All I Danced For
Abnormal
This is how my story began.
It should be a normal day. In a normal school. In a normal dance studio. With a little bit of a different routine because I have a competition coming up.
I leave my room in my everyday look and walk into the kitchen.
"Hey mom." I kiss my mom's cheek and start making my sandwich.
"Hey sweetie, are you gonna train today?" She asks.
"I'll have to. I'll need to. Gotta work hard to get what you like or else-"
"You gotta like what you get, yes I know." She rolls her eyes.
"I'm just saying that you should enjoy dancing."
"But I do, it's my everyday escape to another world. To my own world."
She smiles and nods her head.
"Now go, don't wanna be late when Lauren's already there."
I smirk and nod my head.
I take my stuff out of the back of my closet and walk to the front door.
"Bye mom!" I yell before slamming the door shut behind me and walking to my car.
I put the bag into the backseat and get into the front seat myself.
I blast the music from my stereo and sing at the top of my lungs.
Okay, maybe I can dance, but I definitely can't sing.
I turn off the engine when I'm there and get out.
"There you are!" Lauren sighs as she walks my way.
"Hello to you to." I smile while I get my bag out of the car.
"where have you been?! You were supposed to be here 5 minutes ago!"
"What's 5 minutes in a lifetime?"
"You see. that's always you're excuse?!"
"With all your 5 minutes I could build a lifetime." She rolls her eyes as we walk into the studio.
I roll my eyes at her comment.
"I'll be ready in a few." I say at I put the stuff in my locker.
"You better." She turns around.
"Yes mom." I giggle.
I change into my practice clothes and put on different shoes.
I walk into the room and see that Lauren's already warming up.
"Hey, why did you already started?" I join her.
"You took too long."
"It took me 2 minutes."
"Plus the 5 that you're late makes seven."
I roll my eyes and we warm up in silence.
"The Usual first?" Lauren asks.
"Sure." I shrug.
We have our own little dance called The Usual. We made it as a joke because we were bored and it became our 'warm up routine'.
"How went your date last night anyway? With Kevin." I smirk and click my tongue.
"He likes to collect dolls." She looks in disgust.
"It's not that bad..." I try.
"Oh, but he doesn't collect just any dolls. He collects barbies only."
"Oh my god. No."
"Yes."
I laugh while I try to finish the routine.
"You know that the dance classes are switched?" Lauren asks when we have a little break.
"Uhh.. No."
"Well, they are."
"When do we have them now?"
"At Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday."
"Well great, how am I suppose to sneak away on a Sunday." I roll my eyes.
"Just say you have a project you need to work on."
"Every Sunday?"
"Well, maybe not." She giggles.
"This is serious!"
"We'll figure something out."
I sigh.
"C'mon, let's just stop for today and get some lunch at Lorena's." She smirks.
Lorena was one of our other friends who's mom owned a bakery/cafe.
I nod my head and we pack our stuff.
A few days later on Tuesday I sneak out.
I quickly say goodbye to my mom and walk to the front door.
Before I can even reach it I bump into my brother and my bag falls out of my hands.
My pair of training shoes fall out.
My brother gets a devilish smirk on his face and clicks his tongue.
"What would dad think about all of this?" He lets out a fake sigh.
"Oh, if he only knew..." He goes on.
"Don't you fucking dare." I threaten as I grab my bag and shoes.
"You know that I can't keep my mouth shut forever."
"You can try." I spat.
"But you can't only take. You gotta give to."
"What do you want?"
"You know what I want."
"I'm not gonna date that dirty scumbag that you call your friend."
"Well, then... Good luck."
"Give me 3 weeks, after the competition." I mumble.
He smirks and nods his head.
"Always a pleasure to do business with you, Mrs. Williams."
I grumble and walk out of the door.
That asshole.
I walk into the room and see that the rest of my class is already in there.
I sigh and walk to Lauren who's already warming up.
"Hey, what's wrong?" She asks, noticing that I was later than normal.
I'm never late for dance class, only when it's just Lauren and me.
"Someone kept me up." I mumble.
"Your brother?" She asks.
I nod my head.
"Just ignore him."
"I can't! He'll tell my dad if I don't date his scumbag friend."
"What did you say?"
"He gave me 3 weeks, until after the competition."
She sighs.
"We'll figure something out Saige, we always do."
I nod my head even though I don't believe anything of it.
"Good evening class. I see that you're already warming up. That's great but I have an announcement." Mrs. Calder comes in.
Everyone just calls her Ellie though.
We stop and look at her.
"As we all know, the competition for certain members are coming up and we're working all very hard for it. But those will need to wait from now on.."
Lauren and I expand looks as murmuring goes over the room.
"Because.." Ellie raises her voice to get back the attention.
"Because our class has been chosen to perform for a band called 5 Second Of Summer."
Again, people begin to talk.
I look over at Lauren and her eyes twinkle; she's been obsessing over 5sos for decades.
I can already hear her intern fan girl scream.
"The best has yet to come..." Ellie speaks.
"A few people will be handpicked by the guys themselves to join them on tour. Asia. Europe. America. The whole world tour."
Again. I look at Lauren and she is about to scream from excitement.
After class we go to Ellie.
"Ellie, when is 5sos coming? Are they gonna come here? In this studio? Are we gonna meet them?" Lauren fires.
"Take it easy." Ellie laughs.
"They'll come indeed this way and they'll judge you on your performance, accuracy, focus and that kinda stuff. Don't worry too much. It's just gonna be like a normal class, only then we'll end with a dance number. Besides, we're an advanced class." She smirks.
I frown, trying to figure out what she meant by that.
"I mean, most of the people here went to Julliard or another fancy dance school."
She says reading my mind.
"And you're the only girls in this group, which means that you'll be noticed way quicker."
I nod my head.
"But like I said, don't worry too much. We have time."
"How much?" I ask.
"They'll come Saturday next week."
"Saturday already?!" Lauren squeals.
"Yes, they have a very tight schedule and very little time."
I nod my head again.
We talk on for a while before we go home too.
"I can't believe I'm gonna meet 5sos." Lauren says.
"Well, this was sure an abnormal day." I giggle.
"What now?"
"Now we practice and practice and practice..."
"So we can go with them on tour!!" Lauren finishes.
I smirk and nod my head.
Doing what I do best. In front of thousands of people.
Almost seems too big to dream...
