I started spinning slowly using my face emotions as I crunched up tightening my body. Brianna did a small spin sequence beside me, and Jenna did and front walkover to me and threw her arms around me.
We continued the dance finishing off the routine. I laid their eyes wide open facing the "crowd".
Once again I'm leading the group routine and I have to act the part of a girl with severe mental issues and the other dancers try to help me but I think there evil so I'm afraid of them. It's an amazing dance, but Brianna gets to do the spin sequence, which is usually my part.
I don't mean to sound like a complete *itch, because I have Waaay more parts then her, but its just bothering me. Spins were always me, all my life.
Erin nodded. "Gorgeous girls. I can see the story, you guys are doing great!" She stood up. "Let's try the one two swing hip low up three four spin. Okay good, Lisa, you need to make sure your body turns lower. Emily you need to go a little faster to keep up. Swivel your hips Brianna! Brianna you can't mess up the spinning, were all dependent on you in that area. Do you need someone else to do it?"
I glanced at red faced Brianna who shook her head no quickly. Secretly, I was very happy her spin sequence wasn't turning out the best. I wouldn't mind if it was anyone else, but Brianna, no.
"Alright let's try it again guys. Brianna do it right or we'll switch." Erin said sitting back down to watch.
We started the dance once again. One two three I started my pirouettes into the kick over with my back bent over.
We danced the routine a several more times before Erin said we did it enough. I breathed heavily as I grabbed my water bottle.
Jason sat beside me smiling at me. He wasn't in the dance, since he was in a different group, but his group had come to watch us perform.
"Good job captain. You quite an actor huh?" Jason asked me.
I laughed. "I don't know about that one soldier. I can manage emotions but I'm still working on acting. Like I've had a lot more experience than most people but I just want to be better."
He laughed. "God Maddie, your never satisfied with yourself are you?"
Erin clapped her hands catching our attention. "Okay guys. Great work! I'm imagining this dance is going to come out great and I can't wait for it! Get some rest, do your homework. Solos practice at 6, trio at 8. Got it?" We nodded. 8 o'clock, we can go to Starbucks and get back and ready by 8.
We walked out giggling. "Come, I gotta run to my room to shower and change." I said.
"I need to too Maddie. Unless you'd like to have some sweaty loser following her around all day in shorts and an undershirt." He joked poking my side.
We went to our rooms quickly. We separated into our separate rooms. I took a super-fast shower. When I came out Brianna was there. "What's the rush?" She asked.
"Going out." I replied shortly, not wanting to talk to her.
"Where?" She asked. I ignored her question as I chose a cute outfit. "With who?" She asked.
"Oh my god. Why do you care, can you move?" I snapped rushing around.
I went back into the bathroom changing quickly. I spent a good amount of time making my makeup perfect and curling my hair perfectly.
Then I grabbed a bag stuffing my wallet and phone in it before leaving.
Jason was sitting on the floor across the hall on his phone. "My god mads. You were taking forever, and you weren't answering my messages." He said bounding up.
"Sorry. Didn't check my phone yet. Cause then I'd have to reply to EVERYONE and that takes a while." I said. "C'mon McKenna waiting." Jason said with a smile.
We hurried down to the main hall where we found McKenna. "Finally. Let's go." McKenna said leading us out of the building.
I followed happily grabbing Jason's arm. Even though I've only known Jason for a little more than a month, were already really close, and we'll probably be unbreakable in a year or so. We already have a solid friendship which I never had managed to have with Peter. Me and Peter rushed too much. That's why our relationship is about to end. I know its hanging on a string; I just don't want it to end.
He barely ever replies to my texts, he never has time to hang out, he never face times me anymore, he never compliments me anymore, he never surprises me with a visit. I feel myself starting to get upset so I stop thinking about him.
I focus on having fun at Starbucks with McKenna and Jason.
We make it to Starbucks. We walk in chatting as we walk up to the counter. I order a vanilla bean Frappuccino saying my name is Katniss before going to sit down to wait.
After we get our drinks we spend a couple hours there talking. We talked about nearly everything. I told them some stuff I had never told anyone before. Near the end, the conversation turned to Peter.
"I don't know. I just don't think he's interested in me anymore." I sighed texting Sophia at the same time.
"Why would he not be interested? In you Maddie? That's crazy." Jason said making me blush. Aww he's so sweet.
"I don't know, it's just... Not working out. Look I don't really want to talk about it. How about we start heading back now? I said stuffing my empty cup into the garbage.
Jason and McKenna follow me out. When I step outside, two little girls probably about 12 years old stand in front of me their mouths wide open. "Maddie Ziegler!?" One girl shrieks. I smile,
I don't usually see my fans anymore and I don't get this treatment as often anymore so every time it does happen I'm thrilled. I know my fans are having trouble figuring out what's going on with me. On twitter and Instagram there constantly asking when I'm gonna do another music video, and why they never see me anywhere anymore, and why aren't I with Abby and Kendall anymore. And why I'm never at Kenzie's performances. And when I'm coming back to ALDC. I reply to as many as I can explaining my absence for the past year and 3 months and what I'm doing, and how Sia is waiting for my training to be completed for the next video.
The girls ran up to me. "Can we have your autograph? Can we get a picture? Omg is this your boyfriend?!" I laughed pulling a pen out of my bag writing my name on all the objects they handed me. The girls beside me and McKenna snapped the picture for them. They also wanted a picture of Jason and I, believing Jason was my boyfriend although I insisted he was my friend. After explaining the whole school and Sia situation to them, I said bye and we continued on our way home.
Jason smiled at me. "Forgot her were a celebrity. That's right, Grammys twice, music videos, elles model and reality TV show. I forgot. Can I get your autograph?"
I laughed pushing him away.
We returned to the building for our trio practice. "We have to do this again soon." I insisted.
McKenna nodded and Jason smiled. "Of course."
