Madison - 13 January 2019
I was staring at my phone. A lot of the teens around me were, probably playing fortnite, checking their social media, playing games or just surfing around the web, but not me and a thousand different teens around America.

I was one of the thousand dancers that were waiting to see who Amelia Martin, a famous dancer picked to be on her reality show. ABC news we're about to announce it at 1pm. It was 5 to, we were so nervous.

The reality show is going to be shot here in Chicago instead of LA like dance moms because of the traffic.

2 minutes now. I climbed on my bed and tried to relax (didn't work).

"5! 4! 3! 2! 1!" A voice said from my phone. I urgently looked down at my phone.

"Hi everyone, my name is Martha and I'm about to announce the next stars of the next 'dance moms'." A woman with red hair said.

"Just hurry up and announce the team!" I whisper-yelled. "The first one is Brynn Rumfallo." A picture of Brynn showed up. I recognised her from dance moms. "Brightyn Brems." Martha said. A picture of a girl I recognised from Dancing With the Stars Juniors appeared in the screen. "Kaycee Rice." I recognised her from the world of dance. A nice picture appeared. I was really nervous now. Half way through and I haven't seen my name yet.
"Isabelle Vyver." A girl I dint recognized pooped up on the screen. "Nicole Laeno." I recognized her from boss cheer. "And last but definitely not least we have Madison Kennedy." Martha said.

My mouth formed a smile, a smile to big for my mouth. "MOM! I GOT IN!"

"These dancers are all so fabulous, and amazing. Stay tuned for more news about these dancers." Martha said signing off.

"Honey!" My mom rushed up the stairs into my room. She gave me a hug. "That's awesome!"

"Am I on it too?" My little sister Avery asked. She was 8.

I laughed. "Sadly no, but maybe someday." I gave her a hug and led her outside.

We headed down to the living room to eat afternoon tea.

"So when is filming going to start?" I asked my mom.

"I don't know yet. An email is going to come through soon." Mom replied. On cue, a ping came from my mum's phone.

She picked it up and read the email.

Dear Mr and Mrs Kennedy,
We are delighted to inform you that your daughter Madison Evelynn Kennedy has been chosen to star in a dance reality show called 'dancing on pointe'. Filming starts on the 1st of February but please come to 827 Fulton road on the 20th of January at 9am for prep and to start training.

Can you please send back a filled out copy of the form attached below by 15 of January.

Best wishes,
Amelia Martin

"We need to be there in a week." I informed.

"How about you go and get your stuff ready and I'll inform dad." Mom said.

I nodded and took a stick of cucumber with me. I raced up the stairs and had a look into my dance drawer in my wardrobe.

I picked out my black ballet leotard and convertible tights, leg warmers, pins, elastics and gel for my ballet bag. I also put a new pair of pointe shoes in, toe pads, ballet slippers, and stuff to break my pointe shoes in.

For all the other dance styles I had a sports bra and dance shorts. I put the shoes in different bags and placed them all in one big duffel bag.

For extra I bought a casual outfit, a pair of leggings, deodorant, hair brush, hair spray, hair gel and my phone charger.

I put the duffel bag in my closet and dug up the pair of pointe shoes I was currently using. It was worn and it didn't look new but it still worked so I got my extra pair of toe pads which were gel and dug up some convertible ballet socks.

I put everything on and strapped my shoes on before going into my dance room which was an empty room with smooth wood floor which was supposed to be a lounge. There was a big mirror in place on an empty wall so it looked like a dance studio.

I played my ballet playlist on Spotify and slowly rise up to pointe. I did a double pirouette then spinning into fouettés, on my last one I lifted my leg up into a leg hold and stopped spinning. I stood there for a moment with my leg up high before twisting my leg into a high arabesque. I gently lowered myself down. And when the music started to be more faster my dancing turned out to be jumps and leaps, turns and steps.

The music stopped and I smiled. Dancing always made me feel better, and this time, it washes my nerves about the show away.

Now it was bed time, school had already started so I needed to go to bed by 10pm. But first I got my mom to get a picture of me to post.
