I won't be switching P.O.V.s that often because I want to have Harper's P.O.V. For the whole comp.

Harper's P.O.V
I got my dance bag and ran to the car, my bag bouncing on my hip with every step. I sat in the back and buckled my seat belt. I folded my arms while I waited but winced from a bruise. My parents soon came out with Jake and Madison.

"Let's go." Dad said. We were off.

~time skip to class~
I adjusted my black sports bra and pulled my blue booty shorts higher.
"Ok so today we have a whole group dance, a solo and a duet. Each big girl will be paired with a little girl. Here are the partners. Oh, Ricky you will be with a girl as well. Harper and Emily, Ricky and Jenna, Maddie and Addy, Sophia and Olivia, Emma and Brynn, and Iris and Violet." Mrs Jensen told us our partners and we went to find them.

Hi Harper. I'm Emily. I saw your solo last competition and it was awesome." Emily cheered.
"Thank you." I replied, happy.
"The solo for the younger girls is Harper. Mostly because she got first. And the duet is Maddie and Harper. Older girls I'll tell you yours later."

Yay! I had another solo. We started working on our group dance, Last Friday Night by Katy Perry. We finished our group dance and got our costume. The older girls were dismissed and it was just me and Maddie.

"Girls, your duet is called I'm a Survivor. I forget who it's by. We have to work really hard because your competition is tomorrow. So you start holding hands and rocking back and forth. Yeah. Just like that." Mrs Jensen explained how to do our whole dance and we practiced it like 20 times.

I hugged Maddie when it was time for her to leave. Our costumes were cool. We worked on my solo for a half an hour. When it was as perfect as can be, I went to find my mother. I ran into her arms and she picked me up.

"Please tell me you can come to my competition tomorrow." I said hopefully.
"I wouldn't miss it for the world." Mom kissed my nose. We drove home. I slowly walked into the kitchen and sat down.

"Hey. How was practice? I heard you have a competition tomorrow. I can't wait to see it." Dad told me.
"It was good. I have a solo, a duet, and the group dance." I said happily and started eating the pizza that was set in front of me. I had one piece because I wasn't that hungry. I ran up the stairs and hopped in the shower.

I let the water run over my body. It washed away all the pain and I relaxed. I washed my hair and body. I turned off the shower and stepped out. I shivered when the cold air came in contact with my wet skin.

I dried my hair and body. I got on my pajamas and French braided my hair. I laid in bed and started reading my book. Then I decided to check if I had everything in my bag. I went downstairs and looked in the closet. I pulled out the black bag.

I unzipped it and Cloud came out. I giggled and pet him. I put him on the ground. I saw my black hip hop shoes, my tan jazz shoes, and my light pink ballet shoes. I found my Last Friday Night costume, my I'm a Survivor costume and my When you Wish Upon a Star costume. I took out my braid and got into bed. I was excited for tomorrow.

~Time skip morning~ Jens P.O.V.
I twisted Harper's hair into a French twist bun.
"Cover your mouth." I said and sprayed the hair spray. She ran off to get her group dance costume on. I went to a closet and saw both her backpacks. One for dance, and one for school.

It was Saturday and she started school on Monday. I grabbed Harper's competition backpack. Everyone went to the car.
"I'm excited. I've never been to a competition before." Madison exclaimed.
"Yeah. Me either." Jake agreed. I nodded.

"This is only my second one." Harper spoke up. We pulled up to the studio and got out of the car.
"I'll go with Harper on the bus. You can drive there." I said. We were going to Orlando for a week. I grabbed our bags and got on the bun.
"Harper!" Maddie squealed and hugged her. I smiled and we sat down.

"Moms. For her eyes put on blue eyeshadow and red lipstick. Blush is a light pink. Number 3 for the fake eyelashes. They should have their group costume on. Their hair should be in a French twist bun." Mrs. Jenson called out.

Harper's P.O.V.
"Honey, close your eyes." Mom said. I closed my eyes and felt the brush go over my eyelids. Next, she put he eyelashes on. I could feel the brush against my cheeks when she put on the blush. I put the lipstick on myself.

I got out my iPad mini and played Candy Crush. I'm on level 91. I switched a color bomb with a red wrapped candy and every red candy exploded. I beat the level just when we pulled into the parking lot. I turned it off and put it in my moms bag. We got out of the bus and walked in the building.

I hung up my costumes and found Emily. We practiced our part and soon everyone joined in.

"Act 129. Last Friday Night. Your on in three dances." A stage crew member said. Emily lifted me onto her back. We went backstage and waited.
"Now act number 129, Last Friday Night. " The announcer said. We walked on the stage on our partners backs.

We danced to the music and the younger girls and boy had a section where we just danced. Same with the older girls. We hopped on our partners backs again and ran off stage. The audience cheered.

We ran back to our dressing room and wiped off all the makeup I had on. Besides the lipstick. I put on my two piece solo costume and we put dark blue eyeshadow and kept everything else the same. I put on my ballet shoes and Mrs. Jensen ran through it with me.

When it was time for me to go on, butterflies erupted in my stomach. The music played and I pranced gracefully across the stage. I looked for Jake and my family. I found them and I smiled at them. I slid down in the splits and smiled. I walked off the stage. I think that went very well. I hope the judges like it.

~time skip to next dance~
I held Maddie's hand as we followed the crew girl to the stage. When we were up, we danced just like Mrs. Jensen taught us. I did my side aerial and Maddie did her front one. We ended flexing. I saluted. We walked off like soldiers.

~time skip(again)~ Pats P.O.V.
I loved the competition! Harper ended up coming home with a 1st place for her duet and solo and 2nd for her group. It turned out pretty well. We put on our swimsuits and went to the pool.

I think this day went perfect. Harper got good places and I enjoyed the competition. I think it was the second best day of my life.

I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Have a new book out. Please check it out. I got messages from my readers and they really made my day. I'd like to thank Catlover901  and EhItsEmily . Thank you guys!
