Flipped Out

Chapter 1

"Five..six..seven..eight", Ms. Liana called. We start dancing the routine for auditions. Even though we're already in the All-stars troupe, we have to re-audition every three months. That's how strict Ms.Liana is. "We must always strive for gold, so we need the best team to do it." , She always says.

  The choreo is tricky and tough , but nothing I can't handle. Beside me Natalie is just as confident. Since its audition day , there are many Bronzies-another troupe- who are here to bump up to All-stars. " Ok, take a 10 minute break, and we'll be back for auditions" , Ms Liana tells us.

  As me and Natalie are chilling out in the hallway, we spot a group of five girls walk in. "Do you know them?" I whisper to Nats-which is her nickname. "No." she replies. The group of girls are walking like they own the hall. "Do any of you know where the All-stars try outs are?" one of the girls from the group asks us. "Yeah. Here its actually right here.", Nats is now discussing all about the auditions, but I want to kick her in the shins for telling these strangers all about what we're doing here. For all we know they can be from a rival studio trying to get up to date with what we do here. I know sounds far-fetched but never should you trust strangers.

 "Ms. Liana we have brought some visitors for you!", Natalie singsongs in the studio. The five girls , Nats and me , head into Ms. L's office. "Thank you girls, you may leave", referring to us two Ms. L says. " But we are much fine where we are", I say, for I am curious to see what these girls have got to say. "OUT.", Ms.L reinforces, so Nats and I head out.

   " Whats going on in there?" , Patricia- the bossiest and nosiest of the troupe asks. But it was more like demanding . "Just some strangers talking to Ms.L" I reply, careful not to add to much emotion, for I swear that girl has a nose for lying. "If you say so...", Patricia says and wanders off to gossip to the rest of the dancers. I take a deep breath, I still have to practice this dance, because my place can easily be taken. But that would  only be if I broke my whole body and couldn't dance. Other than that my place can NEVER be taken. That's how it is here. You let your guard down for a sec- then you're on the ground.

   " I'm going to head for a drink Nats ok?" I ask her. " Sure fine", Nats is already back to practicing the routine.

  I make my way to the hall then get a drink. After I'm done, I hear this music coming faintly from the Bronzies studio. I tip-toe towards the studio and peek in. The lights are off and I see the same figure as I had seen weeks ago in the dim All-stars studio. I still couldn't see the person. Whoever this  person is he or she is amazing. I can't help but breathe a deep sigh. The figure turns, sees me and runs out of the studio before I can say a word. "Fiddlesicks", I whisper to myself, as I walk back to the auditions.
