slender fingers tapped the back of the person he was approaching, ‘‘remember me?’’ he asked, Addison glanced towards his friendship group who were egging him on with laughs and wide smiles. He looked away from his friends, not wanting the other to catch on that other people were watching the conversation going on. ‘‘wait..I do know you, right?’‘ He questioned. 

Gabriel wasn’t stupid of all things. In fact, he was quite observant and it was easy to note the group that the other male had come away from. A California Allstar approaching him. This had to be a joke, surely. So he just rolled his eyes and fixed the other with an unimpressed stare. “I’m on the same team as you, dumbass.” He responded flatly. “Did you want somwthing or are you just here to bug me? Hm?”

     “you know, i heard a rumour that two teams have the same routine this year. how embarrassing! i mean, who’s so lazy that they can’t use their brains to make a routine for themselves? i guess that’s what they get for being so lame!”

“I mean, you could also try not gossipping about other teams. That would be such a great idea, right? Anyway, you should be glad if two teams have the same routine. Means it discredits two and gets them out of your way. More room on the road to victory.”

❝ AM I the only one that’s a little disappointed that last year’s champions aren’t here this year ?? I would have loved to win against them. Now that would have been a victory !!  ❞

“Implies we’re gonna win. And we won’t unless we work our asses off.” He arched a brow at his teammate. “Besides, shouldn’t you be glad that we have less competition? Helps us secure a win easier.”

Tapping furiously on the keyboard, Alina ignored the cup of coffee that she’d purchased twenty minutes earlier and barely touched, allowing it to go cold. Any second spent not typing was a second wasted, she reckoned, and her editor’s demands were becoming increasingly unworkable. She noticed someone out of the corner of her eye, but chose to ignore them, focusing solely on her laptop. However, after a minute or so, sensing they were still there, she sighed deeply, closing the lid of her laptop and raising an eyebrow at the other person “Can I help you”? she asked, her tone brusquer than usual.  

Now, Gabriel knew that the other woman was competition. Competition from South Jersey Storm to be more specific. So he wasn’t about to pass up an opportunity to fraternise a little and mess with her. Even if he did keep it somewhat lighthearted. He was an antagonist by nature. “Ouch, dollface. Your tone almost makes it sound like you don’t want to talk to me.” He slumped down into the chair opposite her, sipping from the takeaway cup and dropping the duffel bag by his feet. “What’cha working on?”

“okay i need to practice on my tumbiling and all so why are we here in in&out?”

“Well, I thought I could help you with your tumbling. Maybe. Being a gymnast, I could probably give you some helpful tips. We are on the same team, after all.”
