Chapter 16 and 17
Danny knocked once Danny knocked once andopened the door.He looked around the room, her bra ,her pant , her hair net
,condom packs , his belt, his shirt, his Jean ,his singlet. the living room was so littered ..Danny felt disgusted He wanted to leave but he also wanted to confirm if it was really Jennifer or her
friend. Before he could take one step
forward. Jennifer walked out, she
wrapped a white bedsheet round her chest. the sight of Danny of killed her..her worst fear came to pass..she got caught. Tears streamed down her
eye..just then Kelvin walked out too…
Danny looked at him from Danny looked at him from hair to toe…. he dropped the flower for Jennifer on the couch and walked away..Jennifer chased after him and dragged him back.
” no danny stop , danny don’t turn your back on me ..you promised me..
” why , wasn’t I good enough , did I do something wrong…jennifer tell me why?
” Danny am sorry , its my fault, I can explain.
” just answer me , ..was …was this the first time ?..
Jennifer couldn’t talk tears just
kept streaming down ..
” then maybe the second….”,
danny asked wiping his tears ..
Jennifer still couldn’t talk. Danny placed his hands on his fore head for a while.
” it’s over , we are done.
” no danny please
” stay away .. from me …forever.
He rushed out Jennifer rushed after him. Crying and begging.it didn’t make a difference.

Danny stormed into his car Danny stormed into his car and his driver took him home. He looked up and dried his tears. Minutes later he later arrived at
his house he walked into the living room where his mother sat, He hugged herm
“mum
“I missed you how are you you look weak
“am fine
“and you even slimmed down
“no no I didn’t mum
” welcome my love
“where is Mr Hoffman
“he’s not yet back but he should be
“what about gretel
” she’s in,side
“all right
Danny walked upstairs to GretelDanny walked upstairs to Gretels room he knocked
” who is it
” why don’t you find out
” Danny
She rushed out and hugged him
“how have you been
” great
” all right
Danny walked upstairs to Danny walked upstairs to his room and Gretel ran behind him
“so how was your trip
” annoying
” why
“some annoying girl stood me up
“why are you so bothered do you like her
“no never she’s below my
standard i just wanted to appreciate her
“wow isn’t that a first I would
like to meet this girl who made you wait
” no you don’t want to she is
troublesome and everything she does is troublesome
” so did you meet Jennifer yet
“who
“your girlfriend Jennifer
” my ex
” why
” ask me no question and I will tell you no lies
” sily
She ran down back to her room Danny went upstairs. he dropped his stuffs and walked into the shower, Pictures of Jennifer’s room just filled his mind. He lighted a stick of cigarette and sat on the floor.

” must all women be sluts? I can’t believe Jennifer, she hurt me badly just when I decided to finally give this love another chance, it dropped me again….
I know i was busy but I still tried my best to be with her. I wonder when the affair started, this love was really never meant for me…it’s an exam I keep failing …
Soon Danny’s room was filled with enough smoke it could burn down the room. Gretel knew her brother was sad.

Just then Jennifer walked into the compound she rushed over to Danny and took his hands
” Danny pls can we talk

Celine stood up..
Mrs Mira and the children were still on the way but this Time they were close to the place they headed. The students chatted from behind and their noise kept getting louder
( Dialogue )
Gretel : can this journey get any longer
KeilA : we are almost there
Susan : KeilA were you already nominated as one of the finalists for the nationals
KeilA : not yet Mrs wills has not chosen yet
Gretel : don’t worry you will be one of them its 3 students from each school
KeilA : yea i hope so this means more to me now
Laura : I think Anna is competing in the nationals too
Kira : that’s not new I mean Anna always represents her school in the competition she is their main hope sometimes her school only nominates her without any back up but Gretel has beat her like 5 times if am counting well
Tania : this competition is gonna be hot kimoni will be there as well as kariana
Simeon : yea and the dancers have their own stage its built with glass you can’t leave till you are out of the challenge
Gretel : thats nice but kariana is in a wheel chair how is she coming
Susan : guess who queens high nominated as their number one
Tina : Matilda Jones I mean she beat Gretel twice she has 12 gold medals and she got a contract with a dance company in france if it’s not her who else she, did Tatianas dance in the open ballet challange
Gretel : yea we know her
KeilA : but Tatianas dance is hærd I mean its impossible for me
Susan : yea it kinda is
KeilA : I think am dropping out
Tina : but why
KeilA : I can’t win can’t you see Anna James, Matilda Jones, who knows who universal high would nominate or even Julianas ballet school only five schools are competing but they have they best dancers and I don’t think prestigious high can depend on me
Gretel : you are a great dancer KeilA I don’t know why you see yourself lesser some dancers can’t even do any one of the five award winning dances created by the best dancers in history but you can, you learnt your mother’s dance didn’t you
Laura : the five mystical dances ave head of them but I don’t know about them
Gretel : back in the days the five best ballerinas where asked to make their own music and dance from any short story of the past
Kira: yes and kariana being the the number one picked up a historical dance which was created by Amanda linory she took the story and learnt the dance She made it more beautiful it was known as kariana dance
Laura : wow
KeilA : but the dance has been banned and rated impossible
Laura : why
Keila: it has 3 most difficult steps people only learnt the choreography “when Kariana met the Prince” because it is easier but the solo is hærd because of 3 dangerous ballet steps a grand jete, a grand adage, and a triple back spin ending with an en pointe
Laura : scary
Susan : simeon knows the choreography well he did it in his junior high with Anna James the video went viral
Simeon : that was then
Laura : teach me teach Me pls
Simeon : you have to be a professional dancer to learn it
Laura : realy then everyyhing about karianas dance is impossible
Gretel : yea the first student who did it landed in coma as she hit her head on a rock the next died while Mrs kariana is in a wheel chair
Laura : what about kimonis dance
KeilA : that dance has an impossible en pointe its been said that kimonis dance can be done only by kimoni herself
Gretel : Anna James has been learning that dance since she was 14 if she finally nails it and does it in the nationals she would win the competition because the only dance higher than that is karianas dance which no one can do
Tina: the third is titianas dance its hærd but not Impossible it takes practice, that’s what Mathilda used to win the open ballet challenge
Susan : gretel can do it she did it in first grade
Laura : you are realy amazing gret
KeilA : the fourth is Anna’s mother’s Dance miliana James
It’s called millianas dance its very difficult too but amazing Anna learnt it when she was 9 she nailed it
Laura : what about the last
KeilA : my mum’s dance
Laura : wow your mum is one of the mystical queens too
Keila: they are not mystical its just the internet and Nick names
Laura : since your mum’s name is Angelina Williams am guessing linas dance
KeilA : no its her traditional name Marisols dance
Laura : can you do it
KeilA : yea just perfected it started learning it when i was 5
Laura : I wish I did ballet I would be recorded in history
Gretel : we are here people lets go down come on
The students ran down they went with Mrs Mira to where they camped
Soon Gretel was settled with KeilA and Susan they shared a room
Simeon on his own stayed with Sam and Stanley
And it was 3 person for each room
They chatted and fell fast as sleep resulting from their stressful journey …….
