Brooke's POV: I hear the sound of my alarm clock go off, i turn my head and its 6:15am, urgh. I slowly sat up as Paige brought me in a cup of tea "thanks paigeymack!" i said as she passed me the drink, "hey brooke, can i talk to you about something please?" she asked worried. "yeah course, sit down" i said, paige jumped on my bed next to me. "so, whats up?" i said as i took a sip of my tea. "well, im worried about today, miss abbey always yells at me, and i try not to let it get to me like you say, but its hard, it really upsets me, i try so so hard but, i just can never seem to please miss abbey", i put down my tea and put my arm around paige "aw paigeymake, dont worry sweetie, miss abbey hasnt got anything to yell at you for, we were the only ones who went to the bootie camp and vertually every practise, and the ones we missed was only because we went on vacation for 7days, everyone else went for 2weeks, if anything miss abbey must be impressed, mom booked a short holiday especially so that miss abbey wouldnt be mad, and i'll talk to miss abbey if you want?" "no brooke, i couldnt make you do that for me" "listen paige, yes i may be scared of miss abbey, but i dont care, if it could mean she would maybe stop shouting at you for at least one day, please paige, what have i got to loose ey? im already always at the bottom of the pyramid" "are you sure brookie?" "yeah paige, now come on, lets go downstairs and get some breakfast" "okay brookie" paige said as we jumped out of bed and ran downstairs.
"hey mom!" me and paige said as we sat down at the dining table "hey girls, here's your breakfast!" my mom replied as she passed us both a glass of apple juice each and some cereal "thanks mom!" we said in unison. We ate our breakfast and ran upstairs. I got a shower, brushed my teeth, put my hair up in a tight bun, applied a little foundation and mascara, i then went into my wardrobe, i put on my black bootie shorts with my black bra top on, i then put on my ALDC tracksuit jacket and joggers over the top. I put on my marroon converse, grabbed my phone and my dance bag, and ran downstairs.
"kids you ready?" my mom said "yeah!" me and paige shouted back as we ran out the door and into the car. I sat in the front with my mom and paige sat in the back. It was about a 45 minute drive to dance, i put my earphones in and listened to music the whole was there.
We arrived at dance at 8am. Me and Paige jumped out the car and walked into the studio, my mom followed us in "hi miss abbey" me and paige said as we walked in, paige carried on into the den and my mom passed me to go and sit upstairs, i slowly walked back to the desk, "hey miss abbey, could i urm maybe speak to you for a minute?" i asked worringly, "sure brooke whats wrong?" miss abbey asked, "urm, maybe in private?" "oh sure brooke, come on, we'll go in studio C" miss abbey said as i followed her into studio C. "So whats up brooke?" miss abbey asked as she sat down, i sat next to her "hi miss abbey, i was talking to paige before dance, and well, she told me that she really wants to impress you, she's been working so hard over the summer, been at dance as much as possible, she's been streching and conditioning every night for at least an hour, she thinks your dissapointed in her, and that she's failed you" "oh brooke, i know i may be a little hharsh on paige at times but i never want her to feel like that! oh no, i'll definately have a word with paige!" "thank you miss abbey!" "no problem brooke, go into the den and get changed, pyramind will be in 5minutes" "will do miss abbey" i said as i left studio C and entered the den, i said hello to everyone, i then went in to my usual corner next to paige and nick and put my bag down, i took off my joggers and shoes, but kept on my jacket as i was a little cold, i told paige that the conversation with miss abbey actually went okay, she seemed relivied, i gave her a hug.
"Girls! Pyramid!!" miss abbey held, me and paige ran in to studio A and lined up, the moms followed. "Right girls, so we are back to the competition season, well, long time no see for some of us hey?" miss abbey said sarcastically. She then continued to say "any way, on with the pyramid. First on the bottom, we have maddie, you didnt come to ANY practises for the past 5 weeks?!c'mon! Next we have Mackenzie, same for you! Next is Asia, Asia you've been almost as bad, you've hardly come to any practises, not good enough! Next is Nia, Nia you've been to as many practises you could but you were on holiday for 3weeks, too long! Moving on up the pyramid we have Chloe, chloe you have been here loads in the holiday, improving your skills, especially in tumbling which i am very impressed with! Well done. Next we have Brooke, brooke you and your sister have been here for 4 weeks out of 5, and your mom especially booked a one week holiday so that you wouldnt miss too much dance, also, we only got the silks brought into the studio 2 weeks ago, and you look like you've been working on them for years, i knew you'd take to them well, well done!" i smiled and replied "thank you miss abbey!", she nodded and continued "and at the top of the pyramid, Paigee!!" miss abbey said as she revealed the picture, me and chloe gave paige a big hug. Miss abbey continued "Paige, likewise to your sister, you've also been at the studio very often over the holidays, you've improved so much and have also took to the silks extreemely well!" "Thank you miss abbey!" paige said with a big smile on her face, i love it when miss abbey's nice to her. Miss abbey continued " So this week, we shall be attending in10sity dance competition, in Ohio! yes thats right, so we have to have our heads in the game, candy apples will definately be there and we NEED to beat them!right then, assignments, everyone will be in the group dance, its going to be a contempory piece, it will be featuring two girls who will be working on the silks, Brooke and Paige!" i couldnt believe it? us both featuring?! and using the silks?! yeah! me and paige gave eachother a hug, miss abbey then continued to say "Right i also have two solo's and a duet, the duet will be Chloe and Paige, it's going to be a contempory/lyrical peice about two friends growing up together" paige and chloe hugged eachother, they were so happy! Miss abbey then went on to say "and finally, the solo will be going to, brooke! it will be a lyrical piece using the silks!" i cant believe it?! a solo with the silks?! wow! "thank you miss abbey!!" i said smiling as chloe and paige hugged me, im so excited for this weeks competition! Miss abbey dismissed us all but kept paige and chloe to do their solo, i went into the den and sat down with nick, everyone else was in class. "Hey nick you okay?" i asked as i grabbed my phone out of my bag. "oh nothing much, hey can i ask you something?" he asked. "yeah sure nick, whats up?" "well i dont know if pauge told you, but i asked her would she like to go on a date with me, she said yeah but now im freaking out, i dont know where to take her or anything?!" "awe nick, dont panick, just take her to say the movies to a film she likes, buy the popcorn, have a laugh, be yourself! okay?" "okay thanks brooke! well i better get to my class, bye!" "bye nick!" i said.
I slided into over splits and unlocked my phone. I had a text off him:
Nolan: Goodmorning beautiful! hope you have a good day at dance! let me know what time you're at dance till, i'll try and see you tonight if i can! car shopping now! love you bby xxx
Brooke: Aw morning! I cant believe it nolan, miss abbey is featuring me and paige in the group number, us two will be on the silks! and she's gave me a solo, on the silks! im so happy right now but the only thing is, you know the dance group candy apples i told you about?well they're going to be there because the competition is in Ohio, i'm in dance probably till about 9 tonight, i have my solo rehersal last but yeah i'd like to see you tonight if we can, dont buy an ugly car! haha love you xxx
Nolan: Aw brooke! thats great! well done you'll do amazing! You'll definately beat them! dont put yourself down, i'll try to pick a nice one for you, haha, aw we'll try and sort something out then once you've finished dance? Xxx
Brooke: Yeah that'd be great, I'm going to have to go now nolan, gianna wants me to help with the little ones, love you bye xxx
nolan: love you xxx
I went into studio C to help Gianna with the younger dancers, there is about 20 of them so it can be difficult for her trying to get twenty 3-5 year olds to listen to you, so i always help whenever i can. I walk in and straight away, Clara comes up and jumps on me "Clara!" i say hugging her back, shes so sweet.
Once i'd helped out for about 40minutes, it was time for my acro lesson, so i left studio C, got a drink from the den, and went into acro with Paige, chloe, nick, brandon, auriel, payton, and a few others. We had a 2 hour acro class, and then it was time for lunch.
Me, Chloe, Auriel, Nick and Brandon all got into Brandons car and went on the lunch run, we drove 15minutes down the road to the sandwich bar, we ordered everyones food and drinks before driving back to give them. Once we arrived back at the ALDC, we all sat in the den and ate our lunch.
After lunch, it was time for the group rehersal. Miss abbey firstly went through what me and paige need to do on the silks, whilst we were practising on the silks, miss abbey taught the rest of the group the number, for a change, chloe and nia were at the front, and maddie was at the back. I do like maddie but i hate the way miss abbey favourites her, hopefully now, miss abbey is starting to realise the other girls are just as good, if not better!
We finished the group number at 4:15, it was looking great! I went into the den, i had a drink of water and it was time for my ballet rehersal. Me, chloe and paige grabbed our ballet shoes and ran into studio A. We had a 2 hour pointe class.
After we were finished, it was 6:30, we all went back into the den, all of our feet were really sore, me, paige, chloe, auriel and nina put our feet in the ice bucket. Whist my feet were in the bucket, i got out my phone, i took a picture of us in the ice bucket and put in on instagram, i got thousands of likes in seconds. I then went onto my texts, i had one from nolan.
Nolan: Hey sweetie, how's dance? I think i've found the perfect car, its a black 4x4 Range Rover, what do you think?Xxx
Brooke: Hey bbe! dance is going great thanks, feet in the ice bucket are always a good sign, haha. A range rover? Wow nolan! I cant wait to see it! Xxx
Nolan: Aw haha, i know i cant wait to show it to you, i've just drove it home, i think i've found another love;) haha not really, youre my one and only xxx
Brooke: Awe! youre so sweet! Well i best get going, its silk time! hehe love you xxx
Nolan: you and your silks ey? haha, love you cookie xxx
I took my feet out of the ice bucket, put my phone into my bag, and me, paige and nina went into studio C to work on the silks. We messed about doing some tricks and making up new moves on them, it was fun.
We then went back to the den at 7:15, i had a drink and got ready for my solo rehersal.
I walked in to studio C and was greeted by abby "brooke, just on time!" she said smiling, i smiled back. "right brooke this is your music" miss abbey said walking towards the laptop to play it, i sat down next to her. I really liked the music. "so what d'ya think?" miss abbey asked, "i love it miss abbey!" i replied "great!" she said as she stood up and walked over to the silks, i followed her, she explained what she wanted me to do in sections of 5moves, i tried each section by itself before adding them together. It was looking really good.
It was about 5 to 9, miss abbey wanted me to run my solo once more before i left. Just before she put on the music, i looked up to the window where all the moms sit and there, was sat, NOLAN?! i never knew he was coming, it made me so nervous, i got butterflies in my stomache. He gave me one of his beautiful smiles, i smiled back trying not to let abbey see though. I told hold of the silks, miss abbey pressed play, i pulled my self up on the silks and danced my heart out. After i'd finished , miss abbey had a big smile on her face as she held her arms out to me, i ran up to her and gave her a big hug, "brooke, that was amazing! if you dance like that at the competition on saturday, you'll be sure to win! and that boy up there watching you? has he got something to do with how well you performed just then?", i blussed a little, miss abbey continued "well i know i dont usually aprove of dating, but if that boy can make you dance as well you just did? hey he can come to every practise and every competition we go to!", i laughed "thank you miss abbey!" i said hugging her, i then ran upstairs to the viewing room, i popped my head round to see if nolan was there, but he was gone.
I went back down into the den, put on my ALDC jacket and joggers, i put on my converse, grabbed my over shoulder bag and went outside to wait for my mom, she'd gone home earlier to drop paige off to get ready for her date with nick. As i walked out, i seen nolan leaning against his car waiting for me, he looked up and seen me. We gave eachother the biggest smile and i ran up to him, he had is arms out waiting to catch me, i jumed into his arms, he spun me around before slowly letting me down, and we kissed. "well this is the best suprise ever!" i said with my arms around his neck and his around my waist, "well i wanted to come and watch you, i didnt make abbey mad at you did i?" he asked. "oh no, miss abbey said that even though she doesnt like us girls dating, she thinks it makes me put more emotion into my dance, she even said that she wouldnt care if you came more often and to competitions!" "well what can i say? im just too amazing!" nolan said, we both burst out laughing. "come on, let me take you on a drive in my new car" nolan said holding my hand as he walked me to the passenger door and opened it for me, i smiled at him and jumped in the car. He walked around and got into the driver seat "nolan this is beautiful!" i said, he laughed "im glad you like it!". I smiled, "hey brooke you hungry?" he asked, "yeah im starving!" "aw, come on we'll go through a drive through on the way home" "i'd love to but i haven't got any money on me, i spent it all on drinks" "who said you had to pay?" "nolan" "no brooke, i think i can buy you a takeaway dont you?" i smiled "hey have you got any cd's?" i asked, "yeah, in the glove box, pick which one you want and put it on" nolan replied, i looked through his cd's, i picked out jason derulo and place it in the cd player. Me and Nolan sang along to his songs until we got to the drivethrough. "so what do you want? your favourite? chicken nuggets and chips with a large diet coke?" he asked, i laughed "you know me to well!". Once we had gotten out food, we drove to my house.
As we walked in the front door i shouted to my mom "hey mom im back, nolans here, can he stay for abit please?" "yeah sure!" my mom shouted back. Me and Nolan went to sit at the dining table to eat our food. My mom walked in "hey guys, how was dance brooke?" she asked, "it was great mom, miss abbey didnt shout at me once?! i think thats a record" "haha thats great brooke! im going to pick paige up from her date with nick soon" "aw thats so sweet!" i said, "hey, me and brooke will pick her up if you want?" nolan asked, "are you guys sure?" my mom said, we both nodded "aw thats great thanks!!" my mom said as she walked into the living room. I turned to nolan "are you sure you dont mind picking her up?" i asked, "not atall" he replied, i smiled at him and we continued to eat our food. "come on then, we best go get paigeymack" nolan said, "yeah lets go" "where is she brooke?" "at the cinemas next to the mall" "okay lets go" nolan said holding his hand out to me, i took hold of it and we walked out to his car. We drove 15minutes to the cinema, singing along to jason derulo the whole way. As we pulled up, we jumped out of the car, nolan took my hand and we walked into the cinema to get paige. As we walked in i seen paige and nick saying goodbye to eachother, i pulled nolans arm and we hid behind a cut out of one of the film posters. "woah what are we doing?" nolan asked confused, "paige and nick are saying goodbye, i dont want to ruin their moment!" i said, "ohh, lets see what happens" nolan said, we smiled at eachother and peeped our heads around the cut out and watched.
Nick had hold of both of paiges hands, they were stood quite close to eachother. I could slightly hear what they were saying.
Nick: "paige, ive had a great time tonight, i dont want it to end"
Paige:"me to! i dont want it to end either"
Nick: "Paige?"
Paige: "yeah?"
Nick: "will you be my girlfriend?"
Paige:"yes!!"
After that, nick leaned in slightly to paige, paige then leaned in, they both slowly, got closer, closed their eyes, and kissed. Once they kissed, they both pulled away and smiled.
Me and Nolan then stepped out from behind the cut out and began to walk towards them i heard nick say "thanks for an amazing night paigeymack, i'll see you tomorrow at dance?" "me to, see you then!" paige answered as she kissed him on the cheeck before turning around and walked towards us. Once she reached me and nolan, i put my arm around paiges, holding nolans hand with the other, and we walked out of the cinema, just before we reached the doors of the cinema, paige turned around, smiled and waved bye to nick, he done the same back and we walked out the doors of the cinema and into the car, paige sat in the back. "so paige how was your night?" i asked, "great!" she answered, "well you can tell me all about it when we get home but for now, lets sing!!" i said as i turned up jason derulo cd to almost as high as it could go, we all sang along. "Hey guys, who wants a milkshake?" nolan asked "yeah!!" me and paige shouted, "okay!" nolan replied turning off the road to 'shakes and cakes'. "do you both just want the usual?" he asked "yeah please!" i said, paige nodded, "okay, i'll go in and get them!" he said "thanks" we both answered as nolan jumped out of the car and walked into shakes and cakes. "hey paige guess what!" i said, paige answered "what?!!" "nolan showed up at my solo rehersal today, i looked up and i seen him in the watching room, i couldnt believe it, he made me so happy!" "awe!! wait! what did miss abbey say did she freak?!" "honestly? no! i couldnt believe it, oh wait! here comes nolan, i'll tell you about it later!" i said jumping back around into my seat as nolan got back in the car, "here you go guys! i've got you some cakes as well but i thought we best leave them to eat until we got back home, i know how messy you both are!" nolan said, we all laughed "aw thanks nolan!" i said, "are you sure its okay if i come back to yours for a bit brooke?" he asked, "yeah, why wouldnt it be?" "oh just checking" we both smiled, "alright alright love birds, can we go home?" paige said, we both laughed and nolan started the car and drove to our house. We all jumped out the car and walked inside with our milkshakes and cakes "mom! were home!" i shouted. We walked into the living room, paige sat down next to my mom and dad, and me and nolan sat down on the other couch. We sat and talked for a while.
"well i best get going" nolan said "aw, i'll walk you to the door" i said. "bye nolan" "see you soon" my mom and dad shouted. "bye, thanks for having me!" nolan replied as we walked to the door. I stepped outside with him so i could say goodbye. "thanks for suprising me at dance today nolan, it meant alot" i said with my arms around his neck and his around my waist, "well i wanted to come and watch my beautiful girl dance" he replied, i blushed "you're so sweet you know? i just wish we never had to say goodbye, ever" "hey brookie, i wish we didnt either, but, i'll pick you up from dance again tomorrow if you like?" "are you sure?" "yeah" "aw thank you nolan!" i said.
Nolans POV: I slowly leant in, closing my eyes, i kissed brooke, she kissed me back, we kissed for 2-3minutes, before pulling away slightly, smiling at eachother, and we kissed again for a further 3-4 minutes. "goodnight brookie, i love you" i said kissing her on the forehead. "i love you to nolan!" brooke answered smiling, i smiled back and walked to my car. Brooke stayed at the door for me to leave, she waved at me as i pulled out of the drive, i smiled back and drove home.
Brooke's POV: I walked back into my house "hey paige, come upstairs" i said, "okay cookie" she said, we both ran upstairs, put on our pyjamas and paige came into my room "so what happened on your date?!" i asked jumping onto my bed, paige jumped onto it next to me as she said "omg brooke it was so amazing! as i walked in to the cinema nick was standing there, i walked over, we said hey and that, and then we walked to get our tickets, he bought mine for me?! i couldnt believe it, hes so sweet, and then, when we went to get sweets and that, he bought us both a bag of popcorn, a large drink and sweets! and then when i tried to give him some money towards it, he refused! and in the fil, it was really scary, so he held my hand and put his arm around me, he was so sweet, and then once the film hand ended, he held my hand, and then he asked me to be his girlfriend, and i said yes! and then we kissed! brooke its been the best night ever!" "aw paigey!" i said giving her a big hug. "soo, what happened with you and nolan eh?" paige asked, i replied "aw paige, he was so sweet, i was just about to run my number for the last time, when i looked up to were the moms sit, and there he was, i was so shocked, but i tried to hide it so miss abbey didnt see cause i didnt think she'd be happy about it, i done my number with the music, and once i'd finished, i looked over to miss abbey, she had her arms wide out waiting for me to hug her, i ran into her arms, and she said that 'even though she doesnt want us girls dating, if he makes me dance like i did then, he can come to any practise and any competition' ! i couldnt believe it! so i ran up to the viewing room, but he wasnt there, so i went back to the den, i grabbed my stuff, put it in my bag and went outside to wait for mom, i was just about to ring nolan when, i looked up, and there he was, stood outside his car waiting for me! and then, he took me to get some food, then we come back here, and nolan said that instead of mom having to pick you up, that we would so then we came for you, and then when nolan had to leave and i went outside to say goodbye he said to me 'i love you'" "ahhh! brooke!!!omg!!!! what did you say back?!!!!" "i said 'i love you to nolan' " "ahh omg brooke!! that is so sweet!" paige said screaming, i laughed, "oh wait! nolans text me!" i said, "what did he say?" "i'll show you now!"
