Chapter 2
Maddie's POV:
"Come on girls! In the studio!" Abby called at us. "We're doing the pyramid today."
I looked at the new girl, Kayla, or Mikayla or whatever. She looked like a good dancer. She was very tall and pretty with long legs and arms. I can't let her steal my spot as Abby's favorite. I had to beat her at dance.
"Alright, at the bottom of the pyramid, Paige." Abby smirked at Paige. "Paige, you showed absolutely unsatisfactory work in your routine this week. I am utterly disappointed. You missed two steos and your leg wasn't high enough. You were giving me barely even 5%. I expect 110% from all of you."
Paige nodded. Abby always picked on her. Well, too bad Paige, Abby NEVER yells at me.
"Next, Nia. Nia, you were barely okay. You got places nineth. NINETH? Seriously? After ALL we worked on last week, those extra classes, lessons. You get places NINETH? Totally unacceptable."
Ooh, Miss Abby's not in a good mood today.
"Now, onto Mckenzie. Mckenzie, you did your dance, it was nice, it was cute, but your foot wasn't pointed and your elg wasn't straight. If you had fixed that, maybe you wouldn't have ranked fifth in your solo." Abby raised her eyebrows at my little sister.
"Moving on. Brooke. Your dance was good. You did a fantastic job but your facials were too fake. Your smile wasn't real. You looked miserable up there." Abby told Brooke who was to my right.
"Kendall, I am pleased with your routine. But it could've been better. Overall, you did a good job in the trio, your solo and the group dance. But you can improve drastically." Abby said.
Kendall nodded.
I'm sure I would be on top of the pyramid.....
"Next, Maddie. You aren't on the top this week, because your dance wasn't as good as I'd hoped. You could've worked on it better. And do you remember how you missed a step in the dance?" Abby looked at me.
I nodded and then bit my lip. I could feel fury growing inside me. Why am I ranked third in the pyramid? That means either Chloe or Kendall is on the top. Great, another competition.
I have to upstage that new girl Mikayla and whoever is on the top of the pyramid. Oh well, I can do that. I'll beat both of them. I'm a good dancer.
"Next, Kendall. Kendall, you did a spectcular job this week. The reason you're not on the top is because your solo was a bit iffy. But I'm still proud of you."
That means....Chloe is on the top. Chloe, my rival in dance class. And old time frenemy.
"Chloe, you were superb....."Abby began.
Oh great. I was upstaged by Chloe.
Now I have to beat Mikayla and Chloe. I can do that. I still don't know whether or not Mikayla's a good dancer.
"Mikayla, you are not on here yet, but you will be soon. After this week." Abby says to her.
Mikayla nods.
"This week you will be doing a dance called "I'm The Best." Abby says.
Wow, is this like a coincedence or something? This is the perfect dance for me!
"It is a sort of snotty and stuck up dance, but the judges will LOVE it. Okay, moms out! Girls, spread apart!" Abby announces.
