Olympic love deception

Fun begins

"Aaaahhhhhhhh", I scream in my pillow again and again for the past hour

"Should we do something?", I hear Jennie say to Gina 

I don't hear Gina's response just mumbling so I look at them, "You don't understand. I don't like him, he doesn't like me and now I have to look at him every day"

Gina rolls her eyes, "And what a hideous view you will have every single day", sarcasm leaves her mouth 

Jennie comes to my side of the bed, "You have to get out of the bed. That happened yesterday and now is time for our practice", she says stroking my hair

"Who knows how intense the practice will be and you didn't even had breakfast", Gina says changing into her jersey for practice

I lay on my back and think how people looked at me at dinner the nig

ht before, "Everyone just keeps staring and whispers are all around me. I don't like that"

"Ah", Gina lets our her breath, "There are times when I envy your maturity but now you are being a brat"

I sit up to look at her, "Excuse me?"

If anything this is a very normal feeling to have. Anger, rejection and sadness. In my case, it's all in one.

She stands in front of my bed, hands on her hips, "You are in one of the most beautiful cities in the world, playing in the biggest even in your career and your are only 19. With all of that, you were voted the most beautiful woman from our country, making you share the air with a prince and here you are, in bed and screaming and crying"

"I hate you", I say but she didn't lie. Everything she said is true, and that makes me sad even more.

The pride I have of being always prepared, on time and mature enough for them to bring me here was crushed so easily that I even forgot about the game we have tomorrow and here I am in bed, being late for practice.

Taking the covers from me, I turn to them, "I will change, then I will run to the cafeteria to eat some bagel or something and then go right to practice"

They look at each other and then at me, "You should have been mean to her like two hours ago", Jennie says to Gina while looking at me

"Yeah, I don't even know why I play nice", Gina says shaking her head as I head to the bathroom

"Cover for me", I say/yell turning the shower on

"Like that will save you from the 10 laps you will have to do for being late", Gina says before leaving, reminding me of coach Sarah's policy

"Yeah, I shouldn't eat too much then", I say to myself grimacing. There will be throwing up if I am not careful.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Running to the cafeteria is enough cardio I need and yet in the back of my mind I know what is waiting for me after coach Sarah yells at me. Cream cheese and bagel will have to do the job until lunch. 

Tables are almost empty but some of the athletic and volleyball girls are still here, drinking coffee, talking, giggling. I catch some of them watching me but when I try to wave at them they just turn their heads. I should probably just take this to go but if coach sees me with food she will have my head.

Stuffing food in my mouth, I try to eat as fast as I can but not taking tea or water, makes this very difficult to swallow.

A cup of tea appears in front of me, as I look up, Brocks smile is big and bright, "You should really slow down. I'm not that good at CPR if you begin to choke"
