I raisedat the fans, and took my next position behind the Warriors

They were pissed The Wranglers had scored within the first sixlike sailors behind me I focused on the crowd and tried to pick out so mother with a baby strapped to her chest, a Warriors’ hat on its little head I targeted her and kept ht ahead

What was I going to do? Mycrazy Sam was on the other side of the field We had royally fucked this up I tried to keep calm, but it was nearly impossible It wasn’t as if I had slept with one of the Warriors players But maybe this orse Everyone on lers I’d never heard of a rivalry like this until I became a Goddess

I was sure I had broken some type of Goddess code I had probably violated an employee rule There could be consequences They could throw me off the dance squad

“What is wrong with you?” Presley asked from the corner of her mouth

I waved at the baby again “Nothing” I grinned

“You look like you’re in pain and you’re s all weird”

I took a deep breath and kicked hed, but if Presley could see it onit

“This is the ether”

“I’m fine,” I replied “Let’s dance like we’re supposed to”

I slung ether so we could kick across each other Maybe if I focused on the routines I’d forget Saet that I was falling apart

It wasn’t working I felt off balance I was s I lost the uy staring at ed

What had I done?

“Ow,” Presley whined

“Sorry Sorry” I had pinched her shoulder I wasn’t paying attention to anything but the fact that on the other side of this field was the ht stand I’d ever experienced I couldn’t get him out of my head
