I put on my black sweats, white crop tee, and my Oreo Jordan's. I put my hair in a messy bun.
"Ready to go to 411?" Bee asked.
"Yup." I stood up, "let's go."
She had on grey sweats, a white tee, and nike gym shoes.
We left out the room and met Bre in the main lobby. She had on black sweats, dark purple crop tee, and some timberland boots.
We got in a taxi and drove to 411 Dance Studio. Bahja paid the taxi driver and we went inside to be greeted by Sean Bankhead, the best choreographer I know.
"Hey Sean!" I smiled.
He hugged me. "Wassup Zonnique"
"This is Bahja and Breaunna, were all in a group. We need help on a couple dance moves to win this talent show." I explained.
He nodded. "Wassup girls and I got y'all , come over here and get comfortable."
We walked in the dance room where there were hardwood floors and a big mirror, we put our bags and gatorades in the corner of the room.
"So, what's this group about?" Asked Sean.
"We don't know yet. " Bee signed.
"You girls are different, like no other. Sorta like TLC, ya know?" He said.
Bre nodded. "I agree."
"You girls pop, like OMG!" He laughed. "The OMG girlz!"
Bee gasped. "That could be our group name, the omg girlz, well being fire and pop to the stage like no other!"
"Aye I like you." Sean laughed.
"The OMG girlz, I like it." I said.
"Me too." Bre said.
"You look like a Babydoll." Sean laughed at Bre.
"Be quiet." She blushed.
"So, were fun, different, creative girls who make people go 'omg'." I said. "Great, let's dance!"
We all laughed. "So, first well just do some warm ups, you know stretches." Sean said. He played "It Won't Stop." and we began to stretch.
After the song was over we did a routine to Melanie Fiona "4 AM." We're not done yet, but so far it's good.

"You girls were great, tomorrow well try and finish the routine.." Sean said drowning his water.
I nodded. "Okay, thank you Sean your the best." I smiled.
"See y'all girls later."
We got a taxi and talked about today. "We did good." Bre said.
"I agree." Bee said. "So what should we do next ? We can't just go back to Morris."
"Your right Bee. Should we go to the studio?" I asked.
Bre nodded. "Yeah, let's go."

We went inside and Rich was there. "Hey Rich." I smiled.
"Zonnique, hey!" Rich said. "What you doing here girl?"
"Well there's a talent show coming up, me and girls need a songwriter and somewhere to record." I explained.
"Alright cool!" He said. "Rayan was just up here with a couple of guys."
"Wait a second, their recording here to?!" Bee panicked.
"Yeah from 11- 4." He said.
"Well were here 6-10, everyday for the next 4 weeks okay?" I told Rich.
"Alright." He laughed. "Let's make some lyrics!"

We all hugged each other tightly. They are like my sisters, their so cool and calm. They love me and I love them, they understand me and were all just alike.
"You guys are the best." Bee smiled, "Were going to win this!"
We all high fived. "We sure are." Bre laughed.
"Thank you Rich." I smiled.
"No problem, you girls are good. Keep this up and you could get signed." He winked. "Anyway, I gotta go home. See y'all tomorrow."
The Next Day
We woke up at 8:00 am. We all took showers and got dressed.
I had on my black and white striped Adidas pants, black Adidas shirt, and my white high top Nikes. My hair was in a ponytail with my white headband.
Bee had on some black yoga pants, pink Nike short, and some pink new balances. Her hair was in a bandu ponytail on the top of her head.
Bre had on some red Nike basketball shorts, black Nike half shirt, and her red and black Jordan's. Her hair was down.
We left the room and went to breakfast first. I got a orange juice and some waffles and we sat at a table.
5 minutes after eating and talking the guys came to breakfast, they were all in activewear clothes. They got some breakfast and sat by us.
"Hey baddies." Jacob smiled.
We all laughed. "What are baddies?" Bee asked.
Jacob shrugged. "Bad girls, who stay looking right."
I looked at Rayan, who was chewing his sausage. "Goodmorning Rayan." I smiled.
He nodded, didn't say anything. Just nodded.
I rolled my eyes and finished eating my waffles.
"So, how is the practicing going?" Craig asked.
"Actually good." Bre replied. "Yesterday, we finished our first song!"
He nodded. "Where do you guys sing?" He asked.
"Rayan's cousin studio." Bee said.
Rayan looked at me. "Your at my studio?"
"Well, yeah. I didn't know any other studio to go to and that was -"
"Why?" He asked. "Why are you there. Why can't you find your own studio?" He semi yelled.
"I don't know another studio around here Rayan that was the closet one and -"
"Zonnique just shut up." He said with a attitude.
"Aye Rayan, don't talk to her like that. Chill." Chresanto said seriously.
"Man shut up Chresanto, she don't even like you stop sticking up for her." He barked back.
Chres stood up. "It's not about her liking me, it's about standing up for someone who did nothing wrong."
I signed. "I'll just call a cab and wait in the main lobby." I stood up.
I walked away and started to shed a tear. Why would Rayan talk to me like that? He's so disrespectful. How could he? I thought he was a sweetheart.
"Star, wait."
I kept walking to the elevator and Rayan hurried to catch it before it closed. He looked at me and wiped my tears. "I'm sorry."
I moved his hand. "No your not."
"I really am Star, you know I didn't mean that." He explained.
"Whatever Rayan."
"I just been so worked up since our whole argument the other night, I missed talking to you but I didn't want to bother you." He said.
The elevator stopped. I got off and walked to the main lobby, he followed me. I grabbed the lobby phone and dialed a cab number.
"Star."
"What!" I yelled.
He kissed my lips deeply and put his arms around my waist. I kissed back slowly, his tongue asked for a entrance and I let him in. We made out until a horn honked. I looked out the door and the cab was there.
I texted Bee and Bre to come on and looked at Rayan. "I gotta go."
"See you."
He left out, I signed and walked outside and to the taxi. Soon enough, Bee and Bre came to the taxi. We got drove to 411 and I paid the driver. We went inside and greeted Sean.
"Hey Sean." I said.
"Girls, wassup! Y'all ready for today's routine?" He asked.
Bee nodded. "Yeah, let's go."
We put our things in the corner of the room. "Alright let's start off with the basics and stretches."
We did jumping jacks, laps, and stretched for a 30 minutes.
"Now, let's do this 4 AM routine one last time and move on."
We did the 4 AM routine and started a new one to Beyonce Partition. It was great, this was also my favorite song. It was more of a body language routine than hip hop that was alright.
4 Hours Later
"You Girls Did Good Today." Sean Said High Fiving Us All. "I'm Pretty Sure Your Going To Win That Talent Show."
"Thanks for believing in us Sean. We really appreciate it." Bee smiled.
We all grabbed our things. "See you tomorrow?" I asked.
Sean nodded. "Yup, same time."
"Okay cool." Bre said. "See you tomorrow champ."
He laughed. "See y'all."
We got in a taxi and began to talk and eat our snacks. "So, where are the guys going to rehearse their dancing?" I asked biting my sandwich.
"Craig said they're working with someone named David." Bee explained. "I head he's pretty good."
We pulled up at the studio. Bre paid the cab driver and we went into the studio.
"Hey Rich." I smiled.
"OMG Girlz." He hugged us all. "Wassup?"
"Ready to do this thang." Bee said.
We all went into the booth and sang Ridin Slow two more times and decided to move on.
"Now for this talent show, I was thinking you guys go above and beyond. Maybe preform 2 songs than just one. Remix it a bit." Rich explained.
Bre nodded. "That sounds good."
"Yeah, we can do that." I smiled.
"Okay, so do you girls have any ideas on this new song?" He asked.
"We should make a song that everyone can dance and sing along to." Bre blurted out. "Il sorry for blurting out but it's been on my mind all day."
I nodded. "What do you mean by that though? What could we do?"
"Remember when Sean said were like TLC?" Bee asked. Me and Bre nodded. "Well, they were a group that made girls love themselves. This next song should be about young girls having confidence on who they are."
"Perfect!" Rich said. "Make girls feel like they're worth something."
"Make them feel like they're baddies!" I smiled.
They all looked at me. "A baddie? Definition?" Rich asked.
"Jacob said it means bad girls who stay looking right." Bee said.
"It's settled." I said getting in the booth. "This new song is called 'Baddies'. "
