“And last but not least, Becca Jacobs!” Jackson concludes and I stand up, a smile broad on my face as I make my way into the room with my new co-dancers.

“I was so nervous you have no idea! Literally I thought I was going to bite off my lip!” A woman’s voice sounds as soon as I open the door.

“Hello!” I say with a smile as I join the small group seated on the plush sofas in the center of the room. Everyone says back their greetings and while we wait patiently for Jackson and the girls to come in we make small talk about our lives.

“So, Becca, where are you from?” The blonde girl, Emily, says and I bite my lip.

“I’m from Ohio. That’s in America” I say with a small smile.

“That’s cool, I used to live in Akron. Isn’t the Cleveland Museum of Art awesome?” Roy asks with a smile and my face drops. What is the Cleveland Museum of Art?

“Um, I’ve never been. I never had the time to go to places like that. I, uh, was always, um, traveling with my parents” I say after a few seconds.

“Well, when we go on tour in the states I’ll take you there” Roy promises and I smile back.

“That would be very nice” I tell him and just as he was going to respond in came the four girls and Jackson.

“Hello ladies and gentleman and welcome to the Little Mix Dance Crew! We left you lot be for a few minutes so you can get to know each other better. I hope you used the time wisely because we will become a family here. We go out for ‘family dinners’ and we have ‘family functions’ you are all required to attend. We are also having an outing Friday night so I expect you all to be there with your guests! Your first rehersal will be on Monday so you have a week before the real work starts. Enjoy the rest of your day everyone! It was lovely to meet you!”

When Jackson finished we all took turns talking to the girls and Jackson, who made each of us punch in a number into his phone. When my turn came I bit my lip as I approached the man.

“Um, Jackson, I don’t have a phone yet… But I’m supposed to be going with the girls and my roommate to get one tonight…” I trail off biting my lip hard.

“Oh it’s no big deal love, just get my number from Gemma or one of the girls and just text me when you get your phone” Jackson tells me with a smile which I return. Just as I was going to say a thank you Gemma burst through the doors coming over to me.

“Thank you Jackson again, you have no idea how much this job will mean to me” I say sincerely before Gemma is dragging me away towards the now free girls who were all sprawled out on the sofas.

“I’m just going to go change” I say quietly to Gemma who nods before plopping down between Jade and Leigh-Anne. Shaking my head I make my way towards the locker rooms to change. Once finished dressing I gently remove the pins from my hair so it falls from the bun and into a now curly pony tail. I make sure there are no fly away hairs and fix my make up before exiting the locker room, making my way towards the room I left ten minutes ago.
