"Relax Breath in, Breath out " said Chloe, that was practically the only thing she's been saying for the last few minutes

Right now I was freaking out, we had the talent portion next and I couldn't even think about it or else I would go into a set of deep and hard to get breaths

"What if I mess up" I said as I stood in front of the mirror

"Don't worry your amazing and you know it, you'll do great" said Chloe comforting me

"But you know I'm not good at turning and there's a small sequence of just that in the beginning of the dance" I said

"Do it" she said

"Huh" I said confused

"Do them now, the spins"

I listened to her and went into my spins but was only able to do a few before falling out of it

"See it's hopeless" I said

"Your not spotting you need to spot and hold yourself high on relève, and your ankle needs to be more secure" said Chloe and I nodded taking in her corrections

"I would say do it again but we don't have time, we got to go" she said and I just walked with her to the stage not saying a word trying to prepare myself mentally

Once backstage, I quickly stretched going into my splits and then doing a bridge getting my feet as close as possible to my head

I got up and smoothed my costume out. I was wearing, it was a red sparkly dress reaching above my knees. The dress was backless and had two diamond shape cut outs in the front. My hair was in a high messy bun with a nice sparky clip in it and I had blood red lipstick

I took one last breath as they called me on stage

I walked on gracefully, ignoring the claps and went into my starting position which was a simple hands on my hips

The music started and I struck different poses before doing one spin going into 2 no hand cartwheels and on the second one I dropped down swaying my hips

Here came the hard part

I got onto one knee before going into the turn section, I did everything Chloe said to and I nailed it

My smile just grew and I continued dancing everything was going good until I did my round off into a backflip and I felt my clip fall out of my hair and onto the floor

I put a smile on and kept dancing but inside I knew that could make the difference

I struck my final pose which was simply me on the side of my knees pretending to wipe my forehead

"Thank you number sixteen Eve" said the announcer and I walked offstage

(A/N: from a hair piece falling out in the video I changed it to a clip falling out for this book )

I don't even bother to stop by at our table and run straight to the dressing room

I throw the door open before going to my vanity table and take a seat

How could I be so silly, the clip should have been held in tighter and because of that I just may have lost
