"Hello. I am Miss Maya. I will be your dance teacher today. We'll be doing ballet today." The teacher said.

Miss Maya began to play the music and showed everyone a short routine that they could work on for the duration of the lesson. You, however, had other plans. You wanted to work on some other routines that you needed to work on. Looking at the rest of the students, you noticed you and Mila seemed to be the two that stood out. You were watching Mila dance and could see she had done ballet before. You noticed an issue with her posture, but the teacher was helping another student, so you helped her out.

"Mila. Your posture is slightly off. It's like this." You said as you demonstrated the correct posture.

"Oh, thank you. Do you by chance do ballet?" Mila asked.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you my name. I'm F/N. Yes I do ballet. I've been doing it since I was... since I was 9 or 10 I think." You reply.

"Anyway, I'm gonna go and help other students." You say to Mila.

"Ok. Do svidaniya F/N." Mila says.

"Do svidaniya Mila." You say.

You leave Mila and began helping other students. You enjoyed doing it since it allowed you some time to improve. You felt happy helping other people. You had done it before back at the Ice Castle when you and Yuri helped Yuuri. Even Yuri had helped you before when you were struggling with Quads. You continued helping others before the teacher pulled you aside. You couldn't tell if she was mad or happy with you. So you just waited to hear what she had to say.

"My, my, you are quite the talented ballet dancer. How long have you been dancing?" Miss Maya asks.

"I've been dancing since I was 9 or 10. Am I in trouble for helping out?" You nervously ask.

"No, no. I think it's fine that you are helping. Now, why don't you go and work on your own routine? I could see you were eager when you saw I was a ballet teacher." Miss Maya said.

"Thank you." You say before leaving to another part of the open space.

You began working on some routines and some spins. You hadn't even noticed that the whole class had stopped to watch you. When you finished what you were doing, you heard everyone clap. You were confused and shocked to say the least. You didn't know anyone was watching. You looked at everyone, confusion on your face. The teacher ushered everyone to get back to class when she realised the time. It was the end of lesson. She sent everyone to the changing rooms.

You began changing back into your school uniform, ignoring the stares of everyone in the changing rooms. You thought today was awful. 29 students saw you dance. You had a rough idea that people might start spreading rumours about you. Maybe some even working out why you actually did ballet in the first place. You just wished school would end. You were slightly irritated. You decided you were going to head back to Hasetsu after school. Maybe skating at the ice castle, going to the ballet studio, or staying in the hot spring might help calm you.

You left the changing rooms and headed to your next lesson which was English. You didn't even want to go to your last lesson, but you had no choice. You had a couple minutes before the lesson started since you got changed quickly. You decided to get a drink from the vending machine before heading to class. You were about to slot in the coins when a voice called out to you. You looked up from the machine and saw Lev, semi-running towards you.

"F/N! I'm glad I found you. Do you wanna come and watch the volleyball practice after school today?" Lev asked, curiously anticipating your response.

"Ah, I'd love to. But I'm busy after school. Sorry. Maybe next time." You reply.

"Oh... mind if I ask what you're doing after school?" Lev asked.

"I'm heading back to where I grew up. I've had a stressful day so maybe going there might help relieve my stress. Oh, my class is starting soon. Do svidaniya Lev." You said as you bought a drink and headed to class.

"What does 'do svidaniya' mean?" Lev thought out loud as you walked away.

You continued walking down the corridor and into your next class. You saw Kenma and smiled at him. He looked down at his desk. "Did he blush?" you thought to yourself. You thought nothing of it and went to find a seat in the classroom. The only seat left was near the back of the classroom. You rolled your eyes before sitting down. You had a feeling the girls at the back are the bullies of the school. And you recognised them from your physical exercise class earlier.
