1 – Back at ABC
At my apartment I was practicing my stretches. Since I had been principle for Cooper's company I had gotten everything a little bigger than it would have been if I had been a ABC dancer. For instance my apartment was quite a bit bigger than I could have hoped, and the fact that it was sectioned off in the nicer part of the city was a plus as well. Cooper had gotten married to that wealthy divorcée that I still can't remember the name of. Ironically I felt sorry for her, the only reason Cooper married her was for the money, though I can't figure out why he needed any more it. Cooper was rich without a wealthy wife; as for me I had been seeing Charlie for two months now. Cooper always had a look of scathing in store for Charlie, I don't know why, he never really loved me anyway, I was just another one of the faces in the crowd. Well, you know what they say, you always want what you can't have. I about picked up the phone, but decided to let the answering machine answer it.
"Hello, Jodie?" It was Cooper, I picked the phone up.
"Yes?" I said.
"Jodie, could you do me a favor, I have to go talk to Jonathan, and I'd feel better to take one of my dancers …"
"Why don't you take Nona, I'm really busy right now Cooper, and you know that Jonathan never liked me all that well."
"Sure he did Jodie, please?"
"I-I'll think about it, I was going to go see Charlie today anyway, and that's on the way."
"Great, pick you up at three Jodie." He hung up. Why is it so impossible for me to say no? I ran my fingers through my hair and looked at the apartment, it was a mess.
"I miss Mom," I said under my breath plucking discarded clothes off the floor. The phone rang again. I picked it up right away.
"Hello?"
"Hi Jodie, it's Maureen." I sucked in my breath. I hadn't seen Maureen since our last ballet (which I must report was a big success).
"Hey! I haven't seen you in a while, is everything all right?"
"Yes, fine, me and Jim are getting married!"
"Married? That's great! When?"
"Next month, listen, Jodie, I want you to be there."
"Oh, how exciting! Does Eva or Bill or Emily or anyone else know yet?" Stupid question, of course they knew.
"Yes, Eva has agreed to be my maid of honor!"
"How wonderful!"
"Jodie?"
"What?"
"Would you be a maid as well? I mean, we really weren't the best of friends back at the academy, but you were always nice to me—and oh, would you?"
"Yes, it would be an honor!"
"Thank you so much! Well, I guess I'll see you, bye!"
"Bye."
Married, how romantic, they were getting married. I decided to call Charlie …
