A retelling of Swan Lake and The Ugly Duckling:
For 20 minutes each night, I danced with him as Odette, the black swan, pretending he loved me. But I was never the white swan or his true princess. I'd end with a pirouette, tears hidden, while he chased the real Odette. The wizard would take me away as I skated beside him, hidden from the audience.
Mila : In high school, I was the ugly duckling, wearing braces and glasses. My twin and her boyfriend, Jayden, ignored me. I secretly loved him. Then, he reappeared, making me feel cherished and accepted. Maybe this was my chance to move on, but he left with my sister, the white swan.
Sebastian:
I was just a thug in High School, she would always smile and give me a hug.
Ten years later, she's just as beautiful. My kitten. My Sweet.
I never acted on my feelings in high school.
But the odds are against us. Darkness looms and the ballet is ending. Do we fight for what could be?
