Well, shit. Who knew Hannah had that kind of fire in her meek little body?

Her Aurora variation got off to a rocky start but in the end she was her usual, perfect princess self. You could feel the joy radiating from her as she danced, elegant and refined like a spun sugar ballerina. But when she came out for her Kitri variation, she exploded onto the stage, flirting with the audience like she’d been doing it all her life. I glance to my right where Tyler is sitting silently. Right now, I’m seriously regretting that I asked him to come back.

After Hannah took off with Lisa and Katy, I called and asked Tyler to come back, mostly because I was irritated at Hannah and I wanted to rub my boyfriend in her face just a little bit. Yes, I know, it was a bitchy move. Do I look like I care?

Of course, I had no idea she was going to come on stage and do…that. Tyler leans over to whisper in my ear. “Dude. That’s Hannah?”

I silently turn to face him with one eyebrow raised. He shrugs and grabs my hand to place a kiss on the back of it. We watch in silence until finally the last solo for the night is finished. It’s late and I’m starving—I can’t wait to get out of here. Tyler threads his fingers through mine and leads me out of the auditorium behind Mrs. O’Brian and the other parents from our studio.

“Okay, so dudes in tights? Hard pass. But some of the other stuff was cool.” Tyler is saying as we walk through the lobby. “I liked your solo best though, that was pretty epic. I liked that style better, tutus are kinda lame.” He stage whispers the last bit, adding an exaggerated wink for effect.

I smack him on the shoulder even though I have to laugh. I mean, I agree, tutus are kinda lame. And so uncomfortable. “Oh my god, Tyler, don’t say that too loud. You’ll get me in trouble!”

“What? I only speak the truth,” Tyler grins as we hover at the back of a crowd of bodies. All the other parents and dancers are waiting for the competitors to emerge from backstage. “Okay, but seriously, I had no idea that was Hannah. She was…” he drifts off seeing the look on my face. He coughs uncomfortably, “Trevor is gonna be so pissed he didn’t get to see it.” He smirks.

“There’ll be a video later, if it’s any good I’ll try and get her to post it.” I offer. “Then you can rub it in his face that you got to see it live.”

“Cool. So when can we eat? I’m starving,” Tyler looks around at the crowd of parents. It’s late, just past nine o’clock, and everyone is talking about getting dinner. I’m torn between wanting the satisfaction of having Tyler join us and rubbing it in Hannah’s face a little, and not wanting to deal with the interrogation that I bet Ms.
