Dance For love
Chapter 1 (Part4)
Payton’s POV
Beep! Beep! Beep! My alarm clock woke me up
for breakfast at the orphanage. My parents left me here as soon
as they had me. I was one of the oldest in the orphanage and I
doubted anyone would adopt me. The only thing we could ever do
here was dance. That was where my passion came from. One of the
volunteers, Ms. Jenna, was a dance instructor so she taught
classes for us in our free time. When she saw how fast I could
pick up dances and how graceful I was she had me take private
classes. Then she sent me to the Academy, paying for it herself.
I guess you could say she is like a mom to me.
I brush my dirty blonde hair and put it in a
pony tail on top of my head. I threw on some ripped jeans and a
white v-neck. The only jewelry I wore was a heart on a long
silver chain. I walked out of my room and down the stairs to the
dining hall. I sat next to my best friend here, Elizabeth. She
was 15, a year older than me. We didn’t really talk at
breakfast. She was always sad when I left. I was the only person
she could talk to here. When we finished she came up to my room
with me to help me finish packing.
“Do you have to leave?” She
asked
“Yes, and you know how amazing the
academy is. It will help me become a professional dancer” I
told her.
“I’m going to miss you
terribly!” She said, tearing up.
“I’ll miss you, too! At least the
Academy is only 2 hours away. Some people live days away, so
I’ll try to visit more often. And you can text me on the
phones we got last year!” I told her.
“I know, but it will be hard not
talking to anyone,”
“If there are any problems, please text
me!”
“I will,” she
promised.
“Payton, it’s time to go!”
Ms. Jenna called from downstairs.
I hugged Elizabeth one last time and took my
bags down to the car. Ms. Jenna was going to be driving me to the
academy today. I waved to all the other kids, making sure to hug
the littlest ones who liked me and thought of me a big
sister
