Prima Ballerina(#Wattys2015)

The Prince

I resist opening the packet till I am back in my apartment but I can't hold it off any longer. If I was gonna be a Swan Princess that meant I had to have a Prince. Who is gonna be my Prince?

 Cameron Johnson! 

The Cameron Johnson.

 I might melt.

 Cameron was the best and hottest thing since One Direction at least according to all the girls in the Company he was. I was gonna be dancing with him! Dreams really do come true. I looked through the rest of the packet. In it was a picture of my costume for Odette/Odile it was amazing. Something however did not make sense though there was no way this was planned this morning they had my measurement in this packet and everything this had been planned way before this. They even had a copy of the program which I toke the liberty of looking for Marie's name in. Ohhhh snap she was gonna explode she was a Swan and not even a Swan Maiden she was doing the Corp de Ballets work she was gonna freak. I also found out why Lara cared so much that I be away for a week for in the packet was a handwritten note saying.

"Dear. Miss Pennyworth 

It has been brought to my attention that our Prima Ballerina Marie has become dare I say it an  absolute snobish b*tch. I did not want to put her as the Prima in the first place because frankly you Pennyworth are the better dancer however her family (unfortunately ) used to hold a lot of power over the company. I am risking a lot to kick Marie out of her position but I want it known that I may act like I don't like you but in truth you are my favorite dancer  in the company and that is why if I can (somehow) convince Marie to take an offer of a transfer to the New York City Ballet I will have an opening for a new Prima. I am not saying you are gonna get picked but I will put out my best word for you.

Sincerely Miss. Lara"

So now I know that Miss Lara wants me as Prima. I am going to have to call my mother  as soon as she wakes up which should be shortly after dinner which reminds me I'm hungry.

As I am putting dinner in the oven there's a knock on the door. "Come on in!" I shout thinking it would be my neighbor returning some lost mail or something."Is this Pennyworth Compton?" said a male voice. "Yeah" I say walking around the bend that separated my kitchen from my living room. "Well hello Odette I look  forward to dancing with you" says Cameron with a smirk on his face he is currently standing IN MY LIVING ROOM!!! " Um hi what are you... I mean I don't want to be rude or anything but... um...,what are you doing here" I stammer out as I feel myself begin to blush. "Miss Lara sent me she says I need to get to know you before we dance together. You are playing the part of Odette/Odile right?" He asks looking embarrassed " Yeah I am sorry you... you just surprised me that's all" I say "Would you like to join me for dinner?"I ask hearing my timer go of in the kitchen. "If it's not an inconvenience to you I would love to join you" he says smiling "Okay but in my place the rule is if you are the guest you set the table" I say handing him two sets of plates forks and place mats. 

As I pull my casserole out of the oven and set it on the table Cameron asks "Do you say grace before you eat" I Really don't want to tell him I am an atheist but if we are gonna be dancing together he might as well know. "No I don't say grace. Do you? because if you do that's totally fine I will just be quiet" I say looking him in the eye. I had learned early on that the best way to make overly religious people not try to force their religion on me was to be defiant to show them I was comfortable being who I was sometimes it worked sometimes it didn't but hey you gotta try. "No I don't say grace I am actually atheist but I was checking with you. What did you make it smells amazing?"he says smiling with a very warm open smile. Huh so he was atheist to interesting "New England Clam Bake it's my mothers recipe" I say sitting down at my spot "Go ahead dig in".
