of it. I am much taller than you, and didn’t had much time to do all of it.”

“Oh, and what’s his dream?”

“Hm… from what I know... to be first in all this kind of competitions. He want to be famous.” I nodded, raising my eyebrow “Okay, let’s start until he comes. Stretching before the serious part. Sit on the grass and touch your toes on each leg 50 times, then we’ll make 3 rounds of the whole garden.”

“Whole garden… That’s… ugh…” I looked the garden with narrowed eyes “5 kilometers!”

“Exactly.” I sighed heavily and sat on the grass.

 

“Aight. 10 minutes rest.”  Emend said “And we keep going” I sat on the grass and laid back. This woman will kill me. Literally. And she’s evil. I felt Axel scent and I looked him on right side. “Why you leave me with this evil woman?” He laughed happily

“I’m here, sweetheart. I was sent to the designer. He’s waiting you.”

“After the trainings.” He threw me a bottle of water

“I saw you from the room. You run fast for a little girl.”

“Thank you!” I opened the bottle and drank from it.

“Get up.” Emend said. “Let me show you the basics.” I sighed and nodded, she made some signs to Axel and he sat on the motorcycle keeping it standstill. She sat behind him. “First of all you need to focus, to have balance, and to know what you are doing. There’s no place for fear. You get it?” I nodded “There’s just 7 cascades. For the two kilometers. ”

“I’ll be watching” Harry said and sat on the grass behind me, I moved next to him again.

“One of the most used positions is called ‘Amateur’ and everybody are starting with it. The position is… the woman standstill behind the rider.” She stood up with feet together and hands stretched on her sides.

“She did that already, when we were coming home” Axel said she looked me and nodded.

“What?” I heard Harry beside me and I looked him shrugging.

“Second is called ‘For newbies’ most used one is… sitting on his shoulders” She moved her legs front him and sat on his shoulders. “Some people are staying standstill on the rider’s shoulders. That is the phase two of ‘For newbies’ cascades, also the third cascade.” She moved front him nimbly “fourth one is called ‘Butterfly’ ” She fast laid on her belly on the motorcycle and placed her feet on Axel’s shoulders. “You should be laying on the motor. You don’t have to hold anywhere or they take points... easiest way is to keep your hands behind your back.”

“So basically you are going to be really careful” I said

“You always have to be careful Jess. Last 4 are dangerous.”

“How do you get off this position, at all?”

“The rider helps” Axel said, he caught her feet, spread and placed them down on his sides, and she sat on the motorcycle front him, way too close that I wanted her to be. Immediately she stood up and went behind.

“I see”

“Fifth one is really difficult. You literally don’t have space to move.”

“What do you mean?” I saw some teens like me coming and sitting around us.

“For tall women this is the most hard part of the cascades, also for me. I am 5’7. I barely could move behind him. But you are 5’3 around, you can move flexible.”

“Show it, woman” Ash said sitting next to me and he smiled to me, I nodded for greeting and smiled too.

“Don’t call me a woman Ash. I am your mother, not your wife. Fifth cascade is called ‘The clown’” I raised my eyebrow. ‘The clown’? “Don’t make this face. You just have to do this.” Emend took deep breath and moved on end of the passage seat behind Axel. She placed her hand front her feet, and raised her feet in the air, so basically she was staying on one hand.. My mouth stayed wide open. “This is one of the most valuable cascades in the competition. Most girls don’t do it, because of their height.” She placed one of her feet next to her hand and then the other one and raised her head.

“Can you keep yourself on one hand” Axel said and everybody looked me. I smirked. Of course I can. I live among wolves after all. I stood up moving my shoulders, with velocity behind and placed my hand the grass and raised my feet in the air. “Okay she can” Axel said when I placed my feet on the ground

“Yes she does, but how much she can handle it? Each position should be around maximum 6-7 seconds, plus the high speed and the wind, they always pick the day with rain.” I looked her “We’ll work that out. The sixth cascade is called ‘Ballerina’. You are staying on the ride’s shoulder on one feet. Your hand should be staying on your foot or his shoulder to keep balance, while the other foot is in the air. Your legs should make a line, like the ballerina’s stretching before making a dance. You know it right?”  She climbed on the motorcycle again, she placed her left leg on Axel’s shoulder. First she raised just on her right leg in the air, then leaned forward and placed her hand on Axel’s “Here comes and the rider’s strength. If he doesn’t have it… everything is ruined.” She stepped on the back seat

“You are so flexible mom” Ash said next to me

“I know, we used to go… for about 4-5 years before you were born. I keep checking the news. 1 more cascade left. ”

“Okay” I said

“That’s the seventh cascade. It’s one of the rarest of all. Almost nobody is doing it. If they try there’s always accidents, because the rider lose control of his motor. We tried it once and we ended first. Ready Axel?”  He nodded. Emend stood up stand still on his shoulders. Axel raised his hand and kept it front his face. She caught his hand with her left one and locked their fingers. She leaned a bit and took few deep breathes, raised one of her legs, and then with small jump she raised and the other one. She stayed on his hand, with spread legs in the air. After few seconds she moved her right leg one of her right side then moved her right hand and touches her toes. Her legs made 3 o’clock shape.

“I have to do this?!” I said shocked

“It’s easier than you think… but everything depends from Axel, if he’s going to keep you stand still.” She placed both of her legs on the back seat “You’ll get used to it.”

“I’m sure of it…” I sighed

“Well, let’s keep going?!”

“Sure”

Chapter 9 - Red rose

 Jessica’s P.O.V

Dear diary,

Well, what can I say actually? We started the training, for the competition, everything is seriously complicated! In total, we have to make 7 cascades for 2 kilometers range and I have to keep myself on each cascade for 6 seconds. I tried everything and I think I did pretty well, but on the last two I made mistakes. If we have tried that while driving, it’s was going to be really bad.

After all, I tried all 5 cascades while Axel drives the motor. It’s not easy and I’m slow in moving, I have to increase my speed. But I made them without a mistake! I feel sad that I can’t learn the last two in time.

I started high school, which is good. I’ll graduate this year and I’ll think later what I’ll do. I and Ash are in same class, and we hang out around in school. We made kind of awful reputation to be honest. Of best duo of volleyball plus with some of our raging, we beat up few people. Harry was ready to kill us both.

Well, if there’s anything I’ll wrote more. Yes, my dear diary, I am too busy for you, but I can always make few minutes for you. Sorry!

I drank from my juice in the school canteen with Ash. This school is not really bad. Actually it’s the same as mine in Toulon, but the uniform is different. Instead of green colors, we are with yellow one, and here we have ribbon, yellow again, instead of green tie. The school canteen is on two floors. We are sitting on the 2nd floor on the balcony. I have good view of the first floor. My thoughts are all around the competitions. Mostly on the last two cascades. That I can’t make it.

“What is this bullshit?” I said and I hit the chair who was next to me, it hit the wall. Few people looked at us.

“For what?” he sighed, when I looked at him “Cascades again?”

“Man, this two… I can’t keep balance!” I smashed my juice and threw it into the trash can.

“Let’s train all the combinations today in gym class? I don’t see any other way to help you.”

“Sure. Sup with you? Not in mood today?”

“How is it possible... to feel attraction to a human?”

“Well, you are horny, its’ normal” I stated and looked down on first floor.

“Do you see the black haired girl with glasses over there?” he pointed the table in middle of the room. I nodded. Short girl, with black hair and green eyes. Wearing her skirt, longer than everybody else, and keep her hair in two braids, with classes. She wasn’t alone, she was with another guy and a girl. “I feel insane attracted by her.” I narrowed my eyes.

“Amy, the Stanley’s are watching you” a girl next to her said.

“Eeh?” I stood up and laid my elbows on the railing. Ash stood up next to me with his hands into his pockets. Amy looked up to us. She twitched under our look. “Why are they watching me…?”

“Have you done anything to them?” she shook her head

I sighed and looked Ash. His look was gentle, and with some sympathetic love. I raised my eyebrows. This boy is in love with a human. With long light browed hair and brown eyes, he looked amazing. Tall and full of energy. Might be perfect for her. Not too rude, not too cute and girlish. Getting pissed fast because of the hormones, but oh well… I am the same.

“Help me cascades, and I’ll help you with her”

“Really, you’ll do that?!” I nodded and looked my nails, then her again. Amy was looking at me, then Ash, then again me. I waved my hand and smiled. “Don’t be too harsh to her.”

“Depends on my mood.” I laughed and pushed my fist on his shoulders. “Let’s go to her?”

“Are you crazy?!” I shrugged and pulled his hand, I went down the stars and pulled to her table. Some kids were watching me. I pushed him on the chair and stood behind him

“You must be Amy?!” I said smiling, pointing at the girls with glasses “And your friends…” less enthusiasm. She nodded and looked Ash.

“May I help you with something?” Fast heartbeat… hands shaking and nervous.

“Oh, yea. You are good in Literature, right?” she nodded “May I ask for a favor?”

“W-what favor.” I placed my hand on Ash’s head, trusted my fingers in his hair

“This hurts woman”

“Shut up” I pulled his head down “He’s not good in Literature… and today I
