Gymnastics and Life

Chapter 9: Whats Going On With The World?!

Maddy's POV.

The thing about gymnastics is that you can hate it one minute but then love it the next. I am in that situation... only, I seem to be struck by Cupid's arrow of love. I mean, what's not to love? That second when you feel like your flying in between the bars or when, you master a skill you had the biggest mental block on. Its truly amazing.

However.

While Livi was resolving the Ethan, Brody thing I had my very own pressing matter. You know when your doing a sport that you know is hard but everyone thinks is easy? Yeah? Then your probably doing gymnastics.

On my way to first period I bump into this boy... his name... I... well... I can't remember, this idiot has the nerve to say gymnasts are weak! Sorry to pop your bubble head but we aren't! We are strong confident athletes that deserve some damn respect.

PLEASE READ THIS IT IS IMPORTANT!

(AN/ don't worry the chapters not over but I just wanted to say that this whole gymnasts are weak thing is what happened to me. So to this anonymous boy at my school your wrong your so truly wrong. gymnasts are not weak, we are strong passionate fighters who will stop at nothing to get to our dream. And if you think other wise I'm sorry but your blind. This is to all people who think gymnastics isn't a sport or it isn't hard. Why don't you live life through the gymnasts eyes! see how your words affect them! Do they damage us? Hell no! In the gymnasts eyes that's just a motivation to get to our dream! You'll watch what you say to gymnasts when you see those same girls and boys make it to the top and thrive!)

Julia's POV.

I got extremely bored in school. I mean who doesn't? It's like, are you trying to kill us? But now I'm at gym so whatever.

I stretched while talking to Alex.

"So how's Nat?" I asked. She sighs and answers, "she's alright I think. She's sleeping and eating more, but I guess that's good."

"Yeah she needs to refuel her energy."

"I guess."

We were interrupted by an announcement made by the women from the office. She's one of those high and mighty people. Sheila I believe her name is.

"As of today you have a new coach." she spoke with importance. Hushed voices ran through our line.

"Her name is Rebecca. Your new training starts today." She walks off without saying another word.

"What's going on with the world!" Maddy said looking up at the ceiling.

"Shit." Nat mumbled.
