Go live your way Part 2

Ohne Titel Teil186

Alex congratulated Juanma and Mia very effusively the next day in Go. He praised them in front of the group and emphasized again that both performances had led the school to the top

"The next one is a solo. I spontaneously think of Lupe and Mia. Would anyone else want to demonstrate something that we can choose from?"
Silvia answered and Lola asked "Can Martina still perform for us?"
"Unfortunately not Martina, not with things like that, because she is no longer a student here. Silvia, it's nice that you get in touch. I'll give you all a song that you haven't performed yet. You have until Wednesday to take it over, then the three of you will each perform it and the group will decide, ok? "
Everyone nodded. He gave all three of them a note with the song "No tears anymore". Mia started rehearsing that afternoon. She practiced in Zoes and her room, and Alvaro, Zoe, and Juanma watched. She had to get used to the text in English, but she managed it well.

Juanma was also more fit again and participated in daily training for the game.
"Don't do too much, if you still feel not ok, okay?" Said Alvaro.

Juanma took too many of these pills for his liking and he decided to ask Mia how many of them she still had. The training went well. Marcello took over on Monday alone and he called Juanma over after training.

" How are you?" asked he
. "Good coach, almost fit again, I can definitely play on Saturday."
"I'm not asking you as a coach right now. You know you can talk to me if anything should be wrong, right?" Juanma smiled at him and nodded. "Thank you Marcello and thank you for being with mom all the time. She tells me every time on the phone how happy she is."

"She's worried about you because you weren't doing well."
"I know I told her it was just a cold." Marcello nodded.

"She would have liked to have been there on Saturday. But even Ramiro didn't manage to get tickets for us. I'm sorry we weren't faster."

Juanma nodded. "Everything ok, I know."

When Juanma left, Marcello watched him go for a long time. He hoped it was really just the cold, that he had the impression that something was wrong with Juanma.

Time passed quickly and it was Wednesday. Alex listened to all three singers. "I'm now handing out pieces of paper on which everyone writes a name for the three. Then we'll count the votes at the end. I'll stay out of it for now."

When everyone had written down a name, Lola collected the pieces of paper again. Alex sorted them and counted the individual stacks. Mia had won. When Alex announced it, Alvaro took Mia in his arms. Lupe grimaced sourly and said "That was clear again."

With that she left the room. Alex said "If you see her later, please send her to me. Silvia, you were good, but you are still new to the group. Don't take it personally.

When Lupe went to Alex later, he sat with her on a pile of mattresses. "Lupe, I thought we were past this point. You have made such great progress in everything, what  is wrong with you."

"It's always Mia, Alex. She always gets everything, everyone likes her."

"I deliberately stayed out of the choice. I thought you both were good, but honestly, Mia's charisma is more natural. She doesn't try to win, she sings because she enjoys it. You've worked so well on yourself . Keep doing this and don't fall back into old patterns. "

Lupe nodded. But she couldn't get out of her skin. She didn't hate Mia so much anymore, but she still had the feeling that she was taking everything away from her. Gaspar had discussed the subject with her many times before, but she couldn't resist this feeling.

When Marcello announced on Friday after the last training session that they were ready, that he believed in the team and that he knew they would make it, Alvaro and Juanma hugged each other for a moment. It was going to be a tough game, but they would do their best.

In the evening Mia walked a little through the park with Alvaro, she had taken him by the hand and said "I'm looking forward to watching you play tomorrow."
"I'm looking forward to play," laughed Alvaro.

"Are you nervous before the games?"
"Sometimes, but if I will be , it won't come until tomorrow."
"I'll be there and cheer you."
"I know, and that's what drives me to win," said Alvaro. He put his arm around her and kissed her. "Do you still give Juanma those pills now and then?"

"Yesterday. Why?"
"I have the impression he takes it a lot."
" It has become less and less from day to day. He says he still has a headache in the evening, but he's not warm or anything. "
Alvaro nodded." Just make sure he doesn't take too many. He wants at all costs that we don't notice when he's not doing well. You are, maybe with Zoe, the only one where he allows to see, so please pay attention, ok?" Mia nodded.
