'But mom I hate Ballet I prefer Hip-hop or break dancing' I whine as my mom drags me to get new point shoes.

'Beatrice ballet is the best dance for a girl your age have you ever met anyone who spins on their head at your age?' she asks me stopping at a red light. I don't answer just glare at the road.

'Thought so'


My name is Beatrice Pedrad but I prefer Tris and I am 14 years old my birthday is in a week and I will be 15. I was caught dancing in the street last week and a groub asked me to join there dance group when I turn 15. My mother is so controlling and well my father dies when I was 6 I have a twin brother Uriah and an older brother Zeke.

I am thinking of leaving to go to this crew next week. I have met a boy there when I meet up with them his dance name is four but his real name is Tobias. I am one of the many people who call him that because we are kinda... Dating.

The dance crew is called Imma.Dance.


When we pull up to the shop my brother Zeke rings my mom.

'Okay. Uh huh. okay we will be right there.' My mom says through the phone

'What's wrong?' I ask

'I'm sorry sweetie I will have to get your shoes next week. Your brother fell down the stairs. Again.' She says as we are pulling down the five minute way to our street.

'That's okay' I say to her and text Tobias.


Tris- Hey I will be there next week at 3am.

Four- Okay we can't wait we already have a room set up for you.

Tris- Aw thank you.

Four- :D


I laugh to myself and we pull up to my drive. We get out and my mother goes and attends to Zeke and Uriah while I go to my room and Shower.

1 WEEK LATER


'Good night mom!' I say to her while I leave her room. I stop by the boys rooms to make sure they are asleep. They are.

I go to my room get my bags through on some sweats and a jumper and silently walk down my stairs. I open the front door and see Amar standing there waiting for me.

'Here I'll take those' He says taking my bags

'thanks' I say back. I turn and lock the door and we head away to the car. When I hop in Tobias is sitting in the back waiting for me.

' Hey Tris' he says giving me a kiss.

'Hi' I say when we pull back.

He smiles at me and I smile back leaning my head on his shoulder.


We pull up to the a big building with huge front doors. We grab my bags and we all walk in. They lead me to a lift and we turn to face the doors.

'Okay this is the main hall' Amar says gesturing to the entrance that has a staircase and wooden floors with really dark red walls.

We walk into the lift and he presses number 2. When the doors open I see dark grey cemented walls with leather black couches and a huge TV in the middle and a joined kitchen with a door leading to a bathroom.

We go back to the lift and they show me the bedrooms and the rest of the bathrooms. I share a floor with Tobias, Grace and Tom they are all 15-16 years old.

When they lead me to the last three floors they tell me they are the dance floors. On the first one there is a huge room with a corner dedicated to sponged floors and walls with a huge amount of fabric cubes to break your fall. TO the other corner is a whole weight lifting area that has three bench press and treadmills and those bike things with loads of normal weight lifting tools. When I look through a door I see bathrooms and an ice-bath room.

On the next floor is a whole room with dance studios in different wings and a pool at the end of the hall.

Finally on the last floor is an entire room dedicated to stereos with an Ipod dock in the corner with a bunch of small speakers around the room.

On every floor there are at least three bathrooms and ice-baths.


'Well that is the entire place what do you think' Tobias ask me

'It's amazing' I say turning around to face him and Amar.

'Glad you like it. I would get some sleep you two' Amar tells us. We both nod and head back to our rooms.

'Goodnight Tobias' I say giving him a kiss and walking into my room.

I faintly hear him say it back and then his door close. I route through my bags for some pajamas and find a pair of black cotton shorts with a red one shoulder jumper. I through them on and hop into bed. I fall asleep the second my head hits the pillow.
