Melanie Victoria Ziegler is the third and youngest daughter of Kurt Ziegler and Melissa Gisoni. She has two older sisters, Maddie and Kenzie. Mel has been dancing at the ALDC since she was two years old. She's been her whole life "Living on the danc...
Chloe, and Maddie have solos. Maddie, Chloe, and Kendall have a trio, and everyone except Kenz and I are in the group dance. At least this week I have an off show group dance.
After a long 45 minutes of warming up, I was dismissed and I run outside.
"Finally here." Amira says and passes me the volleyball, "You're gonna be in Makayla's team."
Makayla's team was Zoe, Ava, Kathryn, Mariah, and obviously the two of us.
Amira's was Mary, Klara, Julie, Becky, and Mia.
"Everyone ready?" Emma asks as she runs up to us.
We all run to the back of the studio, where no one could see us, and start playing.
"Zoe, pass!" Kat yells as she passes Zoe the ball.
It goes over to Amira's side, and Julie passes it back to us, me, Amira, Mariah, Becky, Ava, and wall!
It literally flies over to the wall and it makes a loud sound, no one's even supposed to know about this.
"We're dead." Mia says.
"What do we do?" Emma asks.
"Umm." Kat thinks for a moment, "I think this is the time when we make a run for it."
We all start running towards the building, until we notice Christi and Mommy.
"If this helps." I tell the girls, "It was a pleasure meeting you."

"Abby told you not to play with balls, you can all get hurt." Mommy scolds me as I sit in Dance Jail, "You know what? You're grounded."
"Why?" I ask.
"Everything that I just told you." She tells me, "For a week."
Great.
The next three days were really boring, the mini group dance rehearsal, watching the show dances, and visiting Brooke, I want to do something fun, but I'm grounded.

I change into my costume and Mommy quickly works with my hair.

I suddenly see Jill bribing Kendall with money, and I thought it was really weird.
"The minis are on in three!" Gianna announces.
We all go backstage.
"Next up is act number 12, please welcome to the stage, 'Me Too'." The announcer says and we all go on stage.
Ow

After we dance, I stay there to watch the trio.
MRS. WELLERSTEIN: I don’t know how I’ve lasted this long with him. MME. FEMME: Joan, he means well. MRS. WELLERSTEIN: For all of his book smarts he has not an ounce of common sense. MME. FEMME: Well that’s not his fault. MRS. WELLERSTEIN: How’s that? MME. FEMME: He’s a man. That’s just the way men are. There's no trust, no faith, no honesty in men. It’s in their DNA to be… MRS. WELLERSTEIN:…Annoying? MME. FEMME: Precisely.
There was a little problem with the spacing, but besides that, it was great. Except Paige's hurt look on her face.
I go to the audience and sit beside Kenzie while the moms get the girls ready for the group dance.
"This is act number 34, 'What Comes Around'." The announcer says and the girls go on stage.
I had your back, thought you had mine Thought we'd be friends forever And I trusted you If only I knew But my heart was blind
You broke our trust You broke our heart But you cannot break us
No turning back, you're on the run Look what you've done What comes around will go around What goes up must come down Liar, liar, pants on fire I'll never be your friend
What can you say, what can you do? How could you betray us? Look what you've done What you've put us through But we still have won
You broke our trust You broke our heart But you cannot break us
No turning back, you're on the run Look what you've done What comes around will go around What goes up must come down Liar, liar, you're a liar I'll never be your friend again

The trio didn't place, Chloe was first, but in the show they would make it seem like she didn't place, Maddie was also first, and the group was also also first, but they would make the same thing as Chloe's solo. My group dance was third. After all of that, we went back to the dressing room and Payton created a lot of drama, saying that she was better than everyone else. This week was just not it.
