Even though we had the pressure of winning the competition, it was still a pretty relaxing and fun time. I am going places I have never been to because of my dance...LA, Seattle. This is another reason why dancing makes me happy and I plan on doing it forever. I have been dancing continuously since the past 7 years without almost any break except when Ashley injured my leg and I had to take a break. I am finally done with my college essay and SOP. Mr Fitz has very well approved of it. Its December end so I am finally submitting my college application to Juilliard, Duke University, Chapman University and many more. We can submit application till February end but obviously we won't wait till the end to submit it, the earlier the better.

There isn't much left for me to do in dance because we don't have  to take part in any dance championships anymore so we just randomly practice and our coach has told us that we may learn the choreos the others learn for the upcoming championship in April if we want to for fun. We obviously will.

Should we be preparing for finals at that time and not waste extra time at dance? Yes

Will we be doing that? Yes

It's football match time! Many recruiters will be here to see the students who have applied to their universities and if they are worthy of being of being selected. Its the finals and everyone is very nervous.  Though Liam is naturally a very calm person, these football matches make him very nervous and jittery. Earlier he used cigarettes to calm his nerves but it has been over a year since he has quit. He was never a compulsive or chain smoker but used it when he was stressed. I am sure he needs a cigarette badly right now as he paces the canteen with Wesley while we eat. 

"You are distracting us!", Em yells while throwing her water bottle at Wesley.

"I am only accompanying him to stress walk", Wesley says, "look at him bite down those nails down to their nail bed"

"Pretty sure he grows them only so that he can bite them when he is stressed", Amy says.

"I agree"

"Same"

"You need to eat to be able to play well", I say as I throw him my apple and he absentmindedly chews on it. Andrew is the most chill here, he does not get stressed very easily.

As we sit in the canteen I feel something, something like a tap open. Ugh not again. I immediately rush out of the canteen to my locker to get my stuff. I hate this time of the month. I am not someone who gets intolerable cramps but I like to relax and just lay down during those 3 days. Yes, I enjoy being god's favourite in this matter. I put on my pad, yes I don't use tampons. I am scared of inserting stuff up there, maybe in the future I'll use them but not now. 

"I want something sweet", I say when I reach our table and lay my head down.

"That time of the 'bloody' month huh?", Liam asks as he stuffs Andrew's pizza.

"Funny", I say. He makes the same joke almost every month and laughs alone.

"I know. Just go with the flow", everyone actually laughs this time.

"Aren't you supposed to walk around, worrying about your match?"

"Yea well this is helping me distract my mind. I'll make jokes whenever I like.  Period"

"Hilarious" 

"You know you love them", I actually do most of the time.

The school stadium is full tonight as it is the finals. Almost everyone from school is here along with people from the opposing school. People are cheering loudly and it is a melange of different noises and smells. Our team is on their edge discussing their their strategy for the final time with the coach. 

Wesley and Liam are the forward and they stand at the middle line. Amy, Emily, Ian, Jake and I are sitting in the front row cheering for our friends. my stomach is aching a little but I don't care cuz we are going for dessert later. I see Wesley try to control his anger as the captain of the opposite team tries to get him riled up. It is easy to get Wes angry. The other team is very aggressive and our team players are falling very often but none of their players are getting yellow cards. Its infuriating and all of the players seem pissed. By half time the opposing team is leading by 1-0. The coach seems like he is giving a pep talk to them the other coach is doing the same to his team to motivate them to win. Our throats feel as rough as a pumice stone from all the screaming.

The game starts to get interesting. The defenders carry the ball the ahead and passes the ball to Liam who dribbles and dodges the balls through the opposition and gives a long pass to Dan, another forward who does a header and send the ball swinging past the goal keeper's hand into the goal. By the end of 90 minutes, the game is tied and its penalty time. The crowd goes wild as player come one by one to do the penalty shoot. By the end of the 5 shoots the score is 5-4 and we win! We jump out of our seats. Wesley is literally just gloating in front of the opposing team's captain who was annoying him earlier. After celebrating with his team he comes towards our seats, his countenance glistening with sweat and full of excitement. We kiss and he goes back to his team. There is an after party at somebody's house so we cancel our dessert plans and go to that party instead. 

There are too many people at the this party and I already wanna go back. I am here just to eat. Just before we left Wesley and the other captain got into a brawl. It was scary but fun. Wesley got beat up bad before the other team members reached them. He has a black eye and a bleeding nose. 

"What a fight!", we all tease him.

"I am not the only one who got beaten up! Look at our oh so innocent Liam as well", oh did I tell that Liam has a bleeding lip and a bruise on his cheek because he got punched bad while trying to stop the fight? It was an interesting night.

"It pains! Had fun starting the fight Wes?", he groans.

"I didn't! He did! Right Nyra, Em?"

"Oh we didn't remember who started we just remember you'll getting punched hard in the face", Wes started it.

"Oh well take that punch and 'plug' it up your ass", Liam says and it takes my slow brain a minute to understand that.

"Well jokes on you, I don't use plugs", and the entire night passes as we eat and joke.
