The New Queen

Dreaming of Rio

“It’s awesome” Vika said. “The village is just sex city for two whole weeks” Anna smiled. “I seriously cannot wait”
“Im excite—competition first through” Anna said. “After the all around I’ll relax”
“I want to meet someone” Aliya said. “I improved my English a lot since London. I want a nice American boy” Anna giggled.
“Well there will be a nice British boy waiting for me in Rio” Anna said. “I can’t wait to see him again. I hope he likes me” Aliya chuckled.
“He fangirls over you” Aliya said. “He wants you—I hope you have practice”
“I do” Anna replied with a smirk.
“Are we thinking about the same thing?” Vika asked. “Sex?”
“Yeah, I was with Pavel” she said. “I don’t really remember—I think I blacked out”
“PAvel wasn’t that great” Aliya said. “We can do better”
“he wasn’t a bad person, I just don’t want something too serious. It was a nice fling while it lasted”
Aliya smirked. “Remember you stole him from me?”
“I did not”
“Yeah you did, you made him happy and it made me very jealous” she said. “Im glad you got him though, he really liked you”
Anna didn’t respond. “Boys are complicated”
“They are”
“Although, the medals aren’t really that important” Anna said. “I want to do my best and if I do I’ll be fine with nothing”
“Really?”
“No, I’ll have a mental breakdown” she said honestly. “I just want one gold”
“Trust me, with your skills you’ll get quite a few gold medals” Aliya said. She hugged her. “You’re the new queen”
“I want to party” Vika said. Anna and Aliya laughed. “What?”
“You’re not exactly a party kid, Vika, not like Anna and I”

Right before Rio a lot of things changd. A lot of people were getting serious injuries. Like Grishina, she was out with a town ACL.
PAvel started giving and Aliya a ton of shit. He called them sluts and th wost thing to ever happen to them.
Tom lost contact with Anna. They stopped talking all together over their VK.com accounts. Training for both of them became rough. The girls were putting in more hours in the gym and really focusing on doing full routines and staying in shape.
It was the worst part of this whole Olympic journey for Anna. But then it came time to choose the team.
