The street dancers

The beggining

Imagine this.
A large crowd of people. Lights shining down on the stage. A lot of crews greeting their fans. It took us a long time to get here.
The battles of the crews
This is where the best of the best go. You have to be well know to compete. Which we now were.
I'm Liana. Leader of the The Red Reapers. People think we are a group of misfit kids but no. We weren't just kids causing trouble in the streets of Miami. We were a group of talented teens who tend to get into a lot trouble. But let's pause for a second and tell you how we came to be. It all started when I was a young girl.
I was someone who never stopped moving. Always bouncing up and down to music with my best friend who I didn't Know I was gonna be really close to. Now fast forward to when I was thirteen. Me and my best friend Katrina met the terror twins. Chris and Dan. And the four of us would just always keep dancing together. My parents supported me. My friends supported me. But one month later I get news no kid should ever get.
My parents were in an accident and didn't survive. Their death made me broken. I felt as if the world was coming to an end. I got out of that stage with my best friends. But since I wasn't 18 and I was only just 13 I couldn't stay by myself. I had to move in with my older brother. He always told me not to do anything stupid like street dancing or flashmobs because he didn't want me to end up in a prison cell. He use to dance but had to stop because he had a daughter. She was the cutest little baby you would ever meet and he had my brother whipped.
But I didn't listen to my brother. We recruited more people into our crew.
JJ who we found in the streets. She had run away from her abusive step family. Then came Kyle he was a 14 year old who loved dub step. Then came Alphonse who was a 15 year old French who had no clue how to speak english except a few words. He had come from France in hopes to try to make it big in New York with fashion but got onto the wrong plane and came to Miami instead. And he stayed because he didn't have any money.
Then we had Tina. She made the sickest beats you ever heard. She was just a girl trying to show her musical talents. Which is why I accepted her in the group with open arms.
The there's Flores. Don't let that name trick you. He's a guy who loves art but people never gave him a chance. Which is why I let him in.
Then lastly there was my best friend. Katrina. I kept the crew a secret from her because I was afraid she was gonna tell my brother but she ended up joining. She was like my second in command. And this is how we started out. Dancing in the streets video taping and posting it on poptube trying to get views to get noticed. Then later on we took it a step further. We started having flash mobs and we got more views. And then so on so on.
Then fast forward two years. I'm 16. We go out one night and meet The Golden Scorpians.
We instantly became rivals. We both thrived to be better then the other but somehow both me and Julian,the leader of The Golden Scorpians fell for eachother but of course this being a cliche story we weren't allowed to tell others. We've kept it a secret since then.
I'm now 18.
I have just graduated high school and I'm going to try to win in The Battle Of The Crews. Because if I can't win this I won't be able to pursue my dream in dancing and I'll have to become a Lawyer like my brother. So now that you have some background knowledge of how we came to be let's press play.

The crowds were screaming out for their favorite crew-
"Wait you really just gonna start there?" Said my annoying boyfriend.
"Julian get out it's my story I decide what happens"
"No you have to start from the beginning. When you decided to go on The battles of crews or they'll be confused!" He said trying to takeover my phone.
"Julian! Stop that was months ago it'll take too long to tell the story"
"Liana!"
"Fine rewrite the story Julian" I said crossing my arms.
"Okay now where's the phone?"
"Uh I don't know" I said trying to hide my phone.
"Liana" he said warningly
"Okay fine let's start at the beginning" I said taking out the phone and deleting my story version.
"Yes the beginning where it all started......"
"Stop trying to act all lion king in this movie Julian"
"Let the people read the story Liana" he scolded me.
"Okay fine"I said leaning in to him "it all started one warm morning in Miami.........
____________ ___________________________________
"Wake up Liana it's already one in the afternoon" screamed my brother, Damon from the stairs.
"Shut up I need my sleep!" I screamed back. Who was he to wake me up and especially at one o clock. Wait a second no! I had practice and needed to meet with the crew. I instantly woke up and changed brushed my teeth and put my hair in a pony tail. Take note I did this all under five minutes.
I run to the kitchen where I see my niece and my brother eating.
"Good morning, I mean afternoon brother and little Kylie" I said giving them a kiss on a cheek and sitting down.
"Kylie are you done?" He asked calmly. Uh oh I knew this was gonna bad.
"Yes daddy thanks" she said getting up and putting her dish in the sink.
"Okay go get ready you have a ballet lesson later" he said walking to her and kissing her head. She said okay and went to her room.
He clears his throat. Here it comes. But he doesn't say anything instead he throws a newspaper onto the table.
"Explain this to me Liana" he said still calm.
I looked at them paper and realized it was an article about a flashmob in the mall. And it was on the front page.
"Oh look there's a sale at JC penny. You know I think kylie needs new boots? Don't your think? You know I'll go buy her a pair right now" I said starting to get up but he makes me sit down again.
"You know you just graduated high school! You should go to that law school I told you about. Do something with your life and stop with this dancing nonsense! I don't want my daughter seeing you on the news, in the paper and even magazines and thinking it's alright to do whatever your doing. I made a promise to mom and dad that I'll keep you safe but I can't exactly keep you safe if your always putting yourself in danger!" He said snapping.
"You know mom and dad would have supported me with this. All we have to do is get a few more hits and then we'll be able to compete in The Streets  and the winners will get 500,000 dollars. They will also get a chance to work with Elizabeth Henry which could finally be our break" I said begging him.
"Liana I've been paying for that warehouse you have for a long time becuase it was where you practice but I'm gonna have to sell the place if it's the only way you'll stop with street dancing"
He said holding the bridge of his nose.
"Wait wait please Damon I'll make you a deal just wait on till after the Battle but if we do win I can continue with this but if I lose I'll quit with the dancing and I'll go to that law school you want me to go" I begged "please Damon just keep paying the rent until after the battle. I'll become a lawyer if we can't compete or if we lose"
I looked at my brother and he was in deep thought.
"Okay-" he couldn't even finish his sentence because I hug him.
"Thank you thank you" I mumbled into his shoulder.
"Okay but your have to keeps your part" he said sighing.
I have to tell the crew this because if we lose we'll be losing much more then just the battle.
________________
"What! Liana we can't lose the warehouse it's our home" screamed Katrina. The crew was gathered in the meeting room in the warehouse.
"I know it looks bad but guys we just have to win the battle and we'll be able to finally get our break" I countered back.
"But girl we don't know if we're even good enough for the battle" said JJ. Some of them nodded with agreement with JJ.
"Guy look we are good enough. We are good enough to win this thing. We just need to keep faith in each other. We won't lose the warehouse. I swear" I pleaded.
They all looked nervous.
"Je suis sur votre côté" said Alphonse raising his hand. We all look at him confused then we looked at Chris.
"He said he's on your side" he said "and I am too only if Dan agrees too".
Dan just smiles and says "Yup you got the terror twins on aboard to"
I look at Macy,Kyle,JJ,Tina,Flores, and Katrina with a puppy dog face.
"Ah must not look at face" said Flores covering his face.
"Fine I'm on aboard too" smiled Macy. Then agreed Tina. Now three were left. Kyle and Flores were still covering there face shielding there eyes from my adorable puppy dog face.
I heard Katrina groan.
"Fine fine I'm in too but if we lose I'm blaming you chica" she said crossing her arms.
Now two guys were left.
"Please guys" I said starting to pretend sob.
"Dang it fine whatever  we're in" snapped Kyle.
"I never said I was in" said Flores crossing his arms. I just rose my eyebrows knowing exactly what was gonna convince him.
"I'll buy you more spray paint and a new sketch book"
I saw him fighting internally but I knew he was gonna give in.
"Fine what ever but I better have those things by next week" he said uncrossing his arms.
A huge grin took over my face.
"Alright guys now to plan our next mob" I said smirking. They all started murmuring in agreement.
"Alright guys this is whats gonna happen"

"I remember that you called me excitingly afterwords" said Julian chuckling
"Why did you stop writing?" I said glaring at him.
"Ran out of snacks babe and I need fuel to remember everything. Be right back" he said going into the kitchen.
I just roll my eyes and sit back. It then dawned on me.
"JULIAN YOU BETTER NOT BE TAKING MY ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE SKITTLE STASH!" I said screaming as I ran to the kitchen. While I run in I saw the most horrible thing ever.
Julian was eating one of my packs. My eyes widen and I stalked towards him.
Play the psycho music now.
"Look Lia I'm sorry" he said nervously.
He noticed me saying nothing.
"But there just so good" he said trying to make things better. Notice how I said trying. It wasn't working. When I was close enough I said one thing.
"Say good bye to your secret Twinkie stash" I said running off to his secret stash.
So I'm gonna skip over this part because it gets gruesome. You should never and I repeat never take my skittles.
right now Julian was sitting next to me with a black eyes whilst I ate my skittles.
"Okay ju ju now we have the snacks  continue writing"
I heard him murmur a few colorful words and resumed typing.

"Julian guess what?" I practically screamed into the phone.
"Chicken butt"
"What? Julian stop repeating that when I say what, it's never gonna be chicken butt" I said chuckling.
"Hey one day I'm gonna be right"
It was funny that he sounded so sure of himself.
"Okay anyways we're having a flash mob at the mall tomorrow" I said smiling.
"How come? You haven't had one since That museum. You've been trying to have a low profile because of your brother" I heard him whisper. His friends were close by.
"Yea but I'm trying to get enough views on poptube to be able to compete in battle of the crews"
"Well please be safe don't do anything stupid" he exclaimed quietly
"oh I knew there was something else I needed to tell you I just can't quite figure out what it was" I could tell he was smirking now.
"Well was it something like I love you" I said smirking.
"Yea yea it was something-" I heard someone call him from the other side of the phone.
"Well I gotta go mom love you" I heard him say. I chuckled at his poor excuse.
"Love you too Ju Ju"I said smiling and hang up.
I then heard the ware house doors open.
"Bonjour liane vous y" it was only Alfonse.
"Yea I'm here Alfonse" I responded. I got out of the computer/camera room and went to where he was.
"Alors, comment était votre conversation avec julian" he asked.
"My conversation with Julian was good and thanks for getting the guys to leave" I said hugging him.
"Pas de problème ou no problem" said Alfonse in a deep French accent.
"You've been learning some English have you?" I asked
"Oui" he said and chuckled. We kept talking and every once I'm a while I had to use google translate since I only know some words in French.
We kept talking until the others appeared. By the time we've had our fun I had to go home and sleep since my brother would kill me if I slept here at the warehouse because he think this place is in a bad neighbor hood.
I had a good feeling that we were gonna win the streets. Nothing was gonna get in the way
