Ava's POV

"... 700!" And our entire section bursts into screams. I GOT A PERFECT SET SCORE! I STILL HAVE A SHOT AT THE TOP SPOT! I'm crying. Moms crying. Sadie's crying. Erin doesn't know what's happening so she's crying too.

If Brynn gets a really high score she could get 1st or 2nd... I hope Lucy is back up next to me though...

"Competitor 203: 693." And I hear screams erupt from her section like they did from ours seconds before.

Mia's number is coming up soon. She hasn't had the best scores but she's definitely not last...

"Competitor 235: 276." I give her a side hug and she whispers "Not quite your 700 but it'll do..." in my ear.

Brynn... Brynn is the only one left.

"Competitor 256: 643." Omg that's higher then Izzys... This is such a tight competition...

"And now our overall scores. Competitor 103: 846. Competitor 105: 1968." Omg That's so good. It's so close between me and Izzy I can't call what it'll be, but I know it'll be her and me up there on 1st and 2nd...

"Competitor 120: 1876... Competitor 123: 1504... Competitor 142: 1871... Competitor 179: 1578..." As it gets closer to my number, the room is so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Everyone, not just me and Izzy, wants to know if somebody is gonna beat the 2 time champion... "Competitor 192: 853. Competitor 193: 1969." Everyone around me erupts into screams then I realize I did it again! I WON WORLDS! BY ONE POINT! We quiet down so everyone else can hear theirs scores.

"Competitor 203: 1871." And I hear Lucy's group start screaming. "...Competitor 235: 857... Competitor 256: 1922..."

Im crying I can't believe I won worlds again!

"And your 2021 World Champion, Competitor 193 Ava Peterson from the O'Hannagan Academy, Southern Region, USA!
In 2nd place competitor 105, Isabel Sanders from the McKinley School, Mid-America Region USA!
In 3rd place, Brynn Clint from the Moore School, Western Canada.
In 4th Place, Adelaide Beaumont from Scoil Rince Na Québéc, Eastern Canada!
In a three way tie for 5th Place, Lucy Collins from the Marie-Shea Academy, Western Region, USA, Violet Rogers from Scoil Rince Na Seaimpíní, New England Region, USA, and Taylor Bradley from the McGuigan Academy, Mid-Atlantic Region, USA!" WE ALL GOT THE TOP 5!

I keep watching for what all my other friends will place. "In 9th place, Baylee Crewe from the O'Hannagan Academy, Southern Region, USA... In 12th place, Ruby Payton from the O'Hannagan Academy, Southern Region, USA... In 22nd place, Mila O'Donnell from the Francis O'Donnell Academy... In 45th place, Mia Peterson from the O'Hannagan Academy... In 47th place, Fiona Murphy from the Scoil Rince Na Seaimpíní..."

Mia is a but disappointed because she got 17th last year. She's not showing it but we have a twin sense.

"Girls, We cannot start awards until everyone in the 13-14 competition is backstage. Most girls are but we are still missing some. Oh crap that's us. We aren't down there yet! I get on my dress and me, Mia, Ruby and Baylee all walk over to where we go together. We go up to the lady backstage.

"Okay Ava you'll go up on those stairs and girls you guys can come with me." She says. I go up onto the stairs but there's no one else, everyone else is in a hallway. There isn't a lot of space backstage so I get it... but I'm still lonely...
