We had to take Emily to her gym because Cali doesn't have a mini youth level 1 team. She was on a mini youth level 1 team as a flyer. Jack was on the youth level 3 team at Cali too. She has a cute little red uniform with a red sparkly bow. She is so tiny so she is a flyer. The car ride to Cali was too quiet. Eddie doesn't joke around like usual neither does Orby.  "Jack go inside." Eddie orders. Jack opens the door carrying his bag and shoes. The door slams shut behind. I start to unbuckle but Orby and Eddie turn around. "Jade I need to tell you something." Orby says softly. I nod and he continues. "Jessica....., the girl on Swat died in a fatle car accident and they want you to fill in, is that okay." he asks. I nod. I had known Jessica, she was on my level one and two team. A tear dripped down my cheek as I walked into Cali to have my first practice with Swat.

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 the counts rang in my head as I practiced Jessica's stunt for Swat. I practiced the pyramid and any other stunt but baskets because I did them on the trampoline. The Swat's routine was hard and they had three of the harshest coaches ever with an exception of Eddie and Orby of course. My flexibility was getting stronger now that I had more practice time. I was still one of the smallest flyers on Swat. My bases felt like giants. I was still pretty short for my age. Cara one of the other flyers is the tallest and least flexible. The youngest on the team is Addie. She is 8 years old and is like a rubber band. She has no bones practically.
