Free Abigail: Through the Looking Glass by Rachel Elliot Page B

been fierce competitors and we’ve even been enemies, but I think that whatever happens in the future, I’ll always respect Tara. In the end, maybe respect is what friendship, teamwork and competition are all based on. We rely on each other and support each other through all the knocks and dramas and highlights, and being friends with people doesn’t mean that you always get along with them.
    I’ve made hundreds of mistakes, and I expect that my second year at the Academy will be full of hundreds more. When the new semester starts, I’ll be ready to work even harder and find a way of letting my emotions bleed through into my dancing, just like Tara. I want to be able to tell a story through my dancing – I want to be able to put that much feeling into my work.
    And next time there’s a lead part up for grabs, Tara will be understudying me.
