You and me

Part 10🦋

Rachelle POV
Today I was going to to get a partner even if it was the weed smokers who hung out at the back of the college.
I had no more classes for the rest of the day but I had to stay at school. I HAD to find my partner. I waltzed around the semi empty college lazily lost in my thoughts drowning in stress.
Ring Ring Ring
"Hey gurl me and Kalen were wondering if u wanted to go to the smoothie shack were at the car park now" Beatrice said expectantly
"Sorry B I have to stay and find a partner see you at home and tell Kalen I said hi"
"Alright and good luck.But are u sure that's all your doing because We called Lake and he bailed on us too."
"Well I'm not meeting him if that's what your asking I haven't heard from him since he left at the party" I said slight annoyance in my voice
"Hmm well ok then see u at home and good luck again"
"Thanks"
*beep*(I hung the phone up)
I let out a deep sigh and continued my search. When I suddenly heard a soft beat coming from the direction If the practice rooms. As far as I was concerned all the dance students who practice in this block went home early. I took myself in the direction of the music. As I got closer my pace quickened in excitement this could be the perfect opportunity for me to find a partner. I reached the door ready to burst in when I recognised a familiar face. Although he was mid somersault I could recognise those lips anywhere. Lake.
I ducked slightly so he wouldn't know I was watching him... I was in awe if I thought I was he was on a whole other level. How could the dean day I know the best dancer when he exists. This is just all too much to take in. I've never seen him in the practice rooms with the others... Does he not dance anymore?
OMG! Is what he was talking about with my dance teacher on the first day have something to do with it. I ducked slightly under the door window so he wouldn't catch me watching. From the moment I knew it was him he was going to be my partner, no ifs ands or buts. However I just wanted to watch him...watching him dance made me feel closer to him then I have ever felt. Damn he is a good dancer.
"Rachelle!"
I jumped at the sudden sound of my own name,I turned round to see who was calling for me.
"Oh hi Amber you alright" I said fixing myself up as I stood up again properly
"Oh Yh I'm good I just left my jacket in the practice room. Why aren't you going in ?" She asked inquisitive and leaning towards the window to see who I was watching.
"Oh Lake...it's your first time seeing him dance isn't it? No need to answer actually I can tell, he had that effect on all of us."
"Hmm did he Urm nice to know..." I said awkwardly. Was it obvious how in awe I was?
"Anyway imma get my jacket then head back home"
Amber went to open the door, I shyly followed after her knowing what I had to do.

Lake POV
I was crouched down by my phone looking for a different song to dance to when I heard the slight creak of the door.
"Sorry miss I know I should of asked if I could be in here-"
"Oh lake it's only me and Rachelle, I'm here to get my jacket i don't know what Rachelles doing but she's here too" Amber said cheerily.
My head snapped round at the sound of her name.Rachelle. Although we haven't gotten closer since what happened at the party my feelings are very much the same as confusing as they are I know what I really want. It's her. I don't know if I'll allow myself to give in and Pursue her not like she'd actually let me after what happened.
"See you later guys" said Amber jacket in hand as she left the room, leaving me and Rachelle alone.
"Lake...I have a little favour to ask you not that you'd want to do me any favours you made that clear but I need you..." Said Rachelle slightly tense slightly annoyed slightly hopeful.
"You need me to do what Rachelle?" I said standing up and making my way over to her
"I need you to dance with me at nationals! I know it's a surprise but please I'm begging you you do this for me and I don't know... next time we're at a party I won't play truth or dare with you..." Rachelle said half jokingly
Rachelle POV
How rude do I have to be... GET A HOLD OF YOURSELF!
Lake POV
I felt bad she obviously thought I didn't like her. If only she knew. The nationals. I forgot you needed a partner... out of all the people why her love and dance don't mix well with me. Not saying I love her anything. But all I knew was that I had to agree I was backed into a corner, a corner that Mr Song could crush me in.
Hesitantly I answered...
"Well I wasn't planning to compete I don't even dance anymore but I'd you need the help"
Why am I living like I don't need her as much as she needs me?
Less than a second after I answered she ran up to me and hugged me? She's really confusing isn't she?
"Thank you Thank you so much you don't know how much this means to me" she exclaimed arms wrapped around my neck.
She slowly released her arms from me as if returning back to reality.
"Oh...Sorry. Urm be in the practice room 7:30 sharp tomorrow morning we should start working on the dance nationals and that far from now" Rachelle said as she walked towards the door.
"I'll be there for sure...u better make sure you come with some ideas" I said jokingly trying to push for the way things used to be before it was too late.
She stopped by the door hand in it ready to leave before she turned her head round and smiled
"If course I already have a song in mind" she said winking before leaving.
