"Kenzie! Hurry up! Abby is going to take our solo's away if we're late!" I groan, running down the stairs with my dance bag over my shoulder.

Dancing is my passion, along with singing but Abby can be mean. The other week, she gave my hip hop solo to Brynn, who got 3rd place. Then, Abby yelled at me, saying it was my fault that it placed 3rd.

Brynn is not a hip hop dancer. It was against her will to preform the solo. I felt bad for her, even though I was the one who got in trouble.

(i dont know if Brynn is good or not at hip hop. dont attack. ty)

I like to say that Abby has a favorite student, but in reality she probably hates all of us. The only reason I still go, is because of my friends. They encourage me to not quit.

I probably won't quit quit. Just move to another studio, but apparently Abby and my biological father, Kurt went to high school together. So, my mom wants us to keep going there.

"Maddie, please don't make me." I beg.

"Kenzie, if you take the corrections than she won't yell as much." I sigh. It's not like I ignore her comments, I just can't fix them.

"Now come on." We both walk into her white Range Rover.

"Why does she hate us?" I ask, as she drives out the driveway.

"I don't think she does. She's just helping us succeed in our dancing career, in her own way." I tap my fingers on her car window, widening my eyes in horror.

"Maddie!" She jumps.

"Kenzie! You scared the heck out of me!" She screams.

"Mads! I still have my gel nails on from Lauren's party!" I unsuccessfully try to scratch them off.

"Kenzie. Kenzie! Look at me." I turned to her, a scared expression on her face.

"It's okay. She can't take it away from you now, I was kidding about earlier. The competition starts in an hour. Calm down please." I took a deep breath.

Today is not a good day to get yelled at. Especially with the events of last night. I heard from Jayden that Annie has a major headache and can barely get out of bed.

Poor An's. I was glad to hear that the quadruple date went well. Other news, Maddie is going to Australia for two weeks after today. Looks like I'm going to be a only child for a while.

I'll really miss her. We haven't got in many fights recently, I guess she wants to leave on a good note.

"Maddie, you and Jack...seem serious." I gulp at the memory that came to mind.

"Yeah, I really love him. I think he's the one Kenzie." I smile. I'm glad Maddie is happy.

Everyone is happy now. Everyone has a lover, well minus Annie. Everyone except me. I'm not happy. I don't have a lover.

I close my eyes, hoping the butterflies in my stomach would go away. I always has those jitters before competing. They did for a while, but came back shorty, for a different reason.

FLASHBACK- J O H N N Y-------

"Are you sure?" He gulps as I inhale sharply.

"Yes. I am very positive that I do not want to talk right now." His hands grip the steering wheel tighter.

I tired not to think of the fact that Annie was in the back seat possibly drunk, or that it's 2 in the morning. I promised Maddie I would be home by 11. Which might be the reason why Johnny is giving me a ride.

Speaking of which, he is way underaged to drive. But it's too dark for anyone to know the truth.

"God. I'm sorry. This whole this is messed up." I stuff my face into my hands, embarrassed and tired.

"It was never supposed to be this way. I just," I paused. "I just thought of some happily ever after. Cliché, I know." I felt like crying.

"No, uh it's fine. I mean it's not cliché. It's okay to have thought that way." He obviously didn't know what to say about the current situation.

The awkward silence settled in and we sat there for a few minutes. I was to busy in my dream to notice that he had turned on the radio.

I stared at it, trying to figure out the song. He noticed and looked at m shyly.

"Sorry. You can change it." I shake my head not and face toward the window again.

Not long after, the road started becoming familiar and he pulled up onto Annie's driveway. I took at glance at her with the car mirror. She was snoring loudly.

It took much effort to get Annie in her home. First, John and I had to figure out her password and call Hayley. Then, after 5 minuets in the cold with a passed out girl, she opened the front door and took Annie.

Much effort.

Next, was my house. My eyes began to droop and many yawns escaped from my mouth. Thankfully, he pulled up to my driveway in time.

My hand made it's way over to the car handle, but just stayed there. It was like I was hoping for him to confess his love to me or kiss me, but sadly, no.

"Bye John." I leaned over to kiss his cheek and then step out of his car.

I didn't bother to wave, tired. I had quite some trouble with opening the front door, somehow knowing Maddie was waiting for me but not caring.

I was right. Maddie sat on the stairway, sleeping and drooling. The creaking of the door woke her up. I ignored he stank eye and passed her, muttering 'I'm sorry' and 'talk in the morning'.

I too tired to fight.
----------END-----------

"Mackenzie. Hey!" I gasp, as finger snapping noises fill the car.

I blink, "Sorry. Let's go."

The air was warm so when a breeze past by, I shiver. It was either that or because I could hear Abby yapping down the hallway.

"Good morning Miss Abby." Mads and I both say.

She ignores Maddie, slightly smiling and gives my fingers the stank eye. It doesn't matter how much I try to hide it, she will always find the flaw.

I stay silent, whispering a 'sorry'.

"Save it." She snaps and I slightly flinch. "Get them off or you are out of the group dance." I nod and hop over to Jayden and Brynn who I noticed were struggling to take off their nail polish.

Today has been a good day. I woke up early to a some what good breakfast made by Maddie, my parents at work per usual. Then, I watched Netflix for about 3 to 4 hours, only getting up for more snacks or to use the bathroom. Next, I took an hour or two to practice my dance routine. Then, quickly got ready for the dance competition also using the car time.

I got yelled by at Abby but everything turned alright when my fingernails became bare. Our group dance was successful, winning first place, also per usual. To my surprise, I won against Brynn and Jayden on my solo.

It's always neck to neck with all 3 of us. Sometimes, we run into Nadia and Ruby's studio but jot often.

I smile smile brightly, as we all began to walk off stage.

Things were good. A little above average. Besides the fact that my parents are barely home or that Johnny doesn't like me, life was good.

But my life doesn't like good. And that's when things really went tumbling down.
