One day Ana was at school eating lunch with her friends.

They were talking and laughing when Ana heard her phone buzz. Ana was quite curious because her family knows not to text her during school. "Who's that?" asked Nicole, Ana's best friend."I don't know,"replied Ana. "Let's find out." "It's an email from the ballet studio across the street.""It says that they're accepting new students 10 and up to try out to get in.""This could be the start of my ballet career!" "You and your ballet. You talk about it so much. I think I've learned more stuff about ballet by hearing you talk about it, then I would if I took a year of ballet," teased Violate." Very funny," said Ana. After school Ana raced home to ask her mom about entering for the ballet.

When she got home she asked her mom about the ballet. And of course her mom said she would have to look into it. By dinner the suspense was killing Ana. So she decided to ask her mom, who was in the kitchen cooking the almost ready spaghetti.When she asked, her mom answered in that mom voice, that basically says that's a lot of work, I hope she changes her mind. She said "Are you sure you want to do this?"" Yes I'm sure," said Ana. "Okay, then you can apply but do it after we eat because the food is ready," said Mom. So after Ana ate she ran up the stairs to her room and started applying.After that she texted her friends and told them about how her mom said yes.By then it was getting

late so Ana decided to get ready for bed.That night Ana could not stop thinking about getting in.She knew this could be the chance of a lifetime. And all she could do is wait for the tryout and hope she gets in.

Personalities

Last night all Ana could think about was ballet. But today she knew not to make a big deal out of it in front of her friends." Well if they don't want to hear about the competition then I guess I won't bring it up. I don't know how we even found something to make us friends. Violate likes sports and is in really good shape. Nicole is rich, really pretty, and loves fashion. And I love ballet,"said Ana talking to her self out loud.As Ana was thinking she thought about her and her sister Riley and how both their passions come from

their mom. Riley likes fashion like Nicole.Ana likes ballet. And their mom designs costumes for the Nutcracker. By then Ana was staring straight into space on her bed. She hadn't even started getting ready for school, and she only had 5 min. before her mom called her down to breakfast.When she snapped out of it she was rushing around.Not a great way to start a school day. After Ana got dressed she quickly brushed her hair.
