Gymnastics and Life

Chapter 10: Out With The Old In With The New

Alex's POV.

A new coach? Hmmmm, let me decide if I like this idea or not. Yes!

I know the other girls liked Karl, but I didn't. I found him creepy, and he was normally late for practice.

"Hi girls, my name is Rebecca, I'm your new coach." our new coach said.

I took it upon myself to introduce the team. "Hi Rebecca, I'm Alex and this is," I point to Natasha. "Natasha, but you can call me Nat."

"I'm Julia, nice to meet you." "Nice to meet you too." Rebecca said.

"Katie" Katie said smiling.

"Livi."

"Maddy. Welcome to the gym!"

"Alright now to start the day off you have a new teammate!" we looked at each other. We hadn't had a new teammate since Lowri which was over four years ago.

And just then a new girl walked in. She was short with dark brown hair and eyes, and tanned skin.

"Hi!" Livi bounced over to her. "I'm Livi what's your name?"

"Chantal." she said timidly.

"Cool." I joined Livi.

"Alright girls! Let's see what you can do!"

We showed Rebecca our routines. She looked impressed which was a good sign.

I feel I tap on my shoulder and turn to see Nat.

"She doesn't know about..." She started, "about what Nat?"

"About me not eating." she whispers looking up at me. "Right, she doesn't. After practice I will come with you and we can tell her together ok?"

She nodded.

Chantal's POV.

The girls here are really good. I can't compete with this! Their beam skills are unreal, however, floor I rock it. But that Livi girl is up there too.

Looks like I've got some competition. I like challenges. I also want these girls to like me. I don't want to be the outsider like at school.

But I heard that if I wanted to switch and go to their school I could.

This is my new home I guess. Better get comfy.
