here was a girl named Faith, who wanted to be a
dancer. Her mother always told her that she was
born to be a ballerina. When Faith was 4, she
and her mother went to a ballet recital and ever since
ballet was her passion. One year later, Faith's mother
took her to ballet class. Faith was so excited that she ran
around the room in her little tutu and accidentally
bumped into a boy her age.
“Ouch,” they both said, groaning.
“Sorry,” he apologized.
“Oh, that's okay,” Faith said.
“Hi everyone, my name is Alejandra. I began
dancing when I was about 3 and have been dancing for
most of my life. I hope to make tons of friends here and
I'm ready for this Christmas play.” Alejandra said with a
smile.
“I'm Sean. What's your name?” said Sean curiously.
“I'm Faith and this is my mama. Mommy, this is
Sean,” Faith said happily.
“Okay class, go ahead and pick your partner.
And remember, that the Christmas program is called
Winter Wonderland and it's on December 21st.” Mrs. Trisha said.
“Hi Sean, it's nice to meet you.” She turned to
her daughter. “Faith, this is your first class, do you want
me to stay or wait outside?” she asked.
“Wanna be my partner Faith?” Sean asked.
“Do you wanna try and be partners with someone else?” Faith spoke with excitement, “And I saw the
look on your face and I know my best friend. You got a
crush on Alejandra!”
“You can wait outside. I'm a big girl now!” Faith
said happy and excitingly.
“Okay, if there are any problems come and get
me okay?” Faith's mom said.
“Okay mommy,” Faith said.
“Hey Faith, do you wanna be my best friend?”
Sean asked.
“Sure Sean!” she said excitingly.
So about 12 years later, Faith and Sean are still
taking ballet together and along the way of ballet in
Faith's years, Faith makes many new friends and helps
them too. She's met Kayla, Caleb, Beyla, Courtney, Charlie, Tony, Michaela, and so many more. After Kayla
moved, Faith was really upset though. One day in ballet
class, there were two more new students and these students were not all that normal. Their skin was pale, one
of them looked like they dyed their hair black, while the
other one was like a blondish-brunette, one wore all
black and the girl wore a little bit of pink here and there,
but mostly she would wear rainbow colors. Anyways, the
teacher goes ahead and introduces the two new students.
“Class, I know the Christmas play is coming up
soon but you all need to calm down because we have
two more students that will be joining our Christmas
program this year. This Alejandro and Alejandra. Why
don't you both tell us a little bit about yourselves. Then,
we will have everyone pick their partner, until the Christmas play comes up,” said Mrs. Trisha.
“Um, hey guys I'm Alejandro and I am
Alejandra's twin brother. I have been dancing since I was
three. I'm pretty cool with this Christmas program that is
coming up,” he said.
“What? Pfft.. No I don't,” Sean said, beginning to
blush and feel a little embarrassed.
“Oh, you know me! I won't tell anyone, I promise. Why don't you go up to her, introduce yourself and
stop being a coward?” she said.
“Fine, but come with me so we can all be
friends,” he said happily.
“Sounds good,” she said. On the day of the
Christmas play, they danced their heart out. Everyone
loved it and Faith and Alejandra got their first kiss that
night.
About 3 years later, Alejandra, Alejandro, Faith,
and Sean were all great friends. Sean's dance partner
was Alejandra, and Faith's partner was Alejandro. About
3 days before the Christmas play, something awful happened. It was on a snowy day and…well... I'll let you read
and see what happened to everyone.
At Sean's house, there was a little Christmas party and he invited his girlfriend and his best friends.
“I can't believe we've been dating for a month
