Chapter 7:
Mikayla's POV:
Wow, that girl really sure has done it. Joined the suckish Candy Apples?
Chloe, Brooke and I stare at eachother. This is low, even for Maddie.
I practice a suckish firebird leap in the room, practicing my solo. I'm nerous, even though i was sure, 24 hours ago that I would definately win number 1. But the group dance is what gets on my nerves.
If I do well, that doesn't mean the other dancers will. I sigh. I'll still be on the top of the pyramid no matter what.
After fifteen minutes, the competition begins.
The Competition Starts
I wait backstage, my hands shaking a little. I am dressed in a sparkly silver costume.
"Up next, entry number 405, we have Mikayla Dorstone with "Glamourous"!" the voice booms out, loud and clear.
I force a brilliant smile on my face and sashay out.
The dance begins.
Kick, kick, turn turn, run, firebid leap, SPLIT.
Run, aerial, backflip, LAND.
Chaine, freespin, free spin, swing shoulders up and down.
Chasse, aerial, backflip, turn turn turn! Firebird leap, arch the back and SPLIT!
End!
I get up and take a bow while the audience whoops and cheers. I find my mom in the crowd and give her a big red lipstick mouthed smile.
Then I walk off the stage where I walk to the dressing room.
Abby only entered one solo this week into the competition. There was supposed to be two, one for me and one for Maddie, but since she's not here....
"Great job Mikayla!" the girls come over and hug me.
"Thanks guys! If Abby staying out there to watch the Candy Apples?" I ask.
"I think so. She wants to see Maddie and Makenzie I think." Brooke's mom, Kelly, pipes up, speaking more to Chloe's mom, Christi, than me.
Kendall looks a bit uncomfortable, along with her mother Jill. Oh yeah, Brooke told me. When Kendall's mother got mad at Abby, she took her over to Cathy. Haha.
Abby forgave Kendall eventually, but she won't forgive anyone anymore.
We get called down to do our group dance.
AN hour later, we have to report down for awards.
I sit on the stage next to Nia and Paige.
"And now, for the number one junior soloist, it's Mikayla, with "Glamourous'!"
Everyone screams and claps and cheers for me. I high five Brooke and Paige, hug Nia and Chloe and Kendall.
I gladly accept my award.
I've won so many awards.
Miss Mini Onstage New York.
Acro Class WInner.
Small Fry Miss DEA.
A Jump Class Scholorship.
And so much more.
I see Abby grin at me from below the stage.
Ha, beat ya Maddie. :)
