Eternity

by Beauties Who Dance

Fifteen-year-old Paige Hyland is auditioning for a popular dance television show, and she made it. Unfortunately, she gets paired with her last choice of partners, Edward Mulvoy. Edward had been admiring Paige since day one, and she hated it. Once she was dancing with him, she felt differently. Could Edward possibly have his shot at Paige?

"Paige!" my mom was yelling. I opened my eyes, feeling the sleep still within them. The digital clock read, 6:45. My brow furrowed at this. That cannot be possible. "Paige! Wake up! You have fifteen minutes!" she reminded me.

I scrambled out of bed, the covers left in a shamble. Hurriedly, I threw on my dancewear, and brushed my hair back in a ponytail. Thankfully, I'd watched a YouTube video about a week ago on how to do a '5-minute make-up routine.' I followed the tutorial, step-by-step, and was done in less than five-minutes. 6:55. Grabbing my dance bag, I scooped up the box of cheerios and headed out the door.

"Paige, you look nice for only having a limited amount of time," my mom remarked.

"Thanks."

"You're nervous. Why?" she asked.

I replied with, "Who wouldn't be? After all, it is my first day." The rest of our car-ride to the studio was silent. Walking in, I feel this tension, like I'm not supposed to be here. Like everyone is better, stronger, and more powerful than I am. No. Negativity like from Abby's studio will not, and cannot happen.

While I'm strapping on my dance shoes, they announce, "Contestants, please come into the room, and we will assign you your partners.

Rushing into the room, I see one face that clearly won't amuse me. Of all people, that…boy that was admiring me at the audition was here. Him.

"Alright. Now I'm going to announce the pairs."

"Alivia and Johnny. Selena and Joey. Julia and Patrick. Paige and Edward…"

I peer to see who was my partner, and of all the dancers in this room, I see him pointing at me, signaling that he was my partner.
