| Chapter Ten- Decisions �The dance studio is mine for the next hour!� Mercedes called out to Wade the next day, as she headed to her room. She went over to where her dance bag laid in the corner, to get her slippers. She reached into the bag, searching for them, when her hand hit something hard. She pulled the object out, to find a small orange medicine bottle. �The energy boosters,� Mercedes whispered to herself. She starred at the bottle in her hand, turning it over to inspect every inch of it. �The ABC is for the very best, and you will never be one of them.� �They�re energy boosters. They will give you all the energy you need. They make you better and stronger.� Mercedes quickly opened the bottle, dumping the right amount of pills into her hand. Holding onto them tightly, she went into the bathroom and got a paper cup of water. She then quickly swallowed the pills with the water. Mercedes then raced back to her bedroom and quickly put her ballet slippers on. She then went down to the basement. She quickly stretched out, then started practicing the one move that gave her trouble. With each try, Mercedes felt herself getting better. By her third try, she got it perfect. She smiled to herself, as she continued to do the same move over and over and making up her own routines with it included, as she kept getting better. |
