Shadows to Stages

Dear diary

I was so excited to see Maya and Abigail again. Seeing them yesterday was the best day ever. Well actually Scott and all the days we've spent together they are pretty good too. Again today I had ballet and yesterday Maya said we should all go to ballet tomorrow. I was nervous because Mrs Williams did tell me to think about the internationals in L.A.

I met Scott and he walked over and we kissed. It's like it's the first time we've kissed but we've done it more than once. Scott said 'I missed you yesterday, I had to stick through a lot of dancing.' 'Really was that Mrs Williams.' I felt bad but Scott is an amazing dancer so I knew he got through it and he always will. 'She needs to find a female and male soloist for internationals. I think she's thinking about putting me up for it.' He and everyone is reminding me about internationals and my decision. 'I got to go I'll be late for ballet , see ya later.' I hugged him and ran to meet Maya and Abigail.

We all ran into ballet and surprisingly we were early. Mrs said 'You guys just stretch there and wait for the others to arrive to class, kay?' Mrs seemed really happy today but she always is happy and bubbly. That's what I love about her. She so enthusiastic about dance like me,Maya and Abigail so she's a perfect teacher. We went to the corner and started to stretch. We were back on the subject of internationals which I really didn't want to talk about. I still followed along with the conversation and I engaged in to the conversation. The rest of the class came running in. Mrs came back and said 'Look who decided to show up to my class, now because of your flabbergasting actions none of you have time to stretch. Everyone spread out. Girls you three come up to the front as you show such a good example to the rest of the class.' She pointed at me, Maya and Abigail and we came to the front. I love how Mrs used the word flabbergasting actions. It pretty bizarre but hilarious. The class was amazing. Mrs Williams said 'Alright class, even though most of you were late, we can do 20 minutes of freestyle, kay.' Everyone was cheering and clapping. 'This time it's a competition. Two will go head to head in a dance battle and the final two will battle it out. Let's do this!' I was excited. I was going to destroy some people. 'First up Maya and Luke'. Mrs Williams picked them out and Maya walked up. Luke put his hand out to shake with Maya but she stared at it and turned and walked away. Everyone was cheering and clapping for her. She was full of sass. Mrs played the music and Luke stepped up and killed it. He was flipping out. He wanted this but not as much as Maya. Maya was twirling and she clearly won when she brought her leg up slowly. He stared at her. Her leg was right beside her head and her head and body dropped down and clearly redeemed it. 'The winner is clearly....... Maya!' We ran over and hugged her. Loads more competitions went through and people were dropping left and right. 'Next, Abigail and Daniel.' Mrs Williams picked them out. Abby and Daniel are very much the same dancer. They both do contemporary and ballet. Abigail has been practicing acro and jazz dancing so she might have an edge. They were good friends so it was kind of sad to see them go against each other. Abigail stepped up and she was a different dancer. There was some type of fire in her which I've never seen. When she finished she walked right in front of Daniel's face. Daniel brushed past her and danced. He was messing up which he never did. 'Well I guess we have a winner,
Abigail congrats.' Mrs Williams said. We ran over and we all hugged. Daniel grabbed his things and walked out. More competitions went by and there was only one more competition was left. It was me and Sasha. I felt confident but not confident. I was about to go and dance but Sasha coughed and walked up. For some reason I followed her orders which never happens. Her solo was amazing which made me extremely nervous for mine. Her solo was so sassy and it had everything. When she was done everyone went crazy even Mrs Williams. I walked up and Maya and Abigail were clapping. I never felt more nervous in my life. I had to go against my rival though I did nothing to her. I stepped up and I knew what I had to do. Scott had walked past and came in. I started my solo( see above). I felt confident that I could win. I was about to finish and I knocked out all my pirouettes and everyone went crazy. Sasha still looked confident but I was also. 'This is a tough decision, but I've made up my mind. Bella congratulations'. Mrs Williams was smiling at me. Sasha was screaming 'What, are you kidding me. My solo was much better. Ugh Amelia let's go.' They both walked out. Mrs Williams came up to me, Abigail and Maya.' Congrats girls, because you are all amazing we can't decide which on of you wins so I guess you all win.' We all hugged and walked out together. It was an amazing day. Scott ran up to me and lifted me up. 'You did amazing. You totally deserved it.' He was smiling. 'Thanks it was hard. I got to go, I'll text you later on.' I kissed him on the cheek and walked out.

When I got home I received a text from Sasha. It said 'you will pay for beating me.'
I deleted the message, told my mam and went to bed. I didn't care what she said. I won far and square.
