Perfect~ Maddie Ziegler (on hold as of 12/29/16)

Chapter 1

So before we begin chapter one I just want to say that this story takes place in Pittsburgh right before they move to LA. Brynn is not on the team yet. But the girls are the age they are now. Enjoy this story!
Maddie's POV
"Maddie! Mackenzie! Get down here it's time for dance!" My mom calls. I grab my dance bag and run down the stairs. My 11 year old sister Mackenzie grabs our water bottles and gets in the back seat. Me and Kenzie dance at the Abby Lee Dance Company. Everyone says I'm the best dancer there. But I'm a perfectionist, so I have to be perfect. My mom turns on the radio as we drive 30 minutes to the ALDC.
When we get to the studio, me and Mackenzie go to the den to put down our dance bags and take off our team jacket and sweatpants revealing matching black ALDC dance outfits. My mom goes to the room upstairs with all the other moms. Me and the other girls go into studio A to start pyramid.

"On the bottom..." Abby begins, "Is Jojo, Nia, and Kendall. In the middle we have Kalani and Mackenzie. Then on top, of course, is Maddie! Maddie you have a solo this week entitled "the one and only" it's a lyrical piece. Kalani you also have a solo in the next division entitled "bye bye, Arizona" it's a jazz piece."

Abby tells us that our group piece is musical theatre and it's called "acting club". We start off learning the group dance.
"Jojo! You're behind! Listen to the music! You know what, Maddie do the group alone and show everyone how it's done." Abby says. I'm used to her telling me this, she always has me demonstrate. I walk to the front of the room, and get in the beginning pose. A few minutes later as I strike my ending pose, everyone claps, especially Abby. I go to my usual spot in the dance, and we all do it together. About an hour later, We started learning solos. Kalani was first. Me and the other girls went to studio B to practice the group dance while Kalani learned her solo. After about and hour and a half, Kalani came in to get me. I went into studio A with Abby, and she taught me my solo. It was beautiful, one of the best solos I've ever learned in my opinion. But I still needed to perfect it for the competition this weekend. When dance ended, we all went to the den and hung out for awhile while our moms helped with costumes. I sat with Kalani and Kendall, and Mackenzie sat with Jojo and Nia.

"Hey, do you wanna come to my house this weekend after competition for a sleepover?" I asked Kalani and Kendall. "Yes!" They said in unison. "Let's go ask our parents." Kalani said. We ran out of the room to get permission. Of course it was a yes.
As time passed girls started disappearing from the den one by one, and by 11:00PM we were home. I took a shower, ate dinner, brushed my teeth and went to bed. There's another long day at the ALDC tomorrow.
