Oh gosh, oh gosh. What if I mess up, everyone will laugh at me. I'll be humiliated. Oh gosh. I'm literally going to pass out right here and now.
"Hey Steph, calm down babe. It's okay." Jake said pitting his hands on my sholders resuring me.
I was currently at one of my dance competitions, that I have once a month. I don't even know why I am so scared. I do this every month. Why should this month be any different, I say talking to my self.
"Exactly, why should this month be any different? You can do it. I have faith in you. If I didn't think you could do it, would I have come?" Jake asks me. I guess I was talking to myself out loud.
"I mean no bu-" I say but get interupted.
"See exactly. Have faith in yourself girl. Geez! But I'm gonna go get my seat, okay love you." Jake giving me a hug.
"Okay, bye love you too. See you after!" I say releasing from the hug and kissing his cheeck. When he was about to leave, I saw that I left a bright red lip mark on his cheek.
As I was practicing slash going over my dance. Some of my 'dance friends', as I like to call them, came to me wish me luck.
"Okay Steph, you got this girl. Go out there and kill it, like we know you can. Show Ms. Lauren what you can do. Okay?" Says Payton, while the rest of my friends nodding in agreement of what she said.
"Okay. Love you guys!" I say giving them a group hug.
"And we love you too." They all say simultaneously. "Hand shake!!" Yells Conner. We did our hand shake and laughed a little.
"Ladies and Gentlemen please welcome Stephene peforming 'Tears Of An Angel'" says the announcer. I take a deep breath before walking on stage.
I walk on stage,get into my starting position, and wait for the music to start.
. . . . . .
As I walk off stage, I am so relieved. I can't believe I did it. I haven't had a solo in so long, and it felt good. I heard Jake yelling really loud, which made me chuckle. I told him before we even got here not to yell, but hey the boy never listens.
As I walk back to my dressing room, where they rest of my team is, Jake stops me.
"Wait what? How did you even-- I am so confused right now." I say amazed at how quick he got back here.
"Haha shut up, but you did AWESOME out there. Like my chin was on the freaking floor." He says shaking my shoulders.
"Haha thanks. I was soo scared, I almost froze out there. But I need to go change for my group routine. See you!" I say taking the water he had in his hand. And I'm still a little out of breath, and I couldn't find my water backstage.
"Yeah sure, have it not like I wanted it anyway," He said shrugging his shoulders laughing. "but go change see you in a bit." He says, as I turn around.
He slapped my butt, and I turned around so fast, you could hear the wind. I looked at him wide eyed, but then laughed because the lip mark is still on his cheeck.
"What?"
"You have a little something on your cheeck." I say
He pulls out his phone and turned the camera torward him. His mouth is wide open. I laugh at his face.
"When did you do that?"
"And how are you so sure that I did it?" I say putting my hand on my hip.
"Your the only girl I've actually talked to today besides my mom and Ava."
"I find that hard to believe......" I say rolling my eyes. "But bye I gotta go now." I say walking off.
