I bolted. Sprinting down the narrow hallway of my dear orphanage, Mary Jane's School For Orphaned Children, I turned a sharp corner and hurried down a long flight of stairs. My friend, Luca, close behind me. The school's supervisor chased after us. Breathing heavily, clutching my battered suitcase to my chest, I whipped my head around, searching for a yellow taxi under the dim streetlights. Seeing it, I hurried inside with Luca, and the driver pulled away.

My name is Catherine Grant. My dream has been to dance ever since my mother passed away from cancer, and my father shot himself next to the body of his dead wife. I saw a flyer for the iDance Academy boarding school. I wrote them a letter saying I was an orphan, received a scholarship, and was now being whisked away to the bus stop where their coach bus would take me to the school. Luca had done the same. We both had dreams of joining a famous dance company and dancing there until we decided to teach.
