Pirouette

Chapter Six // Introductory

- Ella's POV -

I knocked on the door with my knuckles while trying to hold my bags.

Suddenly the door opened and there stood an emotionless girl. She stared at me for a minute then turned away and walked back to her bed.

"Uh.. Hi I'm Ella. I'm guessing you're Kim?" I said before stepping into the room and throwing my bags on to the floor. She looked down at them then up at me, still completely emotionless.

"Okay.." I mumbled. My bed was in the corner of the room, the room was a good enough size for two people.

I pulled my bags over to my side of the room then began to unpack.

"So how long have you been-" I said before being rudely interrupted by the door slamming, she left.

What's her problem? Maybe she's just really nervous about her first day.

I stuck my class schedule on the wall just above my cupboard, I squinted my eyes and read today's..

"12:00pm - introductory class"

I glanced down at my watch.. SHIT! It's 11:50!

I began to panic and run around the room looking for my blue leotard and toto. I threw them on quickly and re did my hair into a tidy bun then slipped on my ballet slippers.

I rushed down the stairs and out of the boarding house. Which room is my class in again?!

When I made it to the front door of the academy I spotted Hayden, the guy who helped me with my bags earlier.

"Hayden!" I shouted, he approached me.

"Is there something wrong?" He asked.

"I'm not sure where my class is, I'm going for the introductory" I said while trying to catch my breath.

"At 12:00? Yeah I'm in that one too" He said with a smile, I took a sigh of relief and followed him into the academy.

There were so many people running around with worried expressions on their faces, the place was buzzing at the same time too.

We made it to the dance studio, Hayden walked over to the side and was greeted by a few other boys. I stood in shock at how beautiful the studio looked.

"Boo!" Someone shouted from behind. I jumped and awoke from my little fantasy.

It was Bethany from audition day!

"Oh hi I remember you!" I said with a smile, she laughed and patted me on the shoulder.

"I've been reading up about you" She said before pulling a file block out of her training bag, my eyes widened.

"And why were you doing that?" I asked.

"My dad has a list of everybody in the class.. So I decided to do my research" Bethany said with a cheeky grin. She showed me the list and glanced up at everybody in the room.

"Hayden Matthews.." She whispered.

"Top notch dancer who is too friendly. He plays football in his spare time and has A LOT of friends.." She said while staring at him.

"This is getting creepy" I laughed, she rolled her eyes and looked down the list once again.

"Move out of my way!" A posh voice shouted from behind us, she pushed us and walked to the front of the dance studio. Wow.

"And who is that?" I said in an unpleasant tone. Bethany looked down her list.

"Alison Crawford.. Very popular when in high school, adored by all the boys. She takes A LOT of dance training and her parents are rich as hell.." Bethany whispered as we stared at her warming up.

"She's very pretty" I said while still watching her. Bethany nodded slightly.

"No wonder all the boys drool over her"
