The Dancer

                                                          Chapter 1

       "Man!!!" I say as I look at the scale and noticed that I've gained 5 pounds this week. I need to make weigh in and with a weight like this, in our studio, my weights not gonna cut it. 110 pounds of pathetic." I think to myself.

        After my weekly weigh in I go to school I go to Medindel High School I'm a Sophmore. As always my life at school seems to be perfect! My boyfriend, my friends and, my cheer family are the only things that make me happy.

          My name is Melissa Platin, I'm a dancer and a cheerleader. I dance at Tilt Connection Dance studio, I dance ballet. I cheer varsity at my school, I'm not a flyer I'm a base and new flyer tryouts are this week!! I've never been a flyer and I HAVE TO make weight so I have to lose 10 pounds.

          As I finally make it to dance practice we practice for our 26th Annual Spring Dance Recital. We are dancing the annual Black Swan (which we do every year!!), 25 Seconds in Love, and Ohh La La. 25 Seconds In Love is my favorite!

  "Meli!!" Christy my best friend calls from across the room.

             "Yes!" I call back.

  "Come here the costumes are here!!" she says back.

            I go over to see my new dance costumes!!  I have a red one with sparkles for 25 Seconds In Love, a red, black and white striped on for Ohh La La, and a white and silver feathered one for The Black Swan. After I try everything on I went right back to practicing my leaps for 25 Seconds In Love. They are very hard because there connected to five turns.  I look at my phone and see that its 7:15pm and I have to go to early meet cheer practice at 5:30am so I need to go home and get rest.

                                                              Chapter 2

                        Its four in the morning and I have early morning practice for cheer. I'm in pain from dance practice yesterday at 4pm my arms are so sore, my mom said the soreness should've been over by  last night but of course, life stretches my pain out!

                        I get up and go to the shower, my hair feels gross so I use my Bed Head shampoo that smells like roses, the type you get for a wedding in the summer. The shower calms my muscles causing the pain to go away at last. After I get out I wash my face with my X-Out face wash! After I'm done I comb out my hair and use my blow dryer to make it wavy. I need to pick out a bow so I go over to my bow drawer  and pick out a pretty pink bow with sparkles! I quickly put on my Nike Pros  and a sports bra (both pink as well) and put a black and pink shirt over top! I neatly put  my hair up in a high pony and place my bow directly centered! In perfection is the best way to live!
