My first solo

I remember it was a Saturday morning and I was at Myrtle Beach doing a dance competition. I was was backstage putting my make up on, with my mom doing my hair. I met my teacher backstage and she was helping me stretch when my best friend walks up and starts getting ready for her solo too. We were dancing against each other. I was very nervous because we have never danced against each other. We always danced with each other since we were at the youngest age of 3. My teacher was telling me to do leaps, kicks, jumps and i was getting tired but didn't show it. My friend Haley could see that i was getting tired. She was scared for me but probably happy at the same time too. My number was three before hers and I strutted on stage breathing hard. The music starts and my heart is beating a million miles an hours. Everything was going great until the end of my dance when I was turning and snot goes out of my nose onto the stage.
