Clicking her phone off and placing it in her pocket, Maxie brought her gaze up to where Emily had claimed to be stood, noticing the blonde girl looking right back at her with a small smirk stretched across her lips, her arms folded over her chest as she tapped her foot expectantly. 

Max took no time at all in making her way down the steps and up the runway that lead to where her friend was waiting for her. The lack of stage lighting surrounding the two girls made the stage itself, filled with dancers from their troupe, seem almost magical, for the bright LEDs somehow illuminated every movement and detail possible, causing Maxie to envy the judges and audience for their almost perfect view of each dance.
