When Lila came home from school, she went straight to her room to change out of one uniform into another. She shrugged out of her clothing and traded it for light pink tights, and a strappy white leotard. Since she had to walk herself to the dance studio, Lila added a pair of cropped pink shorts and a loose one-shoulder cropped belly top, finishing it off with bright pink legwarmers. Once she was dressed and her long hair braided and twisted into a neat bun, she all but danced down the stairs, trainers on her feet and ballet shoes slung over her shoulder.<br/><br/>Before leaving she had to see her mother which always tended to put them both in a mood. As she did every day, she asked her mother if the letter had come in yet. It resulted in quite the row. Did she care about nothing else? Wasn't she going to stay home and share a meal with her mother? There were words spoken and rolling of eyes, her mother outlining a new diet to get rid of the imaginary fat on Lila's body. Nobody wants a chubby girl.<br/><br/>Lila ignored the confrontation as best she could and finally got the 'no. No mail came for you'. She let the other know that she would be home late and not to wait up, kissed her cheek, grabbed her ipod and left the house.<br/><br/>It was a good twenty minute walk to the studio.<br/><br/><br/>Twenty minutes later Lila walked in, hair a little less perfect now do to the wind. She had gotten there just as the class was finishing so snuck into a side room to pull off her shorts, top, legwarmers and ipod, then changed her shoes. As she heard the studio being emptied, Lila moved into a few stretches, going from side splits to a center split, then frog legs, being sure to keep her pelvis firmly against the floor. She then went to the wall and lifted a leg straight up so she was doing a standing split. It took her a long time to get her balance right for that one so she didn't have to hold onto anything with her hands.<br/><br/>Finally when everything went quiet, Lila emerged.<br/><br/>"Good evening Madame" She said and walked straight to the barre.
