As Everything Changes

Chapter 1

*Selena's POV*

"Selena! Watch your toes when you do your jette! Pointed toes! Pointed toes!" my dance teacher, Ms. Lilian shouts.

I nod and point my toes and repeat the jette. She gives me a thumbs up and I repeat the motion a couple times.

"Wonderful now try the routine with the music!" She claps before walking over to the stereo.

I get in my starting position just as she starts the music to 'Skyscraper' by Demi Lavato.

I dance until after the first chorus ends. I end standing with my head up high with a brave smile on my face.

"Re run the chorus and I believe it should be nearly perfect," Ms. Lilian announces.

I stand in the last position before the chorus. She starts the music and I take off into an extended spin then tumble to the ground and land on my back. From there I finish the routine with barely any problem, per say the usual.

"When you go home tonight I expect you to work on your scorpion. It's beginning to look sloppy," she orders me.

I nod and discreetly roll my eyes. I'd like to see her dance for two hours straight and do a double spin landing in a perfect scorpion.

"I will see you bright and early tomorrow morning due to the cancellation for tonight's practice, including your private," she tells me.

"Okay Im gonna sit in the stands to watch Alexa practice," I state. She waves me off simply and I walk into the changing room.

I put on my denim ripped shorts, a pink crop top with Love across it in silver letters, my neon pink Vans, and pull my blonde hair out of its bun.

It cascades into little waves down my shoulders. I put on mascara, lipgloss, tan sparkly eyeshadow, and a little eyeliner.

Just as Im applying eyeliner to my other eye, Alexa walks in.

"Hey oh my god when I walked in there was some girl talking to Ms Lilian and she was like totally geek land!" she squeals when she see's me.

"Oh yeah Ms Lilian told me that her niece was visiting for a while. She showed me pic and I swear her glasses were the size of Texas!" I exclaim, putting my eyeliner in my makeup kit.

"Ha yeah I can't believe something like that is related to Ms Lil!" she giggles.

"Well Ill wait for you in the stands! Bon voyage!" I wave before twirling around and exiting the room.

"Selena wait a moment!" Ms Lilian shouts as I open the standing room door.

I shut the door and turn towards her. Standing beside her is a girl with red hair braided to the side, thick rimmed glasses, wearing an old ripped red plaid button up shirt, bootcut jeans, and cowgirl boots.

My nose crinkles at the fashion disaster but I smile sweetly as I walk towards the two.

"What's up?" I ask.

"This is my niece I told you about, Lucille. She's gonna be helping me the next few days. For the rest of the week that is," she explains.

I turn towards the disaster named Lucille and stick out my hand. I can't believe Im going to touch her.

She grabs it and quickly shakes it before tearing her own arm away. She must be one of those shy nerds.

"It's nice meeting you," as if, "but I should get going now. Alexa should be out in a minute," I say.

"Okay I will see you tomorrow!" Ms Lilian shouts as I walk away.

I hear Lucille squeak something like a 'bye' but I couldn't quite tell due to her quietness. Thank god she's only gonna be here for a few days.
