Going for Gold (Tom Daley Fanfic) - editing

Second Heat

Ellie's pov.

I sat in the stands watching Tom do what he does best, dive. 

He is incredibly talented and some how I feel really proud of him and some what jealous?

Tom and Pete sailed through the first heat and the whole audience was behind them which was good.

Being at home definitely gave you confidence and I was glad because I knew how nervous Tom got from past experiences.

As soon as Tom knew he was though he jumped in the pool, followed by all the other competitors, this just shows that even though they are against each other, they are good friends.

He had just done an interview and was now getting changed, I really wanted to congratulate him but sadly I knew I wasn't allowed.

He came out of the changing rooms wearing his british spedos and he looked up at me.

I smiled weakly trying not to show how much I wanted to talk to him, it may sound weird but when he smiles his dreamy smile I like melt.

The sad thing is that I don't even know where we stand and that is what upsets me the most.

Its so wrong to be thinking of me at a time like this, its all about Tom.

Heat two began and I sat watching as all the others dived, time seemed to be ticking agonisingly slow.

Hurry up !

Eventually Tom and Pete walked to the end of the diving board and I waited with baited breath.

*flip flip filp splash* 

"Wooo" The crowd roared so I immediately joined in.

Tom got out and punched the air in happiness.

The competition carried on and each time Tom walked onto the platform the crowd would roar, he had so much support which was good to see.

Tom's final dive went really well and he qualified 3rd along with Peter for the finals.

They hugged it out before Tom ran over to the stand and I ran towards him, it was cheesey like in a film yet it was so prefect at the same time.

But this wasn't a movie, this was real life, my life so me, socially awkward Ellie had to reuin the possible romantic moment.

"Hi" I said exitedly.

"Hey" Tom laughed at my stupidity.

"Well done" I shouted; still way too excited.

"Thanks" He said as he leant in to hug me.

"Woah no way you are soaking" I screamed.

"So?" He said questionably.

"So you are not going to hug me" I said before sticking my tounge out.

Tom puted before springing into action trying to hug me.

I was expecting this so I ran around the stand, Tom hot on my heels.

"I'm gonna catch you" Tom shouted.

"Oh no you're not" I shouted back.

"Don't be so sure" I said cockily.

"I could just run into the girls changing rooms" I warned.

"Even better" Tom joked.

"Oi" I said

"Why would you care?" He asked seriously.

"I..well...nothing...I wouldn't, go ahead" I said and stopped running.

Tom took this to his advantage.

" Ha I knew that would work" He said before lunging at me, soaking my new dress in the process.

"Hey" I pouted.

"Since you're offering" He said.

"Offering w" I was cut off by his soft, pink lips crashing down onto mine.

I kissed back automatically.

He pulled away and I opened my eyes to see he had a huge smile on his face.

"That" He replied, answering my question previously asked.

"Lets get some lunch" I said changing the subject.

I started to walk in the direction of the exit when Tom ran next to my and tangled his fingers between mine, for some reason they fit just perfectly, like they were meant to be there.

We walked hand in hand until we found quiet cafe just past the center of London.

We found a table at the back for privacy and sat down to order.

"What do you recomend?" I asked trying to make conversation.

"Food" He said,

"Well that does help" I laughed

We ate our food and make light comical conversation and before we knew it, it was time for Tom to return for the finals.

We had a slow walk back to the aquatics center and Tom went back to the changing room as I took my seat once again.

Tom turned around and blew a kiss and I just laughed it off, blushing slightly.

"Hey you're Ellie right ?" A blond haired girl asked me.

"Thats me" I smiled politely.

"You're Tom's girlfriend ! She exclaimed.

"Oh no, we are just friends" I said truthfully.

"Oh but he kissed you ?" She asked.

"Yeah its just 'banter" I giggled.

"Oh well you make a really good couple anyways" She said before walking off.

How strange I thought to myself, why would people think we were going out. 

We are just friends, aren't we ?
