Description
Collette would kill to be the kind of dancer her mom wants her to be, but it's just not in the cards. She's sick of dieting. She'll never fit into the perfect ballerina mold and she's tired of wishing that she could. She's over it and done trying. She's perfectly content to dance alone in the dark while the rest of the school is sleeping. Meanwhile, Ethan's coach says his football team needs discipline, and that practicing ballet is how they'll learn their lesson.
