The practise will start at 10:00 in the mornign and will end at 7:00 in the evening. It is the fist day of practise that they will meet and mingle withe new people. Ms. Ruston and Ms. Bloom announced some reminders before they start the practise like the colour for the UK will be green in the competition and the UK's cheerleading squad will be named "Green Britain" as decided by Ms. Ruston and Ms. Bloom.

The practise started with the first formation. Since there are 30 cheerdancers, there should be six people in each row. There will be fives rows that will contain six people. Hazel and Krystal were both placed in the very front row, the leading row. The coaches probably have a purpose for that. Krystal is in the very front row and the leftmost column. Hazel is in the very front row and the second to the leftmost column. Behind Krystal is Chloe Jenks and in her left is Hazel. Behind Hazel is Jana Sebert, in her right is Krystal, and in her left is Anna Wilde.

The first formation is final with Hazel and Krystal in the very front row. They start now with the very first steps combined with some jumps. The stunts will be in the latter part.

They practised a lot within two hours then it was time for them to eat lunch. Hazel and Krystal ate with the girls who were behind them in the first formation, Jana Sebert and Chloe Jenks.

"Hello." Hazel and Krystal greeted in a timid way.

"Hi." Jana and Chloe greeted back.

Hazel reached out her hand to the two girls, "I'm Hazel. Nice to meet you."

Jana and Chloe shake Hazel's hand.

"I'm Krystal." Krystal did the same as Hazel.

"I'm Jana. The other one is Chloe." Jana reached her hand, Chloe did the same.

Hazel and Krystal shake their hands.

"Where are you from?" Jana asked.

"We are both from London." Hazel said.

"Where particularly?"

"In the city of Westminster."

"How about the two of you?" Krystal asked.

"I'm from Essex. Jana is from Hertfordshire." Chloe said in a monotone way.

"Bear with Chloe. She's a bit shy in meeting new people." Jana reminded.

"It's alright. We can probably be friends starting now." Hazel brightened the atmosphere.

"Sure!" Chloe cheered up.

They all do a high-five.

"How old are you, Hazel and Krystal?" Chloe asked.

"Fifteen." said Krystal.

"Fifteen too." said Hazel.

"We're all the same age!" Chloe remarked.

"Oh yes!" Jana exclaimed.

They spent the whole lunch time conversing to each other about certain things like family, friends, etc. They had a good talk about knowing each other more, their positive and negatives sides about themselves.

They had to continue practising again to finish some steps needed in the beginning of the routine. They have accomplished the first six figures for their presentation of routine for the cheerleading competition. They will do the next six figures the following day. Hazel and Krystal want to make more new friends not only Jana and Chloe. They want to build good relationships with other people.

They polish and organise the first six figures. Twelve figures for every formation. The cheerdance presentation should only take ten minutes.

They practised until seven in the evening. Hazel, Krystal, Jana, and Chloe went to the view of the London Bridge to refresh themselves from the exhausting practise.

"A nice view to refresh on!" Chloe exclaimed.

"Yes, it is!" Jana said.

"Where do you study, guys?" Krystal asked. "Hazel and I study at Westminster School London."

"I study at Pennington Essex School." Chloe said.

"In St. Andrews Berkhamsted." Jana said. "How about your birthdays, guys? October 16 is mine. Chloe's is November 21."

"December 10. Krystal's is September 2." Hazel mentioned.

"We're all born in the same year, 1999." Krystal justified.

"Yes."

"That's what I was cogitating." Chloe said. "Perfect timing."

"Do you still master the steps?" Jana asked.

"Of course I do." Hazel replied. "To be honest, I can easily remember dance steps."

"That's nice." Chloe grinned. "Are you a cheerleader in your school?"

"Yes, Krystal is one too."

"Same here."

"Same." said Jana.

They had a moment of conversation in the view of the London Bridge. Making new friends was vital for them. It was to widen their circle of friends and to know other people more in terms of their personality and their attributes in your life. Friends brighten your personality and make your life whole. They make your world go round with all their advices and compliments they tell you. It's important to have friends since you will learn how to seek the love that is present in them, and that love and sacrifice will always remain in them, and that is just for you.
