" nia it's time to get up we have to go to the cathedral for the day." i groan and sit up in the hotel bed i rub my eyes and get out the bed . i put my coach slides on i look through my bag and grab my bathroom essentials.

i head to the bathroom i close the bathroom door I turn the sink on and grab a wash cloth I wet it with hot water and wash my face off I open my essentials bag and grab my skincare products out the bag . I put on my face drops, moisturizer, sunscreen, and eye surge .

I put everything back in the bag i grab a towel and body rag I start the shower I take my clothes off I fold them up and put them on the counter it starts getting steamy in the bathroom I take off my slides and hop in the shower I close the curtain and grab my body soap that was in there I guess my mum took a shower last night .

I hum songs as I wash my body up I finish my shower by washing my hair " mommy!" I yell " yes Jania" " are we doing my hair at the cathedral today" " yes we are wash your hair !" I continue scrubbing my scalp with conditioner I rinse my hair out and turn the shower off

I wrap the towel around my body and grab my dirty clothes off the floor I leave my bathroom bag in the bathroom I unlock the bathroom door and walk out the bathroom " ma, what time we have to be there" " 9:50 so hurry up so you can get food" she says fixing her outfit.

I sit down on the bed my mom hands me my bag I grab my undergarments I put them on and get a comfortable outfit out my bag I put it on .

I press the number one I grab my phone out my back pocket I check my notifications I see that Ddot texted me it was a good morning I say it back and put it in my pocket. We get to the first floor we walk out the elevator we head out the hotel entrance.

" hey girls are y'all ready?" I ask they all say yes I grab my phone from my pocket to see it's 8:53am I look up when I hear a familiar voice I see it's my coach I run towards her and give her a huge hug. She laughs and hugs me back " I missed you so much Ms Jenn!" I say smiling " I missed you lots " she says pulling away

I help her with the food and place it on the table I grab my coffee n donut . I thank her and sit down with my mom " let me start blow drying your hair " I nod my head yes she grabs the blow dryer and plugs it in

I put my phone down once I hear the blow dryer stop working " let me do your hair so you can do your makeup." I nod my head she starts brushing my hair into a back bun . I give her the gel from my hair bag she grabs my hard brush she brushes my hair again with the gel.

She grabs the ponytail holder and wraps it around my bun sock she sprays hairspray on my head I give her my scarf she wraps it around my edges . I get off the floor I head to the table to do my makeup I had to do gold makeup .

I come out the bathroom my coach comes up to me and hugs me " you look gorgeous " I smile and go to my mom to get tan jazz shoes I put them on and sit down to stretch " mom what time is it" I ask doing a split " it's 12:50 " I sigh and continue stretching.

I finish stretching I get off the floor and head over to my coach " Nia the boys said their front and center " I smile and ask my coach " what time am I going on" " your goin on at 1 so let's start walking." I nod my head " mom come on" she gets up and walks with us to the stage .

I sigh and smile once they call my dance number.
