I had to wake up rather early today because I had a flight to Orlando because I had dance Nationals. I was going with Tessa, Erika and Megan because Tessa was also competing and the other two were coming to support. We were all up and out the door before Jake had the chance to prank us.
The flight was one of those normal flights and we landed in sunny Orlando. We checked in to our hotel and unpacked what we wanted unpacked. We changed into more dinner attire so we could go and get something to eat.

We decided on something easy so we could get back and go to bed.
After eating dinner we all vlogged a little bit and called it a night.
The Next Morning
I was awaken by someones arms around me. "Tessa get off of me" I groan still with my eyes closed. But she didnt move. "Tessa get your lazy ass off of me" I say again. "Its not Tessa, Kaine" A guys voice said but it only belonged to one person and it was Ivan. "Ivan what the hell are you doing here" I say bolting up and giving him a hug. "Did you honestly think I would miss my girlfriends dance competition" He says raising his eyebrows. "And all of Team10 came too" he says getting off of me and leaving the room.
I smiled that all my friends came to support Tessa and I. I got up and changed into my dance costume and got makeup.

It took me about 30 minutes to get ready. We all got breakfast and headed to the auditorium where the competition was being held at. Tessa got with her team that she was competing with and I got with my hometown team. I was the only one doing a solo from my team and it was in the Senior category which is one of the hardest categories.
I stretched and ran through my routine a couple times before heading out to the wings of the stage. I had all eyes on me. Team10, the judges, my dance team and my parents from above. I took deep breaths before the announcer called my name.
I walked on the stage trying to not let the bright stage lights blind me. I took my position and waited for the music to play.
I picked this song because it tells the story of where I am now and I really enjoy my life the way it is. It was all going really well before my music cuts off. That didn't stop me from continuing to dance. The crowd went wild that I kept dancing. Once my solo had finished I got a standing ovation. It was one of the best feelings I have ever had.
A couple of hours after competing it was Awards time. I was confident with whatever place I get. They called multiple other categories before calling the Senior solo one. I got more and more nervous as they kept naming the places.
Top 3 here we go, "In 3rd Kacy Gregor, In 2nd Christina Hermann and Your National Title Winner for The Senior Category is Kaine Ruzek" The announcer says and I was astonished I actually won. I received a bouquet of Flowers, a Crown and a huge trophy. The trophy is so big that I have to get it shipped to Los Angeles. All of Team10 got up on their feet and went wild.
After awards Tessa and I joined up with the squad and they all gave us flowers and hugs. We all decided to go out to dinner. I was still in my costume and full dance makeup but who cares. I threw on my dance jacket and got into the rented car. I sat next to Ivan, its kind of obvious why.
After eating and getting major looks from people we went back to the hotel. I took a shower and changed into my pajamas. I made my way into my bed. I just sat there for 10 minutes not being able to fall asleep. So I got up and made my way down to Ivan and Emilio's room. I slightly knocked on the door until the very familiar Ivan face appeared. "I cant sleep" I said in a pouty way. "Aw baby come here" He says opening up his arms for a hug. I took his embrace and we both went over to his bed. I snuggled up to his side and fell asleep almost instantly
