It was the first day of April when Mom and I drove to The Rock before school. We needed to go in and tell Sasha that I will be doing the interview and that I got a phone call from Mitchell last night who decided that since I have been doing so well I get to jump up to C level skills when Sasha feels I am ready. The gym was actually quite when we went in. The gym was getting ready for National Team practice so we wouldn't have normal practice today or tomorrow. I walked to Sasha's office but saw that Sasha, Ellen Beals, Marty, Emily, Kaylie and Lauren were all in there. I guessed that they were finding out if they would be punished for the Chinese meet. I went down the stairs and waited with Mom. After fifteen minutes the doors opened. I couldn't tell from anybodies face if it was good news or not. The girls came over to me.

"So, what did they say," I asked.

"We all get to stay but," Kaylie started to say.

"My scholarship has been taken away but Sasha said we can work on finding sponsors for me so I can stay, until then I will be able to stay," Emily told me.

"I'm so sorry Em; let me know if there is anything I can do."

"Thanks Pay, we better get out there so we can get on the team to the Texas event."

We all said bye then Mom and I went into the office with Sasha. Sasha sat down at his desk and motioned for us to sit across from him.

"We talked about it and Mom and I have decided that I am going to do the interview, we were thinking of doing it here at The Rock, maybe tomorrow before the National Team comes in if that is ok with you," I said.

"That will work out just fine, I will call Madison and let her know, and then I will let you know what time to be here, is there anything else?"

"Yea, Mitchell called last night to say that he is going to clear me for C level, when you think I am ready."

"That's great Payson, I got a fax from him last night telling me he is leaving going up to C level to me, so on Saturday we will see how you are looking and go from there."

"Thanks Sasha."

"No problem"

Mom and I got up to leave and she dropped me off at school. School felt like it lasted forever today, but it finally ended. I went home and worked on my homework until dinner. Then I helped with dinner. Just as we were about to sit down to eat the phone rang, it was Sasha telling me to be at The Rock at 6 am for my interview.

I woke up at 5 this morning to get ready. We are going to do a photo shoot along with the interview. I am supposed to wear my hair down, my Rock leotard and warm up suit. We got to The Rock a few minutes before 6 and the photographer was all ready to go. Madison came over and shook hands with Mom and me and introduced us to the photographer. She explained that we would do the photos first so nobody will come in and see us. The first shoot was of me standing on top of the beam in my warm-ups and hair down. I faced the camera with my hands on my hips and my left leg turned to the left side, bent at the knee and my pointed toe of the beam. The next shot was me in my leotard sitting on the vault. The last one was me in my warm-ups standing between the bars leaning against the lower bar. After the photo shoot Madison and I went into the office to do the interview. We talked for an hour or so. We talked about my coach, family, teammates, my accident, and recovery and how I felt about my comeback. At the end we shook hands and I left to change into my clothes for school before anybody from the National Team came in. As I walked down the stairs I saw Marty. He must have decided to come in early. Panicking that he may see me I looked around for a place to hide but couldn't find one. At that moment Marty looked up and saw me.

"Hey Payson, I was hoping I would run into you," Marty said.

"Look Marty I already told you I am not interested in coaching," I said hoping that he would not realize what I was wearing.

"No, not about coaching, I heard you are making a comeback, I wanted to tell you if anybody can do it you can, and you are one of the best gymnasts I have ever coached. I want you to know I would be happy to have you come to Denver Elite."

I was so shocked I wasn't able to say anything, once I was able to talk this is what came out. "How did you find out, my comeback is supposed to be under wraps?"

"I know and I won't tell anybody, but I heard it from Ellen, she found out about it."

"Do you really think I want to train with you and Kelly Parker?" I asked in a disbelieving tone.

"Just give it a thought Payson,"

"Ok," I said as I turned about to go to the locker room.

"Oh and Payson," Marty said behind me. I turned around. "Good Luck."

"Thanks Marty."

I hurried to the locker room. It wasn't like I was going to really consider going to Denver. I couldn't leave The Rock, I love it here, I thought as I was getting ready. Even so it was flattering to get an offer, even if it is from Marty. It's not like I have never gotten offers from other gyms. When I was 11 I started to get recruitment offers. My family and I ultimately decided to go with The Rock but I had many more offers from Houston, Boston, Denver and Cincinnati. We decided to go here because of the family atmosphere and they had the best coach, plus Dad could get a job here. Two years before Nationals I started getting offers again and it got even more when I was seated #1 at The Rock and then Houston tried to get me after Marty left. Of course after Nationals the offers stopped, but it did feel good to get asked again. The only thing that would be good about Denver was Nicky, and he went there to get away from the drama that I was a part of. Anyways I couldn't leave Sasha and the girls, they were my support system and I would feel lost without them. Still it is flattering.
