Heroes of the Universe Book 1: The 4J Class Dance

Chapter 2

Opening up the CILTC chat group, I knew I had to text Carrie.

Me: Carrie, r u alright? You didn't dance at all just now in dance class.

Carrie 😎😎: Yeah, I'm fine. I was just kinda tired, that's all

Thalia 💫: Are you SURE you're okay? You normally like to try everything, even if it's hard.

Carrie 😎😎: Ok, fine. I didn't wish to dance because of some horrid memories I had.

IRIS DA PRINTER 😌: omg. tell us what happened. we won't tell anyone, promise.

Carrie 😎😎: I used to take ballet classes because my mum took dancing to the professional level. Yup, she used to be a dancer before she had me and my younger sister. She forced me to take ballet.

Carissa 💞💞: Alright. Go on.

Carrie 😎😎: There was this 3rd grade exam. I forgot what we were supposed to do at the end, but it was like a grand jeté or something and I kept messing it up.

Me: ooo, sounds bad.

Carrie 😎😎: Yeah. Then one day the coach practically berated me in front of all the other kids. After class, they started tormenting me.

IRIS DA PRINTER 😌: oh no...

After a long while of hesitation, i knew just what to do.
