Kayley did a few jumping jacks to get her blood pumping once she reached the ballet studio. She didn’t realize how tight her body had been. She decided to take her time stretching, enjoying every single movement of the pull. She’d forgotten how nice it was to really concentrate on stretching. She did use to come early to do these stretches; maybe she’d get back in the habit.

At quarter to six, Madeleine walked in and practically jumped in surprise at Kayley.

Even though Kayley knew Madeleine didn’t mean to steal everything of Kayley’s, a part of her still felt resentful. But with the thought of the shoes in her closet, she also felt a little … well, superior to her all of a sudden. Superior and just a little snotty.

“Hey, what are you doing in here?” Madeleine asked.

Kayley smiled sweetly and said, “Ballet.”

Madeleine’s face turned red. “Of course. I mean … I just haven’t … that’s cool. Maybe we can warm-up together.”

Kayley smiled again. “You know, I think I’ve done the stretching. I’m going to practice some turns now.”

She took her shoes out of the bag—they seemed so odd now that she’d been looking at the old-fashioned ones—and tied them tight. She flexed her feet. The shoes felt so good, so right. That electric feeling came back. She felt like she could dance up a storm.

She stood up and did a trial pirouette. Just as she spotted, her gaze landed on Ophelia, a scowl on Ophelia’s pretty face.

She said to Kayley, “What are you doing in here?”

Kayley got off pointe and said the same thing she said to Madeleine: “Ballet.” Then she did three fouettés in a row and ended in a side split on pointe. The electricity practically crackled.

Ophelia gaped at her. Kayley smiled with her face toward the ground. It had to be the shoes.

Madame walked in, as did the rest of the company, and Kayley saw it was already five minutes to six. Madame called them all to attention and class began. Kayley had a good feeling about this.
