I really don't want to leave The Next Step. It's where I've danced all my life. But I don't want to be looked at as "the hurt one". I want to dance at a place where my skills are valued. And that place is Superstar Dance Academy.
Mom offers to drive me to the studio for my first day, but she tells me that after today, I'll need to take the bus by myself. She's not happy with my move, but she knows how much the solo means to me, so shes allowing it.
The studio is in a really fancy city that I've never been to before. The one and a half hour drive seems like a century compared to the five minute drive to The Next Step. When we arrive, I thank Mom for the drive, grab my bag and head towards the large fancy doors.
Chris waits just inside. "Welcome to Superstar, Daniel!" He cries, obviously happy to see me. His enthusiasum makes me feel a little better. "The studio's in here, just follow me." Chris leads me into a big room with big stained glass windows with pictures of dancers. Some girls and boys who look to be about my age warm up at the far side of the large room.
Chris gets everybody's attention by clapping his hands. They croud around him in a semi-circle.
"Everybody, this is Daniel" he says. "Hi" I give a small smile and a wave. "Daniel, this is Amy, Mia, Maddy, Johnny, Charlotte, Colin, Alexis, Finn, Michael, Hannah, and Reese." None of them smile back or say hello.Real chatty and friendly. I miss The Next Step more and more as I watch them. " Daniel is going to be our male soloist at Nationals!" I observe them react to this piece of news. Reese's eyes flash with shock, then start to burn with anger. And even without speaking, I can tell that Reese and I are not going to be close friends.
