Chloe's pov:

"C'mon Chloe! Pleeeeaaase!"

At the moment Paige was trying to convince me to go to the club tonight with the whole gang.

"Is Josh going to be there?" I questioned.

"Well... Yeah, but-"

I interrupted her, "Then no."

"Cmon Chloe! Don't be such a drag! It's going to be fun. I planned this whole thing out just for you. I think you need a rebound you know, to get your mind off josh."

Ugh... really Paige? A rebound. Could you be anymore cliché?

"I'll think about it, but I'm only doing this for you."

I hate being such a push-over.

"Yay Chloe! Thank you, thank you, thank you!" She wrapped her arms around me and squeezed me so hard I thought I was going to pop.

"Ummm Paige..." I chocked out. "I can't breath."

"Oh!" She giggled "sorry."

We stood there in an awkward silence for what felt like 10 minutes until I couldn't stand it anymore.

"Well I better get ready. You should too actually."

Today, Paige, Maddie, Kendall, Brandon, Gino, and I are going to try out for the ballet version of Cinderella. Nia was going to try out, but of course, she already had a role in a broadway show, the lion king, as Nala, And Kenzie and Brooke claimed this play was during their try outs for cirque.

I was trying out for the evil stepmother, of course, dark roles are my thing.

I slipped on a black leotard and pink tights. I packed my dance bag with all the shoes I might need and some water. I put my hair in a tight bun and added a sparkly hair clip.

I looked in the mirror. Thinking how professional I looked, back when we were on dance moms we used to wear crop tops and booty shorts, which were comfortable, don't get me wrong, but it wasn't the kind of thing you would wear to try out for an actual ballet.

Before I left to get Paige, I applied just a little waterproof eyeliner and mascara. Since I was trying out for a ballet and I didn't want my makeup to run, I thought it was safest to put on just a little.

I saw Paige waiting for me at the door out of the corner of my eye.

"You ready?" She called.

I grabbed my bag, "Ready as I'll ever be."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When we arrived at Maddie and Kendall's place, I sent Paige to run in and get them.

She came out with Maddie, Kendall, and Gino. Maddie and Gino were holding hands,talk about awkward, but Kendall didn't seem to be bothered by it. At all actually. What's up with that?

"Ok!" Paige said. "Let's go we have a ballet tryout to get to!"

With that, I started the car and we were on our way.

~~~~~~~~~~

The drive there was mostly silent until Maddie, being the brave one, decided to break it.

"Sooooo.... Who's excited for tonight?" She beamed.

"Uhhhh. Me! Duh," Paige said. "and I know Chloe is too! Right chlo?"

Everyone nodded towards me, waiting for an answer.

"So excited, I can't even contain myself." I said sarcastically.

With that Paige just mumbled something unrecognizable under her breath, and the car went back to being as silent as before.

A couple minutes later kendall shouted, "There it is!"

I pulled into the large theater building. Of course there were no parking spaces. Perfect.

I saw someone pulling out so I waited for them patiently.

As I begun to pull in some bitch decided to steal my spot.

I honked at the lady. She just looked at me with this evil face. I swear I almost shit my pants.

"Holy crap." Gino said. "That lady is scary as hell."

We all nodded as I continued looking for a spot. After about 10 minutes I ended up parking at least a mile away. We all ran to the theater, luckily, with five minutes to stretch. We greeted Brandon and began to stretch with him.

When our teacher walked in my eyes grew wider than watermelons. Yup you guessed it. That was the lady I honked at.

"Hello students. I am Mrs. Jones, your teacher and cast director. Which means, I will be teaching you the dances and picking the students. If you weren't smart enough to figure that out already."

Maddie whispered something to me I couldn't make out, but I knew what she would've said. I nodded and gave her the 'I'm screwed' face.

"Ok students, if you are trying out for Cinderella please go under the picture of her. Everyone else please do the same with your character."

Maddie wished me luck as her, Kendall, and Paige walked over to the Cinderella sign along with a lot of other hopeful young girls.

I made my way to the sign of the evil step mother and stood in 5th position.

"Today we will not be doing any dancing. Instead, I will be judging your looks. Yes I know that sounds harsh, but if you don't fit the part looks wise you just can't be the part."

She walked over to girls trying out for Cinderella, placed her hand on Maddie and pulled her to her right saying "pretty." She then pulled another girl and said, "not so pretty." To her left. She continued doing this. Luckily, Kendall and Paige also qualified as pretty.

"If you are standing to my left, I'm sorry you don't have a chance in getting the part. You may try out for something else, or leave."

Wow this chick is harsh.

A few girls cried and left. Others sucked it up and ran under another part. Sadly 'others' is only 2 girls.

She did the same thing with the boys trying out for the prince, both Gino and Brandon qualifying.

She continued doing this with every role.

When she walked over to me I tensed up, breathing harder with every step she took towards me.

When she looked at me all she said was, "Oh honey, judging from our previous encounter, you should be just perfect for this role." With that, she scowled and dismissed everyone until next practice.

Paige walked over to me, "You ready to party now?"

I let loose all the air I had been holding in when mrs. Jones was in my face. "Anything to get my mind off that."

With that all the girls and guys congratulated eachother on making it past 'round one' and left to go get ready to party.

~~~~~~

Sorry I forgot brooke,Paige,and Nolan's pov. I just thought this worked.

This chapter really sucked! It was more of a filler.
