behind the smile

The one

Isabellas's P.O.V

so right now the boys and I are getting ready for a dance that we have been working on, it's this Spanish/ballet infusion, pretty epic if you ask me. as Sasha and I are getting ready Beckett comes up to us, "So Ballerina, don't start crying when all the boys dance circles around you" he laughs. I was about to say something but Sasha beats me to it, "Hey watch your mouth buddy, Isabella  is a better dancer than you will ever be" Sasha says, "Thanks Sash" I say. We get in position and the dance starts. once we finished everyone clapped and Miss Hellswheel clapped but cut it off with this, "Beckett, where was your spot during the tour, i need to see focus, just like Miss Radcliffe",I was about to thank Miss Hellswheel until a familiar voice cut me off. "I disagree with that, i think her turns could have been tighter and her ariels could have been executed a lot nicer than what I saw. and don't even get me started on those feet." was voiced by none other than my mother.yup, you heard me, my mother. I take off my red waistband, ready to walk right out of the class. what was she doing here! this was the one place that I could escape from her and all of a sudden she waltzes in here as if she owns the place. 

I'm about to walk out, until I see Sasha looking annoyed, and I realise that I have to be there for my friends. I walk up to sash and loop our arms together, I give him a small smile, which he returns politely and we walk back over to Vee and Cee. "Way to take those bulls by the horns guys" Jenna says, with her hands up waiting for a high five, Sasha walks straight past her, "Guess I was a 10 out of 10" he says, I give Jenna a hug and join the group.I know its hard for her especially when she came out to everyone on TMK. they were really starting to become close before the whole disaster so it really hurts her when he ignores her. "Yeah you guys were great, and Izzy don't listen to Ms Rockwell, you were perfect" Vee says , "No, no, she is right" Like always , "But on your last jump Sasha you got insane height" I commented, "Well, i was pretty great wasn't I" He says.

 "Dancers" Miss Heelswheel calls, we all form a circle around her and my mother, if she even is anymore. "Ive decided to mentor 2 students, one male and one female to compete in a duet at the camdeus, the importance of this dance is an opportunity, it can not be understated" she pauses I look at Sasha and then at Beckett, there the top competition at the moment for the boys and Carly is definitely going to get it, she's one of the best dancers I know. "The pair I have decided to coach are, Carly and Sasha" Everyone claps, "Or Carly and Beckett" The look on Carly's face went from yay to nay in a matter of seconds. "Or I will have , either Isabella and Beckett or Isabella and Sasha" 

I was about to decline, I couldn't do that Carly, she deserved it. way more than I did. but my mother was already doing that for me, "Miss Heelswheel as much as I admire your decision I think that i would advise you against putting Beckett with Isabella and put Isabella and another dancer together" Says my mother, "Very well there will be 2 duets with calypso and Fredrick" Miss Heelswheel announced. I felt angered, she has not right to tell me who I can and can't dance with. "Miss Heelswheel, you are always telling us, in order to be a successful dancer, you must have our own opinion, well, I think I should have the chance to dance with Beckett, it seems only fair that Carly and I dance with the same partners" I said, i saw my mother, she looked agitated and annoyed that I was going against her orders. 

it made me feel a sense of pride and achievement. "Very well then, im glad you are taking my lessons and putting them to good use  Isabella. Mister Roy and Mister Bradstreet you will both get studio time with Miss Cato and Miss Radcliffe, be ready to preform for me at the end of the day, right, everyone to the corner finishing with grande de legro" she says, Beckett turns to look at Carly, "Just can't get enough of me, huh" well he's seems like a real charmer. Carly glares at him then turns to Sasha, "You need to win this, if I have to spend one more minute with that guy i will literally claw my eyes out" "No pressure" Vee adds, "He's not that bad if you actually took the time to talk to him, Maybe, he's just misunderstood" I say, They ignore my comment and continue "No problem, Prince charming and Cinderella will be reunited once more" "Really you just have to use that phrase" I ask Sasha.
