THINGS CHANGE AT THE END...
I was so excited to start ballet, that i couldn't wait until the first lesson. I wore the appropriate body that my sister used to wear. I entered the class in silence. The girls there didn't seem friendly but I didn't care. I wasn't there to make friends anyway. I soon found out that they were all older than me. I didn't mind though. Our teacher told us to go to the locker room and change. As I said before, I had already wore my body so I didn't need to go with the others. Although, I followed them because I didn't want to be lonely in the class on my first day! I sat there and watched them change, untill one of them said:" Are you on the third grade?". I was on the second grade that year and for some reason I didn't want to tell them I was younger. And I felt embarassed when instead of lying to them about my age, I didn't speak at all! I kept looking at them like a fool. That was when the other girls talked too: "ARE YOU ON THE THIRD GRADE OR NOT?!" I was clearly shaking. They talked to me like they were about to kill me if I said that I was younger. I didn't talk at all the whole time they were looking at me and asking, untill I felt so embarassed that I ran out of the lock rooms and hid behind my teacher. The girls were ready, so they also got in to the class confused of what I did. I wanted to dissapear! My teacher looked behind her, saw me and said: "aww, looks like one of my students is shy!" WHY THE HECK DID SHE DO THAT??? I felt even worse, because when she said that, Î heard sly laughter coming from the girls mouths. Everything was alright in class, since I didn't talk to anyone. I ignored all of the girls and focused on what my teacher said and on my actions.
This is the WORSE part of all. During the lesson, the teacher said a lot of stuff so we do everything correctly. One of those stuff was: "ĪÎŋĪ ĪΎΞĪÎĩ ĪÎšĪ ÎēÎŋΚÎģΚÎĪ ĪÎąĪ!" Every time she said that, I would try to do it. The problem was that I somehow got "unfocused" and looked around me. I was stunned to realize that All the girls in class were thin. I was the COW for real in there. The embarassing moment was when my teacher came close to me and said that thing with the bellies. I tried to do it, but my teacher said I had to try it more. I couldn't so I said "Miss I can't do it!". All the eyes were on ME and I felt so bad!!! The sad thing is that I didn't know it would get worse. And it did. When my teacher said: "Somebody eats a lot in here. You should do a diet! You will never be a ballarina if you stay as fat as you are!". Yes, those were EXACTLY her words. "You know what? She is right!", I said inside my head, but that moment, the other girls started laughing at me, so as the teacher, thinking I find it funny.
I wanted to cry the whole time, untill the lesson was done. I ran to the car and said nothing to dad the whole time we were going home. I didn't give up though. Those girls didn't want to be my friends, then i didn't want to either! I kept having lessons, untill I saw that nothing was changing. I started to not want to go some days, untill they became a lot. I thought about it. Since the only thing ruining my expirience is the girls that hate me, I am gonna fix that! The next time that I had the lesson, I went into the class and ran to the lockers, where the others were. " The first day I had been here, I didn't talk at all, but you know what? I am on the second grade! Is it fine with you? I am one year younger than you. Is that fine with you? I just want to be your friends. Is that fine with you?". The girls stared at me in shock for a few seconds and I thought I shouldn't have said what I said. Although, all of them ran towards me and huged me tight. Aw, what a great feeling! " I honestly don't care how old you are. Wanna be bestfriends?", said one of them and I immediately smiled and shook my head in agreement. All of them said similar stuff and I said "yes" to all of them.
My problem was officially fixed!..
