CONCEITED

chapter 3

“How you think you did?”Ro asked while drinking from her water bottle. I laughed to myself before answering.

“I know I did amazingly compared to the other girls, I am definitely getting captain” I said and flipped my hair back. Ro was gonna reply but got interrupted by the coach calling us over.

“I have narrowed the list down to three girls”,she said looking at all of us intensely,“those three are Kelery White, Carmen Price and Aurora Dickerson.”

I smiled to myself because I already knew I would make it.

“Next audition is going to be a freestyle, I want my captains to be creative and always be ready for the unexpected” she continued before sitting in her seat again.

Kelery was up first and she did what she does best, she did splits, back flips front flips, and a few cartwheels,. I have to give her, her props, but that's the only thing she can do. I was next up and I started of with a little bit of contemporary ballet. I then threw in a aerial and finished with a split. Looking around at the girls expressions, I knew I had this in the bag. Ro got up next and to be honest, I wasn't really interested in her performance. She started of softly before going hard, she started bucking her ass off and showing her flexibility. I have to admit out of all the girls on the team, Ro was the most flexible. She finished her dance floor and we gathered in front of the coach.

“I think we have a clear winner for the position of captain” she said with a bright smile on her face all the girls came and stood in front of the coach with excitement on their faces.

“And the captain and co captain are…… gonna be revealed tomorrow”, she said while clapping her hands,“Go get dressed and I'll see you guys tomorrow.”

She got up and walked out the gym. We sat there groaning about what happened. I huffed before going back in the locker room and changed my clothes. I left the building and saw my mother's car, I said bye to my girls and hopped inside.

“How was practice baby, did you make captain?” my mother, Natasha asked. I shook my head no and told her what happened. “She probably want to make sure she's gonna pick the right person to be your co captain” she said. I looked over at my mother and studied her face. I looked just like her. We both have piercing green eyes, beautiful silky hair, and a smooth complexion. My mother is polish and South African and my dad is African American and European. I got that good blood running through my veins. We stopped by Cali’s vegan bistro before going home. We pulled up to our five bedroom, four bathrooms,three car garage, two story home.  Our house had a in ground pool and a beautiful garden. My father as a financial asvisor for our local ba k and my mothe was a nouse wife. We lived in a gated community, not the nasty ass ghetto where most of the kids at my school lived. I got out the car and made my way up to my room. Getting there, I saw the maid cleaning my bathroom. I rolled my eyes at her before laying on my bed and taking out my phone. I called Mercy and we went back and forth about the tryouts, she told me that the coach made a huge mistake about not picking her. I rolled my eyes as I listened to her ramble on.

“Look, my mother is calling me to wash the dishes, I will talk to you later.” I hung up without hearing her reply. I got up and took a bubble bath in my jacuzzi hot tub in my private bathroom. After soaking for 10 minutes of got out, lotioned and went to bed.
