Maggie's POV

I hugged mum and dad, wishing them good luck on their jobs. I climbed into the car beside my half sister. I never liked her. She was always too kind. She didn't look like me at all, as well. I had lacy blonde hair which was annoyingly thick. She had short, thin, wispy copper hair. I have big, sweet blue eyes, she has narrow, angry hazel eyes. She's just...UGH.

Sadly, my bags covered the boot and most of the back seat of her old, sloppy car. I had to sit in the ripped leather seat in the front. I kept my dancing bag close to me. I wasn't in my dancing gear, I was in a normal, blue dress and sandals. You see, I was moving into a family called the Mills, because they were close to the best dancing school in the world. 

Claire Jackson runs it. In case you couldn't tell already, I'm a BIG fan of dancing. I do ballet, jazz, hip hop, you name it, I do it. I favour ballet though, because it's graceful and beautiful. I start humming 'one more day in love' by Max and Harvey. I don't even like them, in fact I HATE THEM, but you have to admit that song is catchy. 

All my old friends were addicted to them. It was 'Max and Harvey this' 'Max and Harvey that'. My half sister, Cora, snaps at me. 'Stop humming, it's doing my head in!' She says. Her mother was Irish and she escaped back to Ireland, to Kerry I think, not letting Cora visit again. 

She was almost 25, still living with mum and dad, yet I was 12 moving out already. I put in my earbuds, listening to TOP and Relaxing music, sending me to a deep sleep. 

~3 hours later~

I wake up with Cora slapping my arm. 'We're here, idiot. Grab your stuff. I need to get home.' She snaps. She didn't NEED to go home. She had no job or anything, she just WANTED to get rid of me. 

I grab my bags hurriedly and slam her door. I run up to the gate, but it was closed. 'Maybe they changed their minds about me.' I said out loud. I hear laughing out the back and I nod my head. 'I'd better go before they find me.' I think. I wouldn't want to be a..intrusion.

Before I turn around, four other kids run out to the front, throwing water balloons at each other. Three were boys, all topless. There was one girl, her swimsuit soaked and her blonde hair soaked as well. They stop when they see me. 'Who are you?' The girl asks. 

I blush a bright red. 'I was just um....leaving.' I say quickly. I notice that two boys look the same. *Twins* I think. A woman comes out. 'Kids, who are you talking t- Oh! You must be...Aurora Godsworth!' She exclaims with a smile.

'Actually, my name is Maggie. I know why you mixed it up though. It was my dads old wife's name. Mum didn't know but she made him agree to change my name when I was 7.' I told her. 'Oh, sorry...Maggie? Anyway, children, this is Maggie Godsworth. She's moving in with us for a while so she can go to Claire Jacksons.' She told them.

The girl gaped. 'As in, the good dance school? Let her in mummy!' She cheered. Sara, I think her name was, opened the gate, letting me in. I was struggling with all my bags (3 full bags in total, not including my dance bag). 'Harvey, Max, help her with her bags.' I couldn't happen to notice that one wore blue and a hat (They were both shirtless :()) and the other wore no hat. 

I kept my dance bag close. It was important to me. They carried one bag each, while I carried two. We got inside. 'Paul! Maggie is here!' Sara shouted. I looked around. The house was nice. 

A man walked out. 'I thought her name was Aurora?' he asked. So, Sara explained to him. He nodded and went back to the kitchen. Sara showed me around. I got a cute room, all lilac. I unpacked my clothes into the wardrobe, and fell onto my lilac bed. 

I sighed. Tomorrow I started at Claire's academy. I have to admit, I was kind of scared. I turned my phone on, listening to Melanie Martinez. I jumped up and started dancing, just from reflexes. 

I hear the door open, but I keep dancing. I stop when the song ends, panting from effort. I look to see one of the twins. Sara told me who was who. This was Max. He came in, shutting the door. I wave slightly to him. He glares at me. 'I don't want you here, so don't mix with me.' He says, leaving. 

I sit on the bed, shocked. It's getting to 6PM and sara calls me down for some food. It's pasta. I smile and eat it up. 

'Maybe you should go to bed, you have a long day tomorrow.' Sara says. I look unsure. 

'Hey, mum, can we make a few musical.lys?' Harvey asks. I don't even know what Musical.ly is. I don't have TIME for social media. 'What's musical.ly?' I ask. Harvey looks shocked, but goes into the sun room. 'I'll show you, come on.' 

He turns on a thing. I look at the username of his account. MaxandHarveyOfficial......Wait, they're Max and Harvey? I've never even seen them. 'You're Max and Harvey?' I ask. 'Yeah...' I say. 'What's your username?' He asks. I blush. 'I don't have Musical.ly.' I said. 

'Then how do you know us?' He asks, confused. I don't blame him. 'friends.' I said simply. He grabs my phone from my hands, downloading musical.ly and stuff. I don't stop him. 

My username is now Maggiethegod. Because, Maggie Godsworth, get it? no? ok...

Harvey tells everyone to follow me. We check the comments and there's a few saying mean stuff. I smile at them. 'I've never really gotten hate before.' I laugh. I like the hate, knowing I'm not perfect. 

My account blows up. 'I think I'll go to bed.' I say yawning. After all, tomorrow is my first day at Claire's academy.
