Richelle
To think that actually preparing for DanceMania couldn't get any better. Each time I instruct the guys to go through another move, I can hear the "ow" mumble out of Ozzy's mouth.
His nose is clearly broken, and like half the team were worried that it would fuck with our audition. But, even Ozzy isn't as fucking stupid as to risk his chance of going professional just because of his bruised pride. (And face!)
Fredrico Pederson, one of the judges, gave us the list of routines we needed to prepare after informing us that we made it in. Since we went as a group, most of them are just group dances, but there is also a solo and duet.
We haven't decided on those yet though, so we're just working on the first group dance. Hoping they all know that I should be the one to do the solo though when the time comes!
This might be one of the only good things Michelle brought to this place. Not that I'll ever thank her for telling Maria about us.
"You doing anything for the night?" Piper asks me after rehearsal while we're grabbing our stuff.
"Nah, most likely just going to work on more choreography..." I answer while I throw my top into the bag.
It feels a bit odd, talking to someone when the only thing covering my chest is a bra. Even with Jacquie, I don't say much to her while we're changing.
There are people like Kenzie, who actively walk naked around the girls' room. But, I can never imagine being like that. It's always been a thing with me. Showing myself off like that feels...I'd don't know, intimate? And I'd rather not do it so freely with a bunch of girls I'm certain I'll never feel something like that about.
I'm not that close with Piper. Sure, both of started here at almost the same time, and I would call her a friend, but we don't hang-it one-on-one that often. A shiver runs up my spine as I can feel her eyes on all of my body.
It's just me probably. I'm the weird one. She's seen all the others in a similar state daily, so why should she stop our conversation just because I'm changing?
That doesn't stop me from quickly putting on the rest of my clothes though.
"Hm, you and your workaholic mind." She breaths out through her nose.
"Forgive me for wanting us to succeed." I try to play is off as a joke and laugh a little, but my voice shakes more than anything.
"Yeah, well..." Resting her hands on her thighs, she gets up, then pulls her phone out of the right pocket of her shorts. "Amy, Summer, and I are going out for drinks tonight. I could send you on the address if you want?"
"Oh um...I..." Trying to process what she just invited me to.
Is this really such a good idea? We don't have any practice scheduled tomorrow, so that's not in my way. But, I did mean it when I said I might work on more of our routines. Plus, like I also said, I barely talk to Amy and Summer!
Apparently I just stare for too long, as Piper just shrugs and starts walking off. Before she can completely leave though, I suck it up and call out:
"Sure, why not?!"
