Macie Matthews had found out that there was a gym in town. Not that she was interested in exercising, she ran every morning, but she had also heard that there was a dance studio. It was impossible to dance in her house because of the noise level, and the fact that her brother, Marcus, was a sneaky little pest and couldn't help but annoy her - teasing her whenever she attempted to dance; it was the whole reason that she was afraid to get up on a stage. She had messed up on her ballet recital when she was young, and having people laugh at her was unbearable. The only person she allowed to watch her dance was Lukas, her older brother, because they had similar experiences.
Macie sighed with relief as she noticed that the dance studio was empty. Swiftly and quietly she closed the door and locked it. Thank goodness that it was quiet, the walls seemed to isolate her from all the buzz outside. She no longer heard the motivation of coaches and the heavy breathing of runners. Now it was quiet, and the dance studio was all to herself... what more could she ask? Finally, she was alone. A soft smile appeared on her face. Taking out tape from her coat pocket, she wrapped it around her toes (to keep them from blistering, wearing pointe shoes often blister feet), and slipped her feet into the pointe shoes.
Starting with en pointe, she began to dance.
