"And plie, and jette, and plie and jette." Madamoselle Lilly repeated to her dance class as the class of twelve would bend at the bar.
"Zat ez all for today. Class ez dizmizzed." Madamoselle Lilly announced in her thick French accent.
The girls let out a tired sigh as they all headed towards the locker room.
"Don't forget class, zat zee auditzions for Swan Lake ez next Thurzday."
"Yes Madamoselle." the girls called in unison as they left the dance hall and entered the locker room.
"So are you gonna try out for Swan Lake?" Monica Spencer asked her best friend Hannah Johnson as she looked at her reflection in the locker mirror.
"I dunno," Hannah told her as she took off her ballet slippers.
"Why not? Your a great dancer." Monica said as she examined her eyes. "Does it look like I'm getting crows feet to you?"
"Girl, you got a long way to go before you have to start worrying crows feet." Hannah laughed.
"Oh I suppose," Monica sighed barely paying attention to what her friend was saying. "But seriously you should totally try out for Swan Lake." she said as she took her blonde and pink highlighted hair out of her bun and replaced it in a high ponytail.
"Heck I say your good enough to try out for Odette."
"Now your just saying that." Hannah said dryly as she opened her locker and took out her normal clothes.
"Do I ever lie?"
"What about the time you told Daniel that your uncle was Trace Adkins because he told you that he was a big fan?" Hannah asked smirking.
"Well-"
"Or the time you lied on your resume and said that your reffrences were Dr. Phil, Beyonce, and Spongebob Squarepants?"
"Now that was-"
"And lets not forget the time that you told your parents that you was sleeping over at my house when in fact you went out with that guy and lied about your age so you could get that tattoo on your-"
"Okay Hannah we get!" Monica interrupted not to happy about having her past brought up.
"Ok I have lied in the past, but as your friend believe me when I tell you that you are a wonderful dancer. And you would blow the competition for the spot of Odette." Monica said placing her hands on Hannah's shoulders.
Hannah gave her friend a small smile. "Thanks girl."
"What are friends for?" Monica asked as she clapped Hannah on the back.
"Oh look if it isn't the loser geek and the wannabe." a voice said.
Hannah and Monica cringed as they turned around and saw their arch enemy Stacy Turner.
"Get out of here Stacy!" Hannah snapped as she pulled out her dance bag.
"Oh I am. I wouldn't be caught dead with the likes of either of you." Stacy snapped.
"Then why are you here? Or are you wanting to get another nose job because I'd be happy to oblige." Monica threatened cracking her knuckles.
"I just wanted to tell that I hope neither of you were planning on trying out for the part of Odette, because that part is as good as mine." Stacy said as she flipped her curly black hair around her shoulder.
"Actually Hannah here was just telling me that she was going to try out for that exact part."
"Hannah said what now?" Hannah asked poking her head up. She did not agree to this.
"Well then Hannie is just looking forward to utter humiliation then."
"And you are looking forward to me beating the snot outta you!" Monica said as she tried to lunge at Stacy, but Hannah held her back.
"What ez going on here?" Madamoselle Lilly asked stepping between the three teenage girls.
"Nothing Madamoselle." they all said in unison.
"I do not have time for zees childish nonzence. Hurry up an get ready. I have to close up zee dance studio."
"Yes Madamoselle." they said again as the older woman left.
"This isn't over." Stacy growled as she sauntered away.
"Why did you say that? Now I have to try out and I'm gonna make a fool of myself!" Hannah exclaimed.
"Will you relax? Your one of the best dancer's in the class and you will do fine." Monica reassured.
"If you weren't my best friend I would murder you right now." Hannah said as she gathered up her clothes and went to go change.
"Aw you know you love me." Monica said as she grabbed her clothes and went to change as well.
"Do I?" Hannah finished and the two girls laughed at the inside joke between them.
Five minutes later everyone had changed and were leaving for home or wherever they had to go.
"So wanna come over to my house?" Monica asked as she watched Hannah put on her skates.
"Can't gotta get home before Micheal." Hannah answered referring to her younger brother.
"Alright. See ya later Hannah." Monica said as she started to go.
"Bye Monica. See you tomorrow." Hannah called after the blonde and pinked haired girl. Hannah strapped on her other skate, stuck her ipod earbuds in her ears, grabbed her bag and started for home singing along to the song that was playing.
Were going at it
Tonight tonight
There's a party on the rooftop, top of the world
Tonight tonight
And were dancing on the edge of the Hollywood sign
I don't know if I'll make it
But watch how good I'll fake it
It's alright alright
Tonight tonight.
Finally Hannah arrived at her house. She stopped at the porch steps and took off her skates. After making sure no one was looking she reached for the spare house key in the fake plant by the door.
"Mom I'm home!" Hannah called after she replaced the key and entered the house. Instead of her mother's voice however, Hannah heard the sound of nails clicking across the hardwood floor. Around the corner came a big ball of drooling yellow fur that charged right at Hannah.
"No Rosie Don- OH!" Hannah couldn't finish her sentence as the labrador retriever tackled her to the ground and greeted her master with welcome home kisses.
"Haha Ok! Ok! Ok! Rosie! Stop! Stop! Stop!" Hannah ordered pushing the dog off her. "It was cute when you was a puppy but now it's just painful."
"Woof!" Rosie answered wagging her tail. Hannah rolled her eyes and called for her mom one more time as she gathered up her bag and headed towards the kitchen.
She went to the cupboard and grabbed a bag of chips then grabbed a coke out of the fridge. When she closed the fridge it was then that Hannah noticed the note taped to the door.
Dear Hannah,
I have to work late again tonight, and Micheal is going home with Nathan because he is sleeping over there, so it will just be you and Rosie tonight. There is leftover lasagna in the fridge for dinner. Love you. Love
Mom
"Yeah what else is new?" Hannah sighed sarcastically as she crumpled up the note and tossed it in the trash can.
Hannah's mom is a lawyer and often worked late nights leaving Hannah and Micheal alone most of the time. Hannah's father John died shortly after Micheal was born. John had been diagnosed with cancer shortly before Micheal was born and about three months after he was born, John died.
Ever since, her Mother, Angela, had never been the same. She had thrown herself into her work to numb the pain, but in return affected her children. Basically Hannah was more of a mother to Micheal than Angela was.
Hannah sighed as she shook her head of the memories. This is reality. Her reality. And she just had to deal with it.
"At least I can watch T.V. In peace right Rosie?" she said as if the dog understood her.
Hannah finished her chips and soda and went up to her room. She plopped down on the bed and messed around on facebook and youtube for awhile until Rosie trotted into the room carrying her leash in her mouth.
"You wanna go for a walk?" Hannah asked as she petted the dog. Hannah looked at the time and then outside. There was still a little bit of sun out and it was only 4:30.
"You wanna go to the park?"
At the mention of that word, Rosie wagged her tail and barked, accidently dropping the leash.
"All right! All right! Just let me get my stuff." Hannah said as she logged off her laptop and grabbing her mini backpack which she used as a purse.
She tossed in her ipod, her sketchbook, a pack of colored pencils, and of coarse the most important thing. A bag a twizzlers which she had hidden in her room in case of emergency.
She hooked Rosie to the leash and threw on a pair of flipflops as she and her dog made their way downstairs.
They walked out the door and after checking to make sure it was locked the girl and dog made their way to the park.
