Dana saw tears in Mallory’s eyes and hoped the Superiors would leave before they noticed.

Tori opened her mouth to yell, but Shelly cut her off. “Forget it,” said Shelly. “They are not worth our time.”

With that, the Sumner group moved on to the trampoline. Dana was still fuming and tried to calm herself. Focus. They don’t matter.

Dana saw Mallory’s eyes clear up. She put her hand on her shoulder. “You okay?” she asked her friend. “Thanks for jumping in like that.”

Mallory nodded. “I saw you were trying to play by the rules, and thought you could use some help,” she said.

Dana headed over to the mat. This time it took a few minutes for the music to draw her in. Once it did, it was just her and the floor. She saw her routine in her mind and followed it. The splits, forward rolls, and flips soon became easy.

“Nice work,” said Paula when Dana paused to catch her breath. Dana jumped. She didn’t know anyone was watching.

“Thanks,” said Dana.

“I’m not just talking about the floor,” said Paula. “You were great with the Superiors, too. I don’t think I would have said anything.”

Dana shrugged and said, “I thought about what Coach Jasmine said. I just wanted to practice and win the right way.”

Paula patted her on the back. “Whatever you’re doing, keep it up,” she said.

Dana blushed. “Thanks,” she said. Then she noticed the quiet of the gym. She looked around. All the teams were practicing together and sharing all the equipment. Even the Superiors.
