Chapter One “Girl”

“I’m going to be sick.” I thought to myself. In my entire twenty years of existence I had never been more nervous than I was at this moment. This was my big chance and I couldn’t mess it up.

“Right this way.” Mike Cronin said leading me through a doorway.

We entered a large dance studio. Lying in the middle of the hardwood floor were four young men. If they hadn’t been breathing so heavily I would have thought they were dead.

“Get up guys. There’s someone I want you to meet.” Mike said.

“Dude, if I get up I make no guarantees I’ll remain standing.” A blonde boy said.

“I second that bro.” another voice said.

Mike just laughed and shook his head as the boys stood up. “That’s what you get for slacking off during vacation. Guys this is Jordyn Witherspoon, your latest choreographer.”

“Hello.” I replied confidently.

The playful atmosphere was making me feel a lot less nervous.

“I’m Ashley.” The blond boy said shaking my hand.

“I’m Erik.” A dark haired boy replied.

“Jacob. Nice to meet you.” A boy with dreadlocks said.

“And I’m Trevor.” The other dark haired boy replied.

“Nice to meet you all.” I said. “Correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought there were five of you guys.”

Ashley nodded. “You’re right. Dan isn’t coming until tomorrow. His flight got delayed.”

“I see.” I answered.

“So where are you from?” Erik asked.

“Originally Ohio. But I’ve lived in Orlando for the past year.” I replied.

“Dan’s from Ohio.” Trevor said. “Maybe you know him.”

“Doubt it. Ohio is a pretty big state.” I said.

“True.” Trevor said. “But you never know.”

“So you’re working on the dance moves for ‘Girl’ right?” Jacob asked.

I nodded yes. I was afraid if I said anything I’d laugh. ‘Girl’ was not exactly my favorite song of the tracks I was sent.

“Cool. That song is lock-down.” Jacob said.

I nodded again, figuring the first day probably wasn’t a good time to insult the band’s music. Especially since they seemed to think the song was ‘lock-down.’

“So what were you guys doing when I got here? Not slacking off I hope.” I said with fake seriousness in my voice.

“Umm…we were taking a break.” Ashley said lamely.

I laughed. “Looks like I have my work cut out for me.”
