Dancing With The Stars ☄

Oh to move like a ballerina as graceful as a swan softly landing on the lake, to glide across the stage like a ice skater smoothly moving to a tune only she can hear....
"WAKE-UP, Layla, you're daydreaming again"
Shaking awake to awareness, she looked around the room sheepish and realize she missed the question that was directed to her...
"Sorry Mrs. Z, uh what was the uh-nm  question" trying not to look too embarrass. 
"What I like to know is ...whats all the fuss about dancing with the stars?" Looking for some aide, she glanced around and focus upon her friend, sittin behind her, who only put his head in his hand while pointing to her phone that had apparently finished a video titled 'come and audition and Perform on stage called "Dancing With The Stars "
She couldn't help but cringe as she cleared her phone of the video and looked up to the face of her professor who seems to be still waiting for an anwser...
"Uh....umm.. I'm kinda ... eh... dancing with the stars is an honor and an opportunity to spread wings and show the world what you can do" layla said in a rush just as the school bell rang for the end of the day.
"Class, tomorrow is your exam that will show if you are eligible to go to college,  can you make it without daydreaming?" Emphasizing very strongly and looking at layla as they all shuffled by the professor's desk and out the door.
"Couldn't pay attention ... just had to turn on that video for the umpteenth time" gripped her friend as they got into his Ford ranger jeep and tore out the parking lot.
"I can't help it, Matthias, I'm about to audition for this and I got to get it...got to be apart of this moment...or I will not have accomplish ANYTHING" 
"Dancing With The Stars is for PROfessionals, people who have practically danced from their momma's womb. You have only started dancing and truth be told you don't really have the rhythm..."
"Thanks a Lot for the vote of confidence.." rolling her eyes at his audacity to be honest 
"You know what I mean...JUST because you MIGHT get in ... it doesn't mean you'll be partnered with HIM quote unqoute" as he dropped her off at the doorway to the audition. She scrambled out of the jeep and made sure she had everything to lok presentable, she turned to her friend that still sat in his jeep
"How about saying good luck and go break a leg instead of adding to the pressure" she told him
Sighing he responded"Ok, good luck and dance toward the stars"he winked and drove off.
Turning toward the doors, she squared her shoulders,  took a very much needed deep breath and walked in.
