Yours

Simon's Office

[Rebecca's POV]

     I arrived back from my dance class. My coach informed me that I got an audition for my dream school. I was in the state where I could not believe that my dream school chose me out of 50 people to give an audition too. I was so excited; I screamed for about a minute straight just staring at the letter I had in my hand at the time. I mean, this is a once in a life time chance. My dream school gives an audition to only a few selected students. We have to fly to London for the audition- The academy is located in London. Ridiculously, there is only one day for auditions. The academy is strict and they mean business. That is why from this day on I will be dedicating all my time into practice. I have got to. I have to be great in order to reach my dreams.

     I got off the phone with Sabrina, my best friend, telling her the big news and she was screaming her lungs off. She was so elated for me. Sabrina said she was coming straight over to congratulate me. I told Reese, my boyfriend, right when I got it; he seemed happy. At least I think he was. I have not told my parents yet, but I cannot wait to tell them. They both know just how much I have wanted this.

     "Rebecca can you come down here for a second?" My dad's voice shouted from downstairs.

    I sighed and got up to see what they wanted. I grabbed the letter and put it in my back pocket to show them once I get down there. I was still in  a daze that my dreams were finally lining up. I was able to follow them. It was finally happening.

     As I walked out of my room, I ran into Lizzy.

     I picked her up in my arms."What's up munchkin?" I said before I tickled her belly.

     She giggled. "The sky."

     "The sky? did dad teach you that one?" I laughed.

     She nodded.

     "Guess what?" I whispered.

     "What?" she whispered back.

     "I got an audition to that London school I was telling you about." I giggled watching her face brighten up. My little sister loved watching me dance for some reason. It was almost like she was my biggest fan, but in a six year old girl's body.

     "Re- Re yay!!!!" She clapped.

     I laughed at the nickname she gave me. Ever since she was born, she could never say Rebecca right. 

     We traveled down the downstairs hallway and I walked into the living room laughing.

     "What's so funny?" My mom asked.

     "Re-re go--" I covered Lizzy's mouth.

     "I've got news." I brightly smiled.

     I placed down Lizzy and then I took a seat by my dad on the couch. Lizzy went near my mom.

     "So do we. Let us go first, alright?" My dad said taking my hand.

     "Oh god, did someone die?" I asked kinda concerned taking back my hand.

     "No, no." My mom shook her head in a laugh.

     "Oh, good." I smiled.

     "Simon called today and wanted to ask you something." My mom continued. "You weren't here, so he explained to us what he wanted to ask you. We ended up accepting for you."

     I gave them a weird look. "Well, what did you accept for me?" I asked.

     "That," my dad said placing his hand on my shoulder. "he will tell you tomorrow in his office."
