“You are going to start by working on your floor routine.”
“Okay.” I say as I head over to the spring floor. As I walk over I take off my tanktop and my shorts so that my leotard is visible.
I set up the stereo to my music and wait for the trio to look my way before I start.
My routine consists of lots of ballet moves, double twisting, double backs, back handsprings, handsprings, back tucks, round-offs, Half to Triples, Twirling, Splits, Straddles, Pikes, Split Jumps, front flips and back flips. When my music stopped and when I finished I looked over at Ridge, who at one point must have told the girl that she should take a break and came over, and he was just speechless. He walks over and I start crying. I start crying because of the look in his eyes.
“That routine is gonna win the finals this year!” He says as he walks over and hugs me.
“I picked that music last night at the club. I thought it would go perfectly.” I say through my tears. I wipe away my tears and he looks down at me and smiles.
“You should stop with that. You should head over to the vault.” He says and we start to walk over to the vault.

At the vault I get ready to run down and vault. He walks over to the vault to be there incase I fall. I always do a roundoff backhandspring to a double twist. As I start my run I realize that I’m a little short on distance. I decide to stop and go back and I hear the trio snickering. I look at Ridge and see him smile at me. Then the young girl walks over and Ridge tells her something. The Young girl looks at me and smiles. I start my run and do a backhandspring and push off of the vault, twist myself around twice and land. Ridge runs over and hugs me. I start laughing. “Sammie did you see that? Did you see her position and her push off of the vault? That is what it should look like.” Ridge says to Sammie. “Yeah. Okay. Miss, will you show me on the floor before you leave?” Sammie asks me. “Of course. After I’m done practice.” I respond. With that Sammie nods and walks over to the floor area to stretch out a little bit. “That was great. Time for the balance beam.” He says then we head over to the balance beam.

I mount the Balance Beam and begin my routine. Its a very difficult routine. I can’t even describe it. As soon as I begin my routine the only thing in the world is me one the beam. Time flies by and when I’m done, I know that I nailed it because I am standing on the dismount mat and Ridge is staring at me in amazement. “I feel like I nailed that. Should we go over to the uneven bars and work on that?” I ask. His response came out muffled. So he just nodded his head.

We walked over to the uneven bars and everyone that was waiting in line stepped out of the way so I could do my routine. “Thank you.” I say to everyone. I get up to the uneven bars and I begin my routine. As I begin I forget what I’m thinking about and the only thing is me doing my routine. As I finish with my dismount, everyone standing there watching me starts clapping and Ridge comes over and hugs me.
“Coach, can you help me on my routine?” Erin walks over and asks after Ridge releases me.
“Yeah.” he responds to Erin and then looks at me and says “Good job today. Just cool off and then stretch out a little. Then you can leave.” He says the last part and walks away. I walk over to Sammie and she says “I love your routines. You did a great job on them.”
“Thank you. Now what has Coach taught you?” I ask.
“He taught me to have a little give in my arms and to arch my back in the start.”
“Okay. So watch me and then I will help you and if needed I can show you again.” I walk backwards a little then I do a backhandspring. I walk over to her and ask “do you want to see that again?”
“Yes please.” So I do another back handspring. I walk back over to her and say “Your turn. Are you ready to try?”
“Yes.” So I spot her and she almost has it. So I give her a little advice and she tries again. This time she has it. “Yay!” she says, “Thank you. I have to go. Thank you.” She says and she runs off to the locker room.
“Your welcome. Just don’t do it without a spotter.” I say right before she leaves.
I begin to walk around to cool off and I walk past the trio and say with sass “Top that if you want, but I don’t think that YOU could do any better. Have fun trying!” and then I walk away.
As I finish stretching I see Erin walking over to me. I stand up and she says “Hey. There is a hockey game tonight. I have two tickets. Want to go?”
“Sure. What time is it? Where should I meet you? Who are they playing?” I ask.
“It’s at seven. Meet me at the box office closest to the subway station around six thirty. And they are playing the Islanders.” She answers all of my questions.
“Okay. See you then.”
“Oh, and one last thing. Don’t Tell Coach.”
“Don’t worry, I wont tell Ridge.” I say as I walk towards the locker room.
Once I’m in the locker room I grab a quick shower and put on my white jeans, my purple lace blouse, and my Purple leopard print sneakers. As I leave my hair naturally curls itself. I get into my car and head back to my apartment. I get to the parking lot and get out, grabbing my gym bag and locking my car.
