If Only It Could Be Easier
Chapter Eleven
Faceless Dancer Part Two
Meadow opened the doors and surprisingly enough the great advertisement of the 'Faceless Dancer' had paid off because numerous people had shown up. And as Arista looked out into the audience secretly she saw how crowded it was and you would think she'd be nervous but using a mask was comforting. The mask went around her head so she didn't have to hold it at all.
Clapping her hands "Your on in ten minutes my dear." She walked onto the stage with her microphone and started talking about the acts.
Arista felt someone tap her on her shoulder and turned around to see Josie and gave her a big hug "How did you get here?"
"Would I miss my new friend's opening performance? I think not! I'll be in the audience don't worry faceless dancer your secret is safe with me." She hugged her again and left.
Meadow's voice was loud "And now our opening act The Faceless Dancer."
Aristalyn passed Meadow and gave her a big hug "Break a leg sweetie." And Arista proceeded to her spot on the stage. The music came on softly at first and got louder as the curtain started slowly opening to show Arista standing at a B plus (one leg behind) with her arm crossed on her chest delicately. She started to dance and seeing her you couldn't tear your eyes away from her.
It just so happens some boys were in the audience after talking to Meadow who said Faceless Dancer was very pretty. Spot and Jack were sitting next to each other. Spot turned to Jack and said "Nice legs, she's built real nice."
"Yeah stupid mask she's probably a dawg or sumething."
"Great Dancer dough. Hey' rememba dat goil we kept bumping into I wouldn't mind seein her dance. She's built nice too."
"Yeah well don't count on it. She's highest class ya know?"
"Whateva."
"I wanna just go up der to take off the mask to see whut she looks like."
"Yeah we'll ask Medda."
As the music came to a close Aristalyn slid down into a split with her hand raised above her head in her ending pose. The audience roared with clapping. Arista got up and curtsied then left the stage. Meadow hugged her again "Great Job kid." Then went on stage and started announcing the following acts. Arista went backstage and got dressed and took off her mask and make-up. She crept back into the audience and sat in the bat next to Josie.
Spot noticed the new addition in the auditorium and started staring. Wondering if she was who he thought she was. He and Jack moved their seats to sit behind the two girls.
Josie leaned in and whispered to Arista "Those two boys are staring at you."
Arista turned around to face Spot and he casually said "Hiya."
"Hi."
"Who's your friend?" Jack said.
"That's Josie. Josie that is Spot and Jack."
"Hello." Josie said.
"Let's go before they suspect anything." Arista whispered and they snuck out while the two boys weren't paying attention.
Outside Josie took a rose out of her pocket. "By the way fantastic job!" she said handing the rose to Arista.
"Thanks couldn't have done it without."
"Yeah well you know I try." Josie said and the two started to giggle "How about a sleepover at my place."
Arista looked and the payphone turned around and said "Sure I'll call my aunt and uncle from here."
