"Woah Ruel did you see Laiyas instagram?" Coco ran into my room and straight onto my bed 

"Yea I did it was really good" I replied looking back at my phone 

"Someone's grumpy" Coco scoffed

"Just nervous thats all" I replied rolling my eyes 

"Well we are all going to be there what could go wrong?" She asked 

"hmmm let me see.. she doesn't want to talk to me, she has moved on or she regrets us almost kissin-" I quickly covered my mouth my cheeks instantly turning red

"You what!" came from a wide eyed Syvlie who just like coco came and sat on my bed

"Shut up I don't want to talk about this with you guys" I said covering my face with a pillow

"Well you wouldn't be here without us so I think we have the right to know" sassed Coco

"Ugh fine.. so basically I saw her at the beach with her dance friends and she introduced us to them and they all began talking, and I asked to go on a walk with her which she agreed to then we talked and I apologized and she forgave me.. and I guess.. we errr kinda well almost kissed but her phone rang"  I said looking at the expressions on the two girls faces 

"You are so so lucky she is forgiving" Coco said rolling her eyes

"Just remember Vincent we are happy for you but know that forgiveness is one thing but trust is a whole other story" Sylvie said standing up and walking over to the door with Coco

I guess they are right, I need to win back her trust and I'm willing to do anything to get that back

"But hurry up we gotta leave!" the girls said before walking out, I got up and left my room meeting my family in the car parked outside. We made ur way to the venue and went to the security check where we showed out tickets. We made our way to our seats and saw the rest of the group sitting there, behind us was Laiyas mum and brother and I'm guessing a few other parents from the dance team. 

"So whats the schedule?" My mum asked to Laiyas mum

"So basically first is Duo trio and Laiya is in this category for duet, she is the only one in the team in this category well besides her partner. Then next is Group performance and finally solo which only two people have Laiya and I think Emma have the solos" she replied passing my mum her guide

"Oh wow so Laiya is in every category" I said 

"Yea she is" she replied smiling 

The lights dimmed and the host walked onto the stage

"Welcome welcome everyone to this years International dance competition finals! I am so glad you guys are here. I want to congratulate all the competing dancers today and I hope you all enjoy the show. First we have Duo Trio! So let's get this show on the road!" He screamed walking off the stage 

Music began playing and like 10 dancers performed and they were all absolutely amazing  definitely going to be a hard competition. 

"Oh shit Laiya and Kailand are after this!" one of the ladies beamed

 "hey hey guys we are here the two are getting ready to go on" said one out of many girls all dressed in the dance attire 

They all sat down on there chairs and watched the dance before Laiyas

"Righteo that will be hard to beat.. Next up we have Laiya Turner and Kailand Morris" the announcer said and all the group began cheering especially the girls. Laiya walked on stage the lights beaming down on her, then finally the music began playing.

time skip to day of competition

I couldn't sleep that night all I could think about was the fact that Ruel was going to be in the audience, I already knew that all of my friends were going but I had absolutely NO IDEA he was going to be there.

"You gotta stop stressing" Katie said knocking me out of daze

"I wasn't" I replied way to quickly

"Hmmm well your hair is all done, now just gotta do your makeup!" she squealed

My duet is first then my group the last but not least my solo, aka the one I am most nervous for.

I quickly did my makeup and said goodbye to the girls who were going out into the audience to watch us. 

"You ready?" Kailand asked putting out his hand 

"Ready as I'll ever be!" I said grabbing it and walking to the side stage

The announcer announced our names and we both began walking onto the stage holding hands but letting go once we finally got to our positions which consisted of me being lifted off the floor. The music began and I felt every bit of nerve disappear this was our dance. 

Laiya and Kailands Dance

Once the music had stopped we both walked off the stage going our separate ways, I could hear the screaming and cheers from the audience, even the judges were standing up and clapping something they hadn't done for the others. 

One we made it back to the green room we were greeted by the rest of the team they were all cheering and congratulating us.

"You should've seen Ruels face he was shocked and smiling the whole way through" Katie teased going over to the changing rooms

My face went bright red

It was now time for the group performances though I still was amazed by her duet it was amazing she seemed so focused yet so much passion went into the dance. 

Once again the lights dimmed and a few dances went by before hers everyone had massive props for their dances which made me intrigued for what they would have. They called their group name before the curtains closed which is when I imagine they bring out their prop. 

Once the curtain re opened the crowed went crazy there they were all standing on a massive structure looking like mannequins they all looked incredible including Laiya.

Laiyas pov 

This is for sure our hardest dance, the story behind it is that all the girls are puppets whilst they guys are our puppeteers. The prop is massive and we have to jump off it a lot so I'm hoping we can pull it off. We all got our places on the prop and the curtains opened revealing a screaming audience. 

the group dance

once the dance finished the crowed went crazy screaming and jumping, clapping and some even crying well mostly our mums, but I was so proud none of us messed up and we all put in 100% it was defiantly our best dance so far. 

We left the stage and was greeted by our coaches jumping around and tearing up

"Alright Laiya and Emma ready to help bring home gold?" They said to the both of us who were both getting into our costumes

"I think so.. how about you Lay" she questioned 

"Yep lets do this!"
