My dance bag slung over my shoulder, envelope in my hand, I push open the door to ALDC.
"Hi Jennette! Got the money?" Mellissa Ziegler asks me.
"Yes ma'am! It's all in here, the paper work, and the money." I say, handing her the envelope.
"Thank you! Have a nice practice!"
"Your welcome!" I say over my shoulder, putting my bag in my locker, then walking into the dance room.
"PAYNE! Get in here and start stretching now!!" Ms. Abby yells. Ahhh, the usual first practice back at ALDC, the normal yell when I'm late. Never forgotten....
"Sorry Ms. Abby, my brother had a-"
"I don't care drop and stretch!" She yells, cutting me off.
Nodding in response, I stretch quickly, but thoroughly, and walk over to Chloe. Although I'm older than all of them, they're all my friends.
"Did I miss anything?" I ask quickly.
"Nope, other than the yelling." She says giggling.
"Alright girls!" Abby yells. "We have been invited to a Starbound competition California!" She adds. Clapping and cheering, we are all extremely excited.
"Now, girls, we've been invited for being the overall group dance! In order to be invited next time or next year, we have to win overall again!" She says, pointing to each and every one of us.
"Jennette! You will be having a solo this week. Maddie and Chloe as well!" We smile at each other then look back at her.
"You have a trio too, the group dance will be called Diamonds, because that's what all the fans think you are." She says, emphasizing the word 'think'.
"The music is Diamonds by Rihanna, but don't think it's a hip hop routine, because it's not. We're going to start with the group, then the trio, then Jennette's solo, then Maddie's, then Chloe's. Ready?"
We stand there as she places us in our spots. Time flies by as she teaches us the dance moves. Running the dance all the way through, I have a main/side lead. "Point your toes! Straighten those legs! Strong!" She yells. Laying down on the ground slowly, as that's my last move, she says
"Okay girls! Go get water and practice that! I have to work on Jennette's solo." They all walk out the door, and all you can here is the white fan in the corner.
"Ready Ms. Payne?" She asks, looking down at me with those piercing eyes. Nodding, I get up and walk to my spot that she told me stand at.
I know the girls have told me to try to talk to Ms. Abby, or show her a dance that I choreographed, but I'm worried she'll say it's bad. Slipping my phone out of my bag, I run back into the dance room and plug it into the speaker. Since she's gone, I figure I have some time to practice my own dance. I hit the play button on call me maybe, and begin my dance. A more softer version of dance contemporary/lyrical I guess you could call it. Each move flowing into the next. Leaping over near the door, it flies open, and Abby stands there, appalled.
"Ms. Abby I-"
"No! I'm sick and tired of you being late and just not caring! Get out of my studio! Now!" She yells. Feeling the tears slide down my face, I grab my phone, grab my bag from my former locker, and run out door.
Sitting in my room, looking around at all my trophies, and photos, and plaques, I take out my phone and call Liam's limo. Packing my dance bag, and some clothes and other things, it pulls up into my yard. Looking at videos of me dancing on my phone, the driver announces:
"Ms. Payne, we've arrived."
"Thank you Dave." I say, grabbing my things and getting out. Walking into the aiport, I go through security, and finaly get on the airplane.
Staring down at my phone, listening to 'A Billion Hits' by Ross Lynch, I plan my way to get revenge on Abby. She lost me, and soon she'll want me back. Soon...but how? I have no idea. About 20 minutes later the flight lady comes on p.a. and says "We'll be landing in a few minutes." Well! What a quick ride?!
