FLASHBACK SIDETRACK. ❜
" 𝐀𝐋𝐑𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐓'𝐒 𝐄𝐍𝐎𝐔𝐆𝐇 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐓𝐎𝐃𝐀𝐘, " a ladylike voice stated as she stopped the music from playing. The well-lit ballet room was filled with the sounds of tired pants and the stench of sweat, the warmth radiating off the heaters provided no room for the winter weather outside.
14-year-old Hitomi slumped down onto the vinyl flooring as she scoured through her gym bag for her water bottle. It had been almost 7 years since the girl had gotten adopted and 7 years was an ample amount of time to shape someone into a new person, even someone like her. She was the textbook definition of rags to riches, an out of this world scenario you would hear coming out of a kid's mouth.
" You're getting better every lesson, if you keep this up you'll hold the title of Junior Champion for 2 consecutive years and break the record you set the previous year too. " Hitomi never knew the word 2nd place, frankly she never needed to, ever since her first competition she's only known to grace the presence of 1st place on the podium.
But she always felt like she could do more, she wanted to do more.
" Better but not the best. " The young ballerina stated whilst untying the lace ribbon wrapped around her leg. That was how it always was, Hitomi never played around when it came to ballet, in fact she practically radiated a completely different aura when it came to dance.
" It takes time for someone to become the best, it's already a huge deal how you've managed to rise up so fast── " the teacher was cut off by the sound of her student's pointe shoes being smacked hard against the floorboard.
" I know, I know. We've had this talk a million times now, I need to be patient and slowly improve my── Why won't this pair loosen up? " She cut herself off irritably, " I'm still going to be the best eventually. For mom, dad and you, teacher Saito. " The teen declared, Ms. Saito smiled a genuine smile as she watched her brightest student.
" Well, you can start by proving yourself overseas. " She said, her head had never snapped towards a direction faster. Hitomi had completely stopped all movement that was happening and froze.
" What do you mean overseas? " The shocked girl asked, " teacher what's happening? "
Ms. Saito's smile grew even larger to the point where it strained her cheek muscles from being unable to contain her excitement. " Well, remember the role you auditioned for last month? You got the part! They were captivated and mesmerized by your performance that they wanted to sign you under their company, this is going to be your big break internationally! "
