The final bell rang and student began to pour out of the school. Some made their way to their lockers and others ran to catch their bus.
Amelia and Emily on the other hand walked out of the school and started walking.
"It's so unfair, Emily! I can't believe that Mrs. Lewinski marked me tardy even after we discussed it." Amelia whined.
"Hate to say it Amelia, but I think she was going to no matter what." Emily sighed as she pulled out her iPod.
"I know! It's so not fair. So what if my feet weren't in the room? The rest of me was. That has to count for something."
"I know it really should, but then again Mrs. Lewinski is really strict when it comes to tardies and stuff." Emily put one of her earbuds in and started listening to her music.
"So Amelia, is your mom going to be home tonight or is she working late again?" Amelia looked over at Emily then pulled her phone out of her pocket.
"I'm not sure. It is Friday so she might be home... why do you ask?"
"I was going to ask her if she could take us to that musical next weekend. I asked my parents if they would, but they said no and I know your mom has been wanting to see it too so I figured maybe she could."
"Oh yeah! I forgot that Twisted was next weekend! I'm sure she'd love to take us! Actually my mom has been hinting at us going for about a week." Emily laughed.
"That's great! Is Vicky going to join us?" Amelia nodded.
"She wouldn't miss it! She's been dying to see it!" Amelia stopped at a dance studio, looking through the window. Emily looked in as well.
"I forgot she was a dance instructor..." Emily said, watching Victoria teach the girls inside different dance steps.
"It's only temporary. She just helps her mom and sister in the afternoon." Amelia opened the door and walked in and Emily followed. Amelia dropped her dance bag in a corner of the room and her sat her school bag next to it. Emily put her bags next to them and pulled out a notebook.
The girls sat on a bench nearby and started working on the story that Emily had been writing.
It wasn't long before the girls left with their parents and Victoria walked over to them.
"Hey guys." Amelia and Emily looked up at her.
"Hey Vicky!" Amelia said, slipping her ipod into her pocket. Emily waved lightly, returning to her book.
"I see Emily has some inspiration for that story she's writing." Emily nodded.
"Yep! I told her that listening to Ilrek would work!" Victoria laughed.
"Ilrek huh? I was wondering what band or musician you'd be obsessing over this week."
"Hey! It's not an obsession. I just really like her songs." Victoria smiled.
"Well lucky for you, my mom is using one of her songs for one of your routines for the next competition." Amelia stood in excitement.
"Any idea which one?" she asked.
"I think it's A Wonderful Night or something."
"I love that song!" Victoria laughed lightly.
"Oh Amelia, you are so amusing." Victoria looked down at Emily. Emily was curled up on the bench writing.
Victoria's smile faded as she looked back at Amelia. Amelia noticed this.
"Ah, what's wrong Vicky?" she asked.
"Nothing Amelia. I need to talk to you after your dance class... alone."
"You do? Why?"
"I can't tell you anything now. Just meet me behind the dance studio after your class. It's important."
"Um, okay."
"Well I'll see you then. I need to go take some pictures for my photography class." Victoria walked away and Amelia watched her for a moment before grabbing her bag to change for her dance class.
"I wonder what Vicky wants to talk to me about." She thought. Amelia walked to the bathroom and shut the door.
"I wonder what she meant by important." She said quietly, quickly changing in her clothes for dance class.
"Well, I'll find out later I guess." Amelia sighed as she closed her dance bag.
"I just wish I knew what was so important..."
