“ --- excuses, excuses . . . if you wanted to get home so badly, you should’ve done a better job at rehearsals. luckily, you’re all stuck here under my supervision until we perfect this entire performance, “ she announced, causing a batch of ballerinas to grumble and whine to their peers. this caused bethany to menacingly glare wherever she heard the unnecessary chattering, personally approaching the incompetent dancers to give her a piece of her mind. she’s got her hands on her hips, her luscious brown hair swinging around in a high pony tail as she was looking them over, the mere look enough to clear out the cacophony of gossipy mumblings. this high strung demeanour was expected from what her seniors have claimed to be the next prima ballerina, and bethany couldn’t rest just now when the preparation for the upcoming shows have been hectic.
of course, she hadn’t thought that any of them were up to par regarding her excellence in her craft, which alienated her from a majority of these dancers, in spite of how they were all coming from the same age range. this left a mark on bethany being somebody you either loved or loved to hate, and if she was truly planning to secure her rightful throne, then she had no plans of stopping any sooner. “ you can all have a ten minute break, but after that, i expect everybody to be here on time . . . or else, “ she threatened, watching some of them scurrying out the door while others were trying to catch their breaths. she might have been unfair, but she wasn’t just bossing them around and might as well be carrying the whole weight of her batch mates on her shoulders.
the sour look on her face was shifting like a flicker of a light switch, her features instantly softening when she turned to the direction of their newest photographer. she had disclosed to him how their previous one ended up in an accident, just not any further on the details and her involvement around this issue as he was now resting on a hospital bed. but bethany didn’t think that it would happen again, as she believed in the capabilities of this new guy, or perhaps she thought of how biased she was being --- given that she was developing a wee bit of crush on the other. she’s adjusting the tendrils of her hair out of habit before walking over to him, an apologetic smile enough to deliver that message without blatantly saying it out loud. “ i don’t mean to keep you locked in here, “ and she did mean that, but she couldn’t go around picking favorites with the risk of her kindness being taken for granted. “ it’s just that our show is in less than a week, and my dancers lack this sense of urgency to do any better, “ bethany ranted, not caring how some of the girls have overheard her. “ do you have some place else to be ? cause i can treat you out for some coffee when we’re all done. “ and now her voice had gone softer, to which only the two of them could hear, having no plans to cause any rumors with the company’s new photographer. ~ ♡ @rusforic
