Sensational (Jake Webber)

Part 1

Ella's POV

"Mom I love you but I need to try and make something of myself. That's where I am most likely to make it."
"But you may get hurt living out there! There are a lot of bad people out there El." She said worriedly.
"I promise I'll call twice a day, and I've saved up for a better apartment." I said reassuring her.
"Okay just promise you will be extra careful. I love you Elly."
"I love you too momma."

*************************************************

It's been a couple of months now since I've lived in L.A. I have finally started to get a hang of things. I don't have the best apartment but it keeps a roof over my head and not the best vehicle but it gets me from point A to point B.

I found a dance class I now attend. It's only about $20 a month so I do that while I work at hobby lobby during the day and the class is in the evening. My family lives in Kansas so I sadly can't visit that much but I call every day like I had promised.

I got done with my day of work and headed home to get changed into my dance attire. I'm not really a ballet kind of girl but more like a hip hop/ belly dance. So I threw on my adidas pants, a crop top, grab my sneakers and a ponytail and I'm out the door.

When I arrive at dance academy I quickly warm up and stretch before taking the floor with the other dancers. It's a fairly big class because it's in the evening and most of us work during the day. I see a new girl toward the back and go up to her.

"Hi! I'm Ella. I suppose you are new here since I haven't seen you before."
"Hi! My names Katrina but everyone calls me Kat. I am and it's very nerve wracking."
"It always is the first couple of times but most of the people here are really good people. You're really pretty and nice so I'm sure you'll fit right in girl."
"Thank you! Could you should me a few moves."
"I can help you with the first part of the dance we are learning" I say sympathetically.

"That's how you do it! You're doing great for your first time! Just make sure to stay loose and you'll get it down in no time! The real teachers here though so I'll let you talk to him haha."
"Thank you so much. You've been a huge help."
"Anytime." I say smiling. I think I may have met my first real friend in L.A.

"Would you like to go get some food sometime and you can tell me a little more about this whole dance thing?" She says.
"Of course! I've only lived in L.A. for a couple months so if ya don't mind could you tell me a little more about it?"
"Yes! Where are you from?"
"Arkansas." I say laughing. "And no, we don't date our cousins."
"I believe you." She says with her hands up laughing.
"How about Tuesday around 6? It's after I get off work."
"Sure! Works for me! See ya then!"
"Bye!" I said smiling. Maybe L.A. will turn out good after all.
