Practices have been going great, I am working and my grades are decent. The competition is this weekend and so is the Winter Formal. I'm out of my boot and my routine is close to perfection.
Everyone is freaking out over dates and king and queen, while I'm working hard so I can buy the perfect dress for my last Winter Formal. I've worked so hard, with dad being gone, Daryl always home and mom not caring at all about me.
***Friday***
I have a history test today that I am completely lost on. I asked Nick to meet me before school to help me study.
"Hey Belle."
I look up and for the first time he looks really nervous. Why is he nervous about helping me study?
"Oh, hey Nick."
"Listen, I know things are pretty weird ever since we kissed and uh... you know Sean and Jenna are together and Jenna is your best friend and Sean is your brother..."
He keeps talking faster, and about the most random things.
"Nick, get to the point."
"Okay well um, I'm wondering if you would like to go to the Winter Formal with me. You don't have to say yes, I mean we could go as friends if that's what you would rather prefer."
So this is why he was so nervous. I wonder how Sean would feel about this. I mean I could always turn the tables on him and bring up him and Jenna. Nick looks like he's dying to know my answer. Should I make him wait? Well he does seem pretty nervous already.
"Yes, Nick I would love to go as your date."
"You have no idea as to how nervous I was."
He wraps me in one of his bear hugs and we study for the next hour.
I ended up getting an A on the test, which leaves my grade at a B+. I gotta say, that's pretty good for a girl who can't remember anything useful.
The competition is right after school and the dance is tonight. Jenna and Brittany took me out to get my dress, it's navy with sequins on the top half and flows down to my mid-thigh. I love it so much, I worked so many late shifts to get this dress and a little extra for my hair and nails and my college fund. My mom could care less about this, I doubt she'll be home. I hope Daryl won't be home.
I make my way to the locker room and change into my comp leo. I watch everyone's routines, Brittany gets a solid 10 and so does Jenna.
"Bella Winfrey, floor routine."
I make my way and take a couple deep breaths, remembering what dad told me.
"Fall in love with your performance and they will fall in love with you."
It's time and it seems scary that in a matter of minutes my fate will be chosen.
