i sat stretching with lilly and pressley, watching gia's duet practice with sarah, who was swinging for ellie.

"it looks fun," lilly whispered. i nodded. pressley rolled her eyes.

"more excuse for gia to take ellie away from the team," she said.

abby paused, "look at yolanda up there."

the yelling in the mezzanine was so loud we could hear it from downstairs. mom gave me a weak smile and a quick roll of the eyes. i shrugged. i'd sort of gotten used to it by now.

"we're not doing this. i'm not doing this anymore," abby said, waving her hand. she looked peculiar, with a white curly wig and an annoyed expression. it reminded me of a painting i saw at a gallery and i had to cough loudly to stop myself from completely losing it.

but my laughter was wiped off when i saw how upset sarah and gia were when they left. i saw yolanda come back down again.

"don't say that this- four people- i'm defending myself- how dare you?- your kid-" the discordant yelling was pounding through my head.

is dancing here really worth all this drama?

i blinked. i had never once thought that this was the wrong decision. never once regretted it. i had always had such fun, and now i was beginning to have second thoughts.

"you've already screwed your kid up."

"i have not! that is rude!" yolanda screamed. she slammed the door and we could hear a muffled, "i'm done with this!"

well.

hi farrari

farrari 🚘
how are u?

mikki🐁
eh.
idek anymore.
i mean, i've always wanted to be here, but
yesterday i sort of had this moment where
i thought, is this really worth it? all the
drama's just getting to my head. press and
gia got into a fight, which is weird, because
they usually get along really well. i get both
sides but i don't know who's side to be on.
sorry. i just had to get that out.

farrari 🚘
no, it's ok
what was the fight about

mikki🐁
gia's been hanging out with ellie
a lot and she's a bit...
posessive.
the rest of us haven't really talked to her.
press said it's not good for our team, but gia
just feels like she's being attacked.

farrari 🚘
i'm sorry

mikki 🐁
it was better when you were here.

farrari 🚘
thanks lol

mikki 🐁
thanks for listening :)

farrari 🚘

"mikki!" connor yelled. i dropped the phone and clamped my hands over my ears. press stopped screeching at once and laughed. i picked it up.

"connor, i can hear you fine!" i said, picking up my phone. connor rolled his eyes.

"oh my-" press hissed, "is that connor?"

"yes, say hi!" i said, turning the phone to press. she immediately went pink and shook her head violently at me.

"hi pressley," connor waved.

"hi," she squeaked, then shoved the phone away.

"connor! your face is so ugly press had to hide!" i laughed, clutching my stomach.

"hey!" connor shouted, "rude!"

"no, that's not true," press said, her voice muffled as she peeked from the closet, "i don't think your face is ugly!"

i waggled my eyebrows at her and she threw my pointe shoes at my head.

"i like her," connor said, laughing at me trying to pull the ribbons out of my hair.

press went pink again.
