At It Alone

Chap 7

Mia's POV

The music started and we got into formation. "Nice to meet you, where you been?" I sang. "I can show you incredible things. Magic, madness, heaven, sin. Saw you there and I thought: Oh my god! Look at that face." I smiled at Blake. "You look like my next mistake. Loves a game. Want to play?"

"Oh, oh," Shay harmonized.

"New money, suit and tie. I can read you like a magazine," I sang as Blake walked around me. "Ain't it funny, rumors fly? And I know you heard about me. So hey!" He stopped and looked at me. "Let's be friends. I'm dying to see how this one ends. Grab your passport and my hand." Blake grabed my hand and spin me into him. "I can make the bad guys good for a weekend." Blake spun me back out. We dance the rest of the routine as we danced. We finished and the students gave us a standing ovation. "Thank you so much!"

"And we want you to know, no matter what other say, go for your dream," Shay replied. "Don't let others tell you what to do. It's your future."

We got off stage and put the mics up. "Alright, so we can either go to the gym and start on Friday's performance or go to the assembly," I suggested. "It's your choice on what you want to do. I don't care. All I know is I have something to do."

"What are you going to do?" asked Blake.

"Get a routine ready for regionals," I said.

"We're going this year?" asked Zoey.

"For our eighth win," I replied. "Only thing is, Reginals is seven weeks away from this Saturday. So Shay and I were thinking about it last weekend." I looked at the team members. "I've made CD's. All Sunday I recorded your part of the dance for you." I handed them the packs of CD's that had their name on it. "It took a lot of editing too. I'm wearing a t-shirt color that matches your bag so you know which part to do." I sighed. "I know you'll like the dances."

"Heartbeat Song?" asked TC.

"That's next week's dance," I smiled. "Look, do what you want but I'm headed to the gym." I went to the gym and Blake followed me. I put my bag down and sat on the bleachers. "Why do you follow me around?"

"I'm your boyfriend," Blake smiled. "I'm not following you around. I like being around you." I felt myself flush pink. "You're cute when you blush."

"Stop," I smiled nudging Blake as he sat down next to me. "I needed a smile today." Blake put his right arm around me and clasps hands with my ride hand. "You're seriously the best."

"I only try," Blake smiled.

I giggled as he kissed my nose. "That's my nose, silly," I smiled. "These are my lips." I kissed Blake and it seemed as if we were the ones in the room. We heard people walking in and we stopped. "Thank you."

"The assembly is so boring," Shay said standing in front of us. "It's speaker after speaker." The rest of the squad walked in. "I guess you guys thought the same."

"It's horrible," said Zoey. "Some people stopped us, before we walked out, and told us we were the best part of the assembly."

"Well, we have some supporters who are true to their school," I smiled.

"What did I just walk into?" asked Jayk as he pointed at Blake and I. "Am I missing something?"

"Blake and I are together for the hundred plus time I've said over the past few days," I replied. "So after regionals we go to state. We have to break up into three group."

"Which three?" asked Zoey.

"Each group has to have two couples dance and a jazz group," I stated. "I was thinking Shay, Dev, Blake, and I could do the couples dance and the rest of you can do jazz." I sighed. "I hate breaking up the group but if we all put in our best, we can place at least first or second. Then head to nationals from there."
