After her call, Anya went downstairs to talk to her parents. They were seated at the kitchen table, waiting for her to calm down.

Her mom poured her a glass of lemonade. “Did you call Rock?” she asked. “Did she make you feel any better?”

“The only thing that would make me feel better is if you said you changed your mind,” Anya said, perching on a stool. “I don’t suppose you have?”

“There are tons of dance schools here in L.A.,” her father insisted. “I know, I know—not Dance Divas. But plenty that are just as good. If you don’t want to go to DAW anymore, that’s fine. We want you to be happy.”

“Then let me stay with my team and my friends!” Anya pleaded. “That’s the only thing that will make me happy!”

“We’re in L.A. and you and your mother are in New Jersey. It’s not a good situation for any of us,” her father said, raising his voice. “We hoped you would be able to see and understand that.”

Just then, Alexei came in the door carrying his camera and a tripod. “Whoa,” he said, sensing the tension in the air. “Maybe I should come back later?”

“No!” Anya said, grabbing her brother’s arm and dragging him into the kitchen. “Stay. You get a vote, too.”

“A vote? What am I voting for?” Alexei said, helping himself to a soda in the fridge.

“Whether or not I stay in Dance Divas in New Jersey or move back here.”

Alexei popped the lid on his can and took a long sip. “In my humble opinion,” he began, “I think Anya has done really well with her dance team. If you’ve got a good thing going, I say stick with it.”

“You see?” Anya cheered. She could always count on her big brother to take her side. “That’s two for, and two against.”

“Regardless, our minds are made up,” her father said sternly. “I’m sorry, Anya. The best I will do is let you compete at Smooth Moves. But that’s it. That’s your last competition as a Diva.”
