If you want to request a OS or pairing, take a look at the rules first. They are on my profile or in chapter 1.
Frazel – Ballet AU
It was a stormy Saturday morning. Olympus Dance Academy was holding auditions for their ballet class. ODA was one of the biggest and best dance schools in New York, many young dancers tried to get into it. The school was located in upstate New York, in a small town, and the students were staying in dorms.
Hazel pulled into the parking spot at the train station, just in time to see a train, coming from New York City, stopping. She turned off the engine of the bright orange van and looked over at the other van parked next to her. Annabeth, who had been driving the other van, nodded to her and hopped out.
Hazel grabbed her clipboard and took a deep breath. There was no reason to be nervous, she told herself.
She hopped out of the van and watched as Annabeth pulled out a sign with 'Olympus Dance Academy' written on it. Hazel went over to her and looked down at her clipboard. A lot of dancers would be driving with them today, more than fit into the two vans. Seemed like they would have to go two rounds.
There was a shout coming from the platform and three girls came running towards them. Hazel brushed some hairs out of her eyes and smiled at them.
"Can I get your names?", she asked, smiling slightly.
One of the girls told her the names and Hazel crossed them off her list.
"Take a seat, your luggage will be taken care off", she told them.
The girls disappeared inside Annabeth's van, happily chatting. They seemed excited. Hazel smiled slightly at this. She remembered how excited she had been when she had come to audition two years ago. With a lot of luck she had managed to get into the school and she had experienced two of the best years of her life there.
Annabeth gave Hazel the sign and loaded the suitcases into the back of the van.
The next person was a young boy with his parents. Hazel crossed them off her list and told them to sit down. Most of the dancers arriving by train were on their own or with friends, the ones with family normally came by car.
Ten more people got into the vans, before Annabeth declared them full. Two of the people on the list hadn't shown up, so there was no need for another drive to the station.
Hazel climbed into her seat and followed Annabeth to the school. It was at the edge of town, so it took a bit to get there.
All the way to the school, loud chatter sounded through the van, and once they reached the drive way, the chatter turned into yelling. All of the people in Hazel's van were peering out of the window, all except one boy. He was a bit older than Hazel and very tall and broad shouldered. It was a unusual build for a ballet dancer. Hazel cast him a glance in the rearview mirror and noticed how he looked very nervous and a bit scared. She couldn't blame him, the auditions were scary.
She stopped in the parking lot of the school and told the dancers to get out. She climbed out too and helped them with their suitcases and then directed them to the school. Once all of them had disappeared through the front door, Hazel locked the van and walked towards the back entrance. The main entrance was swarming with people and she didn't even bother to try her luck with getting through the masses.
Once inside, she made her way to the backstage area of the auditorium. Her ballet class was supposed to dance in the welcome ceremony and she had to get ready for that.
~OoO~
After dropping off his suitcase in one of the classrooms, Frank made his way to the auditorium. It was already filled with people and Frank only found a seat in the back. Some of the people looked at him like he was in the wrong place, so Frank hunched his shoulders and tried to become smaller.
He knew that he was too tall and broad for ballet, but it had never stopped him before. It had been his dream for years now to get into ODA and he finally mustered the courage to try it. His father had been against it, of course, but Frank didn't want to be a soldier, he wanted to dance.
Shortly after he sat down, the light dimmed and the auditorium quieted down. A man in a wheelchair rolled on stage and greeted them. Frank recognized him as Chiron Brunner, a famous choreographer and director of ODA. After a welcome speech, music started and a group came on stage and started to dance.
Frank watched them with fascination. They made it look so easy. One of the girls was the one who drove the van Frank arrived in. She was by far the best out of all of them, in his opinion.
It was the evening of the same day when Frank was searching for room A2. His audition was in half-an-hour, seeing as he was last in the alphabet, so he had to wait a long time.
After the welcome ceremony, they had gotten a short tour around campus, eaten lunch and been told how the auditions worked. Then auditions started. Room A2 was used for warming-up and stretching, so Frank had to get there on time.
He passed a group of girls comforting another crying girl and winced. Hopefully he made it, or it was hello to the army.
He rounded a corner, nearly slamming into somebody else. Frank recognized her as his driver.
"Sorry", he apologized, blushing bright red.
She giggled slightly, but told him not to worry about it. Frank started to walk away, when he remembered that he had no idea were to go.
"Could you tell me where room A2 is?", he asked the girl.
She nodded.
"It's right around the corner. Are you going to warm-up?", she asked.
"Yes"
"Oh, then good luck with your audition. Break a leg!", she said.
With a small smile, she rounded the corner and disappeared. Frank turned to the room and slipped inside.
Two others were there, stretching and talking to each other. Both gave Frank a critical look before turning away. Frank tried not to be bothered by it and slipped on his shoes.
~OoO~
Hazel walked over to the hallway leading to room A1, where the auditions were being held. The room had a huge window to the hallway, so it was possible to watch the dancers. Some of ODA's students were lounging in front of them, watching the auditions.
Hazel walked over to her friend Annabeth and her boyfriend Percy. Percy wasn't in ballet class, but in hip hop, so it was surprising to see him there.
Both greeted Hazel with a smile and Annabeth told her what she thought of the current dancer. Percy seemed to be more focused on playing with Annabeth's hair than what was going on inside, so Hazel didn't expect any comment from him.
After twenty minutes, the boy Hazel had run into earlier, walked into the room. He talked to the three teachers playing judge for a minute, before getting into position. Apparently the music started, because he started to move.
Hazel was impressed by his dancing.
He moved so gracefully, even if he was so big, every movement seemed to flow into another. It was incredible.
"He's good", Annabeth said.
Hazel grinned. The boy got the Chase Stamp of Approval, not many managed that.
The dance ended and there was some more talking, before he started anew. The second dance was as impressive as the first and soon the boy got handed an acceptance letter.
Hazel moved over to the door when he stepped out, a huge grin on his face.
"Congratulations", she said, motioning to the letter.
"Th-thanks", he stammered out.
Hazel smiled.
"I guess I will see you in class", she said.
Then she turned to go back to her friends. The boy said something like 'see you' and then walked to the changing rooms.
I hope you liked it.
