Chapter 2

*Beep* *beep* *beep* I sighed heavily as I heard my alarm go off. I groaned and pressed snooze, rolled over and re closed my eyes falling back into a deep sleep without even realising. Suddenly I was woken by my phone ringing. Loudly. I groaned again and answered it without looking at the calling ID “Hellooo” I said sleepily “I knew you would still be asleep” he laughed “Erh Tom what the fuck leave me alone I’m tired just 5 more minutes” “You need to get up like now otherwise you are gonna be late and Kat will be on your back all day and you will be in her bad books do you really want that today of all days” I knew he was right “fine I’m getting up now” I said and pulled back my bed covers. I sat up and rubbed the sleep out of my eyes. “How did you know I wouldn’t be up anyway” I said while walking into the bathroom and putting him on speaker phone so I could do my hair and brush my teeth. “Come on it’s you, you’re never up this early, even for training you’re always late” “True” I laughed. “What’s the time Daley?” I asked while pulling my hair up into a messy bun. “Lazy why can’t you do it yourself” “Because you looooove me” I mocked “Whatever in your dream… errr 6:15 Kido” he said “Fuck I need to go and get ready see ya soon I’ve got to walk to the pool you’re so lucky you are getting picked up at your house” “Stop moaning and get ready Kido” he laughed “See ya Daley” I said I heard him groan as I called him Daley and I laughed and then hung up. I quickly pulled my small purple suit case from under my bed and chucked in my pyjamas, underwear, socks, make-up bag, coat, dress, tights, shorts, tooth brush, phone charger, vest top and one of Tom’s hoodies I had borrowed from him after a competition which he lent to me. I zipped my case shut and grabbed my swimming costume, towel, shampoo, water bottle, hair brush, ipod and a packet of skittles and put them into my kit bag.

I quickly got changed into my ‘Plymouth swimming’ tracksuit as well as a vest top and converse. Dad had already gone to work so I didn’t have to say buy to him so I quickly grabbed my keys and phone put them into my pockets and ran out of the front door. I locked the front door and began my walk to the pool. It was freezing; to be honest it was the beginning of January so I should have been expecting it. I sighed out loud and I saw the mist from my breath; I gripped my case tighter and flung my kit bag further up my shoulder. Kat said it would be easier for them to pick me up from the centre because it would be hard to find my house in dark. To be fair my house is in the middle of nowhere and it’s hard of people to find it in the daylight let alone the night time. But Tom seemed to find it hilarious though that I had to walk on an early morning at the beginning of January. I reached the pool centre and sat down on the bench outside I pulled my phone from my hoodie pocket and texted Tom. *Tom Tom Daley* ‘Where are you its freezing xxx’ waited impatiently for his reply but then about 5 minutes later I saw the mini bus’s lights. “Finally” I mumbled. I smiled as Kat got out of the bus with a beaming smile on her face. “Morning Kido, you ready for the big day ahead.” She smiled and pulled me into a firm hug, I followed her round to the back of the bus and put my case into the boot. “Morning yeah todays the big day” I smiled. I skipped around to the front of the bus and jumped on board. Tom, Chris, Jack, Peter, Tonia and Katie were already on I was the last stop. “Morning” I said. “Morning” they all replied. Katie and Tonia were sitting together and so were Jack and Chris and Pete was sitting at the front with the coaches so I made my way to the back and slumped down into the empty seat next to Tom. On the way down I high fived Katie “We’re gonna smash it” she laughed “Yeah bring it!” “Morning Daley thanks for the morning alarm by the way and for texting me back” I winked “It’s okay thought you wouldn’t be up but what text” he laughed and pulled out his phone, I leant over a pointed at the new message he had just received “That one” I laughed he shrugged and put his phone back into his pocket “Today is the day” he said “I know the one we have been waiting for, but we can only do our best” I smiled. “Yeah you’re right but we will be fine”

 The journey took about 3 hours, 3 long hours. For the whole time me and Tom played sweet and sour. Then Katie, Tonia, Tom and I played truth or dare. I was already nervous and we had only just arrived, I knew I had to do my best and this was my one and only shot.
