"The results are in", Martha chimed as she walks into the center of the rink with a pleasant smile, "A total of fifteen people are getting eliminated, but it's okay. You guys were excellent, all of you. Just remember that and we still have about three more competitons and activites before the finale. So, I'm going to call the eliminated people one by one. These people pack up, contact with a driver or parent, and leave". Nervously, I grab Tyler's hand and interlock it with my mind. I squeezed his hand and chatter my teeth as if I was frozen solid.
"I hope we make it", I said briskly, "We worked so well after Ginna stolen our routine and we sort of improvised". "No, we're so well. The entire skaters loved our routine", He said, "It's going to be okay". "Well, calling someone a nigga and blacky isn't so likable, but I believe you", I said a bit jokingly. He sighs and I sigh as Martha opens her mouth to read off the list as her sparkling blue contacts she probably got glimmers in excitement. "Okay, here it goes, Tanya, Ellie...", I zone out as I realise she calling out names I didn't recongnize.
Although, I did see some skaters shed tears as they heard they're names. She took a deep breath and moved on to Alyson's team. I gulped, I hope Alyson didn't get eliminated. She skated very well and you could tell she and Lucas loved dancing with each other. As Martha calls the names, I didn't hear Alyson or Lucas which got me relieved. Then, she moved on to the other teams. Others got eliminated but I didn't know them except for some of Tyler's friends and other racist people I had seen.
Lastly Martha announced our team and I held Tyler's hand so tightly that I think I cut off the blood in his fingers. Martha announce people who were cruel to me and others that were very good that I almost couldn't believe it. "Lastly, Bryce and Ginna", Martha said, "And that's all. Congrats to the people and made it and as for the others, I apologize and you can always try next-
"WHAT?!?!!!!!", Ginna exclaimed angrily and pointed at me, "THIS STUPID A** NIGGA GETS TO STAY BUT NOT ME?!?! THAT'S NOT FAIR, I BELONG HERE!! I AM A TOP SKATER FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE YOU STUPID %$*#@!#(*)&^%%#%^%&*!". Then, I saw something incredibly funny. Everyone started to boo Ginna and Alyson stood up, "YOU DO NOT BELONG HERE. YOU'RE SOO JEALOUS OF BRIA AND TYLER'S RELATIONSHP THAT YOU COPIED THEIR ROUTINE".
Everyone gasped and Martha asked me, "Bria, is this true?". "Yes", I said loudly, "Ginna stole my routine". "GINNA, GET OUT AND NEVER RETURN!!!", Martha exclaimed. "But, that's not fair!!! I must win, I must win!", Ginna screamed, "Please!!!". Martha exclaimed, "GUARDS!". The guards barged in and marched up to Ginna, "No! NO! Please I must win and I must win Tyler, Bria must not win, she's too pretty to UGH!". Everyone gasped as I heared the 'too pretty'. Ginna has been jealous of me all along and thought I was too pretty!
After Ginna was dragged out, Martha claps her hands for attention. "Guys, I know that was a lot of commotion, but we have to move on. The rest of the eliminators left without saying anything and I finally released Tyler's hand as he shakes it immediately. "Sorry", I whisper. "Anyway, everyone to your room
for an hour and I will tell you guys what we will do next", Martha said as everyone went to their rooms. I walk with Alyson and Tyler to my room without talking.
Ginna threw a huge tantrum and admitted that she was jealous of me all in one day, talk about drama. Once we made it to our room, Tyler waved at me and headed for his room. As we enter our room, me and Alyson were the only ones there. That's because the others got eliminated. "Bria, are you okay", Alyson asked. "I guess so", I mumble, "It's just so surprising how Ginna reacted". "I know, but she told her friends she was scared that you would win", She said.
"Oh my gosh, really", I asked. "Uh-huh, all along she knew you were better than her. That's why she decided to copy your routine", She informed. "Wow, I should have saw that coming", I said glumly, "Ugh, I can't believe this. "It's going to be okay", Alyson said, "Just rest".
***********
An hour later, Martha called us to the big skating rink and said, "We're going to do another competition and this time, you will have to choose three people". I chose Tyler and Alyson since Martha said it's okay to choose someone not from your team. "What should we do", Alyson asked. "I have an idea".
(Like it??? There's going to be about 4 more chapters and they're going to be longer. Sorry, I kind of ran out of ideas, but I will post more soon okay. Just enjoy this chapter :).)
