Lucy's Pov

"Which way do you go?" I ask the girls I'm dancing with. We just were called backstage to line up. I'm chatting with some other girls and Ava because she's 10 numbers ahead of me. The live comm person comes by and takes photos and when we get closer to the camera we're making funny faces at the camera. Ava goes on and from what I hear it sounds really good.
"Lucy Chill. You're 2nd in the world. You'll be fine." I say to myself. I walk out onstage and wait for the 8 bars to finish.
"And di-didally dum click and click up click down one two three batter batter bang up." I think.
I hear a thud and then
*Ding*
I stop dancing and I see one of the girls down on the ground. We go back to the Xs and then walk off.
"We'll have you girls go again in 5 rotations." We head over to the side and catch our breath.
"Now we have competitors 201, 202 and 203 re-dancing." We walk back onstage and we're on the first step this time when
*Ding*
The two other girls had collided and we have to get off again. Ugh this is basically like doing stamina... I'm putting all my energy into these dances. We better not have to start again...
We finally get to dance again and we're literally not even on the left foot of the lead and the bell is rung and one of the girls is on the ground clutching her leg. Seriously? We stop and go off again. She's carried off and into the audience. I guess she's done... At this point I'm really tired and stressed out so by the time we actually get through an entire dance I know it's not my best...
I go offstage and back over to mom. She gives me a hug then whispers to me. "It was still better than Ava's."
Woah if it was better than Ava's I could win worlds!
