Dance tryouts

It was Monday morning 6:30 I shut off my alarm and jumped in the shower. I had dance tryouts today after school. I get out and went to my bed room, I put on a pink neon mid thigh dress that had flower looking lace over it, it shows half my back had a wife beater looking top, I paired them with white flower flats. I put on light make up and straightened my hair. I grabbed my stuff and went downstairs. I saw my mom in the kitchen she looked like she'd been crying, her eyes are red and there's tear staines on her cheeks. "Mom?" "Are you ok?" I said walking towards her. "Yea fine" she said fake smiling. I didn't push her. I ate breakfast and left for school.

After school I went to find Tyler but he wasn't there. "James" I say grabbing his arm "hey Riley what's up" "have you seen Tyler?" "Nope" he walked away so I went to the locker room to change. I had my pink sports bra with black lining and my black spandex. I put on my black and pink high tops. Yea I know what your thinking. I have to match, in Arizona Lucy and I were on the dance team and tryouts/ practice it's our thing. I walk to the gym and see 12 people in line to tryouts. The team only has 6/12, there going to do 3 girls and 3 boys. I run in to a girl with light brown hair that goes to her mid waist she has light green eyes she was a small girl about 5'4 she was wearing black spandex with a neon orange sports bra " omg I'm so sorry" i say " its ok I'm kylee" she says with her hand out "Riley" i say shaking it. "Ok everyone line up" says a tall blonde boy "I'm mike the co-captain the captain will be here a little late" he explains " this is megan" he says pointing to the very short girl with short black hair "mia" pointing to the very tall red head "Francisco" he says pointing to the Mexican and " Angela" he says pointing to the tall mixed girl. "We will do a  routine and you Will repeat after us" everyone nodded. They did a short routine and we repeated after that he said "now you will all do a solo dance" everyone nodded again "first up Chase" he was a very hot tall light brown hair boy with teddy bear color eyes very muscular he was wearing blue gym shirts with a white t-shirt. He did his own dance and he was really good. "Kylee" she was amazing she did some dips and spins "mya" she was ok "Jordan" she was so good she made the team look bad "Riley" I did a routine that won Arizona championship last year "Spencer" he was good a couple more people went "ok all of you were good but we only have room for the best " with that he started calling names "for the girls we have Jordan, Kylee, and Riley" me and kylee hugged and was jumping up and down. I don't even know why. "For the guys we have Chase,  Spencer and Toby"

We all talked for about 5 more minutes when I heard a familiar deep voice "hey guys sorry I'm late did you get the rest of the team" I turned around to so Tyler wearing black sweat pants and a white t-shirt. My jaw was on the floor. Tyler was our dance captain?!?! "Riley you did it!" He said running over to me hugging me and spinning us around. I was in shock. I didn't know Tyler could dance. It all makes since now, how everyone new him, he was popular.  "Ok team lets stretch out and get dancing we have our first competition in 3 weeks" Tyler said. We practiced for 3 hours. It was about 7 so I drove home.

"Mom guess what?" I said running in the house. That reminded me off 1 years ago when I lived in Arizona when my father was alive.
            (Flash back of 1 years ago)

I just made the dance team and I drove home to tell my mom. I ran through the door and into the living room I stopoed desd in my trackes as I saw my brother in tries holding my mom who was crying her eyes out. My brother never cries so i knew it was serious I ran over to her and hugged then asking what's wrong finally my brother spoke "he died" he said through tears "what who did" I ask confused. "Dad he he" my brother said "GOD DAMN IT RYAN JUST SPIT IT OUT ALREADY!!" I yell I was annoyed I wasnted to know what happen.  "Dad he died ok he's gone" I fell to my knees and started bailing my daddy was gone gone forever!
End on flashback

My mom wasn't crying this time. She was cleaning I ran to her. "Mom guess what" I say running in yhe kitchen.  She smiled "what sweety?" "I MADE THE DANCE TEAM!!" She hugged me and said good job before handing me my dinner and went back to cleaning. I finished eating and went to sleep.
