Blind to the darkness

Blind dancer

I was blind. I knew I was blind. Yet I dance, I practiced blindly feeling the music and moving into sync with it.  A single beat. 1234 1234 1234 123- "Bella!" I leaped into the air and turned the soft sweet music off "yeah mom?" I felt her smile and I NEW what time it was. We walked out the door and into the car (well I staggered out with my stick)  I tugged at my purple-ly pink tutu it had gold glitter and a gold bauble and a gold rim. At least that's what I was told. Hmm.
Eventually we made it to the ballet studio I was practically bursting with excitement I had moved up to grade 3!. " bye sweet heart!!" I carefully made my way in and go the  desk to ask for assistance. " hello what can I do for you" "well I was hoping you could  show me were the grade threes go please" "why don't you use your eyes? "What eyes?" I open my eyelids to reveal pure milk whiteness and then closed them. "Bella!!"  I turned was that belle? "Belle? I asked and before I could say any more she swept me into a hug.She took my hand and led me towards our room before I could look towards the new guy. Grade three was quite hard but enjoyable I loved landing on the shiny wooden floor making no sound. Sensing a presence that never had been there before can be scary but I didn't notice. "Ok class please come to centre floor to meet our new kid" we came and Neely sat in rows of 4x4. Our tutu rustling as we did so. "Ok class please welcome Eli" I smiled brightly. I loved getting new kids, even though I can't see them heh... its still extremely exciting... for me.
I unlaced my shoes my and fell back onto my bed it rebounded and stood me up again 'oh well' I redressed into my pjs and left my room for dinner. Dinner was roast chicken and vege it was delicious!. "So how was ballet today Bella?" Asked my dad in his low gruff voice "great! We got I new kid his name is Eli" I smiled I felt my mum and dad shoot glances at each other. Then silence.
I feel asleep easier then usual that night the warmth of my bed and the cool night air surrounded me.
