Cassie, going through a rough patch in her life, thinking nothing else could go right, meets an Angel in an unexpected place. He's the sweetest boy, he's caring, funny, and was surprisingly going through a bad time, just like Cassie.
When Cassie a...
I shuttered feeling hands on my shoulders shaking me awake. I opened my eyes to see Ethan next to me, "wakey wakey eggy and bakey, competition day!" He said excitedly. I sat up with a groan and rubbed my eyes, I looked over to the side table and grabbed my glasses and put them on.
I saw Ethan's blue hair styled normally and smiled slightly. "You are way to excited at 5:00 in the morning." I said throwing my legs to the side of the couch. "Come on Cass! I haven't been to a competition in so long!" He said with his silly voice. I let out a little laugh and stood up.
"Well I think you'll have a great day then." I said stepping out of the way to stretch. I put my right leg out and bent down touching my toes, then doing the same with the other leg. Ethan was off in the kitchen making breakfast for the both of us. While I was getting ready in the bathroom I heard the doorbell and some stomping after it.
I put on my leotard.

After I put my leotard on I put on clothes that Amy had given to me.

I brushed my hair out and decided I looked good enough, I opened the door to see Spencer waiting for me by the door. "Hi Spence." I said in a voice similar to what Ethan does.
His tail wagged and he followed me down the stairs. When I got downstairs, I saw Amy and Mark eating with Ethan. "Spencer." I called, he ran down the stairs and circled me, "Hey Cass, are you ready for competition?" Ethan asked with a smile, I smiled back "Hell yeah I am." I said, I took the ready plate of food and sat down next to Amy and Ethan.
"So what does competition in tail?" Mark asked finishing his pancake. "Do you mean category?" I asked, cutting into my pancake." Oh yeah sure." Mark said, "Well I'm doing uneven bars, Floor, Vault, beam, and trampoline." I said eating my pancake.
"Oh thats cool" Amy said, I nodded, we continued to finish eating while we talked. "Hi Spencer." I said petting his head, his tail wagged as I pet him. He sat down and leaned his whole body against my leg. Ethan and Amy both laughed seeing Spencer.
"Watch out Ethan, Cassie is going to steal Spencer." Mark said, I laughed with them. "I won't but Spencer seems to enjoy my presence." I said petting him. "We all enjoy your presence." Ethan said with a little laugh at the end.
He made me laugh with him, I was done with my food and I stood up, walking to the sink, I took the sponge and ran it under water and smothered some dish soap onto the sponge. I listened to the conversation while I was cleaning the dishes.
"Are we all ready to go?" Mark asked. "I am primed and ready to go." I said, drying my hands off with the towel. "Let's-let-us, oh my god, let us go an-and, oh boy." Ethan said, tripping over his words. "Oh my god." Mark said with a little laugh.
"Let's go." Ethan finally said. I let out a little laugh and followed him out, grabbing my gym bag on the way. I sat in the front with my bag by my feet. I realized I didn't do my hair for competition. "Fuck." I sighed, I leaned down to my bag and grabbed a bag of little rubber bands and a hair brush as well as a styling comb to section my hair.
"Did you forget something?" Ethan asked, while he stopped at a light. "No, I just didn't do my hair." I said back with a little laugh. Ethan laughed as well, "what are you going to do?" Amy asked, "I was thinking a little braid on the tippy top of my head." I said with a little bit of accent.
"Woah, I didn't know you had an accent." Mark said, I could hear the smile on his lips. I laughed a little pulling down the sun visor for the mirror. "Yeah, I was born in Germany and lived there for three years and then my parents moved me to Ireland for two years and then to Minnesota, I lived there up until two years ago." I said, holding a rubber hair band between my teeth.
"Do you know different languages?" Amy asked, I gave a hum in response. "English wasn't my first language, I learned English when I moved to the United States. I know German, French, Irish, and English, from moving around, but then I decided to learn some others on my own, for example my grandmother is from Romania, and my grandfather is from Russia on my father's side, my father was born in Ireland, becausemy great grandmother was from Ireland." I spoke softly parting my hair.
I took my parted hair and tied it into a tight braid, once I was done braiding my hair I tied it off. "Can you speak a little bit of German?" Mark asked, "what do you want me to say?" I asked. "Can't wait to compete?" Ethan asked, I nodded and said "Ich kann es kaum erwarten, an wettkämpfen teilzunehmen." They all had shocked looks on their faces, it made me laugh.
"Wowie, I wish I could speak another language." Ethan said, I let out a little laugh. "It's never to late to learn." I said putting my things away in my bag. "You right." Mark said, Ethan, Amy, and I let out a laugh. "Mark was born in Honolulu." Amy said, I smiled "Nice, another person born out of state." I said, giving Mark a high five.
"I'm from Maine." Ethan said, "Thats far away, isn't it?" I asked, he nodded, "So where are you from Amy?" I asked, "Oh I'm from Ohio." She said with a slight nod. "Well arn't we all over the place." Ethan said. I gave a little laugh and went quiet, while I mentally prepared myself for my challenges today....
