( balance beam routine 👆🏻 )

I finished my routine on the beam. This was our last competition till finials. I was extremely proud of myself for this routine. I was currently sitting with my team waiting for places to get called.

" hello everyone and thanks for joining us for the semi-finals. " The announcer says then after everyone clapped. " let's start with places for the beam. In 3rd place with an 14.8 is Mackenzie Winslow from Riverend highschool." Everyone clapped again as she got on the stand and received her medal. " 2nd place with a 15.7 is Ally Smith from Westfield highschool. " everyone repeated what they did before. I started to get really nervous.

" 1st place with a 16.0 is Amaya Goldman from Westfield highschool. " I got up from my spot with a smile. I was really proud of my self. We stood there for awhile, for people to take pictures. After that the announcer had us stay up there for longer then normal.

" we have someone here to give a special speech to our first place winner. " I looked confused at the announcer. He gave me a smile and handed the mic to a person that I couldn't make out because they were turned around. They both hugged and then the person turned around.

It was Shawn.

" um hi Amaya. Wow is this scary. I want to tell you that I'm um in love with you. " he stopped for a moment but wasn't looking at me. " I would like to ask you to be uh my girlfriend. " I got off of the stand and came over to him. He started to speak again. " before you answer just know, I have been in love with you for a while now. I love your smile and personality. I don't ever want to lose you. " I giggled at him at first but then hugged him. " I would love to. But even if you asked me in a simple way I would of said yes. " we both laughed and I had to go back to my team.

After we did the uneven bars and floor. The announcer came back and did the places. I got 2nd for floor with a 15.6 and 3rd for bars with a 14.8. I knew I was going to finals. I'm ready for it too. But to be honest with you, this whole time I couldn't stop thinking of Shawn. What if I only got first place because shawn's plan to ask me out.

" good job, honey " my mom says hugging me and then kissing my cheek. " what did I tell you about Shawn " my father says also pulling me into a hug. I rolled my eyes at him and picked up my gym bag. " Amaya! " I heard someone yell my name. I turned and it was Shawn. " can I give you a ride home? " I turned to my parents and they nodded their heads.

I walked with Shawn to his car. " did you pay them or something to put me in 1st place? " i kept looking out the window to avoid eye contact. " honestly no, I came there last minute because I wanted to ask you but I didn't know how. Dylan helped me. " I smiled to myself. He grabbed my hand then lifted it up and kissed it. I'm so glad I have him.

We sang along to the song on the radio. " I didn't you could sing " he said to me. " you're not to bad yourself. " I giggled at him. We heard cheap thrills by sia come on so we started yelling out the words.

After what felt like 2 minutes but was really about 15 we reached his house. " I really do love you " he said. He was itching the back of his head. "  I love you too. " I said to him. We both looked at each other. I leaned in and kissed him. We were kissing for a good minute until there was a knock on the window. It probably mad me jump 5 feet.

Shawn rolled down his window. " I thought you too weren't dating? " it was just Aaliyah. " no we are dating now. " she nodded her head and left. " well I should probably leave now. " he leaned in for one more kiss and I gladly accepted. We both said our goodbyes and went to our Separate homes.

" so how was the ride home? " my mother asked right after I opened the door. " good. Really good. " I say setting my gym bag near the stairs so I can take it up when I go to bed.
" did you guys kiss? " I looked away immediately. " mom, why would you ask that? But I'm mean yes" I say still not looking at her. " aw my baby is growing up. " she squeezed my checks. " ugh mom please " I get away from her grip. I grabbed a banana and started to eat it.
" I'm proud of you " she just kept staring at me. I hate when people stare. " thanks mom " I look back at her hoping she would turn away but she still hasn't yet. " please stop staring at me. " she looks away finally. " I'm sorry, I'm just thinking. " she grabs a banana too. " about what " she lets out a sigh.

" you know your older sister won't be happy"
" fuck her "
