Foster Troubles

Chapter Twenty

Wednesday after school, I walked to the studio with Steph.

"You excited?" Steph questioned, as we reached the building.

"Definitely." I exclaimed. "You staying?"

"No, I have to go home, but I'm here to see my boyfriend."

"Since when?" I asked.

"Since Saturday." Steph laughed. Tyler came to hug Steph, and they made out.

"Get a room," Bri rolled her eyes. I giggled, put my stuff down, and sat with them. Steph kissed Tyler, and then left to go home.

"When did you start dancing?" Kace asked me.

"When I was little, I think when I was two years old? I grew up dancing, but I stopped before high school started. "

"Why did you quit?" Brandy asked.

I sighed. "My birth dad used to drug and rape me and my twin, Adelaine. You know the brunette that was here yesterday?" They nodded, and I continued. "I danced to relieve the stress and shit. Adelaine ran away, when she was little. My birthdad left before I entered high school, but he's back in town with a new family, and another daughter, that he's actually willing to take care of. They also have another child coming on the way."

"Damn, that's bullshit." Brandy yelled.

"It is, but I'm over it." I said.

"Why didn't y'all call the police, and where was your mom?" Kace asked.

"He threatened to kill us if we reported it. My mom was so scared, he used to hurt her, and use her as blackmail."

"Bro, that's shit." Dash said.

"It's aight, though. I'm not completely over it, but at least I'm alive." I licked my lips, that were suddenly dry.

"So what kind of dance did you do?" Bri asked.

"Mostly hip-hop, and breakdance." I answered.

"Alright, should we do the routine, that Skye did with us?" Tyler asked them. They all agreed. Bri went to turn on the music.

"Tell us if you like it, and you could join in when you're ready." Tyler said.
"Kay." I said. They all got up and started the music. I went to stand in the back. I watched their dance routine, and joined in. The song came to a finish, and we stopped.

"Bitch is a natural." Kacey exclaimed.

"Nice job." Brandy bumped fists with me. I went to my bag to get some water.

"Friday, after school. Peace out." Dash said. We all packed up to leave...

On Friday morning, I took a quick shower, and changed into light washed skinny jeans, and my strapless tribal printed crop top. I slipped on black sneakers, and accessorized with silver hoops. I did my daily makeup, curled my hair, and went to school with Leo and Adelaine. After school, I went to the studio. I was the first one there, surprisingly. I put my stuff down, and plugged my phone in the speakers. I put on a song, that I used to love dancing to. I did the routine that the crew had done on Wednesday. Then I did my own dance routine, and a couple flips. When the song ended, there was applause at the doorway. I turned to look, and the whole crew was there. I smiled, and laughed. I went to unplug my phone.

"You're amazing." Bri exclaimed.

"Thank you." I said, tossing my hair to the side.

"Can you twerk?" Kacey asked, looking at me.

"Yo, Kace, stop." Brandy said.

"It wouldn't hurt." Kacey shrugged. "So can you twerk?" She glared at me.
