Go live your way Part 2

Ohne Titel Teil3

Zoe and Mia were about to go back downstairs when the boys came towards them. "If we may, we'll sleep with you," grinned Alvaro. Juanma looked briefly at Zoe, she smiled and said "Good idea"

Everyone quickly disappeared into the girls' room without being seen. Since everyone was pretty tired, they snuggled into bed. Alvaro had suggested to Juanma that the Gaspar issue should be abandoned. Juanma didn't know why he was so upset. He tried not to think about it and just enjoyed Zoe's presence.

Everyone rehearsed a lot over the next few days. Their goal was a victory. Alex particularly praised the teamwork, as the groups often watched and helped each other. In the meantime he also had confirmation that the groups were allowed to perform like this. The competition was divided into two parts. One day it was a group and two duos, the next day a group and a duo, then the decision should be made. Alex had suggested that the duo Lola with Sofie and Alvaro with Clara should perform on the first day, plus the group with Nico and Fede, the day after that the group from Lupe and Juanma with Mia.
Since the last exams and tests were coming up, the students had their hands full.
By the end of the week, the parents had also given their declarations of consent so that planning for camping could begin. It was also asked whether some families had camping equipment and what quantity still had to be purchased. However, Mercedes did that with Ramiro. Marcello and Ramiro were chosen as escorts. Nico's mother had also agreed to come, which Nico was not particularly enthusiastic about. But since Mercedes wanted to stay at the school, it was a requirement that a female supervisor was still there and the other female teachers had families and could not leave on the weekend.

The time to the competition passed quickly and before they knew it, they were sitting in the bus on the way to the start. Lupe's group and Juanma and Mia drove along to cheer on the first day. Clara was very excited. She kept talking to Alvaro, who tried to calm her down with an angelic patience. The groups were first. Fede's group had a quick song that they had rehearsed well. In an opposing group, a dancer fell down and the group was disqualified. The third group performance was almost perfect. Lola and Sofie had a piece with a lot of dancing, they had built in some special features and the audience was enthusiastic.

When Alvaro and Clara were called, Clara could not be found at first. Alex asked for a short break. Everyone looked after her and Mia finally found her in the bathroom. She was totally nervous and said to Mia "I can't do this, what if I fall too and we are disqualified"

"Then that's the way it is. Clara, it's a school competition. We'll do our best and have fun with it. And if it doesn't work out then we at least tried it. Come on, I'll take you to Alvaro."

Alvaro was getting nervous too and was glad that he saw Mia and Clara approaching him. He took Clara by the hand and put the other hand on her shoulder. "We can do it, focus on me, ok," he said and smiled encouragingly at her.

Clara took a deep breath and after Alex had said okay, they were called. Alvaro and Clara had a lifting figure twice in their performance, which Clara was most afraid of. But Alvaro exuded such calm that she forgot her fear as soon as they were on stage.

It worked out great, neither of them made a mistake and they harmonized well with each other.

"No wonder, she must succeed with Alvaro," said Lupe, a little mockingly

"Can't you just be satisfied without saying something malicious," Mia said, annoyed.

Lupe wanted to reply something but Juanma had given her a dirty look and she didn't want to cause a stir with an argument during the competition.

Roberto was waiting for Clara backstage. He had come to the competition alone, nobody but Mia knew. Mia had made sure that he came in.
When Alavaro and Clara came off the stage, he was standing there. Clara fell on his neck. "You are here. Thank you." Roberto took her tightly in his arms. "Of course I'm there. I wanted to surprise you."
Mia was happy for Clara. She also waited for Alvaro behind the stage and congratulated him on the great performance. He hugged her and said, "It only worked so well because you were there."

When all the teams were through for the day, the moderator said how great the performances had been and that he would be very much looking forward to the decision the next day. Questions about an interim result came to him from the audience, but he said they wouldn't say anything at this point so as not to destroy motivation.

Mia and Juanma went through their presentation twice in the evening. They were both looking forward to the next day.

In the evening the four sat together in Zoe and Mia's room. Alvaro was very happy that he had made his appearance behind him. He had been unsure about Clara because she had recently lost her nerve. Zoe had her head on Juanma's lap. He stroked her face. Mia looked at Alvaro meaningfully. Alvaro grinned slightly. The boys were wrong with Zoe and Mia again. They were sure that Mauro knew by now, but said nothing. They couldn't be so lucky as having never been caught. It was only important that Mercedes did not find out. Everyone fell asleep relatively early. They were startled when Alvaro's phone rang at 6 a.m.
