Later that night, I get a text from Allie, Kiaya, Liz, Bella, and Alaina all almost right at the same time. In fact, I can't even open them because they keep getting interrupted by the next one! I can tell the something good is happening up in Atlanta. Finally, they stop and I open Kiaya's first. It reads:
WE JUST FOUND OUT THAT WE HAVE A TOURNAMENT IN ORLANDO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
Liz's reads:

Bella's reads:

Alaina's reads:

"We know." Mom says. I run back upstairs and mark my calendar.
