This story will not have them being the flock, since I was trying to make a story of having the flock as normal people. I know that I haven't put the others in the story and I will try and put them in. Thank you for the comments!

Chapter 9

Saturday

Lissa's POV

Today was the day I was going to get my revenge on that little Max for taking away my Nick.

I was going to humiliate her at her audition or whatever and Nick for sure will come back to me. It was a fool proof plan. Nothing could go wrong.

Max's POV

Today was the day that my dreams would come true or maybe come true. I've always dreamed about being a famous ballerina.

I kept thinking about these thoughts until I heard my mother calling for me.

"Honey it's time for your audition."

"Ok mom I'm coming."

I went downstairs with a bag that contained my ballet outfit and went to the garage to get in the car.

I hoped Nick would be there by the time I got there.

I just looked out the window through the whole ride and thought about all the possibilities that could happen during the audition. One, I could completely mess up or two, I could do really well and get the scholarship for the renowned art school.

I was really hoping for number two and started thinking about all the positives which calmed my nervousness a bit. Though as we made it to the Burling hotel I got more nervous and scared about what might happen during my audition.

There wasn't any sign of Nick so far which made me more nervous if that was even possible. I followed my mom to the front desk to sign the forms.

My mom and I filled out all the forms and I was given a number, 24.

The lady at the desk told me to go up on the stage when my number was called.

I nodded and went to go into the changing room to change into my ballet outfit. I looked around to see if Nick came but there was still no sign of him.

I changed and went out of the room. Where was Nick? He said he would be here. What if something bad happened to him?

It seemed as I was thinking about all the possibilities why Nick wasn't here somebody had walked toward me and said "hey".

I turned around to see Nick and I hugged him so hard with relief that I bet he was in pain. Yep, his face showed slight pain. I said sorry and let him go.

"Do you feel ok?"

"Well besides me wanting to barf my guts out everything else seems to be fine."

"Don't worry you'll be fine."

"I guess."

We talked a little bit more and I told my parents that Nick was here until I heard an announcement for all the dancers to get in line.

I said bye as we split ways, Nick and my parents going to get seats while I went to get ready and get in line.

I saw other girls getting ready and saw one already go on the stage to do her audition.

The line went quicker than I hoped for and soon it was my turn after someone announced my number and name.

I stepped out to see a lot of people in the audience and didn't start dancing when the music started until I saw Nick's face. I felt more confident and started doing my routine. I felt good dancing up here.

Nick's POV

I went into a seat and waited for Max to be called up. For some reason all the other girl's routines didn't appeal to me. It felt like a really long time until Max's name was called.

I saw her go on stage and when the music started she didn't start dancing.

I was wondering why she didn't start dancing. Then I saw her look at me and she looked more confident and started dancing.

She was dancing so beautifully like the first time I met her. I just kept looking at her dance until I saw something shiny catch my eye on the stage.

Lissa's POV

I waited for the girl's name to be called out before I went behind the stage with a little bag. It seemed that security wasn't really tight here.

I waited for the perfect moment before I released what was in the little bag. They were small marbles. I rolled them out in front of her. It seems nobody noticed it or something. Maybe they were mesmerized by her dancing.

Nick's POV

Before I could say anything about it I saw Max going closer and closer to the shiny whatever thing it was until she stepped on it.

It was as if it went in slow motion. I saw Max slip but she didn't land on the floor. She was closer to the edge so she fell right off the stage.

I ran to her before anybody even got out of their seats. Her parents were right behind me.

Everybody started crowding around her and I tried to shake Max awake hoping that it was just a small injury and she would just wake up.

She didn't wake up.

A/N: How was it? Sorry if the falling thing wasn't that good. Please comment!
