Cairo is a very closed off person. She has a lot of layers to her and most of those layers she won't let anyone see or hear about. Her life as she knows it is about to change and she will never be the same.
My alarm went off at its usual time of 6:00 so I got up and left the hotel to go to a park to do my morning yoga which took about 45 minutes so I got back to the hotel around 7. Once back in the hotel I went up to my room and showered and changed then headed to breakfast.
I was the first person down for breakfast so I sat down at the farthest table from the door because well I just wanted to sit there. People started coming down for breakfast soon and while I was eating I heard Kelley attempt to whisper
"Does she think she is better than us?" She whisper shouts.
After I heard this I got up to take my trash and get my training gear. As I got to the door I look back to the team to find all of them looking at me
"Hey Kelley...learn to whisper. And no I don't think I'm better than any of you. I just got here first and sat down. Anybody could've sat by me." I said then left the room to get my training gear. Once in the room I got all my stuff together then went back down stairs and waited for the bus.
"I'm sorry Cairo." Kelley said as she sat next to me in the lobby.
"For what?" I ask.
"For talking about you this morning."
"Kelley it's fine." She hugs me. I guess she wants to be on my good side for some reason.
Finally the bus arrived and everyone got on. I got on last and sat in an empty seat in the front of the bus and listened to music until we got to the training pitch. Once we get to the training pitch I took my shirt off to change into the training top, but I'm interrupted when I feel eyes on me. When I turn around I notice some of the girls staring at me and my tattoos.
"You guys enjoying the view." I say and the girls that were staring stopped staring which caused me to laugh.
"Sorry your tattoos are really cool. Do they represent anything?" Kelley says.
"Thanks. And yes they do."
"What do they mean?" Pinoe asks and the rest of the team crowds around me.
"Well the anchor tattoo just represents the ocean and my serenity and freedom when I'm diving." I say showing them my left side.

I then turn to face them and move my sports bra so they can see the two tattoos around my boobs. "This one in between my boobs reminds me of a flower I saw in Italy so I got that to remind me of my time in Italy. The one under my Right boob is a French saying that means be beautiful in your own way."
