scouted, a.b

four

(outfit above, lol.)

once settled into our over-night cabins, we all went out to dinner.

we were forced actually, but thats beside the point..

to be completely honest, i was exhausted, grumpy and jet lagged.

not to mention, we had to be on another plane tomorrow, heading to california.

but i guess i could eat..

-

we ended up eating at mickey's diner, apparently charlie's mum works there so its a pretty neat idea if i say so myself.

i was in a booth with luis, connie, guy and goldberg just talking about the goodwill games and our pre-game nerves.

"what's it like in australia ?" connie asked, interuppting my thoughts.

"very, very hot" i chuckled awkwardly

"did you get scouted for team australia ?" goldberg asked

"duh goldberg" guy rolled his eyes.

i laughed awkwardly, yet again..

"yeah i did, but i just thought team usa was a better opportunity"

"understandable" luis chimed in.

i rolled my eyes playfully at his comment.

i really like team usa, but it cost me a life long best friend, and probably half of my country..

well maybe not the second one but you get the point.

next day uno

---

i woke up to the loudest buzzing i've ever heard.

"wake up nicole !!" connie yelled straddling me.

"i'm up !" i screamed back sitting up quickly, forcing her to fall onto the floor loudly.

i clamped a hand over my mouth and starting laughing uncontrollably.

"yeah yeah, very funny miss australia" she said getting up, brushing herself off.

i giggled, throwing on my maple leafs jersey while grabbing my two duffle bags and throwing them over each shoulder.

"ready for california ?" julie asked walking out of the bathroom, brushing her hair.

"sure" i answered bluntly yawning.

the girls both laughed and grabbed their luggage, checking that we all grabbed everything from our one day stay.

two knocks erupted against the door.

"come on girls, let's get going !" coach bombay screamed before moving onto the next dorm.

i nodded towards the door and struggled opening it due to my heavy bags full of gear and clothes.

"oh, one sec !" i yelled dumping my bags just inside the room and rushing off into the bathroom.

i shoo-ed the girls to continue walking and yell bombay i'll be there in a bit.

once collecting my item and shoving it into my bag, i ran out into the hall, not looking to see if there was anyone coming my way.

suddenly, i knocked into a figure, not too much taller than me, and fell onto the floor, dropping my bags, once again.

"oh my god, i'm so sorry" i laughed, blushing from embarrassment.

"no worries, i should of been looking out as well" the blue eyed blonde who's name i remembered as adam said, holding out his hand.

i smiled and took it, getting up and collecting my once again fallen bags.

"we should get going, coach is probably wondering where we are.." i broke the awkward silence.

he continued to look into my eyes, like he was thinking about something important.

"oh, yeah" he mumbled shaking his head and breaking his strong gaze.

-

we were finally on the plane, and i was sitting next to connie and guy. although, to my left was an empty seat.

"i wonder if there's any good movies on this thing" connie said tapping the screen harshly.

"hey ! knock it off !" goldberg yelled, turning around the the smirking brunette.

"oh, i'm so sorry" she said sarcastically, tapping the screen continuously.

"germaine, control your girlfriend, would ya ?!" he yelled turning around looking annoyed as shit.

"it's not my fault !" guy responded.

soon the argument grew louder as connie screamed at goldberg, who screamed at guy, who screamed at connie.

"keep it down, some people actually wanna sleep an extra 3 hours if you wouldn't mind" adam said, putting his backpack down onto the floor of the seat next to mine.

he flashed me a quick toothless smile and buckled his seatbelt.

"she started it.."

"whatever"

i chuckled at my team mates comments and got the most comfortable i could get in an airplane seat.

"don't get use to the silence" adam winked at me, smirking yet again..

i scoffed playfully at his statement.

cya soon california..
