Chloe POV:
"Okay, so who wants to put their name down for Miss National Soloist?" Kate asks looking around. Nobody says anything. "Nobody?" Kate says shocked.
Still no response, which surprises me because Michelle won Miss National Soloist once before I thought she'd like to do it again; although it's understandable if she just wants to focus on her duet with Eldon.
"Alright," Kate continues, "If anybody changes their mind, come and see me okay."
A bubble of excitement rises in me, 'What if I do it?' I think before reality hits me. There is no way that I can find the confidence to do that. Plus it's a lot of pressure. Pressure that I don't need.

After dance Giselle and I head down to Culture Shock to hang out. When Giselle is ordering our drinks I feel a tugging at the hem of my shirt. I turn around to see Margie standing there, I jump.
"What are you doing here by yourself?" I ask her, concerned.
"I'm not alone." She says confidently. "My Mum's over there." She points across the room to a women talking to her friend.
I breathe a sigh of relief.
"I heard that Miss Kate needs someone to do the girls solo at nationals." She says moving her body side to side.
"She does." I confirm. "Are you going to do it?" I say, jokingly.
"No Silly!" Margie says, playfully slapping my arm. "I think that you should do it."
"What? No, no I can't do it. I'm not good enough, I can't audition." I say panicked.
"You're my dance teacher and a really good dancer. You just need to believe in yourself." Margie insists. "You never know until you try."
