Blue just became my new favorite color. Media day?
Avery
Yep. Photos, interviews, more cheesy questions. I’ll be sure to let our team manager know the views we’re getting are creepy dudes checking us out.
Me
I doubt she’ll be surprised by that. I take it you’re not a fan of photos?
I glance back up at Brogan’s phone still streaming. It’s panned now to show someone being photographed. She’s standing in front of a white backdrop with lights all around. She does jumps and poses as flashes go off quickly.
Avery
No, that part isn’t so bad.
Me
Knowing creepy dudes (aka me and Brogan) are watching ruin it for you?
Avery
lol, no. I’ll be sure to stick my boobs and butt out next time I’m on camera just for you.
I chuckle to myself, but despite her joking tone I can’t shake the sense that there’s something about today that she’s dreading.
Me
I appreciate that. Maybe just text me that though instead of doing it on a public video. You really will have creepy dudes hitting you up.
Avery
You mean others like you?
Me
Exactly.
She sends a photo a second later. One shoulder pushed forward, head angled to the side and her chest pushed out dramatically. She is gorgeous even when she’s mocking me.
Me
Ah perfect. Send more. I’ll see if I can sell them to my brother. #gymnasticschicksarehot
I’m smiling at my phone, but still wondering why she doesn’t like media day. I thought girls loved getting dressed up and having photos taken.
Avery
Such a sweetheart.
Me
That’s me.
Me
So, what’s the issue with media day? Why do you look like you want to be anywhere else?
