I hadn’t consulted my tarot cards last night because I was blindfolded and being exquisitely eaten out by a gryphon. Although, I was fairly certain that if I had, they would have told me there was going to be some shit headed my way. Don’t get me wrong… I wasn’t trying to wage some sort of psychological warfare on Bellatrix with my leotard choices, but a lot of my dancewear had at least some red in it.

I couldn’t exactly just throw my clothes in the washing machine whenever I wanted anymore. There was a laundry room in the basement of this building, and it cost money to wash your clothes. Also, someone seemed super fond of constantly washing their bedsheets, and so half the time, they weren’t even free. Arden let it slip it was Mrs. Garcia next door. Yeah, the one who accused me of faking and called me a whore through the wall, among other things.

I wouldn’t sit there and wait on a down comforter to go through the entire wash cycle, then for her to wander down there to pick it up. No, I refused to wash the same three leotards over and over again because she thought she held the trademark on a color.

I was reasonably certain Bellatrix’s exemplary behavior in class had nothing to do with my choice in leotard. No, she knew she couldn’t come at Bevan anymore, so all her energies were focused on me. She finally realized her usual tricks weren’t working on me, and she changed her approach.

She knew Madame Lucinda wasn’t afraid of her either, and Marsden wouldn’t fire her, no matter how much Bellatrix complained. She’d been getting kicked out of class a lot lately, and that just shouldn’t happen in a professional company. If it had happened this often at any ballet school, you would have gotten kicked out.

This good behavior was refreshing, but it had nothing to do with her acting like an internationally renowned prima ballerina and growing the fuck up. In truth, she was doing what all predators did; was observing me in my natural habitat and trying to find my weaknesses.

She was pretty shitty at espionage and not coming at me with brute force. Bellatrix and Ivory were trying so hard to watch me, they weren’t even paying attention to Madame Lucinda when she was giving us combinations. Bellatrix wasn’t paying attention during battements. Thing is, you couldn’t fake it when you were kicking your legs in all directions because it involved angling your body at the barre, so people didn’t get kicked.

Bellatrix not only nearly got kicked in the face, but she also nailed Ivory in the stomach with her foot. Madame Lucinda screeched so loudly when that happened that the accompanist messed up and stopped playing. We all stood there, really uncomfortably, unsure of what to do next even if we had paid attention when she was teaching this combination.

Shit happened in ballet class, and on stage. It didn’t matter how famous you were or how close to perfect your technique was.
