Learning to Dance: a short story

Introvert Alana can't believe she's dating someone like Josh Hayward. Everybody knows Josh, everybody likes Josh, and unlike Alana, everybody sees Josh. Alana, on the other hand, has spent the last three years of high school haunting the halls like a ghost. When she agrees to go away for the weekend with Josh's family, all she wants to do is make the perfect impression. Afterall, a boy like Josh could only come from the perfect family. But when they arrive at his grandmother's cabin, Alana finds Josh's family isn't anything like she expected. Wild and boisterous, Alana fears her shy ways will never fit in with a family like his. When her nerves cause her body to betray her with gastrointestinal problems of epic proportions, Alana is sure she is doomed to mortification and her relationship with Josh will be over. That is, until two unlikely allies - an old woman and a little boy in a tutu - cause Alana to examine the beauty of being yourself, no matter what people say. Will Alana cling to her shell and stay the quiet shadow she has always been, or will she finally be able to embrace who she is and learn to dance to the music only she can hear?
