Dear Diary,

     Today, the drama has officially started. Stacey almost got Lilly pulled out of the trio! Apparently, Lilly has been much more ballet-based in her training and she wanted Lilly to showcase more of her other talents. She was crying, it was awful.

     Her mother is a little entitled, but it's understandable. They have been here the longest. Eventually, Lilly was called back into the trio, but it was definitely a wake-up call for me: take what you get. She was crying when we were done and out of the cameras. I feel bad for her, but I mean if she doesn't want to do acro, why did she come here? You sign up to do everything at the ALDC.

     Other than that, there wasn't a lot of drama. The group dance is going okay. I keep smashing into Brady when we all crowd around him, though. During lunch, I learned that GiaNina has a lot of credits. She's been on Broadway, worked with Mariah Carey, been on Lip-Sync Battle Shorties, and on The Greatest Showman.

     Lilly seemed down for the rest of the day today, scared of her mother. But I don't want her to go home. She's really talented and a lot more versatile than showcased on the show. I invited her over to watch a movie after and she felt a lot better. It was Descendants, one of her favorites. The only issue after was that she didn't want to go home.

     Mom said she understood Lilly. Apparently, Stacey has been making a lot of rude comments about me and Michelle. It's probably just drama for the show, but I heard from Lilly that Stacey is just like that at home sometimes.

     While we were rehearsing the group dance, we all had a little talk. We do have a lot of pressure on us. We're the kids competing for Abby for the first time in two years. She had us tell each other a heartbreaking moment.

     I was going to talk about how my biological dad died of a sudden stroke before I was born, but I didn't really witness that, so I talked about the car accident I was in when I was, like, four. Mom thinks I don't remember it, but I remember all of it. Every single second. It's what caused me to go into a really bad depression when I was eight. I never told anybody that I was going through depression because I was afraid nobody would believe me. Luckily, dance solved it.

     Abby showed us her cancer scar. It went down her entire back! I can't believe how much pain Abby went through with her cancer. That scar really put it in perspective for me. I'm never gonna forget it.

     After Lilly went home, Mom and I watched my favorite movie: Mr. Peabody and Sherman and now I'm here. I'll see you tomorrow!

Love,
