“I could have him call you and come and get you, and show you the best four or five homes on the market – where are you staying?”“The Courtyar..., on Oak Street, room 1105,” Olivia answered.“How early is too early for you?” I asked writing that down.“About Nine am,” Roger said with a snicker.“I’ll tell him when I see him later about the grandparents that I want to adopt me?” I snickered.Olivia put her hand on mine and said, “I sure hope that your father knows what a great son he has!” They got up. We made the cut!We waved back to the crowd, and Claire took me by my collar and kissed me in front of everybody there.I knew this was likely to come back on me, but I responded and kissed her back causing the other dancers around us to start applauding as well. We broke up both equally embarrassed, but happy as can be — we made the cut — thirteen-year-olds had never made the cut!Before we left for the night, we were asked our preference for dancing placement. We deferred until the other fifteen. The first bell had already sounded and I was franticly scurrying down the hallways trying to find my homeroom class. Finally I came across a hallway that had a sign posted, room 160-179 and quickly headed to room 164. As I tried to make my way into the room before the second bell sounded, I ran over another girl who was in the same boat I was. Embarrassed by my actions, I stood there and pointed towards the door for her to go in first and the two of us quickly headed to the back of the room. They stocked me up with beer and weed and headed off for a day on the slopes, as I lay on my stomach unable to roll over. Each time I moved, shooting pains fired down my lower back and into my hamstrings. Gradually the alcohol and drugs built up and I dozed off.I woke from my drug-induced slumber to a gentle knock on the door. Before I could answer I heard it opening and the familiar rustling sounds of someone in ski pants walking in. Carefully, Amber appeared in my field of view, kneeling near.
