My hands were trembling, I could feel it, without even having to look down at them. Thousands of eyes were on the other side of the curtain as I moved up on the small staircase: step by step. The sound of my footsteps was faint due to the cheering of the crowd.

"Ah, ah. Stop it," said a random voice I happened to hear coming from the supply closet I had just passed. Woah, okay. I'm just going to ignore that and make my way through the rest of the story.

I could feel my heart thumping: thump, thump. Should I just give up and quit? I mean, it's not like I'm any good... No way! I've practiced for three whole years just for this moment. I need to get up on that stage and do what I've been waiting and preparing myself for.

My mind was going all over the place, and my stomach was about ready to let out all the food I had eaten. I sit down on one of the foldable chairs, trying to keep calm. Suddenly, there is an arm on my sholder, causing me to turn around and face the person. The owner of the hand was some guy who had tattoos all over his neck. Damn, he looked dangerous. He started asking for money, making me confused. What the heck?

"You used our money for three years in order to be in this academy, and yet you haven't paid us back," the guy says sounding a little pissed, "Go up on that stage and get our money!"

"But I'm useless, I shouldn't have chosen to be a dancer, especially when I know I suck," I couldn't help but say.

He pushes me forward saying "Just go!" He whispers something unaudible soon after, making me curious.

"I'll go if you cheer me up," I said, still feeling down.

"Fine, just get it over with." He quickly pecked my lips and a slight blush appeared on his cheeks before disappearing. I was speechless and blushed furiously. "Go on, baby. I'll be waiting," he said out of nowhere.

The comment made my pulse quicken and my face redden. "Hurry, the people are waiting, baby."

Trying to ignore the badump that came from my chest, I quickly made my way on stage and took a deep breath. It's time for me to shine.
