[Michelle and Barbara. Barbara and Michelle. For a long time, there had only been the two of them, since they were 8 and 9. The invincible team. They were always there for one another.
But then a girl with a snarky attitude starts to dance. She was the ideal companion for the two. She seemed to belong among them. The pair merges into a trio. Even though it had only been a few days, the three of them quickly grew close because Claudia never really had friends.
They were all in a dance studio for that reason. Dreamily watching Claudia dance with her life and soul and as light as a feather were Michelle and Barbara.
Swift and appealingly graceful, she moved. She performed her dance as though the Gods were watching. They could have stayed and watched her all day, but as the music stopped, they were denied their wish.
"What do you think, then?" With apparent sweat on her, she asked them. Their faces showed smiles as their jaws dropped. "I'm guessing you liked it?" she chuckled as she re-asked.
"How did you manage?" with a startled gaze, Michelle questioned. "The spin you just performed!" one can easily hear her French accent.
"That twirl? Yeah my teacher made me learn that when I was 10. She said and I quote, 'If you do that, every other contestant will surely be nervous.' I'm trying out for Swan Queen this year and focusing on ballet this year," she told them with determination clear in her voice as she took a towel and dried herself.
Barbara said, "You should. We'll always come to see you perform. Well anyways. Should we go to the Grill after?"
"Uh I'm not really hungry," Claudia said as she rubbed her neck. "Oh I heard the police are asking a bunch of people questions about Vicky Donovan's disappearance," she added and tried to change the subject quickly.
"Yeah I heard. I don't even know who she is but I don't think she's coming back," Michelle told them. Ce sera amusant! Let's go to the grill, I've never been there besides," she informed as she checked herself on the mirror. (It'll be fun)
Claudia paused, "Wait, you never been to the Grill? Like never?"
Michelle nodded, "Jamais. We've just arrived in town, you know." (Never)
"Right," Claudia answered as she looked down at her figure and forced a smile, she said, "Mystic Grill is it."
_________•𖧷•_________
When they arrived at the Grill, it was packed with people hanging around.
"What the hell is going on here?" Barbara asked them.
"I don't know but I don't like it!" Claudia retorted, "We should just go home, yeah? Yeah. I would like a shower."
