Riley POV
(time skip to after school)
I drove home with Jay, he, being the perfect person he is, picked me up in his car from his 40-minute away university. I was restless that day, waiting and wondering when my life would start getting interesting again. My wish, was heard.

(time skip to next day at ballet)
I warmed up by stretching into the splits, as I leaned from side to side and listened to my ballet teacher. "Next month, there will be a very famous ballet teacher will come to watch your 'butterfly horses' performance. She will be the one to pick who gets what role, and whoever gets the lead role gets to go to Hollywood! This will be your opportunity of a lifetime, and so whatever you do, remember this will impact your entire life. Goodbye girls, and remember, work harder than you ever have before!". I sat there, in the splits, shell-shocked at her announcement. She was absolutely right. This would be the biggest opportunity of a lifetime, EVER! As I finally got up and left, I met my friend Monica in the doorway. Monica and I chatted about normal things as we walked to school until the conversation came to the Hollywood official coming for their rehearsal. "I can't believe that we could actually perform in Hollywood" Monica squealed loudly. "I know right? I'm gonna train sooooo hard" I responded turning to my short friend. I was much taller than the black-haired petite girl, a whole 6 feet, while she stood at only 4'7. Everbody when I was young always told me not to do ballet, saying I would be heartbroken because I was so tall, but I am a very determined girl, so eventually they all gave up, and now I am one of the best ballerinas in our class! Monica is also one of the top in the class but I didn't even think about that fact. If either of us got it, we would both be happy for each other. We wouldn't be resentful, right? Plus, I was extremely confident it would be me, and it probably would be! If only I knew what was ahead of me...
