Jenny was a fifth grader. She was considered one of the most popular girls in her class. She was very pretty, but that was not why she was considered popular. She was popular because she was known to be among the brightest in her class. She could do the most cartwheels in a row, but mostly, she had the talent to dance.
In February, she entered the school's dance competition and won the first place. Her whole class was there to support her. Since that day, she had been the class attraction. In December, the school was holding another dance competition, but there had been a change in the competition. The competition had to be done in pairs.
Jenny's class was looking up to her with high expectations of her winning again this year. On the other hand, Jenny was unsure of this competition outcome. She wanted to enter the competition, but she had never danced with a partner before. She decided to ask some of the boys in her class to enter with her. They all said no to her because they did not know how to dance. Jenny was becoming hesitant about joining.
She finally decided to turn to one of her closest friends, Carl. Jenny and Carl had known each other since the first grade. Carl was unwilling to join at first because he also didn't know how to dance. Jenny insisted. He eventually agreed to join the competition. Jenny was happy and relieved. However, she was still worried because she knew her class was counting on her to win this year's competition.
All she needed was some time and practice in order to increase her chances of winning. This time, it was going to be more of a challenge considering the fact that Carl was not a good dancer. The competition was in two months, and only time could predict her chances of winning.
After selecting Carl as her partner, Jenny needed to start planning for the dance competition at her school.
Jenny and Carl went up to the stage and were ready to perform.
