Chapter 4 ~ hard work

Tuesday 3:10pm

Chloe's P.O.V

"You've got that one thing so GET OUT GET OUT GET OUT OF MY HEAD AND FALL INTO MY ARMS INSTEAD" I sang to my one direction CD while my mom drove me to dance. "Chloe" My mom said, "yessss" I replied. "You know the new girl Isabella" "yes mom" "well is she going to the competition this weekend?" My mom asked me. "Yeah I think so,why? "Thats so unfair you have been dancing since you were 4 at the studio, you earned your spot on the team, she should have to wait a couple months" my mom complained. I just ignored my mom I love her and everything but she is a stirrer and she puts her nose in everything. My mom pulled up in the parking lot and I jumped out" and I walked into the den and pulled on my shoes, I'm the only one here I thought, then I heard giggling coming from the studio. I went in and there was the girls stretching and they were having girly chats basically. I was about to say something when the den door opened behind me. "Girls how long have you been here for its only just turned 3:30pm?" Abby wondered. "Well I wasn't doing anything at home so I came early to run over a few things whilst you were in studio B with the younger ones, so I called Maddie if she would help me with some steps so she came, then the rest of the girls should up and we started to stretch" Isabella explained. "Well Isabella, Maddie I'm very pleased, it shows how much you girls put into your dancing!" Abby praised. "Chloe why aren't you stretching with the girls?" Abby questioned, "uhh..I just got here" I answered. "PUH CHLOE IT SHOWS HOW MUCH YOU WANT TO DANCE, THESE GIRLS WHERE ALL HERE BEFORE YOU STRETCHING AND WARMING UP, NOW GO TO STUDIO B AND WARM UP,ON YOUR OWN FOR 10 MINUTES" Abby shouted. I ran into studio B trying to hold back the tears. Ever since that Isabella has got here shes messed up everything!

Isabella's" P.O.V

"Right girls solos this weekend Kendall you will be doing a Hip-hop solo called 'just being me', Nia you are going do a jazz solo called 'that jazz', Maddie you'll be doing a lyrical solo called 'hurt' and finally Mackenzie you will be doing a tap solo called 'tap along'" Abby told us. I was disappointed that I didn't have a solo, but I guess it's my first week and Abby has to see what i'm like in the group dance, because if I don't look good on stage with the girls, i'm going to look terrible on my own. We were half way through running the routine when Chloe came back in. "Ready to join in now?" Abby gestured Chloe to join in, she nodded and ran to her position. "Chloe before I forget you will be doing a ballet solo called 'myself' so you have to work hard" Abby mentioned.

It was 8:25pm when we finished our group dance and Abby dismissed us. We went into the den and I put my dance shoes in my bag, when Abby walked in. "Isabella studio B now, bring your stuff as well" Abby demanded. Maddie run over to me and whispered, "I bet think your having an audition or something". "Why in studio B though" I whispered back, "so the moms won't get jealous and go on a rampage". We both giggled, "see you tomorrow Maddie" I called to her, "dont forget about me!" Mackenzie grumbled. "Bye Kenzi" I smiled to her. "Bye Izzy" they both shouted to me as the went out of the den.

I walked into studio B and there was my mom and Abby, "Isabella put your bag in the corner and lets have a chat" she smiled. This is when I began to get nervous. I put my bag in the corner and sat down in front of Abby and my mom. "Well Isabella, I didn't mention you about solos earlier because I didn't know your strengths and weaknesses in dance yet, so have you got any solos from different genres?" Abby asked. "Yeah um I have my tap shoes in my bag if you want to see tap" I smiled. "Lovely" Abby went over to the CD player and I put my tap shoes on and got in position. "Ready" Abby called to me, I nodded and smiled. The music started and I danced with all my heart and tapped my feet and used my faces. The music finished and Abby and my mom cheered and claped. "Lyrical?" Abby asked. I always have to remember to point my toes when I do my lyrical because thats something I always forget to do in my lyrical routines, but this time I remembered everything, faces the lot. I had another round of applause. After that I done a Jazz, hip hop and ballet. Abby decided that I was going to a ballet routine. That means I'm up against Chloe, I'll just have to put all my effort into it so I can beat Chloe and show Abby that I'm a talented dancer.

Saturday (one day before competition) 9:00am

"FACES ISABELLA COME ON DO YOU WANT TO WIN?" Abby screamed at me. I put all my effort in my private lessons because Abby has give up her time to help me and me only. "POINT YOUR TOES ISABELLA" I pointed my toes with all my strength. I finished my dance heavily breathing. "One more time Izzy, all your effort now okay" I nodded at Abby and got in my ballet position. The music started and I put my heart and soul into the dance, I pointed my toes, used my faces, extended my fingers and danced gracefully. I finished in my ended position and Abby said nothing. A moment passed and Abby started smiling, she started clapping and she opened up her arms and gave me a huge hug. "If you dance like that tomorrow then your going to win" Abby comforted me. "I won't let you down Abby I promise"I grinned and I was free to take a break. It was time to start teams.

Abby called us all on moms to. "As you all know that we are going to 'encore' Ohio, and I just got off the phone and those rotten apples are going to be there, we have to beat them!" Abby informed us. "Moms go to the dressing room the girls costumes are there solos to, girls get on your shoes and dance"Abby demanded. We went into the den and we got on our shoes. "Rotten apples, who are they?" I asked. "Basically ages ago there was a girl about kenzi's age that use to come here and her mom Cathy had a studio, then there was an argument, then Cathy was angry and wanted to go up against us for revenge" Nia told me. "Ah well that was interesting" we laughed. "Now lets go practise so we can kick their butt tomorrow!" Kenzi shouted. We went over the group dance over and over again until it was perfection. We all left the studio at 9:30pm and we have to get up early tomorrow, I cant wait for my first competition!
