Chapter 27 : The competition

Carlos

Today was the competition. It was chaotic in the rink. It started in an hour but everyone was seated already. That's how important figure skating is. Alexa is playing for a different college yet she still wants me to root for her. Our team has been practicing their ass off. Im sure they'll do well. Most of the hockey team were sitting near each other. Liam is mostly stressed about how Daisy is doing. I was just waiting to see Camilla. She's probably the most stressed since she has to do the solo.
Everyone expects her to do well. But i'm not sure if she will, she has so much going on this month hopefully it didn't set her back.

About 30 minutes passed. The judges came and were seated. Meaning the competition would start soon. Willows reputation for figure skating isn't bad. It's better than Duke. They never get set high but still enter. It's a bit embarrassing for them.

"The competition is about to start" that was announced on the rink. First there's the team group. Then then troupe and the solo. The solo gets you the most points. Every college will perform the team group, whoever has the lowest doesn't move on to the troupe. It's quite intense.

"Fourth time entering is Duke"

"They're rubbish" Lucas snorted.

"Shh" Noah whispered, interested.

They didn't perform badly but it was quite a simple routine. Nothing new from them.

"Next is Diversity"

Diversity is good. They're quite intense and serious most of the time which is stupid since it's just a competition. They're always in the finals with Willow or Violette. Alexa's college
Violette isn't bad but they're like the same level as us.

Diversity played well. But most of their choreography is the same. Which gets repetitive.

"Violette"

I guess we're last. Violette played good. They have good teamwork which is important. I think Alexa is the best figure skater so she's always the main thought of the routine most of the time.

"And Willow"

Everyone on our bench starting clapping for them. They came out and i saw Camilla. She looked anxious. But luckily she made up with Gabi so at least someone there will support her. She looked beautiful on the ice. Every move she made was smooth. Our routines never disappoint. They're always creative with their routines which is good. So every year the routine is new and fresh.
After they performed the judges were ready to call out how many points each team had.

"Duke scoring with 10"

That's not bad i guess. At the end of the competition most teams should've have 70-80 points then the judges will decide from there who won.

"Diversity with 20"

That's good for Diversity.

"Violette with 15"

"And Willow with 20"

I'm not surprised Duke is out.

there was a 20 minutes break. We decided to go down to the girls and say good luck. Mostly because of Liam. It's not like i don't wanna see Camilla. But she hates me, and seeing her hate me hurts.

"Daisy you were amazing" Liam smiled picking her up.

I'm not fond of Daisy right now. Especially after she asked Camilla to come to dinner to see her ex. Clearly camilla thought it was just gonna be her Gabi and Daisy.
Camilla looked beautiful. She was wearing a jacket over her costume. But still looked amazing. Her hair was curled. She had defined eyeliner and rosy cheeks. You couldn't really see her face expression since her eye shadow was covering it up. But i was curious to see how she was feeling. I pulled her to the side.

"How are you feeling?" I said holding both of her hands in mine. They were cold, i tried to warm them but she took away her hands.

"Why are you here?" she said annoyed at me.

"I'm trying to be supportive"

"I don't need your support" she sighed about to walk away but i grabbed her wrist gently pulling her into my chest.

"We're gonna have to get along eventually"

"No we don't" she said, walking away

The break was over. Now it was troupes. Our troupe is Gabi, Daisy and Bella. They have good chemistry which gives us a lead.

When Diversity went, theirs was good. Good chemistry, teamwork and they were focused. Which is quite worrying.

Then Violette. They weren't better than Diversity. But they were still good. Of course Alexa was in the troupe. Violette's Coach is very bias. She's not really fair to the other figure skaters. That's why they have a toxic relationship which doesn't lead to good chemistry.

Then it was Willow. We did amazing. Their movement was good and i've never seen Gabi so serious.

Diversity scored with 30

Violette with 20

And willow with 25

Now it's solos. The most intense part..

Diversity was up first. She did ok. Bit disappointing for Diversity. They could've picked someone better.

Then Violette. Alexa was quite good. Better than Diversity. Her techniques were ok.

Camilla was next. She came on the ice already looking beautiful. You could tell she put a lot of effort into her routine. It was clean and smooth.
I honestly don't know who did better.

"Diversity is scoring with 30, in total giving them 70"

"Violette with 50, in total 85"

"And Willow with 42 giving them 87"

Not bad for Willow.

"The winner of the Figure skating competitions is Willow"

Not surprised.

I went to see Camilla's reaction. It was priceless.

Your probably not surprised Camilla win since she's the protagonist. We'll get to see Camilla's emotions next chapter! Who knows if Carlos knows about the bet.
