story of a dancer

Chapter 4

"Hi Luna, how was dance," Mike asked
"It was good I get to audition for Clara this year," I told him
"Wait really, that's so cool." Faith joined in
"Yah really, I'm so excited!" I explained
     "LUNA, why are you home so late!" My mom yelled
"You and dad were supposed to pick me up after practice today, I thought you guys got held up in traffic but now I see you were just with your family. I called grandma to pick me up."
"Don't use attitude with us Luna" now my dad joined in
"But, she wasn't dad you guys told her this morning you would pick her up." Faith said trying to help me, I wish she hadn't.
"Not another word Faith or you'll be grounded, as for you Luna go to your room." My mom said. I did as I was told, no questions asked. About 5 minutes later they came up to my room and had the whole we love you, but your grounded talk. I just zoned them out after a while though I really didn't feel like dealing with them tonight. As soon as they left I took a shower, you never realize how much you can enjoy a shower until your sore, annoyed, and tired. After my shower I got changed and went straight to bed, I don't think I've ever fallen asleep so fast.
"NO, please stop. MOM, stop!" I woke up screaming and sweating. I had a dream where my mom was supposed to drop me off at the studio for my audition, but she just kept driving past the studio as if she was teasing me. I couldn't sleep for the rest of the night no matter how hard I tried, so I read. I read for 2 days before I had enough of this nonsense. I'm supposed to stay in my room until mom or dad come to get me, but oh well. I sneak out the back door and call grandma, she's on her way thank god.
"Thanks, grandma, I don't know what I would do without you," I say to her
"Ohh, I'm sure you would get on fine without me." She replied
"See you later grandma." I say as I start to walk away
"Bye, love you," she said back. I walk into the studio, I walk into the one studio where no one else is and start working on my solo. I keep falling out of my Grand Jetè, out of nowhere someone says
"Plant your feet more before you go into your plie." I whip my head to see who it is, it's Coach Val.
"Ok," I say I walk back to the center of the floor and do as she said,
"WOW!" I say, it looked so nice.
"See look how good you can do, you just have to do it in your head and place what's different between what you are doing and what it should look like," she said
"Ok" I reply I close my eyes and dance in my head, the next thing I know the music is playing and I'm finally in my world, no one else world, mine dancing in the studio. I hear the corrections and immediately take them in and improve my dancing, I finish with the biggest smile on my face.
"That was beautiful Luna" Coach Val told me
     "Thank you," I say, my ankle starting to hurt but I don't care, I go again and again.
"Ok Luna, that's enuff," she says concerningly.
"Just one more time please," I explain what's going on at home and she lets me
