Kendall's POV

This is legitimate. After all this time, Abby was serious. We're moving to LA. For good.

"It will have so much more opportunities for you girls! You can go to all kinds of auditions and your music careers will grow easily. There you can become the stars you were destined to be." Abby explained. "So ready your bags, because tomorrow we're moving to LA, forever." Abby smiled at us.

I glanced down at my pale hands, rubbing them trying to bring warmth into my fingers. Mom has been stressing out over this move for months now. We are going to live in a rented house with Maddie and Mackenzie Ziegler. Obviously, this is fine with me since I'll live with my best friend, and mom will be with Melissa Ziegler, Maddie and Mackenzie's mom, who is one of her closest friends, but mom likes to be independent. She wanted her own house.

Abby walked across the empty studio one last time. "See the light girls?" she asked looking out the window. "This is the light of change."

I stifled a groan. It's hard to take Abby seriously anymore. Maddie smirked at me barely glancing up from her phone. Melissa looked at her daughter in shock. "Maddie, pay attention to Abby!" I heard her whisper.

Maddie sighed turning away from her mom. Melissa is a complete Abby kiss up, even worse than my mom. My mom won't let me go on my phone in the studio either. I think it's silly. We're sitting in an empty studio, wasting a good deal of time listening to Abby gush over the "bright light of tomorrow" and I think we could be doing a lot of better stuff with this time.

I am now 13 years old, like Maddie. I just had my birthday last week. I am the third youngest on the team aside from Jojo Siwa, who is 12 and Mackenzie Ziegler, Maddie's little sister, who is 11. Kalani Hilker and Nia Sioux are both 14 and the oldest on the Abby Lee dance studios junior elite team.

Mom says I'm now a "teenager" so soon I will have a horrible attitude and think the world rotates around me. I think she is completely over exaggerating and needs to calm down a bit. Like, it's the same as every other birthday. Nothing special except now my number has a "teen" at the end. Even Miss Abby calls me a stupid teenager now. It's really annoying.

"Abby, where will we meet tomorrow morning? And what time?" Holly asked Abby sharply. Holly and Abby have maintained a strained relationship for some time now, ever since Holly went behind Abby's back to start up Nia's career. Now Abby thinks our music careers much compete. I really hate it since; I don't want to compete against Nia. I think Nia thinks I want to be better than her, and this has caused a breach in our friendship as well.

"We'll meet here, at 6 o'clock sharp. Don't be late." Abby replied.

I sighed. 6. Ugh. Another early morning with my cranky mom screaming at me.

"Maddie. Off your phone now. Pay attention!" I heard Melissa attempt once again.

"To what mom?" Maddie muttered in reply. Melissa pulled her phone out her hand holding it out of Maddie's reach.

"Mom." Maddie snapped. "I'll give it back to you later Maddie. You need to pay attention." Melissa said firmly. Maddie sighed glancing at me. I smirked at her. She smiled in return.

After a good 20 minutes of Abby gushing, she finally seemed out of breath enough to dismiss us. "Alright girls. 6'oclock. Don't you dare be late! I mean it!" Abby said before leaving the deserted studio A.

I slipped out of my seat relieved that was over.

Tomorrow evening, we'll be in LA, to stay. I can't wait to see what opportunities my career will have in LA!
