A journey to change Autumn

24

I wake up on Tuesday to a strange noise. It sounds like an overused toy you get at Christmas that has rundown batteries. I sit up to hear the noise coming from my alarm clock. Ugh. That means I have to get up for school.

I have dance practice after school today so I pack my bag for it. While packing I feel the pain in my back. I decide to go check on it in the mirror. To my horror I see a big gash across my back. Luckily it has scabbed over so it won't bleed. But it hurts so bad. I guess I will have to dance through the pain.

I get ready for school and for dance. I grab a bite to eat and head to school. The dance team has their first performance on Thursday during the halftime of Tyler's basketball game. We will be performing our dance that were working on right now. The dance includes the stunt that I am scared to death of. I'm just hoping that Sam won't be under me and want to drop me. Today we get to practice the stunt for the first time.

I get to school and head to Tyler's locker. He's not there so I wait for him.after a few minutes Tyler shows up and greets me.
"Hey. What are you doing here?" He asks.
"Just wanted to see you. I have practice tonight to learn the dance."
"That awesome. Good luck."
"Thanks. I will see you later." I say as I walk away.
Math time. Ugh. That's one of the last places I want to be right now but I go anyway. I don't see Sam all day which makes me happy. I hope she won't be at practice tonight so I can enjoy it. But the odds were against me.

"Alright girls let's go over the dance." coach states.

We get into our formation and go over most of the dance that we have already choreographed. She teaches the bases how to do the stunt and then comes over to teach me what I do while being the flyer. It's pretty easy to do but I'm also on top of three other people while I do it. I try not to stress about Sam dropping me but it is hard with her staring at me. Finally we do the stunt. Surprisingly I don't get dropped but I do get nervous being that high up. I try to focus on my dance moves. It's actually pretty easy. Where we go over the rest of the dance and learn it all so that we're ready for Thursday's game.

Before I know it practice is over and I'm walking home. My back hurts because of dance today so I just go home and sleep.

Wednesday is pretty easy. All of my classes don't do much since I had a test and most of them. The day goes by before I know it. I get nervous about the game tomorrow very easily. I try not to think about it but Tyler is nervous too.

Now a days Tyler is with me at lunch. With it being just me and him we get pretty lonely. He doesn't know about my bulling and nobody does. And I don't plan on telling them anytime soon either.

Surprisingly Sam is not here today. Which makes me happy. This week has been crazy but it's not over yet.
