Violetta: Geek to Chic

Step 8: Talk of Talent

I never knew what my special talent was. I knew I had one, everyone does. I just need a little help in finding out what it is.

Gregorio: 5 6 7 8

I try to dance to the music but it kind of looms like I'm having a spasm attack. I spin around the room, bumping into Gregorio, falling to the floor and taking him down with.

At the last few beats of the song, I quickly scramble to my feet and strike a pose. I take in my surroundings as I finally realize that everyone is staring at me, and can't help but blush at the faint sounds of Leon's chuckles.

Gregorio: what do you think you were doing

Me: d-d-dancing?

Gregorio: dancing? dancing? DANCING! That was nowhere near dancing! That was an embarrassment to the art of dance! You should be ashamed of yourself

Ludmila: Told you she was useless. Everything she does is embarrassing

I bite my lip and look to the floor.

Gregorio: What are you still doing here? Get out of my classroom and take the disgrace you call dancing with you

So I run out the room in tears. I didn't want to take Gregorio's class but when you have no talent you don't have a lot of choices.

I find myself in Angie's room but she has already gone for lunch.

I notice a piece of paper with words that you are meant to sing and instantly remember it as a song my mother used to sing when I was younger.

And I'm gonna sing, in my own world as loud as i can. Im not gonna stop, i'll keep on trying I know that I can. I'm gonna sing my song.

I drop the sheet to the floor as I hear someone slowly clapping. I turn and face the door. Leon.

Leon: You have an amazing voice.

Violetta: Er th-thanks? I know you are just being nice.

Leon: Really, you do. You should transfer to Angie's class.

Violetta: What? You don't like my awesome dance moves?

We both chuckle.

Leon: Obviously I do. You are just waaaay too advanced for us.

I giggle and tuck a stray stand of hair behind my ear.

Leon: Well I gotta go. I'd love to do a duet with you sometime.

Violetta: I'd like that too.

He smiled at me with that cute dimpled smile and left.

Eep.

Lesson learnt: We all have a special talent that we don't know of, we just have to try to find it...No matter how hard it is.😉
