I woke up with so much excitement the other day, so many emotions raging inside me, happy, nervous, excited, after all this was one of the most awaited days and I had been mentally preparing for this one several times.

I gathered a few important stuff and was rushing to leave for school, my mom was running behind me for having breakfast, but with so many butterflies in my stomach how do I even have food. There was Nate waiting outside the house to drop me off and laughing seeing me and mom acting all dramatic. Well seeing him waiting outside and his ever-smiling hot face made me smile too. "Did I just say hot?" Focus Emma, He is your best friend.

I reached and looked around, it was a different vibe altogether. Everything was prepped up, big banners which read "WISDOM HIGH DANCE EVENT", Lights, props, costumes everything was so on point. My series of thoughts was interrupted when Tina came and dragged me to the auditorium, "Hush darling we need to get ready" and we entered the makeup and costume area. All this was so much movie like for me, getting my hair and makeup done, people actually gathered to watch me, it was all so dreamy, I did not want this day to end soon, but I want a happy ending to this one.

Since it was a contemporary form of dance, the costume I was wearing was a white sequined bodysuit that had few flairs attached at the bottom which would fly when we jumped or twirled making it look gorgeous. For the hair, they kept my hair down with few fishtail braids in the crown area and I must say it looked beautiful, well pretty much self-obsessed I sound but believe me it is the feeling that I am experiencing which is pure magic.

Few introductory performances were done and then they welcomed the selection panel of Footloose, and I just peeped out of the wings on the stage. Tina pulled me in and said "We are going to make it" I smiled at her and said, "Of course!"

It was our chance to hit the dance floor, We took our positions, we had a playlist set which consisted of a mix of three songs, the first one being someone you loved by Conor Maynard. It all went in sync, we had rehearsed pretty well, the leaps, the landings everything went well. The purpose was that the audience could clearly feel our emotions. After the act, I was super content.

Mom Dad came to see me and said "You were beautiful" and everyone congratulated us. I looked at Mike and he gave me an affirmative gesture. Then the announcement came up after all the acts, "now its that time of the year where we announce that one student from WHDT who will be getting a chance directly into the footloose competition, but...this year there are 3 lucky one's" My heart literally started racing after listening to this.

Will I make a place amongst the three?
