Rileys POV:
We're about to go onstage and Im so nervouse. James comes over to me.
'Yo'
'Hey'
'You okay?'
'Yeah. Im just really nervous'
'Why? I told you youd be fine'
'I know. Its just I havent danced in a competition in so long. Ive kinnda forgotten how it feels'
'All I can say to you is that once you get out there, youll be fine. The adrenilon will just start pumping through you and with the energy of the crowd and everything, youll do great'
'Thank you'
I kiss him.
'Allright guyes. Gather around' Kate says.
'Now you know how this works. You dance the same routeen till the semi finals. If you win that you go onto the finals and dance your second routeen. So this dance has to count if we want to make it to the semis. I know you all well and I know you can dance. So hands in. On three. One. Two. Three!'
'THE NEXT STEP!'
We run onstage to start.
We're in the middle of the dance and its going great. I feel amazing. But something doesnt seem right. I seem to be struggling. Its like I dont know the moves. Suddenly I stumbles and I know its not good. We finish the dance and wait for the results.
'The next step scores 84 points causing them to be out of the compstition'
We all go back stage. I sit down and everyone gathers around me. Emily kneels infront if me.
'Its my fault! We just lost because of me! We just lost!'
'Ri. Its not your fault. These things happen'
'But we were so close! All of this hard work for nothing! Because I messed up!'
'Riley you cant do this to youself. You just cant'
'What are you guyes so worried about?' James asks.
'James! Seriously! This is not the time!' Kate says.
He smile.
'Cause am...last time I checked we still have a chance in getting the wildcard spot'
We all look at him.
'You know what James? Thats the smartest thing Ive heard you say all year!' Stephanie smiles.
'Im sorry guyes' I say again.
'Riley! Stop!'
James looks at me.
'I think you need a hug' he smiles.
I nod and stands up and hug him.
'Awww! Jiley are so cute!' Michelle says.
We laugh.
We're called back on stage to see if we got the wild card spot or not.
'The wild card spot goes to...The next step!'
We all cheer.
We got it! We got the wild card spot!
Next up is the semi finals!
