At It Alone

Chap 4

Blake's POV

"Why don't we have that?" I asked.

"Look on your shoes," Mia smiled. "I wanted it on your t-shirts but I realized that you guys are going to have a jacket on."

"Okay," said Shay. We put the clothes in our dance bag. "Now, you'll need clothes to practice in." Mia walked out with her dance bag. "Something comfortable."

"Is she leaving?" I asked.

"No, she's just going to change," said Shay. Mia walked in, completely changed. "This is what I recommend for us girls. A sports bra. You don't have to have this open slit side shirts but it's pretty roomy and comfortable." Shay smiled. "Her joggers hip-hop pants with this low crotch area and many zippers."

"Where do we find pants like that?" asked Zoey.

"Our team ordered them last year but a pair of sweats would be fine," Mia smiled.

"And you need comfortable shoes to practice in and I prefer high tops," Shay added. "Girls, hair tied in a pony tail or a bun. We don't ever let our hair loose."

"Alright, since you're just learning about this now, don't worry about it," said Mia. "Let's get to know each other." After thirty minutes of learning or re-learning about everyone, we were finally comfortable. "Well, that was some what intense. Imagine saying the same thing for the past three years."

"I have to do that again, next year?" asked Shay. Mia nodded. "Please tell me you're staying in town next year."

"I can't," Mia replied. "I'll tell you later."

"Guys, let's get to learning the second half of the dance," I replied. "I'm ready." Shay and Mia smiled at each other. "Oh no." We started practice and ended at five thirty. "I agree with Devin but the second half was more of a work out than the first."

"Well, let's just be happy that I have a connvertible," Mia replied. "Who needs a ride home?"

"Definitely," said Shay.

"Nah, my boyfriend's picking me up," said Zoey. "See you guys tomorrow."

"Bye, Z," Mia replied. "Blake, need a ride?"

"Yeah," I replied.

"We're heading out," Mia shouted. We walked out to her car and put our bags in the trunk. I road shotgun again. "Okay. You guys wanna go eat somewhere first?"

"Sounds good," said Shay.

"Where?" I asked.

"I don't know," Mia as we got in the car. She started driving. "Let me call my mom first." She turned on the AC and put her phone on the phone holder. She called her mom and put it on speaker. "If she's going to pick up."

"Hey sweetie," said Mrs. Reeves.

"Hey Mom," Mia replied. "Blake, Shay, and I are going to go somewhere to eat before heading home. Just wanted to let you know ahead of time."

"Okay, just be safe honey," said Mrs. Reeves. "Yeah, it is."

"Hey hun," said Mr. Reeves.

"Hi Daddy," she smiled.

"I got the fence put up so you don't have to worry about Victor anymore," Mr. Reeves said. "You guys have fun now. I love you."

"Love you too Dad," she said hanging up. "Guys, I don't have all day."

"Let's eat McDonalds," I replied. Mia shrugged and drove us to McDonalds. "Go ahead and order what you want. My treat."

"Alright," said Shay, "but Mia and I will just stick with the usual."
