Jacqueline stared at the mat with a disdained look on her face. Beside her lay one rope, one ball, one hoop and a ribbon. She seriously couldn't believe she was doing this, again. When she was six through to 13 she had done rythmic gymnastics, not professionally, but she had entered many competions, and won a large percentage of them. Sighing, she sat back with her hands placed behind her for balance. From the office, her sports teacher watched her intently. She was the reason Jacqueline was here. Jacqueline had skipped a lesson or two and was failing sport. The sports teacher, Ms Wolf, had told her that if she joined the school rythmic gymnastics team, she would move her up to a C. Considering Daddy would KILL her if he found out she skipped to be with a guy, the deal seemed fair. Or fair enough.
Come of Jacqueline. came a voice over the loud speaker. Looking back to the staff room, Jacquie pouted, but stood up. At least show me the step, shassy, cat leap, circumduction. Jacquie rolled her eyes and turned away. She presented, then did a near perefect shassy, finishing off with an immaculate cat leap. God. she said as she attempted the circumduction. This move required the gymnast to kneel on the floor, and twist their body around them in a circle. Difficult for some one who hadn't done it in 3 years. However, she did it reasonably well, but a bit jerky. SHe stood up again, and suddenly Ms. Wolf was behind her. Jacquie gasped in fright. Don't do that! she said in her Queen Bee voice. I would like you to do this routine. she said dryly, handing her a piece of paper. As quickly as she came, she turned and left, watching from the staffroom where her lunch was quickly getting cold.
Jacquie looked down at the list, which read:
- standing circumduction (with hoop)
- revolution downwards, kick back up,
- passet pivot
- backwards exchange
- rolling shassy step catleap
- passet balance
- jump through hoop
- finger rotation, walking
- attitude pivot
- exchange
- shannay
- kneeling circumduction
- swooshka
- shassay step wolf jump
- attitude balance
- present
Pouting and sulky, she began on the routine, which she began perfectly.
