Mixed Emotions [Tom Daley Fanfic]

5

Hello again, last update was more than a month ago! I know it’s late but sometimes I am so lazy to update: P We is nearing 3,000 reads! (Update 28/9/12: WE HAVE REACHED IT!) And I changed the cover and book name. It’s catchier. This chapter is short because I have been really busy.

“Does Gemma always be this angry?” I shook my head and grabbed a water bottle from the bench as I sat down. After only less than half an hour of training, I was already feeling the strain and I had to show the new girl, Talia around.

“Hey Ellie,” she smiled and sat beside me as I gulped the water down. From afar, I noticed Tom staring at me and I broke it off, facing Talia.

“Are you and um… Tom dating?” she asked as she noticed me staring at him. I shook my head. Yeah okay we were sort of friends but we weren’t dating and we never would.

“Why do you ask?”

“The way he looks at you.” She pointed to Tom who was about to start his practicing. I couldn’t help but agree with her. Yeah he looks at me differently but he always did that even before we accidently… did that thing.

“But still.”

“Do you like him?” she asked. “I mean in a really like like way.”

That question was too personal for her to ask; even I would feel uncomfortable with Eliza asking me the same question.

“Why?”

“Because I like him…” I dropped my water bottle in awe and blushed, picking it up.

“Oh cool.” I mentally slapped myself because ‘oh cool’ was the worst thing to say.

As soon as my watch stopped working, my coach came.

“Ellie. I have great news for you!”

I got up and straightened myself up.

“You have been selected to represent Great Britain in the 2012 Summer Olympics in the sport swimming!”

A huge ball of excitement filtered my mind as I jumped up for joy, crying too. All my hard work had paid off and now I was going to be in the Summer Olympics in London!

“I am so happy sweetie!”

All the goodwill messages from my family and friends made me proud to be who I am. I knew that I was going to fulfil my dreams one day but honestly? I never knew it was going to be so soon!

“We’re going to have to buy nice outfits for the ceremony and the days we aren’t in any events!” Eliza squealed and I hugged her.

I knew that one day, this day would come and it did.

OMG I am so sorry this is short but it’s the way it’s been written I guess. It will be longer next time I promise, believe it but this chapter is over 500 words so that’s good I suppose right? Sorry for the long update, more than A MONTH! I had this written at the end of August but never got round to finishing the chapter till today. Hope you enjoyed it and it was worth the wait for you
