You met my mark. Here you go. But before I give you the story, I'm going to let you know that if you complain about my mark, I will raise my mark by 2. I'm sorry, but it just really bugs me. And your new review mark is 20.
Max POV
The game was a real good one. We won 5 to 3. Blaze scored three goals giving her a hat trick, and I assisted her on two of them. I scored one, which Blaze assisted me with. And let me tell you, both of the school's had most of their students cheering their school on. Sally did her job, and stopped as many goals from going in as possible.
By the way, Blaze is the left wing on the first line, and I'm center. Our right wing is René Devin, and our defense is Kali Malcolm on the left side, and Petra Hollow. We are the main line of the team. Basically the goal scorers.
After the game, our team manager concluded that we had a season of 67-0-0. We were undefeated with only a few games until we went to Nationals since we won state and district. We were headed to New York, New York.
We were all allowed two people who were not on the team and weren't busy with us. I chose Chris and Nudge, naturally. Who else would I take? Blaze was taking her twin giant, Bruce, who had issues with being too big, and Tony.
We were going on an air-bus, which was a giant airplane that has a food bar in it. Of course the spin chairs by the bar had to be safe for the passengers though, so they have backs and seatbelts. I really didn't care.
But that was still far away. Sally had to ride with us, because her parents didn't believe in dancing the way we do, so they don't even bring her.
René and Kali, who are the last two girls who joined the mixed group carpooled and drove together were going to follow us to Malcolm High. We all had to tease Kali about that. She gets so annoyed so easily we couldn't resist.
When we got there, all of the Malcolm students and the Bankton students were all sitting on the bleachers, waiting for the match to begin. This was going to be fun.
Blaze POV
Ok, before I tell you how the match for mixed went, I'm going to tell you how it works.
There are 3 rounds, the singing round, the dancing round, and the mixed round.
In the singing round, your team has to sing without moving, though swaying and moving your hands and head are allowed. You can have your whole team singing, to just one person singing, that is up to you. If you dance, points are deducted, if you mess up, points are deducted(and they have the lyrics to your song with them so they will know), but if you sing well, and you can make the song your own, you get points added to your score.
In the dancing round, your team or some members must dance to your music. The music cannot me the artist's voice, it has to be someone's from your team, which is why we did the Heaven recording this morning. You cannot move your mouth, your dancing must go with the song, and you cannot mess up, and you have to have at least three dancers out there, or points will be deducted from your score. If you have stylish moves and creativity, your moves match the song, and the audience liked it, you will get more points to the total score.
In the mixed round, you have to sing and dance at the same time. Basically, it's the same rules from both of the above, except you are allowed to move and sing. This is the trickiest, because all of the voices must blend in with each other, and you have to have your whole team out there.
You have five judges who talk about haw you did, and give you a grade. The highest grade that you can get is 150, but the highest score ever recorded for a mixed match is 106, so its not going to happen any time soon.
Anyway, Max and I did the singing round together. We sang We Belong by the Pat Banatar. We even prerecorded the guitar stuff, and did it ourselves. We kept the bass and the orchestra parts the same. I play drums and I taught Max how to play guitar, so it worked out. We ended with a total of 89, which is pretty good since you start with 0 points. As a matter of fact, that is the best we have ever done in this round.
We rocked and got a 97 for our "Heavenly" performance, as one of the judges said. We did a dance that told a story of couples being together. In all, our team consists of 13 people. We have 5 girls and 8 boys. We only use 3 girls and 4 boys for this round. Me, Max, and René had to dress in blue cami's with jackets with short sleeves and only goes halfway down, and them jean capri's, then black high-tops. Our sponsor just so happens to Rave the clothes store, so we get free clothes for our matches. We have to wear the same thing through all of the rounds, but whatever.
The boys were Chris, Tony, Sally's boyfriend, Derek, Kali's brother, Mark, and Aaron. The boys wore tennis shoes, jeans, and black T-shirts. Lucky.
The couples were paired together. Unfortunately for Kali, so were brother and sister. That had to be uncomfortable to pretend that they were together. Aaron is alone, though, because his girl doesn't dance or sing.
Anyway, in the last round we the boys sang Kiss Me Thru the Phone. It was so funny. They even split the parts into groups. They sounded pretty good. We got a 91. In all we had 277 points.
We beat Malcolm my 38 points, putting us in second in the state of Wisconsin. Not bad.
We dropped Sally off first, then Chris, and then Max. Tony came home though. He did a lot. He usually just slept in our guest room.
I pulled into our driveway, and grabbed my hockey gear so I could take it into the house. Tony insisted on carrying my bag. I had to take him up on that offer; I mean my shoulder was killing me. He dropped it in our coat hall where everything that we don't want in our rooms goes. We headed up the stairs to my room and the guest room.
I hate that the two bedrooms I'm in the most are on the third floor. I have to drag my butt up two flights of stairs all the time.
Anyway, when we got up to my room we sat on the couch and watched Another Cinderella Story starring Selena Gomez and Drew Ceely. Its my favorite movie and Tony really doesn't care.
In the end we kinda made out for ten minutes. What, there is nothing wrong with that. We've been together for six years. Eventually, Tony had to go to the guest room because of the rule of no couples in the same room after ten.
I pulled myself into my pajamas, and crept into my bed. Sleep seemed like a blanket, and it was inviting me to snuggle in. Of course, eventually, I had to surrender, and sleep developed me.
