Artemis saw the tears from the girl while she ate. She sniffed the food she had just cooked to see if it was not good, then took a small bite of it. Was it the food? No the food tasted just fine from what she could tell. She looked at the fire to see if it was something there. Looking back at the girl she felt compellled to ask what happened but decided not to. Instead, she spoke softly to her. "Hey Are you ok?" She put a comforting hand on the girls shoulder after putting the food back down.
Cora walked up to the high dive and looked down at the deep water nervously. She was suppose to do a triple flip with a triple twist in the straight position. Even for the high board this was a difficult task. She looked at the people that were watching from below. They all looked small and excited from what she could see. Stepping onto the board she put her hands in the air and took four quick steps to the edge of the board. With the last step, she bounded into the air and landed on the board again. She threw her body forward in a twisting position. Her body did what she had told it to. She flipped three times and with every flip there was a full twist. She hit the water feet first and hands to her sides. Unfortunately she over rotated a bit and made a bigger splash than she was suppose to. The coach told her that she had thrown her body a little too hard and that she had to rotate her arms a little faster on the board when she bounced. She swam out of the way for the next person to go with their reverse double twist. She watched as the male twisted a little more than he was suppose to but other than that, he landed in the water with his hands and feet pointed, head first. If he had been wearing swim trunks they wouldve come off. There were a couple others going on the board though they didnt really know what to do. She did the same thing when it was her turn. This time she got it right. She did it a couple more times and then went to the reverse douple flip, another difficult move. The coach was really stock piling the difficulty points on her. When the class was done, she noticed that Laurent had been sitting on the bench the whole time.
