“Oh no!” I said as I searched through my dance bag. “I left the other dance shoe at home.” Our house was too far away so we had no time to get 36. That made me a little excited.
“Ms Lin has a basket of shoes,” Mum said. “She’ll have a 37 you can use.” I had no choice. I walked into class with a 38 heart.
That evening before bed, I said to 39, “I want to quit dance. Can I take piano lessons instead?” I could already 40 Mum’s answer: “You should finish what you agreed to do first.” But she said, “I’m going to let you 41 this time.” My eyes went wide.
“But what will your 42 do if you quit?” she asked.
“She won’t mind,” I said. “I don’t think she even knows my name.”
The next Saturday, I saw a woman with a 43 at the garden centre. It was Sylvia, my partner from dance class!
The girl smiled. “Hi, Kami.” She did know my 44! “Where were you yesterday?”
“Um, I helped take care of my sick dog,” I said, feeling a little dishonest.
“I hope she’ll be 45 soon,” Sylvia said. “I’m glad the dance programme is over soon.”
“I thought you liked dance,” I said 46.
“I do,” she said, “but being onstage makes me 47. My grandmother pays for my lessons, and she will 48 the performance. I’m afraid I’ll mess it up.”
“I get nervous, too,” I told her. “Don’t worry, you’ll do great.”
We said goodbye soon after, but her 49 stayed with me.
On Friday, I told Mum I was going to 50 dance class. “I want to be there for my partner at the programme,” I said.
“Good.” Mum smiled.
