Music blasted through my ears as my body moved across the floor, every ounce of emotion being put into the moves. I have to show them that I can do this, that I'm strong and passionate enough about dancing. The music cut off and I looked to their faces. Thank you, that will be all. We will call you later this to tell you if you've been hired or not." The lady said, smiling at me. I smiled back and ran a hand through my hair, "Thank you." I said, grabbing my duffle bag off the floor and walking out of the dance studio.

Now all I can do is wait for a call saying I was part of the dance crew. I walked out of the building, but immeditely stumbled backwards, "Oh god, I'm so sorry! I really should have been watching where I was going!" The girl that ran into me said, holding on to my arm so I didn't fall backwards. "No, it's fine. No harm done." I smiled at her, letting out a small laugh.

"Isabel, I told you to wait for me!" Another girl ran behind her. I took in the appearance of both girls. The one that ran into me, Isabel, was about my height, if not taller, and had long wavy brown hair and dark brown eyes. The other girl had crazy, curly hair, and was way taller. I could tell just by looking at them, they were dancers. "Sorry, Dani, I should have listening, though because then I wouldn't have ran into ..." She trailed off. "Mahogony." I smiled at her. "Mahogony, I wouldn't have ran into Mahogony." Dani looked from Isabel to me and smiled, "Hi, I'm Danielle, but you can call me Dani. And that's Isabel. Did you just come from the audition?" Danielle asked, smiling at Isabel.

I nodded, "Yeah, I did. I don't know if I did well or not, but I'm hoping." Both girls nodded. "I'm sure you did great." Isabel said, smiling at me. "Are you two here for the audition, too?" Something inside of me felt a little self conscious, if they were. Danielle and Isabel smiled at each other, "Somthing like that, yeah. But we're going to be late if we don't leave now. It was so nice to meet you, Mahogony. Maybe we'll see each other soon!" Isabel said, pulling Danielle through the door as they both waved to me. I waved back, shaking my head and fixing the strap of my duffle bag on my shoulder.

Once back at my house, I pulled my keys out of the duffle and unlocked the door, taking off my black vans and shutting the door behind me. Once u set my duffle bag on the floor, I took my hairtye off my wrist and flipped my head to wrap my hair up into a messy bun.

I unlocked my phone and opened twitter, scrolling through my timeline getting bored quickly;

@DancerLife143; Today I tried out for something big, let's hope everything works out....

I sent the tweet to my not so many followers and shut off twitter, going into the kitchen and grabbing the container of strawberries and watermelon before going back to the living room and flipping on the tv. I flipped through the channels beofre stopping on the reruns of The Fosters, popping a strawberry into my mouth.

I moved around my house as my phone started to ring, causing me to climb over the couch, grabbing it off of the table. Without looking at the caller ID, I answered, "Hello?" "Hey bugaboo, how was the audition." I groaned, laying back on the couch. "Why did you have to call, you got my hopes up!" I complained, causing her to laugh. "What, you didn't want your favorite sister to call you? Come on, stop lying to yourself." I sighed, running my free hand over my face. "Ha ha, very funny. the audition went well, I'm waiting fo-" my phone started to beep and pulled it away to see an unknown number calling me. "Hey, swiss, I gotta go. I got another call, I'll call you later."
