Hello,
time for home-reading again. So I read through next 60 pages and there happens many things.
First, Marya is trying to get to the New York's Ballet Studio and she trains very hard every day at their apartment. She says she hasn't never practised so much for something. And that shows how much she wants back to her mom, back to her homeland and back to dance. She finally gets there too, but about that later.
Marya also makes some friend with Ben and Lindsay, who are a couple, but Marya likes Ben more than she should. Ben also doesn't want to be with Lindsay anymore and gets interested to Marya. They are really good friend and they share their music, photos, their personal life and they find out that they have pretty much same interests in life. It is very complicated to Marya and she doesn't want to break her little happiness, because Lindsay is her first friend in New York and a very good friend.
Marya also starts taking some school lessons and improves her English. At the same time Pop's old friend comes to visit them and he takes with him some documents and Marya finds these papers. The documents say that Svetlana Dukovskaya (Marya's mother) has been diagnosed with schizophrenia and she has been classified as an ''intelligence risk'' and as an ''enemy of the people''. That hurts Marya a lot.
At the same time Pop warns Marya that Soviet Union may send some spies to find out their life in America. Marya gets to the New York's Ballet Studio and her new partner is Russian Sergei, which seems very weird to Marya's father and he says: ''He's the one, Marina. That's who they've sent.'' That's hard to accept to Marya, because she likes Sergei a lot. And Pop warns Marya more, but Marya just keeps meeting to Sergei.
And also, this time I found out very good point at one chapter. It's like an aforism or something like that. ''..., but because she knows how to mark her territory without baring her teeth.'' I really liked that point :D
