I walk into the room and awkwardly greet the people behind the table.
"Hi, I'm Jordan White, I'm 15, and I had no clue I was doing this audition."
"Hi Jordan, I'm Mr. Spence, and this is Mrs.Vog. Whenever you are ready please read your monologue."
I take a deep breath and start reciting my go-to monologue.
"My sister, Veronica, and I did this double act and my husband, Charlie, traveled around with us. Now for the last number in our act, we did these 20 acrobatic tricks in a row, one, two, three, four, five...splits, spread eagles, flip flops, back flips, one right after the other. Well, this one night we were in Cicero, the three of us, sittin' up in a hotel room, boozin' and havin' a few laughs and we ran out of ice, so I went out to get some. I come back, open the door and there's Veronica and Charlie doing Number Seventeen--the spread eagle. Well, I was in such a state of shock, I completely blacked out. I can't remember a thing. It wasn't until later, when I was washing the blood off my hands I even knew they were dead."
"Wow, thank you. Now if you could perform two dance routines in different styles."
"I hadn't planned one so I will perform the routine that had me win 1st place at nationals, and one that I am currently working on."
I grab my phone and plug it into the speaker. The familiar notes of Werquin' gurl start playing and I move.
(pretend that jordan is doing this dance.)
Once I finish dancing, I bow and then I change the song, and get into position.
(pretend jordan is doing this too)
I finish dancing and I leave the room. Cam walks into the room and begins his audition. When he finishes, we thank the lady behind the desk, and leave the place. I grab Cam's hand and start jogging down the street.
"Where are you dragging me?" he asks slightly confused.
"We are going to Mrs. Atanabi's."
"Why?"
"You just dragged me to an audition, I'm relieving stress the only way I know how. Dance." I snap back sharply.
We walk the three blocks, to the studio in silence, neither one of us talks. We step down the stairs and into the bright building. Natalie, Mrs. Atanabi's granddaughter, greets us.
"Hey Jordan! You haven't come in here in like 2 weeks! Who's this?"
"This is Cameron Colley, and I've come in for lessons, while you were at school! I'm glad you're back helping here! Do you think Mrs. Atanabi would let me use the grey room?"
'Yeah! Of course! You're her favourite! Well besides Alex and me!" She says with a laugh, "Just make sure there's no classes going on in there."
"Thanks Nat! Just remember you can always text me!" I smile at the girl behind the desk as we walk down the hall.
"Who was that?" Cam asks tentatively.
"That was Natalie Silver, she's Mrs. Atanabi's granddaughter. We've kind of grown up together because I started dance when I was 2. She says I'm Mrs. Atanabi's favourite because I was one of her first students. She's like a 2nd grandmother to me. Anyway here's the grey room."
I open the door and find nobody in it. I place my bag on the ground, and grab my leo and shorts out of it. I change in the bathroom and then put my lyrical shoes on. 6/10 comes on and I move with the beat, choreographing the routine in my head as I go. When I finish dancing Cam stares at me, a look of awe on his face.
"I know you are mad at me, but will you teach me how to dance?"
