The challenge wasn’t much to either of them. While working on their own tasks, they kept glancing over at how she was doing.

Natalie was juggling the ball like a pro. Nooked like the soccer ball was glued to her foot. Each bounce was at height and rhythm, her breathing stayed perfectly steady.

The students on the sidelines couldn’t take their eyes of her.

The campus queen can juggle too? Is there anything Natalie can’t do? She was already killing it on the basketba yesterday!”

She’s so steady! Mine drops after three, but she’s still going after dozens!”

Look at her face. She’s not even nervous. It’s like she’s just going through the notions, as easy as breathing.”

‘Man, I’m getting really curious now. What other skills is she hiding from us?”

Jason kept doing push–ups, sneaking glances at Natalie. Watching her juggle the ball, he felt a wave of pride wash

They finished the task without a hitch and got their hands on the map piece for the playground.

‘Wait, wait, wait Why is Jason’s assistant asking her for a signed photo?”
