A New Turn

Prologue

My high school life is over. I'm so glad it's over. The longest 6 years of my life. Yet I did pass with flying colours which was awesome. But I had no plan for the future. I had absolutely no idea what I wanted to do with my life. All I had was my dancing.

Dancing was everything to me. I'd been dancing for 8 years and it was all I did. My parents would always catch me in my room dancing wildly when I was meant to be cleaning up, I couldn't help it. I didn't think I was that good but many people told me I was gifted. I did pretty well in exams, I usually had the best score in the class, but I didn't like to think I was good. I just wanted to dance. It freed my mind, heart and soul.

Flashback...

My teacher had asked me to consider auditioning for Pulse, the most prestigious dancing school in the world. I had no shot, considering they only let about 5 people in from around the globe and they had about 500 people auditioning. But I gave it a shot anyway.

I planned my routine for weeks. A mix between jazz and contemporary I guess. I spent hours and hours going over and over it. I didn't want to admit it but I wanted to get it more than anything. I needed to dance for the rest of my life, and the only way of getting anywhere was starting here.

Audition day arrived and I was sweating buckets. The butterflies flew around in my stomach like a little girl was trying to grab them all and they were flying rapidly away. I felt like I was about throw up before I heard a call. "Caitlin Smith, we're ready for you."

I felt like I was about to pass out as I strode to man. He led me into a long straight corridor with tens of doors lining it. We walked for what seemed liked hours before he opened a white door. I peered in to see a glowing young lady, handsome man and a peachy old woman staring at me in my black leotard and stiff hair bun. I walked in nervously, dropped my bag at the side of the room and strolled into the centre of the floor. I looked in the mirror behind the judges and gave myself a promising look before I finally spoke 'Caitlin Smith, 18'.

I pressed my eyes shut before the beat started. It felt amazing. I danced around the room with grace. My arms and legs extended fully with every movement. I landed swiftly just as the music stopped stopped.

The judges kept writing and writing. I stood up and waited quietly while they made some quiet whispers. The young lady lifted her head and spoke one sentence, 'We'll let you know'.

End of Flashback...

I was still waiting. The audition was 6 months ago. Why would you ever let people wait this long? The day after school ended, I still hadn't heard and I twiddled my fingers with thought. What if this all didn't work out? What would I do with my life? And suddenly, almost like it was on queue, Mum walked into the room. She was holding a letter. I instantly saw the Pulse logo. Oh shit, this was it. Mum just handed me the letter without saying a word. I ran into my room, wanting to be alone when I opened it. I grabbed the letter opener off my desk and carefully placed it onto the envelope. I pulled the letter out and took a deep breath before skimming through each word on that letter. I shut my eyes and took a deep breath again before walking out of my room. Mum stood there anxiously with a nervous look on her face. She spoke one word "Well?". There was a silence for a few moments before I opened my mouth.

"I got in."
