Beep beep beep beep beep.

I woke up to the sound of my annoying alarm clock. Groaning with displeasure, I hit the snooze button before getting out of bed. I stretched my tired limbs as a means of waking them up for a very busy day.

It was now 7:15 am and school commenced at 8:30. I went in the bathroom and took a ten minutes shower.

With my fluffy sky blue towel tightly wrapped around my body, I walked over to my closet and selected a pink baggy pants, green oversized T-shirt and a pair of black converse.....

Silly right?

I had other clothes that fit me perfectly, but I prefer to hide my body. Not that I am ashamed of it , it's just that I hate the attention it draws, especially from the male population.

Don't mean to brag and all but I have a great body, but I prefer to keep it hidden for my future husband.

I clothes myself did my hair in a messy ponytail and put on my glasses...

Not that I needes it.

I picked up my bag and headed downstairs in the kitchen. As usual I saw my mom, dad and younger sister, Gwen, seated around the table watching the television.

"Good morning everyone." I greeted with a smile before taking a seat beside Gwen.

"Good morning hun." My mom and dad said in unison.

"Ugh.... it took you long enough, I am starving." My sister said with a pout which resulted me to chuckle....

Little sisters...

I thought.

"Well I am here now, so we can eat." I said to her.

Mom quickly prayed a prayer of thanks for the food before we started eating.

We all watched the television and ate in silence.

"Good morning Harlem! I am your girl Ariella Watson and welcome to the Entertainment Gossip. On today's main topic is the hottest and most popular boy band 'D-mix' and their competition 'MOVE N SING TO THE BEAT'. The competition came about when the group considered having a female to join in. She must be seventeen to nineteen years old. She must be able to sing and dance very well.I n order to enter just fill out a form and make a video of you singing and dancing and send it to the Harlem King Dance Studio. The winning female will receive a full scholarship to attend the All Arts Academy for Young Stars. She will be a member of the D-mix group and will win a million dollars and more.
That's all in the E.G see you next time."

"O. M. G.... that's so awesome!!!"
My sister said excitingly.

"Indeed it is." my mom agreed.

I continued eating my breakfast in silence moments before I heard a throat cleared. My head snapped up and saw everyone looking at me.

"What?!" I asked confused, until realization hit me. I shaked my head in disagreement.

"No. No. No. No.....Not ganna happen." I said.

"Really Claire?! Why?!" Mom and Gwen asked in unison.

"I just don't want to. Not my scene." I replied honestly.

"But you dance and sing very well."

"Ugh.... dad." I whined for help.

"Claire , your mom and Gwen are wrong about forcing you into things you don't want to do...." he started as I smiled in victory.

"But I do think you should enter this competition." He finished which cause my victorious smile to turn into a loser's frown.

"I can't believe this." I said and threw my hands up in disbelief.

"Oh. Come. On....Claire you have such a great talent, why hide it?" Mom reasoned.

"Yeah thanks for the complement and it's like I said before not my scene." 

After realizing that I wasn't changing my mind, mom sighed with defeat.

"Fine, you win... we won't force you into doing anything." Mom said to me and everyone else nodded in agreement.

"Thank you."

"Come on Gwen we don't want to be late for school." I said.

Gwen and I bid our goodbyes to our parents before heading out to school.

............

As my sister and I passed students in the busy hallway, we heard most of them talking about D-mix and the competition.

"I am so...ganna enter."

"I have a killer voice, so I'll definitely win."

"Aiden is so...cute, when I win I am sure he's ganna ask me out."

"Miles is hot...what am I saying , their all hot."

I heard some say.

"This competition is huge." Gwen stated.

"I'm quite aware."

"Yeah, but haven't you seen Aiden before, he is so hot." She commented dreamily before I rolled my eyes.

"Really Gwen? He's just a guy."

"Yeah, but a hot guy."

Once again I rolled my eyes.

"You know if you continue doing that your eyes are ganna roll out." She joked.

I raised one eyebrow with a playful smirk on my lips.

"Is that so..?" I asked.

"Yup."

I chuckled while shaking my head.

Little sisters.

I thought.

The bell rang before we reached our lockers. We took out books necessary for our first period before going our separate ways.

....

The day went by in a flash.

I went downstairs to my secret hide out, the basement. I changed my baggy clothes into my dancing suit.
