Sam's jade green eyes glimmered as she spotted you waving at her from the bleachers.
She warmed up and took a couple swings from her sports-bottle, beads of water sneaking onto her unitard.
Even from the other end of the sports hall, the wide and welcoming curve of her smile was easy to spot.
Sam blossomed with confidence, Why? Because she had trained long and hard for this event and because all her friends were here to support her- And especially because you were here.
She knew you liked her- and this totally wasn't due to the fact that Josh just happened to accidentallyoverhear you confiding in Hannah and telling her about your secret crush. And Josh definitely did not blurt it all out to Christ by accident- Nope, totally didn't happen.
But what the didnt make it to the circle of friendly gossip was that Sam liked you too.
She just had quite a knack at keeping secrets.
The other competitors and judges assembled in their respective slots as you and your friends nestled into your seats. The tournament was to begin.

Josh had wedged himself between Sam's other two best friends (you and his sister Hannah-) Beth sat on the other side of Hannah, Chris and Ashley behind Josh, Matt and Emily next to them and Jessica and Mike in front of you.
You turned your attention to Sam, watching her expertly maneuver through the various items and obstacles.
She was so- mesmerizing when she was focused. Her eyes always dead ahead and full of energy.

Every action she made flowed so smoothly- as if she were performing a hybrid between contemporary dance and an obstacle course.
Throughout the event, you could hear josh whisper to Hannah and they'd both snicker, passing suggestive eyebrow wiggles in your general direction.
You turned to give them a questioning glare- your curiosity showing through this glare.
Hannah tapped Josh's shoulder, almost as to prompt him to let you in on whatever their little punchline was.
He complied, crossing his legs and leaning into your personal bubble.
"Enjoying the show?-" he spoke with his lips pulled to a corner, the words rolling out into a sleepy sounding slurr. "Sam looks pretty hot in that Unitard huh?"
