"Jean, wake up"
I grumbled and opened my eyes.
"Adam? How did you get in here?"
"Never mind that. But you know the figure skating competition? Eden Hall is looking for talents. Eden Hall is sending fourteen students, ten girls to do a solo and two duets," He said anxiously.
"So?" I asked sleepily "You woke me up at 8am to tell me this?"
"No, I woke you up because the tryouts are at 10am and you need a fresh start if you're going to do well" He replied, dragging me off my bed.
"But I'm sleepy" I groaned, falling back onto my bed.
He sighed, "I didn't want to do this but..."
"No! No! No! Not the tickling!" I whined and tears of laughter streamed down my face.
"Okay, okay! I'll go! I'll go!" I said breathlessly and Adam stopped tickling.
I got off my bed and grabbed a pair of jeans and a shirt.
"Mark my words, you're going to pay for this Adam Banks. Now get out!" I said, pushing him out.
I changed and went down for breakfast. If that's what you call it. I had a nutribar, yogurt, an apple and whole meal bread. Gross! But Adam says its 'good for me and will help me do well'.
"I'll let you know Adam Banks that I had a sugar-coated donut for breakfast on the day of my competition and I still took home the gold" I replied.
"Did you puke after that?"
"Well...yeah, but that's beside the point, it didn't affect my competition" I said, defending myself.
He mouthed a very sarcastic "okay" and I rolled my eyes. I think Adam would make a better brother than a boyfriend. But then again, I wouldn't know.
After breakfast, Adam followed me up to my dorm to get my skates and change into my cheerleading outfit (It was the only thing I could figure skate in).
We walked down to the rink. Hundreds of students had shown up and they all seemed good. I signed up and was going to get ready when I froze.
"What's wrong?" Adam asked.
"I just realized that I don't have a routine and I've already signed up. I don't even have the music with me"
"Well then, maybe you should do some unfinished business"
The unfinished business was the routine that I never did because I heard I had to go to Eden Hall...yes...that one.
"Are you crazy? I haven't done that in ages" I said nervously.
"Finish what you started. What's the CD title, I'll get it from your dorm for you"
I looked into his big blue eyes and nodded "The CD title is I believe by Tata Young
I gave him my key and he was off, I watched him leave before putting on my skates.
Adam's ~POV~
I rushed up to Jean's dorm and opened the door. I ran my fingers through her CD rack: Britney Spears Hilary Duff Ah-ha! Tata Young. I had no idea who that singer was but I didn't have time to wonder. I rushed back to the rink and passed the disc to Jean.
"Thanks" She said, grabbing the disc "just in time too, I'm up soon"
"Jean Wong" Called a very deep voice.
I wished her good luck and she walked onto the ice. I ran up to the grandstands and took a seat. I saw her nod her head at the judges and she got into a pose. Just then the music came on:
Oh yeah I believe See the people dancing Boys and girls...
The rest of the song was a blur to me as I saw Jean skate around the rink. She was fantastic.
I believe I believe in you And that our love is true Oh I believe, I believe
The song stopped and Jean struck a final pose. I could see the judges' smiling faces as she left the ice and I ran down to meet her.
"You were great!" I praised.
"Thanks, but the competition's quite stiff" She replied, gasping for air.
"Sure..." I said sarcastically.
She jabbed me in the arm playfully. I watched her take off her skates and put on her sneakers and we walked back to her dorm. She changed out of her cheerleading outfit and back into her shirt and jeans and we spent the rest of the day doing our homework and studying. Sheesh! A day that started out fun, ended really boring!
Jean's ~POV~
The next two days went by really quick with the piles of homework we were loaded with. I didn't think the third day would be any different as I was walking to History class.
Suddenly "Students of Eden Hall, we have the results of the figure skating tryouts. So, congratulations to Jonathan Bark, Lee Edwin, Meredith Baker, Eilynn Sailor, Meiryl Parker, Alyssa Thomas, Sonia Sanchez, Gamar Ghazali, Leona Lei, Haylie Carlisle, Xenia Track, Hannah Ma, Shermaine Bent and Jean Wong for making the tryouts. Please meet Mrs. Dew for training today at 6pm."
I made the tryouts? I made the tryout! Hooray for me! Oh wait. 5...4...3...2...1
"You made the tryouts," Adam yelled and I saw the Ducks coming at me from all directions and they gave a big enormous hug.
"Ow...Portman that's my rib ca- ow... Connie you're pulling my-" I tried to choke out a few more words but couldn't.
"Okay, give the girl some space" Julie said pushing them away.
I heaved a sigh of relief and walked off for class after saying goodbye to them. As I was walking to class I kept thinking about the competition and call me crazy but I had a feeling something was going to go seriously wrong......
I grumbled and opened my eyes.
