Chapter 1: a passion
Ever since I was a child I adored dancing The music,Movements hypnotizing magnetic. I aspire to be the best, a star Elena! I'm snapped out of my riverbed by the sound of a voice Rich and gentle I look up to see my best friend of five years Matthew he nudges me gently teasing. "Thinking about your dancing dreams again"? "Yeah I mutter He stands up with Exaggerated Cursty "guess what yours truly will sing for you he lifts a pinky "I swear it" he says I laugh that's "what you always say" I swear he affirms and I close my pinky around his.
Chapter 2: far from my dreams
*10 years later
That's not it that's not that's not it that's not it that's not it there must be something I'm doing wrong to be pushed behind an upstart who's "naturally gifted" I mutter over and over in frustration I'm doing the steps so why is she getting the praise? I've been in the background for years and she gets to be the lead right away. Marie Golden locks Elegant everything she's a thorn in my side I admit she's doing it correctly if not better and more gracefully than I could have done. She's in the spotlight and I'm not I've been here for years so why is she being cherry picked it's not fair I bite my thumb in agitation. Marie walks up to me and places a hand around my shoulder "Say do you want to go to the party with me? you did great I love your dance personally you should be the lead I'm much too clumsy" I beam at the praise marie has always been nice to me Despite the fact that everybody thinks she's superior to me I wish I was the one they were praising Should be the one they're praising. "Sure" I say with a half hearted smile I'll lend you a dress she says cheerfully.
Chapter 3: An angel
Im dressed upJust like a pretty doll But why is it that she lights up the room No matter what she's wearing I grip my glass tight sipping the wine as it does nothing to quell my Envy And I feel a warm embrace. Matthew? I ask. Ellie! The voice responds I don't even mind the fact that he continues to call me my childhood nickname at least he succeeded in becoming a singer What's my favorite dancer of doing here? Shush I respond I'm the only dancer you talk with a tease back as He says it doesn't change anything Say Ellie I'm almost ready to sing that song for you. I promised you he says Really It's not like you're going to get a chance to sing it's no one wants to sponsor me I say sarcastically Well then Ellie they're messing out because guess where the best is? he says Where? I ask "Right in front of me, your the apple of my eye Ellie" He says smuggly with a tug on my cheek he leaves to go mingle with the other guests I wipe my cheek with a smirk sighing at least my envious thoughts have stopped. I straighten out the dress in Marie gave me My turn will come now's on the time to be anxious. May have I have this dance? I turn towards the voice deep and rich.
Chapter 4: sponsor
I begin the dance I don't pay much attention to him as I see Matthew dancing with Mary It's really not listen to some when someone's talking Miss..? I turn to the man responding Elena I say I'm mr Ethan he responds I've seen some of your schools shows And I really really like your dance So what would you say if I sponsored you Really? I ask insurprise That would be great thank you. See me at oteil when your ready to get the contract
Chapter 5: the man in the office
Put it to the office Like the respected yes I possibly brimming with excitement After all these years I finally get a sponsor and by the looks of it is really really Rich And so I might even get to do a lot of stores of honey complete Dream of beings Into the office To see the man sitting there staring straight into the air I don't concern myself with that and Begin talking I'm here for the contract Oh yes love He stops With a flush on his face And Fakes a cough Sorry miss elena He says the word like something precious something hes been reciting. I sign the contract with him he does say something odd like I'll do anything for you a bit reverently but he must be the eager type.
Chapter 6:still not enough
Of other weeks I push myself to the limit Trying to get the lead role if the dance we are working on "apolites dear" and yet with all my work I end up as second lead but still at least I'm not a background character and she positively beams and I feel the familiar voice of envy. But miss I've been here for years I tell my instructor she brushes me of like a dog whatever whatever she's what people want to see she's special she says you can go practice with the other girls. I storm out angrily and after stomping around calm down and head to oteil.
Chapter 7: desire to be a star
I got second lead I say looking at the ground. Is it the lead role you want? He asks quietly I think over the question for a while and hesitantly nod then I'll get it for you he says resolutely. I feel a bit relieved by that and leave.
Chapter 8: a sweet nightmare
The news spreads like wildfire Marie the dance houses star is dead. I wonder if it had something to do with me and head to oteil. Elena he beams up at I don't acknowledge the fact he dropped titles. Do you know why Marie is dead. Is Elena happy? She gets the role by default now you can be the lead he says simply I can't understand the implication I don't want to. I can't let my sweet Elena be sad he makes to embrace me and I sharply recoil my hand hitting his face with a loud smack and instead of flinching in pain he giggles heheheh my sweetheart touched me she touched me I run as fast as I can from the place
