Ash's POV:

"Did you find the marshmallows?" I asked.

"I sure did," he smiled.

Everyone cheered as we all grabbed a few. We were all around the fire that Janet suggested that we make. She was really nice to everyone and they all told me how much they loved her already.

"So what do you all plan on doing once you're finished with the academy?" She asked.

"Well I still have two more years to go. But I plan on getting a job. I wasn't so sure about coming back here. My whole plan was to find Gabriel. Now that I have I don't really have a solid plan," Faith said.

"There isn't any rush. At least you know you want a job. Most kids around your age don't. Do you know what you want to study or work as?" Janet asked.

"College is something I have in mind. My dad always wanted me to go. And I know he'll pay for it even if I tell him not to. But I do want to go into the business field. It's easier to find a job that way. And I'll most likely minor in music."

"Why not audition for Juilliard?" Janet asked.

"Juilliard? I can not audition for Juilliard. There's no way. They won't even let me walk through the front door," Faith exclaimed.

"You'd be surprised how many weirdos they let into that school," Janet smiled.

"You've been?!" Faith said almost jumping out of her chair.

"My mom went to Juilliard for 5 years and taught a few classes there," Dylan said.

"I had the best time there. Waking up every morning to go do something I loved. I even got to live with my best friend because she went to school in New York,"Janet smiled.

"That's so cool. Where did she study?" Gabriel asked.

"The New York City Ballet," I said.

Everyone turned their heads to look at me as I starred into the fire. I felt Dylan hug me closer to him and I looked up at him and smiled. He then started to feed me marshmallows.

"The best of her time," Janet said.

"Really?! What year?!" Gabriel shot up.

"Ummm...1996 to 2000. And she also taught for years after that," Janet said.

"NO WAY! Your best friend is Charlotte Princeton?!" Gabriel jumped up with a big smile on his face.

"You've heard of her?" I asked.

"You haven't told them?" Faith smiled.

"Don't," he said with a very serious face.

"Gabriel here was a huge dancer when we were younger. He would cry for hours because he wanted to go watch the nutcracker. My dad finally gave in and took all of us. We all thought he was gay," Faith laughed.

"This is the best information I've received in months," Tyler laughed.

"I don't see why it's so funny. Everyone has a hobby," he sat down and pouted.

"So you can dance?" I asked.

"Sort of," he mumbled.

"Bullshit. He would practice for hours. And he even won a few dance competitions," Faith laughed.

"Shut up," he said giving her a look.

"My mom would have me in the studio for hours. And I hated it. I remember Janet forced Dylan to do a dance number with me and he dropped me five times because he had noodle arms," I laughed.
