The Dancer

SCARLETT POV
were in the changing rooms, there people everywhere, frantically running around holding stray tutus an corsets, trying to find the rightful owners.

Im sitting in the chair having my hair and make up done.

Im nervous.

Very nervous.

Once I'm donw I thank the artist and follow Nic to get changed.

She helps me get my leotard on, which is extremely heavy as it's encrusted with diamonds.

I pull up my tutu and do a twirl.

I get Nic to tie my pointes as my hands are shaking.

"Scarelett your on in 10!" A voice shouts above everyone.

I do a odd hop skip thing as running is a big no no in pointes!

I get to the curtain in time for a quick dysfunctional hug with Nic and it slowly begins to rise.

The light blinds me, I hear a 'ahh' from the crowd.
The diamonds from my costumes reflect beautifully.

the music begins and I'm in full swing straight away.

I pirroette and slightly loose my balance but I pull my self together quickly.

Its a beautiful piece of music, which I hope I'm doing justice.

The music stops and I curtsy and bow and thank the musicians.

Backstage I'm engulfed immediately in hugs an kisses from all the girls.

Im helped to take my shoes and tutu off before I run into the hall and hug all the male dancers. They charge out there dressing room an lift me up cheering.

I grin as I'm set down, the door to the main event opens and Niall and Liam run in. They grin and hug me.

"That was incredible!" Niall says hugging me again.
"Yeah you did so well! The others will congratulate you later. " "We snuck away from Paul" says Niall wiggling his eyebrows cheekily.

We hug again before.

"Where's my amazing bestfriend who completely fucking smashed that dance?"
I spin to see Nic standing in the doorway in her leotard with her hair and makeup done.

She looks superb, she's doing a dark dance, she has a black leotard with tiny white flecks on it. She has her hair gelled back in a slick bun. Then amazing makeup, dark eye shadow with gems along her lower lid. Black lips and a pale white face.

I run up and hug her tightly.

"You were amazing" she whispers.
"and you will be too." I whisper back

I turn and wave to the boys promising ill find them later.

I follow Nic help her into her Tutu. It's black and slightly longer at the back. And she has black satin pointes.

I squeeze her hand, "smash it Nicky"


i watch from the wings. She is smashing it.

Overall the dances were amazing But hers was jut that notch higher.

She has elegance but is strong.

Everyones saying our dances were the best and.. Part of me believes them.
