Natalia has finally been accepted into Miss Snow's Dance of the arts. A very beautiful dance school that pushes your limit. This dance number is I am controlled by my boyfriend. And I'm trying to break free from him. As I move away from his grasp Danny trips on his own feet and falls on the floor."Cut!!! Danny pull your act together if you can't nail this down your out of this school!! Everyone Marcus will take over lessons till Thursday." Miss Snow leaves the stage and I say. I have a killer headache and there isn't any food at home. Well Danny leaves his wallet out in the open maybe I could-."Natalia!" I snap out my daydream and look at the person in front of me. "Oh Zoey it's just you." Zoey giggles she's been my best friend since high school. "Come on girl I'll treat you to your favorite restaurant." I smile grateful Zoey has such a caring heart. With dancing I haven't got a stable job and I have eaten stale crackers and water for two days. Yet Zoey eats well and shops till she drops. That's because Zoey is a stripper. The restaurant we head to is the neighborhood Italian place. We got rustic Italian bread, herb dipping sauce, Ragu Alla Bolognese, Chicken Parmesan baked ziti, and bomboloni. "Girl please take up my offer about prostituting. You looked like you never saw real food in years."

I look down at my empty plate. The bomboloni just came out the kitchen so they are still hot. "OK Zoey" I say. Zoey smiles and pays for are meal. "But when I get money I'm paying you back Zoe" She laughs. "Alright girl let's get you of that old apartment and you can room with me. My place is right above the club I work at." I nod my head. We walk to Zoey's sports car. Zoey takes me home and I pack the essentials in my duffel bag. My stash of cash that contains $145, a couple of outfits and my lounge wear. I slip by the main office and hop into Zoey's car. She drives me to her studio apartment.

"The club's underneath my place. So tomorrow we will head down there and we will introduce you to Andrew." Zoey acts like I know who he is so I simply play along. Zoey slips on a tight short black dress and matching heels. "There is candy in those jars and room service is a phone call away. We'll share the bed for now and shop after you get the job." "Ok thanks Zoey-thanks for everything." Zoey gives me a hug. "No problem girl later." Zoey walks to the door and closes it silently. I throw on my sweat pants and favorite t-shirt. I grab handfuls of candy into a large bowl. The TV comes on with voice command. I ask for a marathon run of F.R.I.E.N.D.S and dim down the lights a bit. Around half way through my bowl of candy I drift off to sleep.

"Class time to head to the laboratory umm- Natalia your lab work is here we must discuss it."I shrugged and walked to his desk. He talked about different chemicals and once we were alone he stared into my eyes. "My dear forgive me I didn't know anyway to meet you without causing a stir." I'm scooped up. His lips find my neck and suck on my skin with his kisses. "Sir we-Ican't do this. Its against the rules.' He continued to kiss me as a struggled he layed me down to his desk. "You always followed the rules I loved that about you." He holds me down ashis fingers start to peel away my clothes. I snap up and kiss him hard. His grip is no longer on me. I kick him with all my might and run out the class room. I yell at the top of my lungs "RAPE!!!"I'm tackled to the ground and nearly lock in the janitors closet. When Jake,my lad partner, runs toward us.

I walk up with a start and sweating like crazy. I take a cold shower and lay back down in the bed. This time I find no sleep so I continue to watch F.R.I.E.N.D.S. I awake when Zoey comes home which is at 3am. She heads straight into the bathroom and takes an hour long bath. She comes out t-shirt drying her hair. I help her blow dry and braid her hair. I turn down the TV so Zoey can sleep.

Zoey is still sound asleep by 12 noon I decide to make something to eat. I whip up toasted everything bagels,roasted tomatoes, and refried beans with light cheese. By the time the foods done Zoey is up. I call room service and order Zoey a berry sangria, and me a white chocolate mocha frappuccino from Starbucks. Zoey wakes up to breakfast in bed. She smiles wide. "Thanks Natty now lets eat and get you ready to meet Andrew." I nod and join her in bed to eat are breakfast. After we are done I brush my teeth and get dressed. A grey pencil skirt, a white long sleeve off the shoulder top, and yellow converse. "Ok you look totally cute. Now put on light makeup. Andrew hates heavy makeup and lipstick. So when you get the job never ever buy lipstick unless Andrew says to." I borrow some of Zoey's makeup. I do a simple light look that Zoey approves of. 

When my outfit is complete Zoey claps her hands wildly. "You are totally ready. That job is in the bag lets go!!" Zoey throws on a floral romper and black heels. Walking out the door I feel something strange will happen. And I think it will be for my benefit.
