LIFE: draft

Chapter 6: "Chloe."

Jill's P.O.V:

I nervously throw my ballet shoes into my bag and take one more look at myself, making sure my all of my hair is tucked neatly into a bun and tightly enough so that it won't come loose.
*I'm 5 minutes away.* Joey texts me, it's so nice of him to do this for me I smile to myself, deciding not to,text him back because he's driving and I wouldn't want him to meet an accident. I make my way downstairs into the kitchen to get a glass of water before I leave.
"Where are you going?" I hear Kathy say from behind me, after gulping the rest of my water down, I turn around, seeing that she's still in her uniform, only her blazer is off and her shirt is not tucked into her skirt anymore.

"I'm going to enrol at the dance academy." I tell her, finding it funny how we always seem to go to the kitchen at the same times.

"Oh that's nice." She pouts.

"What's wrong?"I ask her.

"Lilly and Holly go to dance academy but papa won't let me enrol." She hangs her little head.

"Really?"I ask her furrowing my eyebrows and she nods. I bend down to her level. "I have to go now but I'll tell you what how about I speak to father about letting you enrol?"

"You think he would let me?" Kathy says excitedly.

"I don't see why not." I tell her standing up."I'll try to convince him okay poppet?" I smile and she nods skipping out of the kitchen with a packet of pretzels in her hand. Chloe and I loved pretzels, we used to fight over them a lot of the time. I'm so nervous, I've never auditioned for anything before because I've never done any solo performances, I've just filled in if somebody in the crew had fallen sick or had gotten injured. I hope I get into this school, mother and Chloe would be the first people to know, I can't wait to ring them up and tell them if I do. I think to myself as I walk out of the foyer and out the door. Moments later Joeys car pulls up.

**********

"This is it." Joey says pulling into the parking lot of the beautiful white and glass building.

"I'm so nervous." I breath as I get out of his car.

"Don't be I'm sure you'll do great love." He assures me as we walk to the entrance. Joey led me to the front desk, our footsteps against the pearl white marble floor echoes with each step we take, making the nervousness in me stomach grow largely.

"Joseph." The women sitting at the front desk greets him, handing him a clipboard which he begins to scribble on. Her eyes then gazing at me from behind her spectacles. I smile nervously. "Pretty lass you got there, is she your girlfriend?"

"No. Mrs.James." Joey's cheeks turn rose red. "This is just my mate, Jill Desai. She has an appointment with my mom." He clarifies handing her back the clipboard.

"Oh, go on up then she is probably expecting you." Mrs.James smiles at Joey, he smiles back shaking his head and guiding me towards the polished staircase. After climbing three flights of white marble, we finally make it to Joey's mothers office. He opens the door without knocking.

"Joseph." The elegant lady looks away from her paperwork and up to her handsome son.

"I brought you lunch mom." Joey smiles goofily setting down the takeaway bag we stopped to pick up before getting here, on his mothers desk.

"How sweet of you sunshine," she smiles looking into the bag. "Weren't you supposed to bring your mate here for an audition?" She asks looking up at Joey.

"Yes." He answers her turning around to look for me. He rolls his sea blue eyes when he realises I'm still standing at the door. Joey walks over to me placing his hand on my back pushing me forward. "Come on love she isn't going to bite, I promise." He smiles as we walk towards he's mother.
