I ran my eyes through the gym and spotted her. A vampire. She was very pixie-like. Short spiky black hair and she sported a very small frame. Her leotard was pink and purple. As soon as I walked in,her head snapped towards me. I saw Angela in the corner with whom I assume was the coach.
I gracefully walked over to the coach after I heard Angela being yelled at by the coach with my advanced hearing. He was telling her how he should drop her if she wasn't going to be responsible for getting on time. That was tough. I stood behind the coach who still hadn't noticed my presence. I cleared my throat and the coach whipped around. At first his face was in a frown, but when he saw I wasn't one of his students, that frown turned upside down.
"may I help you?" the coach asked. I nodded.
"Actually, I was interested in joining this gym. I ever prior experience and I'm sure I can take anything you throw at me." I said professionally.
"Well you seem to have it all figured and planned out, huh?" rhetorical question. "Did you think to bring your leotard? You do have to try out first and you need to have everything with you?"
"As a matter of fact, I did." I said.
"Good. Go get changed and we'll see what you got. Angela escort Ms..."
"Swan." I informed him.
"Escort Ms. Swan to the locker rooms and help her get powdered and everything." The coach said. "I'm coach Moss, by the way. You are new here. I haven't seen you around before. By the last name, I assume you to be chief Swan's daughter here from Phoenix?"
"That sounds right. I'm Isabella, but please call me Bella," I said. I stuck out my hand for him to shake. He took it gently. Angela led me back to the lockers. She removed her jacket, pants, and shoes. I removed my clothes and put on my blue leotard. It was beautiful. Especially the back. Angela let me put my clothes in her locker and led me to a dish of powder. I powdered my hands and walked out with Angela to stretch.
The vampire walked over. She seemed very.... giddy.
"Hi! I'm Alice Cullen. Nice to meet you. You'll make the team!" Alice beamed studying me. She gasped. "You have the most amazing colored eyes. They have a gold ring around the chocolate brown part. It's gorgeous." as she said that, I blushed furiously.
"You're eyes are a gorgeous uncommon color. It's stunning." I complimented. She just smiled wider. Her smile could've dazzled me if I was human. The smile was infectious. I found myself smiling just as brightly. Everyone had gone blank around me. To much dazzling for one day. I wasn't the only one who had noticed. Alice seemed shocked and amazed. I stood up and coach walked over.
"I see you've met my best gymnast already. Well you just do a floor routine and I want to see you on the beams and the rails. Do your best. It depends on your performance if I let you in or not. No pressure." He said.
"Usually when a person says 'no pressure', it just adds pressure," I told Coach Moss. He smiled sheepishly. I went back to the lockers and got my Ipod. I connected it to some speakers that were already here. I played a song that would suffice for my floor routine. I hit somersaults, cartwheels, back and front flips, aerials, handsrings, roundoffs, layouts and ended in a front split. Everyone clapped and cheered.
I walked over to the beams and did another great routine. Same with the rails. Everyone cheered. Coach strolled over clapping slowly.
"Very good. I'm afraid Alice may have some competition. You're in!" He said and handed me some papers for Charlie to sign. "Practices are 7:00 to 9:00 a.m. sharp on weekends.4:00pm to five on Wednesday and Thursday." I nodded.
I went to get some water ad a girl about my height walked over. Her name is Jessica. Coach had introduced me to everyone.
"Hi, Bella," she greeted.
"Hi Jessica," I greeted back.
"I just came over here to give you a little message from me and my girls. We like you. We don't want you to fall down the social latter. Don't hang or socialize with Alice Cullen," Jessica warned. How blunt.
"Good to know. Thanks for that bit of information. Can I ask why you think I should keep my distance?" I said. I looked at Alice. She was across the gym. I knew she could hear me and Jessica with that hearing. The smile had vanished from her face.
"Well she kinda weird. The only people she hangs out with are her family. She's even dating her adoptive brother. It's like she has no friends. No one even wants to be her friend. Who would? It doesn't even matter because you can hang out with Nicki, Ashley and myself." she beamed.
"Now why would I want to hang with you guys?" I asked. People like her really disgust me. She was oblivious to the tone of my voice.
"We are the most popular group around. We are the prettiest and we are the best gymnast." She bragged.
"Well I would never in a million years, be friends with you. I think Alice happens to be nice and I'm going to take the time to get to know her. I don't go by rumors and I don't judge people. And just to let you in on a little secret... Alice looks way better than any of you combined. Plus, I could swear I heard Coach call Alice the best gymnast. So you can go stick that fake nose of yours in somebody else's business. Now I'm going to go," I turned and walked over to a bench. Jessica was stunned to say the least.
"Get ready for the worst year of your life Swan! No one refuses us. No one talks to us like that! You'll pay." She yelled after me.
"You can try,"I said so she could hear. I flipped her off as I said it. I continued to walk to the benches. Angela followed along with Alice. We finally reached the bench.
"It's about time that someone told those three off." Angela mumbled. Alice stared at me.
"Thank you," she said in a low whisper. I nodded. "No one has ever stood up for me outside of my family and boyfriend."
"No problem. I hate people that go by rumors and judge people before they get to know them. Besides, I think you're nice." I told her.
"We're going to make great friends." Alice stated. What, could she see the future? I decided to take a look into her mind. She most definitely could see the future. She was also very curious about my heart and smell.
"Well lets go practice before coach says something," Angela suggested. We nodded and strode over to go practice. At 9:00-o-clock Angela, Alice, and I changed in the locker rooms. We walked out to the parking lot together. Angela and I waited with Alice for her sister to come pick her up. I was anxious to meet another vampire.
SHALL I CONTINUE REVIEW PLEASE!!!
