I'm sorry!!!! You can all form a mob and get at me with Pitch forks and what-not, but then you won't have a chapter. Ah ha! You see the method to my madness!
Caitlyn's outfit and all the videos of the routines are on my profile.
Disclaimer: I'm not repeating it, go look at the other chapters for it.
Claire's P.O.V.
I was sitting in front of the stage and watching other girls perform. A girl that was performing to "Flawless Deceptions" had finished a few minutes ago and we were waiting for the next performer. "Lady's and Gentlemen, it's time to start the Senior Division! On deck we have Bailey Moore and now we have Caitlyn Geller performing to "Halleluiah"." As soon as the announcer finished my jaw dropped. Caitlyn came out wearing a green, flowing, dress type outfit and had on foot thongs.
The music started and she danced gracefully around the stage. I looked at Mitchie and she was also in shock. I looked at Lindsay and she just smiled. "You knew about this?" I whispered to her "I'm the one who entered her as soon as I saw her in class." She told me. Caitlyn finished and everyone, including me, clapped their hardest.
When the senior division was over it was time for the awards. The minis, petites, and juniors had their awards earlier. "Alright it's time for the awards! In the teen company section bronze goes to Amanda Write!" she went up to get her trophy. "Silver goes to Hannah Brown!" she did the same as Amanda. "Gold goes to Gina West!" she did the same as the others. "High gold goes to Kennedy Long!" I think you have a pretty good Idea of what she did. "Finally is platinum! It goes to Ms. Claire Gray!" when the announcer said my name I was frozen with shock. Caitlyn had to push me all the way to the front. As soon as I got my trophy I unfroze. "Thanks Cait." I told her. "No problem." She said and everyone went back to their seats.
Next were the Senior Company awards. I didn't really pay attention until I heard "Platinum goes to Ms. Caitlyn Geller!" Caitlyn was the one that was now frozen in shock. I had to push her up there. She unfroze as soon as she got her trophy like I did. We went back to our seats and jumped up and down squealing and hugging each other. When we were done my dad hugged me and Cait. Then my mom hugged us both. Then Lindsay and I hugged and finally I hugged Nate. He picked me up and twirled me around. I laughed. He set me down and I said "Wow. You're strong." "Thanks. I have to be so I can do all those cool tricks on stage." He told me. I just smiled.
Since it was night we went back to our cabins and got a good night sleep.
A/N: The End. No, I'm just kidding. There's more.
1 week later
It was one week after the competition and things had started to die down a bit. That is, until I got to dance class.
I was sitting stretching for ballet because that's what I had on the schedule today and was talking to Caitlyn when Shane came in. He was wearing basketball shorts and a wife beater. What surprised me though were the ballet shoes on his feet. Caitlyn and I just laughed. "What's so funny?" he asked and came up to us. "Oh nothing, just the fact that you're wearing ballet shoes. I never thought I'd see you wearing them." I said before I cracked up laughing so much I fell on the floor. "Yeah, yeah, yeah; just go to the bar." He said. I finished up stretching, fixed my pointe shoes, and went to the bar. Caitlyn was in front of me and I noticed she was also wearing pointe shoes. "You are also on pointe?" I asked her "Yup. This is so cool, a pointe duo!" she said. We laughed at her little remark. Just then the door opened and in came Tess. On her feet were pointe shoes. I looked at Caitlyn and she whispered, "this ought to be good." I laughed quietly. "Um... Tess, why are you wearing pointe shoes?" asked Shane "I wanna dance in them, duh!" she said. "Well, let's see you do this. Claire, Caitlyn, can you girls please come here and do some fouetté pirouettes?" asked Lindsay and we went to the center of the floor. "First let me stretch my legs a bit." Said Cait and we both did all our splits. "Ready Girls?" asked Shane from the stereo. We nodded yes and he turned on the music. Cait and I did about 8 of them then stopped. The whole class clapped. "Now Tess, you try." Said Shane. She went to the center of the room and tried to get on pointe but couldn't. She just fell down. I laughed but helped her up, although I don't know why. "Tess, seeing as you can't even get up to pointe you will have to wear regular, flat shoes until you are ready. When you are ready, then we'll talk." Said Lindsay as she helped Tess with taking off the pointe shoes. Tess put on normal ballet shoes and we began to do work at the bar. I had to sustain myself from laughing at Shane. When we were done we stretched out more then went into our adagios. We did a pirouette adagio then Lindsay was gonna teach us our combination for the day. "Okay guys. Here is your combination for the day. Claire, you already know this so you don't have to learn it, you can just help me teach it. It's a lyrical and ballet mix." I knew exactly which one she was talking about so I joined in with her. Shane turned on the music to the song "Down in the River to Pray" and we began to dance. When we finished everyone clapped. I looked at Shane and he was smiling. "You'll have to teach me that." He said "Then get over there with the rest of the kids." I told him. He did so and we began to teach.
Half way through class we had it down perfectly. Then there was a knock on the door. I looked over and saw my dad. I went over and opened the door. "Hey love, just popping by to give the class their middle of summer exam." He said "Middle of the summer exam, wouldn't that be like, a mid-term?" I asked. "Yes. It's to make sure Shane actually teaches you something." He said. "Hey!" Shane said offended. Dad ignored him and walked into the cabin. "Well, I don't know about Shane but Lindsay has been teaching us a lot of great dance techniques and combinations." Said Caitlyn. I just laughed. "Well, let's see something." Said my dad and we all got into place. I took the head so everyone could follow me if they got lost. On my right was Caitlyn and on my left was Meghan. Shane had to stand in back because he was so tall. "Dad, can you turn on the stereo please?" I asked and he did. We began to dance.
When we were done Dad clapped his hands and said "Well done! Very well done! I admire your choreography very much Lindsay. You should help us with parents' day." My eyes widened. I forgot about parents' day. It's when all the parents come to camp to see what we have learned.
On that note he left. That took up five minutes of class so we had 10 minutes left. "Okay guys, for parents day here is what we are gonna do." Shane said after everyone got quiet after a minute. "Both dance classes are going to put on performances. They will both be on the beach stage. This year we have something special. We are going to have the instructors as well as a few students also perform something. I do not know what we are performing so I will get back to you on that." Sane said "Actually Shane, I have the pieces picked out already." Said Lindsay "You do?" he asked "Yes. Claire already knows these routines so she will, again, be helping teach them. They are "Wickedly Defying Gravity", "Forever Fame", and the instructor on will be "It's Rainin' Men."" Lindsay said. "Why are we using all the routines from last year's competition?" I asked her "It's because I didn't have time to choreograph any new ones yet this year." She said. She handed Shane the disc with all the routines on them and class was dismissed.
As I was walking out of class with Cait, Mitchie came by. "Hey guys. How was your mid-term?" she asked "Easy. You?" We asked her "Good. It was also easy because it was vocals." She said. "Hey do you three wanna come and watch the videos of the routines we're gonna perform for parents' day?" asked Shane from behind us. "Sure." We all answered in unison then laughed as we walked to Shane's cabin.
When we got there Jason and Nate were already there. They were arguing about something and Kandi was also there. "What are they arguing about?" Caitlyn asked her "Jason thinks Nate stole his straightener." She said. I was sparked with an idea. I walked into their bathroom and sure enough the iron was right on the counter. I unplugged it and stepped in-between the guys. "You took it!" "No I didn't!" I just stood there for a while because they didn't notice me. I finally put it in front of Jason's face and said "You dumbo, it was right on the counter!" He took it and I walked away. "That was classic." Mitchie said, before doubling over in laughter. "Come on guys, lets watch the routines so we can have some idea of what to expect." Said Shane as Caitlyn took out her laptop. To Mitchie I told her "I swear that girl always has that with her." She just nodded in agreement as we sat down around it to watch.
