Its just like any other audition right? No, Penny is auditioning for the New York City Ballet, it's been her dream since she was little to be dancing in new york. Her love for Taylor Swift and dance has always brought her back to New York. On the ot...
I woke up and headed to the local cafe. Its close enough for me to walk but far enough for a Taylor Swift song. I put on ICDIWABH because my boyfriend of 4 years cheated on me!! I shouldn't be that happy about it but, it just shows me that he's a greedy little rat. I meet up with my mom and we spend about an hour together just catching up because she has to head back to London soon.
" Oh crap I am so sorry mom I have to head home and get ready for my audition. " I said. She nodded and gave me a hug.
" Call me after it ok, darling. Good luck, I love you" she s,aid as she kissed my check.
I might have ran back to my apartment and tripped on my way to the elevator but that is beside the point. I get ready and put my hair in a bun, do nice light simple make up. And I put on my tight, leotard, my skirt and then I pack my bag.

" Ok so ballet shoes, check, extra ballet shoes, check pointe shoes, check, pointe bag check, and im done! " I said to myself.
I put sweatpants on top of my skirt just so I am more comfortable on the train. I get on and head to NYCB. I am more than excited and more than terrified.
When I get there, there are about 100 other dancers and they all look insane talented. Its my turn in the check in line.
" Name?" The lady asks me.
" Penelope Love, it might be under Penny Love though " I answered and she checks off my name and hands me my number.
I look down and its 13. That's a sign. I look around to see if I know anyone and I see someone who looks familiar I just can't remember where I have seen them before. ,
Its currently 10:30, 15 minutes until it starts and I am warming my self up with my roller and just my normal stretches. I keep thinking about why I feel like I have seen the dude before.
" Ok so my male 1-15 and female 1-15 come on in! Auditions will start in about 5 minutes! " We walk in and we all find a spot at the barré.
The audition just like a normal class. We started with tendus, plies, then we went to dégagés. We finished barré and went to center. It started small with just some sautés. And then across the floor.
We did piqué turns, regular turns, and leaps. The class ended then the females started our pointe class which then that turned into a partnering class at the end. I was partnered with Jacob who was the guy who I think I know.
" Hi I'm Penelope, but you can call me Penny" I tell him because we are just getting into the class and we were told to get to know our partners.
" Wait Penny Love? Did you grow up in London? " He asked. I mean if it wasnt obvious by my accent.
" Why yes I did. But I dont know if your a stalker or a just good at context clues." He laughed and shook his head.
" Uh im Jacob, Jake Cameron. I don't know if that rings any bells but uh we grew up together. " my childhood best friend.
" Dude you thinking that I don't remember my childhood best friend? But ill give you my number after class because I think I know a lot about you. " I tell him.
The class goes smoothly with me only stepping on him once so that's a win. I feel like me and him could really connect again and who knows maybe be something more than just partners.
