Ballet is seventeen year old Emma Nolan's passion. Emma is rich and popular. The guys want her and the girls envy her. The Nolan family is the richest in the town, but every family has dark secrets.
The production of the year, Swan Lake, is coming...
Emma's POV I wake up and sigh. Last night did not go well. I've only made my relationship with my parents worse.
I get up and make my way to my bathroom. I make sure not to step on any of the broken porcelain. I should really clean that up.
I brush my teeth and run my fingers through my hair while I contemplate what I should wear.
I like using big or fancy words. Wow. That was really random. Am I okay? Probably not. Eh, oh well.
I decide to go with blue jeans, black tank, and a light blue flannel that I leave unbuttoned.
I put on my white converse and grab a leotard that's a really pretty shade of blue.

I creep down the stairs once I have all my shit together, and open the door to the garage.
I'm the only one in our family that uses the driveway. I see two of the eight cars that normally occupy the huge garage missing.
Good.
That means that Dad is at work, and Mom is probably at some kind of stupid brunch at a country club or something.
I go in the kitchen and grab a blood red apple. Boy oh boy do I love apples. (Don't freak out guys. It's just an apple :) ~Bella)
I head to school and see Ruby standing at my locker looking smug as ever. Uh oh.
I slowly walk up to the bright red-lipped she wolf with a killer smile/smirk. When approaching a wild animal you're supposed to show no fear and not run away right? I don't know, hopefully she won't be as skeptical as Belle considering that she has a much lower IQ than her.
"Heeeeey Rubs. How's it goin?" She keeps her smile and tilts her head,
"Just peachy. You didn't miss much yesterday so that's good."
"What'd you tell the others yesterday?" Haha, others. I'm making them sound like aliens. You get it, the fifth wave? Anybody? For real? Come on!
"I just told them you were sick but didn't want your mom to fuss over you so they could stay quiet." I give her a hug,
"You're a life saver Red. I don't know what I'd do without you." She laughs,
"I know, I know, I'm amazing. And how many freaking nicknames do you have for me? Rubs, Ruble, Red, Red Lips, Ruby with the big Boobies!" I started laughing with her. Me and Gina haven't used that one in forever.
"We should get to class before Auggie and Gina get suspicious. Well, mainly Gina. We all know that August is the slow one in the group." I roll my eyes and link arms with one of my best friends as we head to class.
