I give a content sigh as I set my dance bag on the floor of the dance studio. I'm so excited to be back here. Ballet is my happy place.
"You ready?"
Kade says as she also sets down her bag.
"I've been ready for a long time. Trust me."
I say with a smile and we head to the barre.
We start with a warmup called therapeutic and then we do some pliés. We do it all. Dégegé, tendu, grande battement, a bunch of other combos and end the barre time with a nice leg stretch. Then we have a water break and we work on our splits. After around five minutes, we start the center floor combos. Jumps, leaps, and turns is mostly what we do. We end in a adagio combination. Which is just a nice, slow cool down and then we dismiss. I thank my teacher Mrs. Nancy for the class and then I follow Kade and Kat out the door and back into the car.
"Aaahhhh. That was amazing. You never realize how much you miss it until you go back."
I say closing my eyes, trying to relive the class again.
"I can agree with that. So glad to be back."
Kade agrees.
"I don't know about either of you, but I'm starving."
Kat interrupts us.
We all laugh.
"We're always hungry."
I chuckle.
"I second that!"
Their mom Mrs. Debbie days from up front.
"Those girls eat me out of house and home. Always going back and forth to the grocery store. Such a hassle."
I laugh.
"I think my mom can relate to you."
"I bet so."
We arrive at my house so I say goodbye and walk into the house.
"I'm home!"
I yell.
"Hey Ell!"
I hear Nate say from the kitchen.
"Woah."
"What?"
He asks confused.
"You're cooking. Are you ok? Will I be ok after eating? Maybe I should just skip dinner."
"Oh shut up. Mom's at work so I thought I would step up and make dinner. You're welcome."
He stirs something in a pot.
"First, never said thank you. Second, thanks. Whatcha making?"
"Just Mac and cheese."
"Yum! I'm starving. Call me when it's done. I'm gonna take a quick shower."
I start out towards the bathroom.
"Will do little sis."
I groan at him.
"Stop it!"
"Stop what?"
"You know what!"
"No I don't. There are many things I could be stopping. Stop make dinner? Sure if you wanna starve. Stop being your brother? Not a chance. Stop breathing? Now I'm offended."
"Whatever. I'll be back."
I hear him laugh from the kitchen. I have no idea what I'll ever do with him. Or what I'll ever do without him.
HEYYYYY Two updates in one day! This was just a short one so I figured if just post it. We JUST got home from the trip. I'm so tired. But I can't wait to watch the OUAT episode!!!! We had to wait long enough!
Btw this is what I actually do in dance class!
That's all for now.
