Kathy's POV

When they ask why I can never explain,
but a symphony played when you told me your name.
~~~

I had just changed clothes for dance and gasped when as soon as I got to the front of the room to wait for the rest of the team, Josh wrapped his arms around me from behind and I laughed.

"Hi." He whispered.

"Hey." I smiled at him and tried to turn around but he didn't let me.

"I have a surprise for you." He confessed. "Close your eyes."

I ignored Roxy and Parisa's ooo's and closed my eyes, giggling when he took me by the shoulders and turned me around.

"Alright, open them." He instructed and what I saw when I did made me gasp.

He held a pink bomber jacket, much like the one Ariana Grande wore at her Sweetener concert in Paris, she's supposed to be performing in London next week but with our schedules, neither Roxy or I are able to go.

"It's one of her dancer's." He said as he wrapped it around my shoulders and I slipped my arms inside.

"Wow... just... wow." I turned to show Roxy and Parisa and they both had the same reaction. "This is... thank you." I hugged Josh tightly but turned my head for him to kiss my cheek instead of my lips when he attempted to kiss me.

As much as I hate it, Damon and I's conversation two weeks ago messed with my head. I haven't let Josh kiss me since, or show me any affection in public. I just can't get myself to do it.

"I thought you'd like it."

Goodness this must've cost a fortune.

"How did you even..." I was in the middle of asking him when everyone came out of the dressing room ready for class. I smiled at him as I slipped off my jacket and carefully placed it on one of the hooks. "We'll talk later." I reassured him. He nodded and went to his place on the floor to start stretching.

Roxy opened her mouth to say something but I stopped her. "Let's not crush their spirits right now, how about that?" I teased and she rolled her eyes at me but started stretching too. I turned to the rest of my team. "Alright, we have a tournament in three weeks. Right before our OWLs and NEWTs, regular finals for the rest of you. I know that means studying and rehearsing but, you signed up for this team, you knew the stakes that came with it. Now, we're going against the other two wizarding schools in Europe: Durmstrang Institute." I looked pointedly at Josh and he looked down. "No real competition there. And Beauxbatons Academy."

Everyone groaned at the mention of them. "I know, I know." I agreed. "They're really good, they're the real competition. But we'll be fine. We've beat them before, we can do it again. They do these beautiful ballet numbers, correct? But ballet has a lot of room for error, they have to do every single thing correctly. So, we'll work on our routine and practice, because they can do ballet and lyrical, but can they do contemporary? Can they do jazz? Hip hop? Acro?"
