Today is Olivia's dance finals; she is super nervous and to add the pressure there is going to be a surprise celebrity guest on the judging panel...little does she know there might be more in store for her than the grand prize.
AUTHORS NOTE: The video attached is the routine the group performed for the final.
I remove my music filled headphones as we pull up to the University of London, my stomach fluttered as I took in my view, the entrance is huge and there are all different groups standing on the field.
I spot the other eight girls in my group stood with their parents and run over to them. They see me and run over screaming until we meet in the middle in a big huddle, laughing you pull away,
"This is amazing isn't it" Bella said looking up and the entrance,
"I know" I said nervously looking in the same direction, "But we have been rehearsing this for so long we will smash it" I shout.
"YEAH!!" they all shout back.
We walk over to meet back up with our parents just as a blacked out range rover pulls up to the venue, everyone on the green turns to look and paparazzi that were once idle surround the car.
The driver gets out telling the paparazzi to clear a way, he opened the door for the mystery person and the photographers begin taking pictures surrounding the celeb, they are shouting a name but I can't quite make it out over the chatter around us.
Just before they reach the entrance a pap trips and falls making a gap in the crowd of people surrounding and I see his face, our eyes lock for just a second, he smiles at me making butterflies whirl in my stomach.
"Omg no way. Is that Tom Holland?" Megan questioned looking at me,
I nod my head slowly following him with my eyes as he enters the venue with his security.
Not five minutes later we hear group names being called to enter the building. We hugged our parents goodbye and followed the guide to our section of changing rooms as our parents made their way to the stage.
When we got to the changing rooms we locked up our bags and began getting changed into our outfits, they were camo themed with a black velour body suit underneath.
I looked in the full length mirror hung next to the lockers smoothing my outfit down and brushing my long ponytail out, I thought back to earlier on when Tom's dark brown eyes met mine wondering why he looked at me like that.
"I cannot believe the guest is Tom Holland" Izzy said as I was sitting down
"Did you see the way he looked at you Olivia?" she said turning to face me, as if she had just been reading my mind. "I think you are in there girl" she laughs.
"I don't think so" I reply rolling my eyes
"I'm pretty sure there are many actresses out there that are much prettier than me" I exclaim.

We are lining up beside the stage ready to go on as the group before us finish up. I peep out of the curtain and see my mum in the front row chatting to the rest of the parents, my eyes wander over to the judging panel.
Tom is sat at the end watching the group on stage, he's wearing a yellow turtleneck jumper, denim jacket and checked trousers, I have watched a few films with him in but I have never felt such a strong attraction to him until now, he looks so much better in real life; "Focus" I tell myself, "you are here to win a competition not long after a boy who is WAY out of your league".
The host announces our groups name and we run on stage taking our positions, the crowd cheering while we get ready, they quieten down and the music starts.
You are front middle to begin with so all eyes are on you. The crowd is cheering as we dance, the adrenaline rush is amazing, the nervous feeling seems to be replaced by confidence. Three girls walk off letting the six of us do our group part and as you look into the crowd you see Tom's eyes following you the whole time until you swap positions with the other girls off stage.
Controlla by Drake starts playing on the remix and it is our cue to walk back on stage, I am front middle again and I look up to see Tom's eyes on me with a smirk on his face but I just try to ignore it.
"I must be imagining it"
The song changes to Rude Boy by Rihanna and the whole group is on the stage again. We finish up the dance to the audience cheering as we run off the stage shaking from the adrenaline.
"OH MY GOD THAT WAS AMAZING" Amelia said,
"I know" we all screamed running back to the changing rooms.
Our parents were waiting for us with open arms, my mum embraced me into a massive hug, squeezing me tight "You did so perfect" she said to me with proud tears rolling down her face,
"If you guys don't win, me and that panel of judges will be having serious words" We all laughed, we said our goodbyes as the parents were making their way back into the audience, and we sat down waiting for the judges to deliberate on who wins.
