You're So Sweet

“Like, okay, so this was after men’s class, and we were walking to the bus stop, right?”
“Yeah. Wait, when was this?”
“Like, two weeks ago.”
“Wow, rebound much.”
“Shut up. Anyway, so we were walking, and I said, uh, I said —” Tristan stopped, suddenly awkward.
“Whaaat? C’mon, tell me. What? What? What?”
“Well, I was like, ‘I don’t know if you are gay, or straight, or whatever, but I like you, and I thought you should know that.’”
“And?”
“I don’t know! He just ignored it, and started talking really fast about something else. I know he heard me. I don’t know. He’s stupid.”
“What the — yeah, that’s super weird. Julian’s strange.”
“Yeah. Whatever. I’m over it.”
The bus pulled up to Alexandra’s stop, and she stood up. “Bye, love you, see you tomorrow. Don’t talk to Internet freaks.”

Kaitlyn, Taylor, Alexandra, and Julian are all students at the Vancouver International Ballet Academy where ballet and drama dominate everyone’s lives.
Kaitlyn was the star at her old school, but the competition at VIBA is fierce and her reputation as a prodigy is threatened. About to turn fifteen years old, Taylor is a bit of a scatterbrain. She’s got a lot of potential, but the teachers are frustrated with her lack of confidence, and her troubles at school aren’t helping. Alexandra has done everything right, and she’s determined to become a dancer, but the teachers at VIBA seem to be against helping her. Julian, at fifteen, loves dance, so going to a professional ballet school seems fun — even if it does take over every aspect of his life.
It’s only their first semester, but these four students will have to push themselves to their limits to make it through their first major performance, The Nutcracker, and continue on the path to becoming professional dancers.
