"You shouldn’t have even come to this competition!"
I had to get up very early that morning, because we had to be at the competition at 6:30 AM. The high school where the competition was held was extremely small.

Sadly, I had to have another eight weeks without sports/dance, and I still had to do boring physical therapy. I still got to go to the competitions with my friends and support them, which was
