Da Nutcracker

New York
        Sophie's POV
   I was walking down the streets of New York, I had just moved here, and I had an appointment to a ballet studio not to far from my new neighborhood.I did ballet back in Florida, I was the best in the group.N since I've moved and I had to look for a new ballet studio here in New York.Thank goodness I did.But I'm beyond nervous because it's like I'm starting over with meeting new people, and I can get really shy the first time meeting people.But once you get to know me , it's a whole new story.Hopefully I can make a friend or two.I hope the people are nice.

I looked up at a sign.
"Queen B Ballet dance studio...yep I'm at the right place"
I walked straight in, I had to go down a hallway and two big white doors stood tall, I could hear ballet music coming threw the doors.I took a deep breath and I slowly walked in.A group of girls and guys quickly looked my way.
"Stop the music" ! Mrs B said
A girl walked with poised towards the stereo , and she cuts the music off.Everybody glared at me.I glared at everybody and I looked away to stare at the teacher , she looks at me and smiles.We had already met a few days ago.
"Hi sweetie come on in" she says holding her arms out
"Hiiii Mrs B"
We hugged.
"Sorry I'm late"
"No sweetie were actually just warming up your fine"
"Okay"
She smiles at me.
"Gon ahead and put your bag down, and I'll introduce you to the kids"
I nodded and placed my bag down.

"What the hell are the boys whispering about" ? I snapped
"I don't know but their being a bunch of chatty Kathy's" Domonique said
"they better not be talking about that new gurl, a least Stephan better not, or he would know what's good for him"
"I see DJ checking her out the most tho" Angel said
"Yeah , I think him and her would be cute" Nikki said
"I don't care about this new girl, she better not get in my way" I snapped

"SO everybody this is Sophie , she will be joining our ballet team, she has moved all the way from Florida , and now she's here to continue her ballet journey , please welcome her with open arms and be respectful, remember we are a family , everybody say Hi Sophie"
"Hiiiii Sophie" everybody said
Except for one of the girls.
I smiled and waved shyly at everyone.
"Sup Sophie" ! A boy said
"Hi" I said smiling
Oh he cute I said to myself.
"So this is our ballet leader Princess"
She seizes me and smiles.
"Hey" she said
"Hi" I said smiling
I placed my hand out to shake it , but she didn't shake my hand, I quickly took my hand away.
"This is Domonique,Nikki,Angel, Caroline, Stephan, DJ, QT, Prince and Mario" Mrs B said
"Nice to meet everyone" I said smiling
"So nice to meet you" ! Caroline said
She seems like the the friendliest.
"Sophie you can stand by DJ"

"Your gonna share that money with me right " ? Stephan asked
Princess made a face "in ya dreams child" !
He scoffs "Danm that's cold" he said
The other boys laughs.
"that money is going towards my shopping" Princess says
Caroline rolls her eyes and walks towards me.
"Ugh I can't stand her, she is so self centered and cocky, she swears she's getting that solo spot"
"I had a gurl just like her at my old ballet school , it's super annoying"
"It's so annoying, I don't really talk to those girls, and the boys are okay, I felt kind of alone, but since your here I feel like I have someone to talk to now"
"Awww I'm sorry you felt that way before, but I'm also happy you said that in a way, because I was hoping to make a friend"
"Yeah I can understand that, coming to a new state, a new ballet school, meeting new people, it can be pretty intimidating"
"Yeah especially when your kind of shy like me"
"I used to be super shy, but I've grown out of it"
"How did you do it" ?
"Uh well I started to be more social and active...I don't know it kind of just started to slowly go away "
I nodded and grinned "cool"
Princess walks up to me , her friends followed.
"So new gurl, I don't know what ballet school in Florida your coming from but this is my school and I'm the leader , and I'm getting that solo spot, so don't get in my way...okay"
Her friends giggled.
"How about y'all back off" Caroline snaps
Princess frowns "oh Caroline, you can't even do a pirouette yet, so don't act like your so all that in front of the new gurl , because you know I'll put you in your place within a heartbeat"
"Ha" ! Domonique says
Caroline frowns. Princess and her friends giggle and walks away.
"Mrs B was preaching about family...i don't see nothing about family"
"Ugh exactly" Caroline said rolling her eyes
I seen DJ watching me.I smiled.
"Are you checking out Mr man" ? Caroline asked
"Noooo" I said grinning
"Yes you are , and he's checking out you"
"Ok maybe"
"He's actually the nicest boy here and he is single, I think y'all would make a cute couple"
"Really" ?
"Hell yeah"
"Okay kids , I'm gonna pick everybody partners for the couples competition, and I will announce who got the solo spot tomorrow morning"
Everybody headed to their spots.
"QT and Domonique, Nikki and Mario, Prince and Angel, Stephan and Princess, DJ and Sophie, and Caroline Brandon is still under the weather but he will be your partner when he comes back"
Everybody stood next to their partners.
"I'm really glad she picked us" DJ said

"Do you think your gonna get that solo? what if Mrs B picks a boy" ?

"Mrs B have you decided who you will be picking for the solo competition" ?
She looks up at me.
"I have, and I will announce who it is tomorrow " ?
"Is it me" ? I asked with excitement
"You will just have to wait and see honey "

"Aye DJ you coming man"?! Stephan yells
"Nah I'll pass , I'm going to mamas kitchen with Sophie, Caroline and Brandon"
"Whatever, suit yourself" Stephan said
Everybody headed out the building and we walked to mamas kitchen.Its all about walking when you come to New York.Everything is walking distance, it's much different than Florida, and it's so many people on these streets and it's much much colder.Florida never got this cold, but I guess I'll get used to it.
