Gymnastics and Life

Chapter 11: Get Ready

Livi's POV.

There's a competition next week called the Pacific Rim Championships and I'm so excited.

The new girl, Chantal is amazing! She really knows how to tumble and she can do the Biles!

"Alright girls! Get in a line." Rebecca called. "Pacific Rim is in one week and I expect 10 perfect routines on every event throughout the week. The day before the competition 1 perfectly flawless routine. Do I make myself clear?"

"Yes," we said in unison. "Go get to work." Rebecca ordered.

Chantal's POV.

I went off to work on beam, my least favorite event. I started dancing and flipping across this death trap, pretending there were hungry crocodiles underneath me so I wouldn't fall.

Before I knew it I was done my routine and Livi was clapping.

"That was amazing!" She gasped.

"Thanks. I'm not that great at beam." I replied shyly. "Not great? That was amazing!" She smiled.

"Nine more!" I smiled.

I looked over and see Maddy execute a perfect bar routine. I hate beam, I suck at bars. "Livi?" I asked.

"Yep?" she turned around to face me.

"I'm not very good at bars." I said. "That's okay we'll fix that." she smiled at me. "Well, we better get back to our routines."

"Yeah." I smiled.

Maddy's POV.

Chantal's good. I'm sure we can fix up her bars.

I fly through my bar routine as though it was nothing too hard. "Karl didn't realize your true potential on bars." I heard Rebecca said.

I didn't reply I just smiled.

"I want you to try a pike toe full instead of a straddle." she looked at me as if measuring me up.

"Okay," I said.

"Go work on the pit bar." she walked me over,"Try one."

I jumped up onto the bar and did two giants into the piled toe full.

I missed my hands and floated into the pit.

"You need higher in the air so it's not difficult to catch the bar."

I worked on the skill until we had to switch events. I looked over on floor and saw Chantal performing her routine.

She opened up her routine to a Biles. It was a huge skill and none of us have it.

She finished her routine out of breathe.

She got water and I followed her. "Wow," I breathed, "your amazing."

She laughed, "that's exactly what I said when I saw your bar routine."

"I hear you have trouble on bars." I brought up. "Yeah, kind of like you on floor."

"Say if I were to help you on bars would you help me on floor?"

"Definitely."

"Wanna do it?"

"Yep, we start now go to floor Maddy." she ordered playfully. "Tomorrow I will help you on bars." I called back.

She laughed again, "good luck with that."

I like this girl. Hopefully floor will become another strong event for me.

(AN/ I'm so sorry that took so long. I lost track in updating other books and waiting for the two votes to come in. I've been busy with gymnastics and school and life and I'm sorry.
Two votes for the next chapter:)
