One Direction Adopted Me, The Emo Girl

It Can't Be.... Can It?

BETHANY'S POV

OMFG! I totally forgot! I had a dance competition that Sunday! It was Friday! Dammit! I ran down the stairs and into the kitchen knowing Niall would be there.
"You alright Beth?" He asked sounding concerned. I nodded my head getting my breath back. We have a lot of stairs!
"I forgot that I have a dance competition on Sunday! Can I go?" I asked not caring about the answer knowing I would go whatever he said.
"Yes! I am coming too! I want to see how well you dance again!" He squealed loudly causing the others to come in.
"What?" Liam asked looking so confused.
"I have a dance comp on Sunday!" I said excitedly, I love dance comps! I was so close to being I champ! I just had to win two more and I would be one! I couldn't wait to show them what I do best properly. On a real floor instead of grass. I couldn't wait until Sunday!

************
It was Saturday afternoon and I was packing my bag for the next days dance competition. Well, it isn't really a bag, more like a suitcase! I packed my street costume- black hot pants, purple jumper like crop top, black converse and band wristbands: PTV, MCR, ADTR AA and ATL. I pug my street makeup bag in- yes I have different makeup for all my different dances: street, solo, pairs and slow. That makeup was basically just red lip stick and eyeliner. I put my slow in next knowing the order the dances would go in. My slow costume was amazing! It was a black leotard with gold sparkles all over it. The sides were cut out, black tassels all around my butt, had black wrist bands with gold diamonaites on them and an arm band with tassels on it too. I also had a head piece. I black band with a flower and long feathers coming out of it. I placed my slow makeup bag in too. My slow makeup was mainly all smokey eyeliner, eyeshadow and red lipstick. I put my solo costume in as my partner had our pairs costume. My solo was the costume Dani bought me the other day. I packed my makeup bag as well consisting of blush, eyeliner, mascara, lippy and loads more! I know I wear a lot more makeup with my solo. I packed loads of hair bands, my hair brush and my hair spray. I set my trackies and a t-shirt out along with my jumper and vans. I stepped in shower for a quick wash. I washed my hair, shaved my legs and armpits, then rubbed body wash all over me. I hopped out of the shower wrapped myself in a towel and left the bathroom walking back into my room. I rubbed myself dry before putting on panties and a bra. I got my bottle of fake tan out and quickly called El over to help me. I did my legs before she knocked in the front door. I heard the door opening and greetings exchanged before she ran upstairs past everybody. She knocked on my door and came in without waiting for my reply.
"You need my help?" She asked
"Yes!" I nodded
"Turn around!" She ordered. I did and soon felt the cold foam on my back and then her rubbing in. I did my arms and she did my stomachs all the while talking about anything. I let it set slightly before pulling a top on and shorts. I went downstairs saying goodnight to everyone and goodbye to El until the next day where everyone would be watching me....

The boys woke me up at 6am! I was screaming that i was trying to sleep and that they need to turn the sun off. They just laughed and told me to get up. I finally agreed half an hour later pulling my sleep clothes off and pulling on my trackies and t-shirt just holding my jumper. I packed a few last minute things: safety pins, extra paper, marker pens, energy drinks and food. I walked out of my room for all the boys to gasp at me.
"You used faketan?" I nodded
"Why?" Niall asked looking shocked.
"Everyone does at comps apart from like under 6's I don't think they're aloud too..." I replied. I pulled on my vans and soon we left the house
*skipping car ride*
We had arrived after two hours of the boys singing- well screeching- and jumping about in their seats. We got out of the car with them pulling hoods over their heads and putting sun glasses over their faces. We joined the queue to get in meeting up with the girls in the process. We got in after 10 minutes of waiting and I met up with my dance teacher- Hayley-and all the other competitors that were already here. Robyn is the oldest competitor we have in our school and is 21 but one of the nicest people I have ever met! Jazmine is my partner and an amazing one at that! She is 15 and an intermediate competitor. Sarah is next oldest and in her last year of school so is 17 her birthday being next week. Lola is our youngest competitive dancer being 6 she is only a beginner. We may be weird, but we're family! Soon enough Lola was being called up for her first solo round and I was still getting into my costume. This fucking tent! No it isn't a tent that you sleep in when you go camping if anything! It is a silky material that is elasticated at the top so it doesn't fall down when you're getting changed. I couldn't wear anything under my costume unless it would be seen by everyone. I finished pulling it on just as Lola was coming off. This was her first comp and she was so nervous earlier but now looks like she could take on the world! I pulled the tent over my head and all the boys stared at me. Hayley walked up to me and started squealing as she walked around me looking at my whole costume from every and causing everyone else in our dance school to look at me. Lola looked at me in awe, Jazmine looked so pleased that I got a new costume, Sarah looked amazed and Robyn, well Robyn was hugging me saying I looked brilliant.
"What is that?" Louis screeched.
"My solo costume?" I said- well more like asked- slightly confused
"There's barley anything of it!" Niall said quietly aware of the attention Louis' squeal had gained.
"So? It's made to look like this!" I replied slightly agitated
"If they don't think there's much there wait until they see our pairs costume...." Jazmine mumbled too me and I laughed. Our pairs costume was practically a skin right crop top with hot pants. The girls were saying that they loved the costume while the boys really didn't like it. Soon I was being called up to my category and I took my place on the floor. Oh how I have missed this! The music started a second later I was dancing my first section. Strait jump, illusion, illusion, pose! Elevate and run next judge. Single leg, hitch kick, pose! Elevate run, next judge. Single leg, box split jump, pose. And repeat. I did that until the music stopped. I bowed and walked proudly off of the floor. I just got back to Hayley and everyone and practically downed my drink, before they announced who would have to dance again in a minute. My number was called. I might just end up winning.

I did win my solo. One more solo win and I would be a champion! Everyone was so exited for me! The boys were warming up to a lot of me being on show, and my scars were covered in fake tan and makeup. I pulled my tent back over my head pulling it out if the elastic at the top and got Lindsey- Jazmines mum- to pass me the costume. I couldn't wait for the boys reactions to this one *note the sarcasm*! I pulled on the pink hot pants that had been modified so they were even shorter and sparkly. I got the crop top over my head, meaning I had to get my head into the tent. Again this was modified so it was practically a bra with tassels coming out of the top reaching my belly button. I pulled the tent over my head and the boys looked at me in shock.
"When did you get you belly button pierced?" Harry said loudly.
"Last week. When you weren't at home!" I argued "and don't tell the girls they should have stopped me, because it was their idea!" The boys looked at the girls disappointment etched into their faces. I rolled my eyes.
"Anyway, what are you wearing?" Liam asked sternly.
"My pairs! Can't you see Jazmine and I match!" I snapped
"Oh right! Because you can call that a costume! You look like a stripper!" Liam exclaimed angrily. That hurt. I walked out if the room grabbing my makeup bag and into the atrium. I didn't have to check Jazmine had followed me because she always knows when I need her some how. A few tears escaped my eyes before I wiped then away furiously.
"Come here!" Jazmine cooed softly. I sat there for about five minutes in Jazmines arms. I pulled makeup wipes out of my bag and wiped all of my previous makeup off. "If you do you makeup right now, you'll look like a panda! Let me do it!" Jazmine said to me giggling. I passed her my bag and she got started making my makeup look like hers. After it was done we looked so similar, the only difference was our hair.
We were soon called onto the floor and I was ignoring the boys. If they don't like like way I dress at comps then they can fuck themselves because I have to dress like this! The music came on and jasmines shoulders were moving signalling that she was about to start. Go! Straight jump, illusion, step ball-change step kick, double kick, pose. Elevate, run, new judge. Single leg to floor, left leg fan kick, pose. Elevate, run new judge! Single leg, hitch kick, turn with fan hand, pose. We repeated until the music stopped, and no matter how badly we did we were getting a medal as there were only five pairs dancing in our category! We came third and slow was next! You need to put emotion into slow, and right now I am so pissed at Liam and the boys. When I was called on I strutted on to the floor. There was only 4 of us in this category, and I had to win that one to become a champion slow dancer. I took my place and the music started. A thousand years by Christina Perri. I practised to this song so much. I new everything about it. Emotions seemed threw me as I started. I was so quickly moving off to the next judge. I forgot all about my routine and just made it up. Spins, pose, leg catch, spin. I went to the next judge. I did and illusion and landed in splits- something I hadn't done in a while and I could hear Hayley's gasp. I whipped my hair around before pulling my leg round so they were both together and pulled myself up and struck my pose: one hand on my hip and the other on my head. I moved on to the next judge. I ended up to Y hold, a back walkover- even though I'm not strictly aloud to- and posing. I waited for the results and yes I ended up winning. Everyone in our dance school was screaming and jumping up and down. The boys looked so confused as to why we were so happy I mean I had won all the others. But I was a champ! I was ecstatic! I changed into my street and look at my trophies properly. My solo trophie had a base and then a pillar type thing that was pink and star on the top. Our pairs trophies were identical- obviously- and were pink and blue basic trophies. My slow was amazing! It had a base and instead on just being plain it was a person leaning forwards with her leg up behind her do she was doing the splits in the air. It was beautiful. I heard footsteps behind me and it was Louis. I rolled my eyes and looked back at my trophies.
"I'm sorry." He said genuinely sounding it.
"I have to wear these costumes. If I don't at a comps there is no way I'm going to win!" I sighed.
"I get it. We over reacted. Why were you so exited when you won your slow? You won all the others without batting an eyelid!"
"Well, I am now a slow champion!"
I squealed. He just hugged me. The other boys soon came over.
"Sorry." They all said in unison. Needless to say it was creepy. Soon enough I was being called up for my street. I came second this time. When I was leaving the floor, my eyes locked with someone else's. They looked exactly like his eyes. Recognition flashed threw them. It couldn't be him..... Could it?
