Cherri PROV:

I looked at my schedule while walking through the school halls. I looked for my first dance class. ' Pop '

I arrived at the dance studio and dropped my bag in the corner.I walked over to a empty area and began stretching. I watched how this girl did splits, bridges, and practiced different dance moves. I tried  doing a bridge her but instead I fell to the ground. 

"Are you okay? " I heard a feminine voice ask.

I looked up to see a girl looking down a me with her light blue eyes. Her blond hair tied up in pigtails She held out her hand. " Yea" I said grabbing her hand and standing up. She laughed then said, " Don't try copying her stretches " she said pointing to the girl.

" That's Raven, shes at the top of the class. She thinks shes the best just cause Ms.Rassia favorites her. " the girl says while glaring at Raven.

She noticed me staring then said,"Oh yea my name is Maiya" 

"My name is Cherri " I replied.

"Cherri? That's unique ... I like it "

She smiled. Then I smiled back. 

"Cherri !! "  I hear. I turn around. Then all of a sudden I feel someone hugging me. I look and its my cousin Nikki. "Hey, Nikki "  I say with a smile.

"Are you okay? " she asks. My smile turns in to a frown. Wow she already knows, news travels fast.

"Cherri? " she asks.

"Oh ,Yea sorry "

She gives me a relieved look. 

"Your in this class? " I ask.

"Yea I'ved always loved to dance " she says while twirling in circles.

" But I'm trying something different now" she says with a smile. 

"Your out of ballet?" 

"Yep, I'm so excited to try something new!" she says with a big smile. Cant blame her she had to practice numerous hours a week. I wouldn't like that at all.

I saw Ms. Raissa walk up to the front of the dance studio.

" Hey everyone and welcome to your first dance class; Pop" she said with a smile.  She scanned the room the eyed me, ' Everyone I would like to introduce a new student '

She gestured towards me with a smile. I walked towards the front of the dance studio.

Then I turn to face the teenagers before me," Um, Hi my name is Cherri Skyler. I'm 13 years old and I moved here from Georgia." I said trying to keep and small smile. I saw a few snickers at the name ' Cherri ' but I kept calm. 

 " Well Cherri could you show us a few dance moves." Ms. Raissa asked politely. I looked at her with a smile. She was a family friend. When Aunt Rachel opened this school Ms.Stacy Raissa was the first one hired aside from herself.

" Okay " I said then began this brief dance i came up with. It was for the song Poker Face by Lady Gaga. Ms. Raissa played the song on her IPhone connected to a speaker. 

Once I finished my routine she stopped the music and gave me a smile. " Your good i'm glad you came back to Flordia" she whispered in my ear before I went back to the back of the studio. I gave her a small smile then walked back. Maiya gave me a thumbs up when I got back, I also saw a few people smile at me while i walked back. 

We began our class. Ms.Raissa informed us that this week would be Rhianna week. We had a vote on what song to do and chose ' Where Have You Been '

***

A week later I actually got used to living with Aunt Rachel. Jade seemed to have got used to it too. In my dance classes I've felt free and i felt like I could just escape reality. Also in Ms.Raissa's class iv'e grown to be a match to Raven.  I have to admit I don't  think I'm a match to Raven but that's what Maiya and Ms.Raissa say. 

I was in dance class now doing our final dance to the song ' Part Of Me ' by Katy Perry. I moved to the rhythm and kept my feet light and swift. 

" 5 6 7 and Done! " I said in my head at the end of the routine. When we finished all of us where breathing hard. 

" Nice job ladies ", Ms.Raissa said with a big smile,'Oh and don't forget that the test to judge your ranking for this dance is this Thursday ' she said at the sound of the bell.

I walk up to Ms.Raissa and ask, " What test?" She looks up from her phone, " Oh Cherri, the test is to see who goes in the front or the back for our performance at the Franklin Theatre. We give a rank so if you get 10/10 then your in the front and 5/10 and below your in the back."

I small smile comes across my face. " So if i get 10/10 that means at kinda at the top of the class?" 

She replies with a smile and a nod. 

I was happy cause Raven has been treating me like crap since I transferred here. She's been tripping me when i dance and insults me. She and when I trip she says, ' Clumsy much? ' 

I walk out the door and start walking when I'm greeted by Raven, speak of the devil. " So you think your gonna get in the front huh?" she says in a harsh tone. Can she read minds our something?

"So you think people cant see your fake nose huh? " I comeback with. Her dark cold red eyes narrowed on me. 

" My nose isn't fake. My face is just naturally pretty unlike yours " she says with a smirk.

" Yea your pretty... from your toes down. Or should I say your pretty... pretty ugly " I say holding back my laugh,

She grunts then says, " Fine okay Ms. Fake since your so sure of yourself I challenge you. If I get 10/10 then you have to be my servant for an entire month."

" And I win you have to where a clown suit for a whole day to school, I get to pic it out, and you have to tell everyone on the announcements that you love Janitor Arnold " I say with a deviese smile.

"Yea okay don't be so sure of your self cause I'm going to win" she says while walking away.

I glared at her. You want a challenge? I'll give you one.
