wendy smiled to herself. She knew that this girl would blow the concentration of at least Payson, Kaylie, Lauren, Andrea, and Kelly. Maybe it wouldn't last the whole time, but it should last long enough for at least one of them to be eliminated.

Kaylie's Point Of View:

Kaylie had never dealt with stress very well. Emily coming back, she didn't know what she was going to do. She could feel the look of uneasiness creeping on to her face. Emily had always been her biggest competitor. To stay in the game here, Kaylie knew that she was going to have to work her but off.

Payson's Point Of View:

This was good. This is VERY good. Lately, Payson felt like she didn't have anyone to push her. Sasha had been very distant. He hadn't let her come in early and stay late, and when he was with the Rock girls, he seemed distant and he didn't spend nearly as much time with Payson as he used to, before World's. Kaylie, after coming back from her anorexia wasn't as worried about being number one, as she was with having fun. Lauren hadn't been at her level in years. With Emily here, she would be pushed to a new level, once again.

Lauren's Point Of View:

Here she was. Of course, it was the girl who almost ruined her career at National Trials, almost ruined the Rock- the gym that she had spent half her life building up and maintaining with her father. She wasn't quite sure how she felt about this, but she did know that there was no way that this girl was going to knock her out of the competition again. "Watch out Emily Kmetco I'm coming for you, but not in my usual way" she thought.

Kelly's Point Of View:

Kelly wasn't quite sure how to react to this bombshell. Sure, she was surprised but was she angry, happy, excited. Her emotions couldn't quite bring themselves to figure out how she was feeling. She knew one thing for sure. Her friends were going to need her more than ever, and she was not going to let them down ever again, after that whole Kaylie's diary thing. This was her chance to prove to them that her friendship with them was genuine and she would do anything in the world to help them.

Jordan's Point Of View:

Jordan knew about this and judging by the looks on the faces of the girls around her and the sounds coming from their open mouths, she was the only one who knew. She knew that her and Emily would become friends. Jordan did know what it felt like to be the new girl after all.

Coach McIntire's Point Of View:

Coach McIntire chuckled to himself. These girls had no idea what was coming to them. He looked around at his gymnasts faces. Certain girls he knew would instantly be a problem so at the end of the day, he would simply take care of this little problem. He was in charge after all.

He looked at Payson's face. She seemed to be one of the only girls smiling. Maybe she also saw what Emily could offer to her training. That was one good thing. He looked at another one of the hopefuls in the crowd, Kaylie. She looked like she was in full on panic mode. She also looked like she was going to throw-up. He wanted to make her nervous, but not this nervous. He knew that the girl was still shaky from her anorexia, and the last thing that he wanted to do was make her relapse. Lauren had a sly smile on her face, and he knew that this couldn't be good. The girl was notorious for breaking down her competition, even Kelly Parker wasn't a match for her. Kelly didn't really have any emotions on her face. He wasn't sure if this was a good thing, or a bad thing. Then again, the girl was pretty hard to read. When she was retired after the Olympics, she should go on World Series Poker. Jordan seemed like she was happy to see someone that she could relate to. After the bombshell of what Coach Roy did to some of his gymnasts came out, her relationship with Kaylie Cruz started to repair itself, but many of the other gymnasts had lost their respect for her as a gymnast and as a person. Everyone had also been acting eerily cautious around her, as if she were a fragile china doll that could break at any moment.

Now came the next bombshell.

"Girls" he started, he knew that this was going to be extremely difficult for some of the girls, especially the rock girls considering it was also going to be hardest for them, and they had the added part of having their former teammate, Emily Kmetco, and now once again current teammate as an added stress.

" I would like to introduce my assistant coaches, Sasha Belov and Marty Walsh." and at this, most of the girls were surprised again. This was supposed to be a private training camp. All elite athletes who were Olympic hopefuls for the coming cycle were invited to the camp, but it was always run by the coach who was most likely to be the Olympic Coach. That coach had never brought in other club coaches. While they were only supposed to be assistant coaches, usually the head coach used his elite staff from his club to help his as assistant coaches. All the Rock girls loved Sasha. However, Sasha and Marty never mixed well, and the girls had absolutely zero trust in Marty after he had an affair with Ronnie, Kaylie's mom.

Author's Note: This chapter is super long, and I have been working on it forever, so I hope that you enjoyed it! I know that I told some of you that there would be a lot of Sasha in this chapter, but I think that I am going to have to push it back to Chapter 4. Some of you were wondering when Austin was going to come back. He will probably be back some time between Chapter 4, and Chapter 7. I hate when things come to an end, especially stories so this story is in for the long haul. I would like to thank beyoncefan, cricketjo, rainstormslove, soccer4life15, and zabini123 for their follows. It really means a lot to me. I know that someone is reading this way. I would also like to thank beyoncefan and zabini123 again for their reviews on the previous chapter. I love the feedback. I was looking at the traffic chart for my story and I noticed so many of you read, but dont review or follow I need feedback. Just press that review button, or check that follow/favorite box. It would mean a lot for me. Thanks for reading!
