Xtreme Mississippi 2nd week

2nd week 1:00pm

"Come on Lana let's go", Tech said banging on my door.

"What's your problem. I won 1st week"

"Exactly you wanna continue that streak so get up"

We left to the same spot we always go to practice.

"Ok change of plans. Instead of SeaWorld, the theme is Senior Year of high school"

"How did you know", I asked.

"By being prepared. I bet no one else knows about the change of the themes. That's how they got me the first time in the competition."

"Ok got it always be prepared"

"Remember Lana that's a big advantage and you have a mystery advantage. For this week will be graduation, prom, graduation pictures, school trip, and finals results. So finish your sketches", he said leaving the room.

It was now time to get up and meet at the stadium for the competition.

"You're going down Richardson", Brian said to me.

"Alana keep your head in the game. He's trying to choke you up"

"Ok ladies and gentlemen. This is the 2nd week, there's been a change of themes. Instead of SeaWorld, it will be Senior year."

I saw the expressions of all their faces.

"Your models will be yourself, and your competitors."

What did he mean?

"Alana Richardson. Your two for today will be Brian and Brittney. You all will have to do a tattoo dealing with graduation"

I was the youngest one in the competition and the rest were either in their freshman or sophomore year in college. I had already sketched up tattoos for all this week, but they were talking about performing a tattoo on ourselves. I've never done that before.

"You all have 30 minutes to do tattoos of graduation on yourselves. Time starting now."

My idea was to write my graduation date on my left arm. For more I put confetti and a graduation cap. It was very nice to me, but it was up to the judges. I had finished Brian and Brittney. The judges finished their scores and we went home.

"Practice is starting early today.", Tech said.

"Ok I want you to perform a prom tattoo on me", Tech said.

"Why?"

"Because prom is really the hardest."

"Permanent?", i asked.

"Nope this is just for practice"

It took me a pretty long time to finish the tattoo. It was a boy in a tuxedo and a girl in a long gown.

"I don't like it fix it more", Tech said to me looking at the tattoo.

"What do you mean. We've been here for hours"

"If you wanna win fix your mistakes. Put the tattoo in color this time."

It took me longer than before this time. I had to sketch it again and I fixed my mistakes.

"Fantastic job girl. This is really awesome. Like it really looks real. See what happens when you go back and fix your mistakes."

"Thank you", I said.

"Welcome now finish your sketches", he said leaving the room.
