Turning Over a New Leaf
Then my dad appeared by my side, 'Bella, your score is coming up soon.'
Suddenly I felt butterflies fluttering in my stomach, my throat became dry. I closed my eyes tight, 'Oh god, please let me get a high score…'
'Isabella Swan, 15.005'
I gasped. 'T-t-that's pretty good right dad?'
'Well, for you, it's amazing I'm so proud of you,' but I could see it in my dad's eyes - disappointment.
I knew with that score, there would be a very big chance that I wouldn't get in the top ten, no matter how perfect I thought my routine was.
Everything was over.
I blew my last chance.
Three months later…
Bella POV
I grabbed my ipod and flipped through the playlists randomly. I sighed as I settled down for the plane ride. The last few months had been such an emotional ride for me. I had placed last on vault and 9th on beam in the nationals. I never even qualified for the bars and floor finals.
My life had taken a big drop after that. It would mean no more worlds, no more Olympic dream. I had screwed up my last chance. There wouldn't be a next time, I was already 17, the next Olympics I would be 23, I would be too old.
So, I decided to turn over a new leaf. My small family was moving with me to the little town of Forks hoping that I wouldn't draw much media attention there.
My mum was going to be a kindergarten teacher while my dad would be a gymnastics coach. As for me? I'm going to be a student at Forks High School. My dad heard of the school's sports reputation and signed me up.
My dad shifted in the seat next to me, 'You know Bella, I was hoping you might want to be in your school's gymnastics team. It'd be fun.'
I cringed, if I did do that I would have gone from being an elite gymnast to a school team gymnast. But I did spend my life having extensive gymnastics training, so why waste it?
'I'll think about it dad.'
Dad grinned at me, 'That's my girl.'
I know my dad had been very upset about me quitting the international elite program. But I had done it so my dad wouldn't have to worry about me anymore, worrying if I was happy, worrying if I would be able to fulfill my dream. Worst of all, he was worrying if he shouldn't have let me done gymnastics in the first place. I kept telling him that gymnastics had made my life so much better even if I wouldn't be going to the Olympics or anything like that.
To distract myself from gymnastics I started the wonder about Forks. I hoped that the kids at school would be nice… but there are bitches everywhere who would be just like Kirsty Daley. I doubt any kids at the school would know that I was an elite gymnast, unless they are one themselves, which would be a good start I guess.
Tired, I drifted into sleep as I flew towards my new future.
I know this was a short chapter I will be writing about things in Charlie's POV in the next chapter and I will update soon (:
I love all my reviewers no matter what you say :D
