"Bro that was so fun gheeee! We killed that performance!" One of the dancers nearly screemed as we walked down the hall way to our changing/ waiting room.

"Best dancers in this mug on bro!" Roya also spoke excitedly.

"We should go out and celebrate once this is over with!" One of the guys Samuele said as he stopped in front of our dressing room door and turned to look at all of us.

As everyone shouted in agreement they turned to me as if to ask for my permission on the matter. Yeah, Ms. James is in charge but even she will run things by me since I'm captain and all. I smiled and nodded in agreement.

With that we all entered the dressing room and went to change into our finale outfits for the night, the outfits that we would be wearing to accept any awards that we may have won. Me and the girls went into a spret part of the room to start changing. As the girls grabbed their outfits to change into I checked my phone for the billionth time since we left Chicago to come up here to New York to see if Derrick had texted me yet. Still nothing.

"Babes? You gotta get dressed luv." Roya came up behind me as she handed be the dress I was suppose to wear.

"Yeah, I'm going. Thank you." I grabbed the dress from her hand as I left to change into it.

The dress was a Royal blue silk that was strapless. The dress was basically a gown with a slit on the left leg which made my whole left leg show. Starting on the right side of the dress was a pearl design that shapped out a flower. I wore matching dark blue sparkly stilettos that had strings which wrapped up my legs to my knees and tied in a bow.

I walked out of the room I went to change in a picked up my phone one last time seeing that I still had no text from Derrick. Now you're probably wondering why I'm not texting first. Well, the reason to that is.. I texted him when I was about to leave the house, again once I got to school, and a third time once the busses pulled off. All three times I was left on delivered. Its now a new day and I didn't revice not a single text from him. Its now evening but still nothing.

I sighed as a I decided to turn my phone completely off.

"Winter, what's wrong luv?" Roya asked as she noticed that something was wrong with me.

"Derrick hasn't texted me at all. Like he wont even respond to any of my messages"

"Maybe he's just been busy and hasn't gotten the chance or his phone probably died."

"Roya I texted him yesturday before I left the house, when I got to school, and when the buses left. Still nothing."

"Give it time Winter. I'm sure he's ok and will text you as soon as he can."

"Yeah, you're right. Come on, we don't want to miss the awards."

With that, we all left the room and walked to the part of the venue where the awards were being held at. Same place we performed not too long ago.

...

"The winner for top dance team in the country is ... Chicago's Lady Alphas!" The announcer said into the microphone as me and the others stood up and walked to the stage to accept our third reward for the night.

This was the last catagory for the evening so of course we saved our best speech for last. The other two categories that we won were for the mini dance competition that we did. We won first place out of the whole competition and we also won a dance team of the year award. Once we got on stage I walked over to the announcer first as I give him a hug to say "Thank you" and took the tophy as he handed it to me. While I was doing that, Roya walked up to the mic and started giving the speech for it.

"So for starts we want to give a huge thanks to everyone that voted for us in all three categories that we won tonight. But most importantly we wanted to give a huge shout out and thank you not only to our beloved fans and supports but also to our team. If it wasn't for our dance instructor Ms. James, our coustume designs from our fellow students back at school and of course our lovely dance caption Winter then we probably would not be standing on this stage right now." As Roya finished her part of the speech everyone started clapping but all that soon died down as another dancer, Mike stepped up to do the other half of the speech.

"Tonight was big for all of us of course and like Roya said there is so many people that play a huge part in us veing here tonight. We love and thank everyone that has stood by us and have encouraged us to keep pushing through."

Once Mike finished up his part of the speech we left the stage as everyone cheered and clapped. The announcer said some finale words which I did pay attention to cause I zoned out thinking about Derrick again. However, I was brought back to reality when King tapped me so that we could leave. We went back to the changing room and grabbed our things and headed out to the limo that brought us over here from the hotel. We didnxt change clothes because well we were going out for dinner and celabration but also because we didn't exactly bring anyrhing but formal clothes.

Once we were in the limo Ms. James told the driver to take us to some restaurant, I couldn't really hear the name nor did I exactly understand it. I think it was an Italian restaurant though.

"Hey, you ok? Did he text you back yet?" Roya whispered to me.

"I don't know, I turned my phone off."

"Why don't you check it to find out. I mean if he ain't text, I'm sure one of your siblings did trying to check on you."

"Yeah you right. I'll let you know if I got anything from him."

"Ok."

With that I took my phone out of my purse and turned it back on. Once my phone came to life I unlocked it and went to my messages. Once it loaded I saw that I had 2 messages from Derrick and 1 from Jason. I opened the messages with Derrick first to see that he literally just sent the messages.

[In messages]

Derrick: Hey baby. Sorry I missed you're text I got busy with a lot of things for the team and wasn't really paying attention to my phone.

Derrick: Babe you there? Are you mad at me for responding late?

Mad? Derrick I'm beyond mad.
I texted you three times before I left town. And now it's been an entire day and you are just now texting me. You didnxt even come to say goodbye. I was worried and upset.

Derrick: I'm sorry baby. I promise to make it up to you as soon as you come back home.

I don't know Derrick.

Derrick: Please Winter. I love you.

I need to think about it.

Derrick: Before you go, how was the award show? Did you guys win?

Yeah. We won in three categories.
We are actually about to go and celebrate.

Derrick: Oh, well congratulations and have fun. I'll call you later?

No. I need some time Derrick. I may call you tomorrow. I don't know.

Derrick: Ok, I understand. Good night and I love you.

I closed out my messages with Derrick. Just in time too because we arrived at the restaurant. We all got out of the limo and entered the restaurant getting a VIP room right away and starting our celebration.
