An opportunity gained

Chapter 41

"Well done everyone! Over the next few days we're going to be finding out how has made the cut. For now you can all relax and enjoy the rest of your time here."

I sighed with relief, but part of me was still nervous knowing that my fate was in the hands of the trainers and The Authority.

"You did brilliantly today!" Mark said hugging me.

"Thank you"

"I know for a fact that you and Zach are going to be in the final 50" Wow they had to narrow it down from 260 to 50, there's no way I'm going to get it. "Right we're all going to go out and celebrate!"

"But we haven't been told the result yet"

"I know, but I'm so proud of you both" He said with tears in his eyes. With that we gave each other a hug.

We then made our way back to the hotel room to get ready for our meal.

Mark took us to a posh restaurant where we had a three course meal. I felt like I was on top of the world right now, but there was still a part of me that wasn't getting my hopes up.

"Mark do you know why Nikki ditched me in that match?" It had been in my mind all day.

"Nope sorry. Although I'm guessing she got told to"

"Yeah but it didn't happen with anyone else, so why me?"

"Honestly Sam I don't know, sorry"

I really wanted to get to the bottom of it. But I wasn't willing to speak to Nikki or Eva about it. I could ask the trainers though, because if she got told to I want to know why.
