You had to be there

Pace Fall/addition day

"BBBEEEEEPP" my alarm goes off and I quickly slam my fist down on the snooze button. I hop right out of bed and make it. It's 5:30 AM and I know that's pretty early but by the time I get ready and leave for the studio I'll have some time to warm up.

I quickly do some stretching and practice my splits. I'm not doing this just because of the addition, but because it's part of my everyday morning routine. After I'm done I swap my orange pj pants and blue t-shirt for a pair of black spandex shorts and a white oversized t-shirt that's says 'walk in the park'. I put a pair of soft roots jogging paints and a blue lulu lemon sweater over my dance outfit till I get to the studio. I put an extra change of clothes in my duffle bag, as well as my hair brush, shampoo, shower gel,ear buds, towel,some extra makeup, and my black worm jazz shoes. I walk over to the full length mirror standing against the wall in my room then brush through my long light brown hair and french braid it. I then add a pink underarmer head band. I apply some conceler and nude eye shadow for makeup because if I had mascara on it would smear from all the sweat.

I grab my bag and my phone and go to the kitchen to get some breakfast.

I drop my bag on the couch and walk over the cabinet an take out a box of Cheerios, then walk over to the fridge to get some milk. But instead of the milk I grab a small bowl covered in so much plastic rap I can't even tell what's inside, but a piece of paper stuck to it tells me.

It reads.....

Ave don't eat any cereal! It's not healthy. So I prepared this fruit bowl for you. There is a cup of yogurt in the fridge as well...eat it! Wake me up when it's time to leave.

-Cam

I smile at the sight of the note and the bowl of fruit. I put away the cereal and eat my fruit. I know Camron wants be to eat the yogurt but I don't want to eat to much before I dance.

After I'm done eating I wash the dishes. It's 6:18 but I want to be the first person there so everyone knows if I make the team I'll always be on time. I quietly speed walk over to Cams room and open the door. Normally boys rooms reek from the stench of rotting food and old socks, but Carmon's smells like 'pumpkin caramel latte' literally. He lights a candle all the time.

I creep over to to his bed and jump on him. I start laughing I know that woke him up. Camron sits up and rubs his eyes, as soon as he sees me her glares with a smile. "GOOD MORNING" I scream waving my arms in the air. "Morning" Cam smiles but his eyes are almost shut, " come on you have to come with me to the addition today and we leave in 10 so hurry!" I'm jumping on Camrons bed and screaming with excitement. "Okay, okay, I'll be ready. What time is it?""6:30AM" I answer with a smile. "What time do you have to be there?" "10:00" I smirk. "WHAT?!?!?" " I need to warm up" I scream and run out of his room and into the living room. I play on my phone for a while. Cam finally comes out of is room. He's wearing dark blue jeans and a yellow t-shirt. "You ready?" he asks me as her puts on his jacket. "Ready as I'll ever be" I snatch my bag from the couch and we walk to the door.

Before we leave I notice a piece of paper stuck to the door, before I can do anything Cam takes the paper and reads it. Anger enters his eyes. "What is it?" I ask hoping nothing to drastic happened. "Mom and dad flew out to Toronto this morning for a really bad case. They say they'll be gone for about a month. Apparently it's pretty bad." He rips the note in two and tosses it to the ground. "Oh" is all I can manage to get out of my mouth. "They also wished you good luck today" " that's nice". We leave the apartment, catch a taxi ,and drive off to the studio.

When Camron and I get to the studio there's a table set up where I have to register. When I'm done the girls at the table tell me I can warm up in the studio till we start.

They also said Cam can watch. When walk through a long hall and find the dance floor at the end. It's huge. Camron walks to the side and starts to play on his phone, probably till my addition.

I walk over to Camron and place my bag beside him,I take off my sweat paints and sweater and put on my jazz shoes. After I'm all ready I sprint over to the speaker and plug in my phone. I play 'everything has changed' by Taylor Swift. I start to let my heart dance, then my feet follow.

The song ends and I turn around and see Camron smiling like in idiot. He's talking to someone. A girl, she looks to be my age about 14, her long hair is pulled up into a really high pony tail. Her makeup is very natural but she's got a cat eye painted on her lids with silver eye liner. She's wearing black spandex shorts (just like I am) as well as a black muscle tee that says 'West park dance' on it, she's also wearing a purple bandeau. I look down at her feet and see she's wearing worn jazz shoes, like me.

"Nice job sis" Camron smiles and hugs my sweaty body, "thanks".

I look at this girls smiling face and finally she introduces herself.

"Hi I'm Pace Fall nice to meet you" she offers me her hand and I shake it. "Nice to meet you" I say still shaking her hand.

"You where great I'm sue you'll make the team" " thank you. Are you trying out too?"

"No I'm just helping with the choreography ,and warm ups and stuff"

"Oh that's nice" I pause for a second not knowing what to say next. Finally I do. "So I see you are a West park dancer" I say as I motion towards her shirt. "Yeah I've been there for a while. Hey do you want me to help you warm up?"she says with a smile. "Yeah! That would be cool!"

So Pace and I warm up and eventually all the dancers are at the studio. Lots of competition.

When the coaches start calling names ,people preform their addition dance and eventually I'm up. I hug Camron and say "thanks" "for what?" He asks with a questioning look. "For the fruit bowl!" Cam smiles and I walk to the centre of the dance floor. Every eye on me.

Pace smiles and plays my music. And I danced. I danced like no one was watching.
