*back to Ashe's PoV*
"Well, time for tryouts. Amelie, Angela!!! Let's go!" I shouted from the hallway.
"Coming Ashe!" They replied. Amelie was wearing a light blue two piece and Angela was wearing a black two piece, her hair pulled into a high ponytail with a few curls, the same with Amelie. I grabbed my skin tone heeled jazz shoes, and the other girls grabbed their shoes.
*time skip to when we get to the gym*
"Okay girls, this is how it's going to work. First, stretch on your own. Then line up and wait for further instruction," Ms. Zaryanova said.
"Yes ma'am," we said before stretching. After we were done stretching and just in our splits, we started talking.
"I swear to god I will kill Ariana if she keeps making Hana's life miserable......"
"Don't. You'll get expelled," Angela told me, switching to her middle splits from her right.
"What's another school getting expelled from?! I've already been to one and got out of there. So what's another one?!"
Ms. Zaryanova yelled at us to get up and in formation. "LISTEN UP! THIS IS DANCE! ANYONE WHO IS JUST AVERAGE IS GOING TO BE CUT IN AN INSTANT!"
"YES MA'AM!" We all replied.
"We are going to be focusing on mostly hip hop and jazz. Those are what people know best. We are going to occasionally do like lyrical and contemporary and very rarely, acrobatic. So everyone who can't do any of those, please, save yourself the embarrassment, and me the trouble, and leave now," Ms. Zaryanova said. Five girls left. There was me, Angela, Amelie, Ariana, Hana, and fourteen others I didn't recognize, including three guys. (for the record, I do NOT think that Zarya would teach dance, probably Widowmaker to be completely honest. But she's still a student here)
"Okay. So to start off, I'm going to have everyone do five eight counts of improv. Please do hip hop, and don't do any insane like turn combinations or anything, you'll need that for later," Ms. Zaryanova said. After that was done, Ariana and three others were cut. "Fallon, Elliana, Abigail (Abby Lee the sea monster herself), Ariana, you can go. Thank you," she said.
"Alright, give me your best turn combination you got," Ms. Zaryanova said. Amelie did fifteen pirouettes in pique, followed by ten pirouettes in coupe, int a left illusion. (Before y'all question me about the reality of that, go check out Miss Sophia Lucia being able to do FIFTY-FOUR TURNS WHEN SHE WAS LITERALLY NINE...) "Alright, good. Next," she said. I was up next. I took a deep breath, then started my turn combination. Triple leg catch turn, fifteen al a seconds, twenty fouette turns, eleven pique turns, and ten compass turns, all without bobbling on my turn. Angela did a significantly less amount of turns, with only a triple pirouette. And Hana did ten pique turns, then dropped into her middle splits. After the turn portion of the tryout, Angela and another girl was cut. "Payton, Angela, thank you, you can go. Alright, acro improv. Just do your best tricks. Let's see it," Ms. Zaryanova instructed. Amelie did a press handstand, into a front walkover, into a degage front aerial, and a side aerial. Hana simply just did a side aerial into an aerial walkover, then did a round off back tuck, followed by a tilt, the ended with a sashe straddle leap. My turn. Round off back layout, tour en l'edan side aerial, back valdez, and ended with a penche left split. After the acrobatic portion was over, one of the boys, and two other girls were cut. "Tyler, Brooke, Cadence, thank you, you can go. Okay, so we have Elisabeth, Amelie, Travis, Madison, Chloe, Liliana, Hana, Asia, Sophia, and Brady. Congratulations, you are on the team. Alright, we're having captain or co-captain tryouts now. Captains are the face of the group, get more leads in the group dances, more solos, and is in charge of the team when I am absent. On the downside, you will be expected to attend every practice, rehearsal, competition, assembly, and showcase. You also will have higher academic expectations, as well as having to perform near to perfect while dancing. But remember, everyone's replaceable, even the captains. With that in mind, does everyone still want to try out for Captain?" Ms. Zaryanova asked. Everyone nodded, wanting the title of captain. " We're going to do a dance battle to decide this. Madison, Travis, you're up." Madison smirked, then started her part.
(Pretend that the Maddie/Mackenzie part in the beginning didn't happen. Skip straight to Tyler/Travis, which is Madison and Travis. Next is Travis/Gianna, which is Travis and Liliana. Third is Travis/Haley, which is Travis/Hana. Fourth is Travis/Trinity, which is Travis and Chloe (ALDC Chloe aka Chloe L). Fifth is Trinity/Chloe (Chloe B), which is Chloe (L) and Asia. Sixth is Trinity/Kalani, which is Chloe (L) and Sophia. Seventh is Kalani/McKaylee, which is Sophia and Amelie. Eighth is McKaylee/Jojo, which is Amelie and Brady. Ninth and final is McKaylee/Ally, which is Amelie and Ashe. In the actual thing, Ally is victorious over McKaylee. But for the sake of this, I want Amelie and Ashe to be captains.)
"I can't decide. You know what, there's something called co-captains. You two, well done. Thank you everyone, you are now excused. Now, just a reminder, everyone is replaceable. So do not get cocky. You better be flawless on this team, or else you are going to be cut before you losers can blink. Practice is on Thursday, from 3 pm to 6:30 pm. Don't be late. Don't miss the practice. Also, uniforms are going to come in by next Friday, with black team jackets, and gold writing with our school name and your name on the back. This is not a permanent jacket, only for this season, or until you get kicked off. Okay, thank you everyone for trying out. I will see everyone on Thursday," Ms. Zaryanova said, dismissing us. Hana told us that she would see us in the morning, and ran back to her dorm.
"I told you I wouldn't let you be captain of both," Amelie said, smirking.
"Co-Captains is close enough for me. You actually put up a good fight, until you let me literally tell you off during that last move though."
"Yeah I guess."
"I wonder how Angela's faring."
"How's Hana?"
"I;m not worried about her. She's strong. I wonder how Hana's doing, I haven't talked to her as an actual friend in a while. Hang on, I'm going to text her," I said, pulling out my phone and opening my conversation with Hana.
Me: Hana?
Hana: Ashe? What is it?
Me: So how are you? Is Ariana bothering you?
Hana: I'm fine. Ariana's mostly just been making fun of me and Hanzo. Lucio's not really bothered by it, and he's been leaving me alone. But that's it.
Me: Wait..... hold up....... do you actually like, have a crush, on Hanzo? Omg, that's Genji's brother!!!!!!
Hana: .............
Hana: ......... yes............ only a little schoolgirl crush. Nothing too serious, don't worry.
Hana: But Ashe, please don't tell the others. Not yet. I'll tell them, and Hanzo, only when I'm ready.
Me: K, if you say so............
*time skip to after we shower and stuff*
"Okay guys I'm going to sleep now! Am, Angela, goodnight!"
"Goodnight Ashe!" Amelie and Angela replied.
