Forbidden Love

Confidence

Chapter 3

(Gino's POV)

I had requested a solo for the competition on Saturday, because I was positive that Maddie had one. How was I so sure? Whenever a studio calls a competition director about a specific studio, the director also calls up that studio to let them know that someone has called about them. Abby must have known that my team is coming by now. And she knows that my team has great boys as well as girls, including me. Abby is only confident in Madddie to beat a boy, so she will have Maddie do a solo against, well, me.

My solo is called Found. I am silently dedicating this solo to Maddie because I want her to know that I want to 'find' her. Of course, I can't really do it, because there will be a lot of tension and the situation will be very awkward. My parents, on th other hand, want me to be with this girl at my studio, Alyssa, however she and I both know, we are going to be 'just friends'. 

I am putting a lot more emotion into this solo than I usually do. I guess it's because I really feel want the song is portraying. I invest my own emotions into every turn, every kick, every movement of my hands.

How?

I'm telling the story of the song to Maddie.

My friends from my studio, my choreographer, our parents, and I reacch the airport, ready to board our flight. I smile when I see 'Pittsburgh' on the screen at the airport. I smile when I see a girl dancing to her iPod. I smile when I see another group of girls, obviously going to a competition of some sort. Evrything here reminds me of Maddie.

Ok. I admit it. I've had a little crush on her. But I can't even be sure. I mean, I havent talked to her, I haven't seen her lately except on T.V., and she's probably forgotten about me. All we've done to interact so far is that 'kiss' I gave her on Valentines Day two years ago. We were 10 and 11. Now, we're 12 and 13. We're not so naive. 

What if she has another crush. She probably doesn't even know me.

I need to tell her everything. Not now, but soon.
