Emma's Gymnastics Story

The Best Aftermath Celebration

We had a celebration sleepover at the GYM!!! It was our first time sleeping here and we were all so excited. Julie, Shay, Bree, Amiyrah, Paige, and I were going to sleep together. Me, Shay, and Amiyrah were getting the materials for the fort, while Julie, Bree, and Paige saved the trampoline so nobody would steal our spots. Soon we came back with a bunch of mats to make the fort and we set it up. It was so comfy and cool!

"Your fort is so cool!" said Leah. "Can I stay with you guys? I don't have anywhere to sleep!"

We all exchanged glances at each other. "Yeah, sure!" Paige answered.

"Yay!" Leah cheered and we all bounced and flipped on the trampoline.

I did a back layout to back pike.

"How do you do that?" Julie asked me in amazement.

I shrugged. Katie came over to us and said,"That looks like a comfy fort on the trampoline! Do you guys want to play a game with the other girls, hide and seek?"

We all exchanged glances and we decided to not, we could play a game by ourselves. "No, we will play our own game!" I exclaimed.

"Oh, okay then!" Katie said and walked away.

"Aw, we should've played!" Leah said. "Can I go and join them?"

"Do what you want, Leah." Bree told her.

Leah ran over to the rest of them and then we decided what game to play. We wanted to play the abc gymnastics challenge!

"Okay, so I will go first, Bree next, Paige, Amiyrah, Emma, and Julie, that is the pattern!" Shay told us.

"Ugh, of course you made me last!" Julie complained and we giggled.

Shay went first for A. "Aerial!" Bree ran and hurdled into an aerial, her form was good!

Bree did two back handsprings. "That's for B!"

Then Paige did a cartwheel to a back tuck on the trampoline. "Wow, I didn't know I could do that, for C!"

Amiyrah pondered for D, and finally she did a dive roll. "That was D."

Then it was my turn for E. I did an elblow stand, and then it was Julie's turn. Later we finished the challenge and it got late, it was 7:38 pm.

"Pizza!" Katie shouted so everyone could hear her.

The smell of the cheesy saucy bread filled the air. I excitedly ran to the boxes of pizza screaming,"PIZZA!!!"

We ate our cheese pizza on the trampoline. "This is so fun!" Leah said, coming back to us with two slices of cheese pizza in her hands.

"Yeah, I know right!" Amiyrah exclaimed. "I wish gym was always like this!"

We laughed and I took my last bite of the delicious pizza. Now there was nothing left, so I ran to get another slice, but there was no more pizza! Aww. I sighed and came back to the girls sadly and told them what had happened.

"That's why you should have just gotten two at once like me!" Paige said.

I rolled my eyes and then I found someone behind Leah...it was Amber. We hadn't talked in so long that I practically forgot about this girl's existence! I felt the guilt from what had happened between us all over again.

"Hey Amber." Bree said happily to her.

"Hi..." she said. "How do you even manage to fit seven girls on there..."

"We're not that big, are we?" Shay laughed.

"Yeah." I said, trying to fit in with the conversation.

Right after I said something, Emma turned around and left us. We all exchanged confused glances as we closed the fort so nobody could enter again.

"Ummm, what?" I said, crossing my arms.

"Um, yeah, she definitely just left because of you, Em." Julie told me straight up.

"Like she doesn't already know!" Shay said annoyedly.

"Hey, um, I don't what you two to fight about me." I said, squeezing into their argument maturely.

They both broke it up and glared at each other with crossed arms. "Hahaha. What is going on between all of you guys? You always seem to be fighting about something!" Leah said, giggling, as if anything was funny. It was the complete opposite.
