A dance journey

Liar Liar Dance Mom on Fire!

Claire POV

I was shaken awake, opening my eyes to my brother Cameron.

"Cam, what are you doing in my room?"I asked rubbing my eyes while sitting up.

"Mom wanted me to come hurry and wake you."He said

I looked at him confused, "Hurry?"I asked

I glanced around my room looking for the time. When I saw it, I saw that we only had 10 more minutes till we had to be at the studio in time.

"Cameron, we are going to be late," I said before jumping out of bed

But Cameron's hands stopped me from making it very far.

"Sorry sis, Mom wants to take you to get looked at for what happened at the competition. Me and Cassandra are the only ones going to the studio today."Cameron explained

"What?"I yelled

Cameron gave me a look before walking out of my room. I quickly threw the covers off of myself and followed Cameron, not bothering to get changed out of my sleep clothes.

"Mom, what is Cameron talking about!"I yelled from the stairs

"Exactly what he said, I need to be sure."She said from the kitchen

As I walked down I saw Cameron and Cassandra both waiting on the couch with their dance bags.

"But mom, I want to dance, I feel fine now," I said

She shot me a look from the kitchen before finishing up with the dishes.

"Look, as soon as we are done I'll bring you into the studio, okay?"She asked me, even though I know it's not a question.

We heard a similar honking outside the house.

"Cameron, Cassandra, Melissa's here. Hurry out."My mother said to them while giving them quick kisses on their foreheads.

I watched them hurry out of the front door. I gave my mother a look.

"We don't have to leave for about thirty minutes. So go head to your room and get ready."My mother told me before walking back towards the kitchen.

I slowly walked back up to my room.

FIVE DAYS TO COMPETITION

CAMERON'S POV

We entered the studio with Maddie, Melissa, and Mackenzie.

"Come on ladies, let's go. Cameron, you too."Abby yelled

We all rushed into the studio along with our moms.

"Cameron, Cassandra, where is your mother and Claire?"Abby asked

"Our mother is taking her to the doctor," I said

"Oh, yeah, I remember she told me something about that," Abby said

I saw Christi roll her eyes.

"But Abby, if that was us, you would have flipped," Christi said

"Not today Christi," Abby warned

Christi shut her mouth. Thank god.

"All right, we went to Youngstown Ohio to Intensity Dance. We won."Abby said

We all nodded

"We should've won. You're national champions. Let's move on to the pyramid. I have Chloe. Chloe, remembering your choreography, that is what you need to work on. Write it down. Maybe, if you write it out, it'll sink in. Try that—next, Nia. Nia, you don't apply the corrections. That's what you need to do. Try writing them down. Next. Mackenzie. Mackenzie, when I took you out of the group, I gave you this cute little part to do. And thank goodness it was humorous. Had they started timing our number, we would have been disqualified, and the Abby Lee Dance Company would not have been disqualified. You will not be in the group numbers going forward, not until it's appropriate for you. Understood? Next Cameron. Cameron, you didn't dance. You should be at the very bottom. But I've seen you working in class. Next Paige. You got the featured part. You had the big jump, the tilt, whap. You could have made that fabulous, but you didn't do that. And to think I replaced Claire with you. Big mistake. You were given an opportunity, and instead of running with it, it was mediocre—next, Maddie. You were good. I noticed you have the Sophia hairdo. How about we have the Sophia energy, the Sophia turns, and not worry about the hairdo? Next. Kendall. You were in the front. You were given a correction 100 times. Did you keep up with Sophia? I don't know. Next, I have Claire. She's not here. But she danced in one number. And she won first, perfect score."Abby said
