the year was 1987. back then, a young girl a tan face with light pink lips and blue eyes the color of clean water and a thin yet slightly tall body and long blonde hair, was siting on a big chair. her mother, queen mary, was handing her her very own crown. Mary was an artist and wanted to pursue that dream with no interruption. her husband, jack nicolas the third was completely supportive towards her. lane, the daughter, was completely ready. her blue gown shimmered in the light, her blonde curls jumped and made her neck look nice. she had a big smile on, she was ready totake on the thrown. 'i will now give my speech! first beep beep beep beep
my alarm clock rang. i had dreamt the hole thing and sighed. i was not late for school so i took my time getting dressed. i put on a pink shirt and a pair of blue jeans.my hair was tied in a messy bun and my back pack clinged to me. i ran downstaris and stuffed a bagel in my mouth just as i was goin to leave.
turn to page two hundred in your social studies book, can anyone say who makes the laws, which branch? my teacher said. i raised my hand and answered. the legislative branch? i said with no hope waht so ever. ms.m (short for ms. mongiya) was noddin her head. correct, good job! i smiled and looked at my friend L (short for elizabeth)
the school bell rang and theat ment lunch time. i took out my brown sack lunch and sat at the usual table. marry, jane, cali, ron, jim, cathy, and me and L were the only ones at that table. just to the left of us sat the jocks and the cheerleaders. to the right sat the nerds
authors tip: if i put anything underlined, it means lane is thinking it!!
i do hat sitting in my table but atleast im not with the nerds!
in front of us was the debate team and as always, they didnt eat they would just take notes. i took out my caprisun and potato chips and had some. i looked at my PB&J and just shook my head. i stuffed it back in. whats wrong! you havent been eating lately and your so thin, i can almowt never see you! L said. i smiled. 'well..i have been trying to get to the table to the left of us and well...they are all almost one pund! L shook her head in disgust. eat! come on, i dont want to see a perfectly good sandwich gone to waste. i shoved my bag towards her. i am gonna go to the janitors closet and practice my dancing. eat my sandwich. L pulled me back. you dance better than any one else in this hole entire school, just show the cheer leaders already! i pulled away and left. when school was over i chcked the mail box and saw a couple of things

"mom mom! thisis it! this is waht i want to do during summer!" i yelled. sh etook off her headphones and stopped the treadmill. sh elooked at it and hugged her. "if you can afford it you can go, you can get a job work for two months, and by then, you can have one hunred dolars. se said. i hugged her and went online to see waht jobs were out there. i saw some ads for teaching dance and they need a dance coach!i printed out the address and ran to the studio. it had a big sign saying hiring. i opened the door and sawa lady at the front desk. "how may i help you?" she said. i was looking at some jb offers and saw you needed a dance coach so... i stopped hoping she would know the rest of my sentence. she smiled. third door to the left. i thanked her and left
a guy in his late twenties was sitting. 'dance." he said as if he knew why i was here. i put down my bag and went in front of him. i put on the song hot in here by nelly and danced. when it stopped he looked at me. are you willing to teach kids..will you make them stars!!!! he said as if he was the leader of an army. yes sir! i said. he smiled. welcome aboard....
i came there the next day an saw five kids. the man came in. "these are yours, make them awsome.." he said. i nodded and he left. 'okay! today we will learn the basic steps! the slide, the pump, and teh usuals. she put on the song crazy in love by beyonce and got herself ready FIVE SIX SEVEN EIHT! she danced a few seconds and stopped. she showed them the moves and by the end o the day, they knew half the song. she did taht for the next two months and finally was able to afford camp dance
it was the last day of school and i was ready. L met up with me by the front gate. "so, are you excited about camp dance?" she said. i nodded my head. "i can finally join the cheer sqad!" i yelled. she smiled slightly. my eyebrows curved. what s wrong? i asked. "you are finally going to accomlish your dream, but, with you with the cheer girls..." i hugged. her. "i will alway s be your friend..' i said. she huged me and we left to calss.
CAMP DANCE DAY....
i was in my cabin and i unpacked all my things. the camp counsler came in and said that i hae a room mate and my class starts in ten. i nooded and saw my roomie. she was completely gordeous and was so talented at doing her hair and i could tell she and i would be great friends. 'so, you ever been to this camp?" i asked. she shooke her head yes. i own this camp. she said. i gave her a mad look. scratch that, we will never ever be great friends she laid her clothes that she was going to wear on the bed and put them on. she wore a yellow t shirt and her skinny jeans. she put on her black flats. added to that, she put on yellow earrings and a sliver necklace her dad gave her just bfore he died. she tied her hair in a pony tail since it was prettty hot. she left the room and entered the mess hall. she saw kids all over and one guy with a boom box. he was dancing and some people joined. i just sat and watched them, even theough i could dacne good, i woud not show anyone. a girl and guy came in the room. the girl wore a black shirt and black hat with a black skirt and high heels. the boy was wearing a fancy black collard shirt and some jeans that were dark. he had on dance shoes. a girl that had brown hair came towards lane. she smiled and said that her name was emma. they shook hands and became friends. the girl got everyones attention and announced something. 'today, we will learn....partner dancing. everyone grab a partner.' she said. lane was going to pair up with emma but sh eannounced it was oppisite gender. she saw a guy that was about her age and he had deep blonde hair and bright blue eyes with pale skin and a slim but tall body. she went up to him and he said. "well, i have no choice so might as well" lane was so mad. how could someon be so rude! she looked at him disgusted and stood behind him. try to keep up. lane said. she twirled around him and jumped as he caught her. the song was over and amazingly....she didnt want it to end. she looked at him and it seemed as though he was mad. she walked towards emma and she had her eyes wide. "you talked to robert!" she said. lane nodded her head. "why...is he important?" i asked. "he is only the cutest boy in this camp!" emma yelled lane knew that in her mind but she would not tell her that she believed her. she rolled her eyes and said do you like him? she said. emma looked around and winked at her. i will take that as a yes. as lane walked to her dorm room she noticed a stero that was blasted so loud she couldnt hear herself think. she slowly walked closer and heard the door slam. she hid behind the bush and looked at who came out. it was robert. she watched as he left to the mess hall. she looked at her watch and gasped. "OH MY GOD!!! lunch time!" she ran to the mess hall and the line was small. most people already got their food. she grabbed a plastic plate and grabbed an apple and a carton of milk. she took some salad and sat back down. she sat next to emma andbit some of her apple. "here, this is all you have to know about camp/"emma said. she handed her a piece of paper and some letters were bolded, some sentences were highleghted, and at the very end, their was a picture of robert with hearts around him. lane stared at her and emma laughed.
THE NEXT DAY.
emma and lane met up every day to practice dancing and her dorm mate was always gone. someone knocked on the door. lane said i will be back and she opened the door. the camp counsler came in and he said that we are all meeting in the mess hall. we nodded our heads and went in. ronert was their on a big stage. he was smiling and started talking. "today is a very special day...DAY TWO OF CAMP DANCE!! today what we are gonna do is do a little dance off. starting is.... he looked on a piece of paper emma!!! emma went on stage and put in a cd. it started playing lets dance by vaness anne hudgens. she was amazing!
