Amina: Hey Zu

Zuzu: Yeah?

Amina: You looked really good out there.

Zuzu: Oh. Thanks

Amina: You totally killed that solo

Zuzu: Really?

Amina: Yeah your turns were really good. They were really centered.

Zuzu: Yeah they felt good. I felt on top of myself.

Amina: You were really, really on top of yourself. And you looked clean.

Zuzu: Okay good. I was worried.

Amina: Don’t be worried. You’re doing awesome.

Zuzu: Thanks I need to work on my side aerial but-

Amina: You’ll get it.

Zuzu: Yeah

Amina: It took me like two years to get my side aerial.

Zuzu: Yeah

Amina: You’ll definitely get it.

Zuzu: I hope so.

Amina: For sure

Zuzu: Hey. You wanna come over? My mom’s making pizza.

Amina: Oh… I don’t think I can

Zuzu: Oh

Amina: I just- I wanna get to bed early

Zuzu: Okay

Amina: Sorry. I just-

I hate not sleeping before competitions

Zuzu: No, I get it I hate not sleeping too.

Have you thought about what you’re doing for the summer?

Amina: Oh!

Zuzu: I was thinking about maybe applying for the ballet fellowship at Pittsburgh Ballet?

Amina: That’d be cool.

Zuzu: Yeah I don’t know if I’ll get in. But it’d be so cool…

…

I need to focus on my ballet

Zuzu: Yeah Dance Teacher Pat wants to send me to Russia. 

Zuzu: To Russia?

Amina: Yeah, he wants me to go and train with this ballet company in Russia. I don’t know. It sounds kinda intense.

Zuzu: Intense is good though

Amina: I’m kinda scared

Zuzu: That’s how you get better

Amina: …

…

Yeah I think Sabina went.

Zuzu: Oh?

Amina: Yeah like when she was in high school

Zuzu: cool.

…

…

Amina: Pittsburgh Ballet is supposed to be really good, though.

Zuzu: Yeah I don’t know

Amina: I know this girl Eliza who went, and she really loved it. She made a lot of really good friends.

…

Maybe you could also apply for the Philly program? That’s supposed to be good, too.

Zuzu: It’s expensive though

Amina: I bet there are like scholarships and things

Zuzu: Yeah I should probably look into that

…

…

Is Russia expensive?

Amina: I don’t know. I’m not paying

…

I think Pittsburgh will be awesome

Zuzu: Hey Amina?

Amina: Yeah

Zuzu: Don’t be mad at me… Sorry

Amina: Uh

Zuzu: Is that mean?

Amina: Uh. No I don’t think so

Zuzu: I still really really really love you

Amina: I know

I just-

Zuzu: …

Amina: I don’t know

Zuzu: …

Amina: That’s fine

Zuzu: Yeah?

Amina: I totally get it
