Alright guys, I think we should work on the pyramid next. Barry looked at Nia. Don't worry Nia, you got this. Sara assured her. Nia gave a small smile before being hoisted up. As she tried putting her leg in the air, her body started to shake. Hey Nia, look at me. You can do this okay. Just breathe. Barry calmed her down. Now close your eyes and listen to the sound of my voice. You're a statue and nothing else. Don't think of anything, just keep your mind blank. He continued relaxing her. Now I want you to bring your leg up for me now. Easy does it, slowly... He said as Nia slowly raised her leg. Now open your eyes he smiled. Nia breathed as her eyes opened. And for the first time ever, she wasn't wobbly.

I-I'm doing it! Nia beamed. She managed to still stay balanced for 5 more pyramid tries throughout that practice session. Wow Nia, you did it! I'm so happy for you! Allegra hugged her. You go girl. Sara winked at her as she and Iris hugged her. See? I knew you could do it. Great job. Barry high fived her. Thanks Barry. She high fived him back with a smile. After practice, while the girls were grabbing their bags Iris had went over to Barry to talk. 

Hey, she greeted. Hey there, Barry grinned. About yesterday....Iris started. Wow, Barry chuckled. I know right. Iris couldn't help but giggle. I can't stop thinking about it. Barry disclosed. Me too, I've never done anything like that, ever. I'm a little freaked out right now. Fretted Iris. I've never done that neither. Barry smirked. You not gonna tell  your dad about this? Are you? Barry asked. Oh, no no. But the thing is... Iris hesitated. I feel a little guilty, about my dad and my friends. I just don't want anything to interfere with our relationship here. worried Iris. No, I get it. It just doesn't have to be so cut and dry in between us. Does it?  Barry said. We could get in a lot of trouble Barry. Iris warned. I don't regret it happened. Barry said. I don't either. I just... I don't think I can handle anymore distractions. Iris said. Barry nodded his head, I'm your coach. That's it. Iris gave a slight nod to agree. Thank you. She leaned into him and kissed him on the cheek before grabbing Spike's leash and her bag. 

Barry watched her walk off with a devilish grin on his face.
