Olympic love deception

Dream Come True

"Everyone settle down", the talking between each other stops as soon as we hear coach Sarah speak, "We have half an hour till our plane is ready. So let's sit tight and enjoy this free time we have"

Only she can call this a free time. We already know that when we land, it's eat, shower, train, gym and sleep. That will be for the next two weeks until the games begin. The hard part hasn't even begun and I already know my body is going to hate me at the end.

"Do you think there will be two or more beds in one room?", Gina asks like we know anything about our hotel

Hotel is a wrong word. Our building. Every country has it's own building and we are glad they didn't forget about us. If we didn't have a royal family, I don't think they would even care. Even if every team qualified, I doubt they would hold one place for us.

Our gate is number 5 and there are a lot of people here. Men's and woman's basketball team is here, same as for volleyball, gymnasts are all here as well as archers and a couple of teams for ice-skating. Nice little bunch if you ask me.

"Gina, we will know when we get there. Nobody knows anything about our stay there", our captain Melissa says, "One thing is for sure, girls and boys will be separated"

A few sighs is heard but Melissa only gives us dirty glares, "That is a rule. There will be nothing between any of you and them. Keep your head in the game", she continues

"There goes your love life, Melissa", Jennie jokes as I try not to laugh at that

"But we have a prince sleeping in the same building with us and we can't even go to say hello?", Gina mutters

At that I can't hold myself anymore, My laugh is out before I can even control myself, "And what will happen? He will fall in love with you and you will become our future queen?

"Everything is possible, mini. Everything", that earns her a rolling eyes from me. For her words and for that nickname. Almost everyone in our team calls me Mini because I am the youngest and the smallest one. 

I try to think about that but it's just a ridiculous thing that doesn't happen to anybody, "Sorry to burst you bubble, but we all know that is anyone is going into his room that is one of the volleyball girls, and you already know which one that is", Jennie says as we all try to not look obvious to turn towards Kylie, the captain of the women's volleyball team.

The typical blond, tall and pretty volleyball girl but thank God not a mean girl. I don't know her personally but Leo does and he thinks she is pretty cool. 

"I heard she was groomed her whole life just so she could marry Theo. They are childhood friends or something", one of our girls says

"That's weird if you ask me", I say still trying not to look at her but who can not want to be with her? With that body, mind and good heart, I would be down for her to be our future queen.

"Layla, did you do a report on the Greece team? I don't think I have that file", Melissa bring me back to reality

Great, now I have to dig through a big pile of papers in my bag, "Just a second, let me find it"

"I still can't believe you like to make reports and stats that much that you made for every team that will compete", Gina says trying to look down on me like always

As I give Melissa everything I have on the Greece team, I turn to Gina, "Laugh all you want but my stats and everything I remembered about every team we faced is what got us qualified in the first place"

It's her turn to roll her eyes as she avert her gaze to the boys basketball team as someone approaches and by the girls heart eyes, I know who that is.

"Layla, I can't believe you are really here with us", Brock, my neighbor and childhood friend says
