CHAPTER 88

                                    

                                          
I'm so excited to be going back to dancing today! I've missed the squad so much it's unbelievable. Come on, they're basically family. Charlie has a meeting with Blair about what's coming up for them including the release of Keep Smiling. But seeing as Leondre is in Wales with Victoria until Saturday, they have to Skype him so he is involved too. Weird, I know. 
                          
Right now it's about 11am so I don't have dance until 4pm and that's when Charlie has his meeting too, so we basically have a free day so we've decided to start planning the wedding! Eeekkkk!
                          
"Morning beautiful," Charlie smiled as he sat down next to me on the sofa; I was watching Dance Moms.
                          
"Morning Charlie," I smiled back. 
                          
"You're up early,"
                          
"Charl, it's 11am, you've overslept," I giggled.
                          
"Shut it you, I hate it when you're right..." He blushed. He's so cute. I grabbed my pen, paper and iPad so we could note stuff down/research things. X
                          
"So are we going to start planning this thing!" I giggled. 
                          
"Right, so we already know that the colour scheme is a royal red,"
                          
"I wonder who your best man is..." I sarcastically said. 
                          
"Leondre... Duh," he said, clearly not getting the sarcasm.
                          
"It's sarcasm... Duh," I pointed out laughing. 
                          
"Oh!" Charlie realised. It's going to be a long day......
                          
"Where do you want it to be?" I asked. 
                          
"Well, I've thought of a few places. So why don't we visit them one day and decide from there?" Charlie suggested. 
                          
"Yep, that sounds like a plan. 
                          
We were planning for about 4 hours. We got such a lot done and decided upon. I'm getting so excited. 
                          
"Whoa, Charl it's 3:15pm; I really need to get ready for dancing," I said looking at the time. 
                          
"Go on, I'll pack everything away," 
                          
"Tarr babe, I'll be like 15minutes max," I said then I went upstairs to go get ready. I'm still trying to get used to living with Charlie. I love it, don't get me wrong. It's just different. Spending 24/7 with each other is so incredibly different to everyday for a few hours. But I love it all the same. 
                          
I decided to wear my plain black leotard with the lacy back, the one Charlie bought me for my birthday. I hadn't had chance to wear it yet. I'm buzzing to get back in the studio. Tiffany said that it would take a few weeks for the agency to call me so I'm looking forward to training hard. I did my hair in a cute neat bun with black ribbon around; the classic dancer look. Over the top, I added my joggers and a hoodie too. 
                          
Once ready, I went downstairs to see Charlie waiting by the door.
                          
"My beautiful princess," he smiled standing up. 
                          
"Thanks baby," 
                          
"Come on, places to be, people to see," 
                          
"Since when have you been into poetry?"
                          
"Haha never," he said locking up the house. Karen and Brooke had been at work and school all day so we basically had the house to ourselves.
                          
Charlie and I walked through the park to reach dancing and seeing as Blair only lives a few streets down, we walked majority of the way together. When it came to the part where Charlie had to turn down another street, he kissed me lightly on the lips and gave a big bear hug. 
                          
"I'll pick you up later and take you somewhere nice,"
                          
"Charl, I don't have any spare clothes,"
                          
"Don't worry, I'll pick you something out, love you,"
                          
"Love you too," I replied then he left so I continued to dance (which is only across the road). Not going to lie, I'm sceptical about letting Charlie pick my clothes. Last time didn't go too well........
                          
When I arrived at dance, I checked in and went thought or the den when Becca, Imogen, Nick, Kyle and Jemima came running up to me and tackled me into a massive hug. 
                          
"Emilyyyyy!"
                          
"Guyyyssss!" I said mimicking. We all laughed caught up a bit before class. I love being back. Miss Abbey had told them all about what happened in America and not to ask questions so no one said anything which I was glad. 
                          
"We need a squad selfie!" I shouted loading my camera. We all gathered in, I took the picture and uploaded it to Instagram. 
                          
"@emywalton:
                          
Reunited with the squad💁 Time to train hard💪"
                          
About five minutes later, Miss Abbey called us in for class, saying that she has some sort of announcement. 
                          
"Hello guys, Emily welcome back! Since you are our Senior Elite Competition Team, we have a competition next weekend!" She announced. 
                          
"Where is it?" Jemima asked. 
                          
"Bristol. The competition is also a singing one, so you will each be entered in both the dance and singing category. The group dance is called The Time We Spent Apart and is contemporary. We have a trio, that will be Imogen and Becca and Jemima and  your dance is called Here Come The Girls; it's a high energy jazz routine that I think will really push you and suite you. Finally solos going to Emily, Kyle and Nick. Kyle, your dance is contemporary and is called You're The Girl. Nick, a street style dance called Pump It Up. You will be working with Steve for this as he is our street dance teacher. And finally Emily. Yours is a lyrical and its entitled The Glow,"
                          
Wow. That's a lot to do in a week and a half. Wow. We can do it though! We can do it! However I realised that I will competing against Nick and Kyle in the Senior Division and judges always favour boys because they want to keep them interested in dance, which is fair enough to a certain extent but I'm going against two boys so the odds aren't exactly in my favour. But I'll make it work and try my best. 
                          
We started on the group dance and I can already tell we are on for a winner!
                          
Later on, Miss Abbey and Steve are working on Kyle and Nick's solo so the rest of us got ready to leave whilst talking about our singing choices. I had started my solo and it is amazing! I love it so much. 
                          
"Guys what's everyone choosing?" Imogen asked. 
                          
"Something I need by Ben Haenow. I sang it a Soccer Six last weekend," I answered.
                          
"Ghost by Ella Henderson," Becca replied.
                          
"And I'm choosing All About That Bass," Jemima replied. 
                          
"I think I'll choose Somebody from Lemonade Mouth," Imogen answered. 
                          
"I think one of you should choose Keep Smiling by Bars And Melody," someone spoke, I turned round to see...
