*Ethels pov*
I eat a yogurt in the car to keep my energy up.
Eventually we get there but I'm still in my ice skating clothes so I go and get changed into:
With my aldc tracksuit on top.
Eventually we're all ushered into the coach where we're waiting for Mrs Abby.
I walk through to go and sit by Paige and Chloe.
'Hi girls,' I say as I sit by them.
'Hi.' 'Hey.'
'Do you want to watch hairspray with us?' Says Chloe.
'Of course I love hairspray,' I squeal.
We all sit down next to each other with a blanket over us.
After a while we fall asleep.
~with the mums at the front of the bus~
Eliza is sat typing away on her laptop when she's interrupted by Abby's constant shouting at the driver.
So she picks up her stuff and moves over to kelly and Christi.
'Excuse me ladies can I sit with u both I can't stand Abby's constant shouting.' Says Eliza.
'Yes of course,' says Kelly as she moves her bag.
~back to Ethel's pov~
We finally get there and see loads of my fans.
'Darling come here,' my mum says.
'Why are they here?' I ask.
'Idk sweetie but we're gonna have to call some security over,' she says so I nod and go back over to the girls.
~skip 1hr there's a path ~
They had to put the competition on hold.
The aldc girls and their mums walk out first getting a little cheer and then Abby.
Now it's me and my mums turn.
We see signs and our faces everywhere we sign some stuff and finally make it inside.
We go to our room and start getting ready it's solos first then the group dance but I'm not in it sadly.
I set up my stuff by Paige and Brooke's.
'Are you excited,' mum asks as she's putting on my lashes.
'Yes.'
'Remember what you get if you beat maddie?'
'Yes a new horse,' I reply.
I then go and put on my costume
I then walk out and all the girl look jealous because of my costume especially maddie.
My mum then does my hair.
'Perfect,' she says as I get up.
I start walking to the wings with maddie.
It's an awkward silence.
She goes on first her dance:
She did good but I know I can do better.
She walks past me but bumps into me so I just shrug it off.
My dance:
I see Mrs Abby clapping above her head so I know I've done good.
My mum stands up and starts cheering along with Paige and Chloe's mums.
While Melissa is sat there accepting defeat.
I walk off stage to see maddie there so I push past her 10 times harder then she did.
With that we start walking back to the room.
