If Only It Could Be Easier

Chapter Ten Faceless Dancer

The day went by all too fast for Arista, she got up as normal, dealt with her Aunt and Uncle as normal, then went to dance AS NORMAL! But she didn't feel like she did the day before. She had butterflies in her stomach all day she was terrified of that night's performance.

At dance her and Charles worked on their dance as usual. He wasn't nearly as bad as he was earlier in the year. He was being pretty nice to her actually.

"Have fun last night?" he said as they were doing a warm up waiting for their teacher to come back.

"It was fun."

"Didn't see you afterwards."

"Had to go home, I actually like sleep."

"Its overrated really." They both started laughing.

Then they danced some more and as a dancing couple they had good chemistry. She wasn't attracted to him at all but when they were dancing they were really comfortable together. Arista didn't have to pretend he was Spot anymore.

During her lunch break (which she normally spent in the hallway) when she ran into Josie. Josie decided to take her out to lunch that day. The subject of the lady with the red hair came up in their conversation and Arista spilled her guts.

"But I'm running out of excuses to feed my Aunt and Uncle."

"I'll help you out just tell them that your with me. I'll meet them once so they know that I exist."

"You would really do that for me?"

"Sure you got talent and hey your making money."

"You can come over the day after tomorrow and sleepover."

"Sounds like fun." Said Josie happily.

Arista went home to tell her Aunt that she was practicing with Josie at her house. She told her that Josie has her own studio in her house (which is actually true) and asked her if Josie could sleepover. She of course agreed and it was time for her to get ready at Meadows.

Once Arista got there she walked around back stage and called out her name and Meadow appeared with something in her hand.

"Whoa that's beautiful!" Aristalyn said.

Meadow was holding her dress with extra sequin and a tiara with a small mask. (That just covers the eyes and nose) "Just found this tiara last night"

"I am so nervous."

"Don't worry, you can practice while the curtains are closed but I need to start to get ready to open soon. I will be back late when you are almost up.
