bianca pov
this morning i was was in a ballet private with maddie just working on technique, which wasn't difficult for me since i grew up doing ballet.
unlike maddie i was on pointe doing some turns and i managed to beat my record and did 30 turns on pointe
"no way! bianca did you just do all those on pointe?" our teacher asked me and i nodded with a smile
"bianca can do literally anything." maddie smiled and i smiled back and once our private was over we went into the den as the girls slowly made there way in
i was between chloe and maddie as they did thete hair "do you guys wanna sleepover tomorrow night? my blake's having hockey friends over and brandon's having baseball friends over." i asked them
"oh yea totally. i'll ask my mom after pyramid." chloe nodded putting bobby pins in her bun and maddie nodded "yeah same. are your brothers friends cute by any chance?" maddie asked and i rolled my eyes with a laugh bumping her shoulder
"that's not how you ask maddie. let's be surprised." chloe said and i laughed at the two as we heard abby call us for pyramid
we all walked in smiling still juiced up from our win last week and i stood next to peyton who was on crutches and i wore a black leotard with matching black shorts and i tied my hair in a low ponytail
"congratulations the overall high score winners." abby asked as we all clapped "i wish it was a great weekend, in orlando florida. it was for some, but not for others." she said looking from my sister and i them to peyton "i saw some things i never want to see again. have you ever heard the expression 'it's all fun and games until someone loses and eye?"
she got to pyramid and when peyton was first on the bottom abby went off on how peyton was going goofing around backstage resulting in her injury
"if you don't want her on the team, just kick her off!" leslie said and abby made up her mind without any hesitation "alright goodbye, your out."
the two left the room and told us very strictly never to do what she did backstage
Bianca, Birdie
Maddie, Mackenzie, Paige, Chloe
Brooke, Nia, Kendall, Payton
"and on top of the pyramid my two overall soloist and new team members, bianca and birdie." abby smiled as everyone clapped for us "i told you two last week, if you win you get a team jacket. and that's exactly what you did. you blew these two out of the water." abby said pointing to the ziegler sisters
"i'm gonna be honest these two right here. have nothing to worry about." abby told the room which was kinda tense and i honestly felt bad about possibly taking away a spot from someone who's been here way longer then me
"everyone needs to start dancing like it's the last time your ever gonna dance. i want more and more is the nolet sisters right here. dance like them and i'll have a winning team." she said which again it was tense and awkward
"this week we're going to Roanoke, Virginia and this competition is called dance troupe international. and i kinda heard a little rumbling, the wicked witch is gonna fly in." abby in formed us making everyone groan at the thought of the women
"the group routine is in titled 'the witches of east canton'" abby said making all the mom laugh and everyone clap and maddie would be playing the good witch who was apparently abby and the rest of us would be playing the evil
there were two solos and it was a rematch between chloe and kendall
once pyramid was over the moms went upstairs and we warmed up and started the group which was contemporary and after 45 minutes they started the solos
maddie and i sat together watching teen wolf and just talking "what are we gonna do at your house?" she asked me
"i don't know, we just got a trampoline in the backyard. and my dad set up a game room for us. we'll probably end up hanging out with the boys." i told her with a shrug and she nodded
TWO DAYS TILL COMPETITION
it was the next day and i was packing my dance bag in the living room "wait so bianca who are you having over?" blake asked me
"maddie and chloe. birdies going over to kenzie's." i told him and he nodded
"you guys have your rooms cleaned right? i set up the game room and stuff for when you guys get back. remember for you two it's a school night so go to sleep at a reasonable time." dad told us but the school part was directed at my brothers who nodded grabbing there sports bags
"ok girls let's go!" mom called and we all went out to the car heading to the studio and after i got there abby pulled me into studio c to teach an acro class for a mini class "point your toes." i reminded one of the girls in a split "beautiful."
once that was done i went in studio a to continue the group "bianca i'm gonna have you play cathy ok?" abby asked me and i nodded with a laugh
"we're gonna have a small little fight seen like we did in girls night out. bianca do a switch leap over to maddie and fan kick over her. maddie you arch backwards and duck. bianca stick your arm out and maddie grab by her elbow and swing under her. then both do a layout next to each other but hold arms." abby instructed and once we remembered it we ran it
"ok amazing maddie the swing her to the left and bianca calypso roll to the floor and lay next to brooke." she said and once we ran that we finished the dance which was only 2 eight counts left then ran it from the top
when the music was off we all started to catch our breath "did anybody practice after they left here last night?" abby asked birdie and i were the first ones to raise our hands
"ok look at me. gianna ask me a open question like the one i just asked." abby said and she nodded sitting in front of the mirror "who wants to win a million dollars?"
abby's hand shot up dramatically "me! i do! but besides these two this is what i saw." abby pointing to me and my sister as she slightly raised her hand "who puts there hands up like that? lazy slugs? get your head out of your butt and wake up!"
~~
when rehearsal was over we all changed and chloe maddie and i all piled in my moms car "ok girls i ordered pizza to the house." she told us as we drove off
after a few minutes we got to my house and walked in hearing all the boys in the living room and "oh their all here." i said sarcastically as we made our way to the living room
"hi boys." my mom smiled headed to the kitchen as the boys greeted them "did you guys eat all the food?" i asked them
"nope we left some for you guys." brandon said from the couch and we nodded going to my room where dropped our dance bags
i threw on a black oversized hoodie with some shorts and we went down to the kitchen "your house is so nice b." chloe said and i smiled
"thanks. let me give you a house tour. so my room and right across is birdies room." then we went down to the middle floor "my brothers room and down this hall the living room and kitchen the downstairs, it's like a game room and space for birdie and me to dance." i said finishing the tour
we then went back upstairs to grab pizza and soda and started walking downstairs "wait are you guys using the game room?" blake asked and i nodded
"we might use it soon." brandon told us "ok we can share." i said and we went downstairs turning the tv on and started an episode of victorious
we talked a little bit about the competition then about some random stuff until we heard some footsteps coming down and it was blake and three of his friends
"you mind if we use the other tv to play mortal combat?" one of his friends ( who was quite cute ) asked us "go for it." maddie said as they piled on the couch
after a few hours we all went out to the trampoline doing a bunch of tricks and games with the guys until we got tired
chloe maddie and i then went up to my room and stayed up a little to long talking and laughing then fell asleep at 2am
COMPETITION DAY
it was competition day and after leaving the hotel we got off the bus and made our way to the dressing room, passing the apples.
i smiled at lucas as we passed cathy's new team. after the solos got ready we went backstage and chloe and kendall marked there solos. we even noticed the new girl on cathy's team mark her solo
once those were done we went back in the dressing room and got ready for the group and while all the girls wore black with black and purple headpieces, maddie wore white and i wore gray.
we all threw our team jackets on and walked backstage warming up doing the aldc ritual and finally went onstage
after the first two eight counts i went onstage doing a front aerial next to maddie and continued the group
after maddie and i's little fight seen near the end after maddies front aerial she pushed an arm out my way and i did a backhand spring into a back layout and laid on my side with my head down as the music faded and we got a loud applause
after that we went to the dressing room to have lunch and when we went to throw our trash away we seen cathys team "oh hello bianca, i'm gonna guess you were playing me?" she asked me and i nodded with a smile
"what an honor. could i get a picture?" she asked me "sure."
she handed her phone to one of the dad on her team and we smiled as he took a few pictures. after that the girls and all put leggings on put kept our costume tops on with our team jackets over.
AWARDS
when the music faded from the little dance party we all sat down as solos were announced. but since here chloe was in intermediate and kendall was in juniors with mckenzie ( the cadc girl ) so only the overalls really mattered
chloe got 1st in her division and 1st overall with a choreography award and kendall got 2nd in junior and 5th overall while mckenzie got 1st in junior and 2nd overall
i hugged chloe when she sat down and then it was time for overall junior small group awards "and 2nd in overall junior small group is wild party!" nick from cadc then stood up taking the award
"and now ladies and gentlemen, receiving our overall first place junior age division for small group level two, number 194 the witches of east canton, the abby lee dance company!"
we all jumped up cheering while paige grabbed the trophy as we took a bow and took a few pictures and afterwards we all ran in the dressing room cheering and hugging our moms and abby
"ok girls for wash your faces and change." abby told us and we grabbed our change of clothes going to the bathroom running into a sad looking cadc team
