Hollywood Vibe Competition
"And, for our overall best scorer of the competition . . . RYLEIGH COLLINS!" The announcer yelled, his voice booming through the stadium.
Yup.
My 44th win this season.
I had simply stunned the crowd with a Spanish Jazz piece, but I was also dancing on Pointe at the same time. It was a very unique piece, and I agree with the fact that it should have won - which, of course, it did.
"Thank you so much! This means a lot to me!" I spoke into the microphone, accepting my award, though I snorted quietly. Fat chance. Hollywood Vibe was a very small competition, well, for me, anyway!
After everything had simmered down, and I had said about a billion "Thank you!", "No, you should have won!" and "You shouldn't have!" 's, my voice – and patience – was getting tired. I walked over to my beaming parents, who looked extremely happy.
"Great job, darling! You wow-ed the crowd!" She said, excitedly.
"44th win, right? Then I owe you 44 dollars!" My dad crowed, pulling me into a hug. I felt safe in his warm embrace.
A little while after, we went to my dressing room, and gathered everything up, me carrying my latest award proudly, head held high. This had been a great competition.
"Ry, honey?" Mom called, as I prepared a mud mask for my face.
"Yup, Mom?" I replied, slapping the mud mask onto my face. Dad walked in, and put his arm on Mom's shoulder. They both looked anxious; Mom couldn’t meet my eyes, and Dad kept shifting his weight nervously.
"We're moving." They said at the same time.
We're MOVING?
Oh, hell no.
