Chapter One ~A New Life Begins~

Some people in life are destined for greatness and some are born with greatness in them but what about those who don't know what they were destined to be, do they have greatness within them, or must they choose their own path for greatness?

See for me, I had never given much thought as to what I'll be later in life or what id like to do, really, just winging it, taking each step one by one without trying to stack it.

Right now, I should have my shit together, cleaning up my act and start finding my path of greatness for my future self, but I honestly don't know where to start.

Being a senior the teachers try to encourage us and help us to achieve our goals. That's hard for me because I have no goals and no dreams, I think they flew out the door when I was 16 years old. I wanted to go pro with ballroom dancing. For years I had been dancing and competing and it was the only thing I was great at. I guess you could say I was born for that greatness, but that all changed on the Junior State championships.

My mother was away on a work trip like always, so she couldn't make it, but my father always came to my events no matter if he had work or not, family comes first he always says. This competition was a big one, it was the finals. The pressure was on, but I was determined to win even if I fall I'll get back up again and keep going.

To top it off my dance partner was one of my best friends. Talen The Talent, that's what everyone calls him. Talen was very talented. He's the leader of the drama and poetry club and writes the scripts for the schools plays and he even act's time to time. And not mention he's a total ladies man.

I honestly don't know how he does it, but I guess girls love that he can dance and can schmooze his way into and out of situations and he's easy on the eye's. soft hazel brown eyes and light brown hair that was short and faded on the sides but has about 2" of hair at the top for his styling techniques he does and cute little nose freckles. His height was  6.1" tall and skinny and don't get me started with him and his skinny leg ripped jeans, I swear he has about 20 pairs of ripped jeans and white deep V T-shirts. His style is chilled with a little of edge to match his personality, that boy has it all figured out. When he puts on his suit and tie is the only time I trust him with anything, only because when we dance together, both take it seriously, but not too much where we're tearing each other's throats off because someone fucked the routine. Him and I were like a power couple just without being an actual couple.

Talen and I have done ballroom since we were about 5 years old and got partnered together, from that day on I never wanted to change partners, him and I have a tight bond and an understanding of one another. It was 10 years on that day since we started dancing with one another and we made it to finals. and to top it off it was my birthday, The sweet 16th.

That night Talen and I got our outfits ready for our turn. Talen wore a black suit and a white button up shirt underneath and a Cherry red tie to match my dress.

Talen's mum Helen made our outfits for each showcase, she loved designing clothes its what she does for a living with her little Clothing boutique in town. My dress she made me was a sexy silky cherry red and had fake diamonds running down the top of my chest where she created a deep V look exposing my cleavage.

The dress was short at the front and long at the back with a more layers at the back looking like a tail. It sparkled and was simply beautiful just like the rest she had made me over the years. It was Talen's and I were up. It was our time to shine.

For weeks on end, him and I practiced a shit loads to make sure we were in sync. That night we did the Tango kept is classy for the first minute before I had mixed the song for a more Seductive Tango. Our dance teacher had no idea that we had gone and done our own thing, but Talen and I thought it was about time this crowd could use some excitement.
