I'm One of You Now - A Coral Girl Fanfic || COMPLETED

"Rise and Shine sleepyheads!" I heard a squeaky voice say. "Ugh, Sammy, really?" I asked annoyed. "Don't really me! Liv and Annie told me to do it!" Sammy pointed to Liv and Annie. "Really guys?" I asked them playfully, rubbing my eyes. I looked over at Katie. "How in the world is Katie still asleep after that?!" I half-screamed. "Haha, I have no idea," Liv said. "Katie... wake up!" I shook her. I said "Katie" soft and screamed the "wake up!" part. "I'm up!" Katie jerked awake. We all laughed. "What? Did I sleep through something?" Katie asked, tiredly. "Yes," Annie told her inbetween chuckles. "Oh. Haha," Katie said sarcastically. "Wait! What day is it?" Liv asked, in a scared way."Monday, why?" I said. "Oh my gosh!" Annie, Liv, and Katie said. "What?" I was so confused. "We have practice today!" Liv exclaimed. We all scrambled around to gather our leotards. I ended up with Annie's leotard. We quickly grabbed our own leotard from each other. We changed in bathrooms or a room. I had on a pink, green, and purple camo leotard and white Nike pros. I put on a random white and pink jacket which was Sammy's jacket, but whatever. Dad was at work and Mom was out shopping for groceries. I guess we're taking the bus. We had to take Sammy because we can't leave an eight year old girl at home by herself. I had some money and then went to the bus stop. The next bus was at 9:20. It's now 9:15. Only five more minutes. Gym starts at 9 on Mondays.

Finally, the bus came and we gave the bus driver the money. "Do you go to 1st Class Gym?" Liv asked. "No, but since you're the only ones on the bus I guess I can take you there." I sat next to Katie and Annie and Liv sat in the row in front of us. Sammy sat on the row across from me and Katie. Ten minutes later, we arrived at 1st Class. "Thank you!" I told the bus driver and hopped off the bus. The place was pitch black and the front doors were locked. Annie used her key (really, it was the key under the mat that said "1st Class" but she said she put it there) to get us inside. We found a note that said, "No practice today. Coach Mary has some things to take care of." "How come we didn't know about this?" Katie asked us. "I knew, I was just going with what you guys were doing," Sammy said. We all facepalmed. "And you didn't say anything?!" I half-yelled at Sammy. "I was just going with what you guys were doing." "Ok anyways, since we're here, we can at least practice a little bit. Since we're here," Annie suggested.

Annie: hey guys so we're at gym... with Liv, Steph, and Katie. The gym was closed but we got in and a note said there was no practice that we had no idea that there wasn't. But since we're here we're just gonna have fun here and practice. *turns on lights for gym* Here we go!

"So, floor?" Annie asked everyone, including Sammy. "Yes!" we all replied at the same time. Sammy was doing her  roundoff bh bh, and we were doing roundoff bh full twists and roundoff bh back layout. I got a text from mom.

Mom: Where r u?

Crap. I forgot to tell my mom that we're at the gym

Me: Sorry mom! Gym got cancelled but we didn't know so we took the bus to 1st Class. Sry mom. I'm practicing with Annie, Liv, Sammy, and Katie. Can you pick us up in about two hours?

Mom: ok thanks for telling me after. Cya in 2 hours.

Phew. She's not mad. At least I think so. After doing flips and tricks, we went on the trampoline and did so many tricks in a row! It was so much fun hanging out with them.

Afterwards, we decided to get some breakfast at Dunkin Donuts. We each got a donut and a drink.

"Guys, this might be the right time. I have something to say," Liv started saying. We all looked at each other and then at her.
