Falling, Fallen

Chapter 1

- My name is Sacha McDaniel, im sixteen years old, and I live in Boston, I said.

- Okay, Sacha McDaniel, Your number is 22, Nikki answered while writing down everything I just said.

I took my number then went to the toilet. 

- Just breathe, just breathe, I said to myself while staring in the mirror. Its just an audition, no big deal. except the damn fact its infront of Americas best dancer. And this is the only way for me to become a professional balett dancer.

I stared in the mirror for minutes. Suddenly I heard knocks on the door. I opened to see who it was.

- Sweetie, why are you hiding here?, the woman at the door asked.

- Im sorry Joy, I answered. Im just so scared, even though i've been practicing for days.

- Gurl, you got this! Joy nearly shouted.

We decided to wait in the waiting room instead. Joy was my best friend. When I was six years I started dancing. Thats when I met her. Since then we have been dancing together. 

I came for the lead role in Nikki Waltons play. I had seen every balett stepp from her since I was a child.

- Number 56, 73, 101, 22 och 99 can start preparing for their audition in five minutes, a lady said in the speakers. 

- Oh my lord, thats me! I told Joy stressed. 

We all who came to audition walked into a room with Nikki and some other judges. 

- Welcome to the audition for my new play, She said. I suppose you all came for the lead?

Everyone nodded. I could feel my whole body shaking. I was so scared and nervous I could barely breathe.

- Well then, in place!, Nikki said confident. 

- Aand, start! Nikki shouted. 

Then the music started. My feets started moving. Everything felt good. I knew the choreography we all got, but somehow I couldn't remember the next part. I felt the sweat coming and I had to do something. I just couldn't let this chance slide. 

I tried to follow the other dancing girls, but it was impossible. The only thing I could do was improvise. And thats what I did. 

seconds felt like minutes. Finally the music stopped. 

- Number 73, 56, 99 and number ...
