CLAIRE POV
Abby walked into the studio upset.
"I just want to look at what fourth place looks like," Abby said
Silence filled the room.
"This weekend we will be traveling to Voorhees, New Jersey. We will be attending On Stage America. I don't want to be fourth again."Abby said
She began for the pyramid.
"On the bottom, Mackenzie. You will not be performing in the group this weekend. Next Maddie. At Nationals you were amazing, just as good as Chloe. But Chloe won. And ever since then. Claire, you've been slowly getting worse each week. What gives? Paige, once again, it's the same pattern, Kelly. It's like she doesn't have to work anymore. Like I went, I won. Third was good enough for me. Nia, you're doing fine. But is fine going to make you a star? Cassandra, you are better than this placement, I need to see that. Kendall, you didn't negatively pull my eyes. You positively pulled the. When I don't say your name and I stop yelling at you, I get worried. Chloe. I thought you looked great. I was good. Was that exactly what you're supposed to do? No. Get out there and do the routine that you were taught, the way I envision it. And on top of the pyramid is Cameron. Cameron got first place in the teen division. First solo of the season. Brooke, I don't have you on the team."Abby said
"What is the purpose of her coming every week if you're not going to put her on the pyramid?"Kelly asked
"Brooke, do you want to be here?"Abby asked Brooke
Brooke slowly nodded her head yes
"See, that to me is not a response I'm looking for," Abby said laughing
Kelly rolled her eyes.
"This weekend we are doing a group routine called "Pink Lemonade." Brooke, I plan for you to be in the group routine. Kendall, you have a solo. Your solo is entitled "Owe You Nothing." Remember that. I owe you nothing. You are very lucky. Embrace this opportunity and make the most of it. Nia, you also have a solo. Your solo is entitled "100 Years From Now." Is it going to take you 100 more years to straighten those legs and point those feet or are you going to do it now? Claire, you doing a solo. You are doing a ballet variation. Swanhilda Coppelia. And I have one more solo. Chloe, do you think you can do the dance that I teach you? Have you talked to your mom about stopping the advocacy for all the other mothers? Chloe, this is a contemporary routine, as well. There are lots of hits and accents, it's stronger than what you've done before. And it's called "Left in the Dark." Maddie and Cameron, you have a duet this week. It's called, "Thunder and Lightening." The group routine is entitled "Pink Lemonade." You're using hats, and the hats are a prop. Drop your hat and you're off the team."Abby said
We started laughing at that.
"Let's be a little harsh," Kelly said
But then without warning, Abby went and grabbed a spare pyramid square and put it on the mirror slightly away from the main pyramid. And then she ripped off the top layer. Revealing a picture of a blonde girl
