The Uprising

Chapter Six--Emma

     Ha, ha! My chapter! All mine!
            
Okay, let me tell you what happened that day. Like Lisa said, Ina registered us for school. BAYA is huge. I was really nervous because I had never been to a been to a boarding school before, but I was excited more than afraid. 

                Lena, Lisa, Annabelle, and I raced to pick out a dorm. Annabelle and I got the top floor. The dorms are gigantic. It had two living quarters, like a duplex house, and a kitchen and sitting room. One living quarter was upstairs, and one was downstairs.

                After that, we met Rudy and Katelyn and ate lunch. We also met Pierre. Lisa went to volleyball tryouts.

                 Yay! The boring stuff is over! After volleyball tryouts, we all went to rhythmic gymnastics tryouts.

                Coach Maria, a young, dark haired woman from Bulgaria, seemed pretty nice. She made us do some leaps and flips across the floor, and then just watched us as we practiced
whatever we wanted.

             "My aerials are better than yours!" Annabelle told me. "No way!" I yelled. Annabelle crossed her arms. "Oh, really?" she asked. "Just watch."

              That started the aerial competition. Annabelle was better than me with nothing, except  with a ribbon, ball, hula hoop, and batton. I was better. So now we know I'm the better Rhythmic Gymnast. But Annabelle is better at artistic Gymnastics. Anyways, we made it on to the team! Guess what! I am the team captain! Finally, all those hours of painfully stretching.......and more painful stretching.......more........and more pain, have paid off! I knew never to doubt it, I mean I only broke one bone! I'm so lucky! I could have broke my collarbone or even my spine!

          What always got on my nerves is when people got out of breath walking two miles. Annabelle and I run three miles every day! Also, people smoking gets on my nerves. I mean, you are ruining your body. Also, you're polluting other people's air! But drugs! They are just the worse. Also steroids, unless needed. Just don't get me started on drugs!

        Well anyways, we went back to our dorms.  I was really excited for that weekend. Katelyn would be staying with us, and Esme was coming! We started stretching for dance.

        You know what happened at dance. Well, you should! Now we are done with all those boring stuff, so let's get started on the present. So we came out of dance and ran, mainly because Annabelle didn't want to have to talk to Erik. Also, we didn't know if Capture the Rudy was still going on.

        "You know what we need?" I asked in between breaths.

       "What?" Annabelle asked between breaths.

       "A moose!" I said nearly choking from the laughter.

      We made it back into the dorms. They were surprisingly empty.

      "Why are the dorms.....empty?" Annabelle said.

     "Yeah, where is everyone?" I asked.

     "Attention! For the second time, all students report to the auditorium," said Ms. Random Lady.

        "What do you think it is?" Annabelle asked.

        "Probably some kind of welcoming." I said.

         To be honest, I wasn't exactly sure the meeting was about that. This wasn't exactly the first week of school. At least not mandatory.

        "Well, let's get moving!" snapped  Annabelle. I finally realized that I had been staring at a painting of a blue cat. I need that cat.
