Pink Shoes

Chapter 5

"Bye Parker," I gave my brother a bear hug.

"Don't go Mia! I'll miss you!" he squeezed me tighter.

"Yeah right. Be good," I ruffled his hair, the same goldeny brown mine.

"Bye dear," said my Nana.

"Bye Nana." I gave her a big hug. "I'll miss you."

"I'll miss you, too, dear." she said.

"We have to go, Mia! The flight to London leaves in an hour!" My mom shouted from the van.

"Coming!" I blew kisses to Parker and Nana. Then I dashed out the door.

"Bye mom," I said as I hugged her.

"Bye sweetie. Have so much fun at DAL. You are going to shine." she kissed my head.

"All passengers boarding flight 302 to London, please report to gate B45." Said a lady's voice over the speakers.

I turned to leave.

"Mommy!" I shouted as she was about to go down the escalator. She turned towards me. "I love you!"

Then I ran towards gate B45.

After a long 8 hour flight, I got off the plane. I stretched out my arms and legs and walked to the luggage pick up.

By the glass doors was a woman who was holding a sign. It read:

DANCE ACADEMY OF LONDON

WELCOMES

MIA BERNSTEIN

I approached the woman.

"Um, hi." I waved.

"And whom might you be?" She talked with a British accent.

"Mia."

She gave me a snooty look.

"Bernstein. Mia Bernstein." I punted to her sign.

"Oh! You!" She thrust her hand out, "Peggy Sharon, Miss Lancaster's assistant."

She said it as if I knew who this 'Miss Lancaster' was.

"That's great." I said.

"Well, we should be going to the car. Come along, now Mia." she walked out of the doors where a black SUV with a turquoise point shoe logo on it was waiting. I dragged my pink suitcase (don't worry, it had a 1D key chain on the zipper) through the parking lot. A big man in a suit loaded it in the back.

"This is Simon. Simon, say hi," Peggy gave him a death look.

"Hi," said Simon squeaked in the smallest possible voice for a man his size.

"Come, come," Said Peggy as Simon oped the back door for us to load in.

I was planning to ask Peggy some questions about the academy, but she was in her Bluetooth the whole ride.

After an hour of driving, we reached the school.

It was in the middle of a huge, grassy field. We had left the city miles ago.

A/N: I have never been to London before, so don't judge. DAL is supposed to be outside of London. Like, the British countryside if that's a thing. BACK TO THE STORY!

Trees and flowers surrounded the school. A soccer and football field were to the right of the building. There was even a swimming pool!

The academy itself was HUGE!
