Poor Jillian. I leaned forward in my seat to see what would happen next. She got up right away and continued with her program. She even had a huge smile on her face. I was sure the judges would give her credit for getting up after a fall. After all, Jillian had the courage to keep going with her program. As the final chord of the music played, Jillian was back in the center of the rink with her hands high up over her head. She smiled and waved at the crowd. Then she skated to the side of the rink, hugged Coach Brown, and disappeared. Mommy pointed to the large board in the center of the rink, where the judges’ scores would appear.

I watched the board. I squeezed Jillian’s bear and crossed my fingers for good luck. “Oh, please. Oh, please,” I said over and over, hoping for Jillian’s scores to be good.

The bright-red numbers of the first score made the crowd boo. It was a low score. And so was the next one. And the next one. I could not believe it. Jillian finished the competition in fifth place.
