A Dancer's Devotion, Part IV
Lucy flew to the studio. She breezed through her routine a few times, being extra sure to focus on her lines. After practice, Lucy took down her hair from its usual style and sat down on the studio floor.
She pulled up her phone's calendar and counted 2 days left until her next personal day and 41 until the performance. Lucy couldn't wait. She had put her new hiking boots on every day just to get a feel for them.
She'd been absentmindedly stretching whle imagining her first real hike, so Lucy was startled when she saw that it was already 7:30. She rushed home yet again and got ready for bed right away, eager to get through Friday.
When Lucy got up Friday morning, she decided to print out the map of the hiking trail she would be taking the next day. She had purposely chosen a beginner's trail. Lucy didn't want to bite off more than she could chew.
The day dragged on, as did all days before important events, and Lucy went to bed early again. The sooner she went to bed, the sooner she would be up.
Make tomorrow amazing. Please.

A Dancer's Devotion, Part III and 1/2
Hehe. Sorry. I forgot. A lot. I'll make it up to you. :D
***********
The week was dragging by. Lucy had her almost-epiphany on Tuesday, and now it was only Thursday. Her hike was all she could think about. Not even her favorite class, Calculus, could take Lucy's mind elsewhere.
Straight after 8th period, her last class, she raced out the door to her bike. Lucy had to leave right away in order for her to swing by Catchman's Sporting and Hiking Goods before going to the studio. Entering the store, she was a bit overwhelmed by the rows and rows of shoes and rackets and ropes and t-shirts. Nevertheless, Lucy drifted towards the hiking boots determinedly.
She saw the sets of pink, purple, and heeled boots in the women's section and couldn't help but feel dissatisfied. Sure, they look cute, but could she walk for a few hours in them? A pair across the aisle caught her eye. Lucy didn't let the fact that they were in the men's section deter her. She bent down and grabbed a 6. Too big. 5. Better. 4. Eh. 3. Too tight. 4, it is. Peeking at the price tag, she was relieved that she had brought enough.

Ooooh, cliffhanger. I'll have the rest of part IV up next weekend. ♥
