Guns and Numbers

chapter one

We are going to take it from the top. And a five six seven eight GO!” Paige said.
The dancers started their routine while listening to the instrumental of the song. The blue silver dancing group was asked to dance in a video of a song by a teenage sensation that was getting famous by the minute. He went by the name of DICE. His real name was actually John Kale. This was the second time the group was asked to dance in his songs. The current song was titled white roses.  And the video was done in a dark alley of sorts and the dancers were dressed in the trending ripped clothes. The guys; Willz, Joe, Chad and Fro. Willz was a white guy. He was 6’3 tall and he had brown hair that was cut in a stylish cut that had his sides shaved off and a lighting symbol engraved on his left side. He had dark brown eyes and he was as pale as they come. He was also quiet but heavily sarcastic. Joe was a Mexican and dancing was some sort of therapy for him as he went through some trouble communicating with people and he was 5’11 tall and very tanned, he looked like a typical Mexican and he has black hair and very dark eyes and a loner. Always dressed in a hoodie and bottoms. Chad was a playboy and he had looks that looked like they just came out of a vogue magazine and he was 6 foot tall and dressed like a model. He danced to pass time. And Fro was a black guy and had an afro that was usually styled in a stylish cut and he was very flexible and had the girls going crazy but he was committed to his girlfriend of three years.
Fro was a great guy but only when you are on his good side. He is also part of a gang but nobody has to know that. The girls come next. There was Miranda who was the captain of the group and she was a bitch. She was the typical Barbie doll minus the blue eyes and the blonde hair. She had black hair and dark brown eyes and pink pouty lips. She was beautiful and she has a body that had a very little of everything. Leah was Miranda’s best friend and she was partly Chinese and partly black. She was short but had a loud voice and she was also small in all departments. Wendy was a coloured as well and she was medium and a bit on the lazy side. She was a good dancer and all but way too lazy but technically she was always tired because she worked two jobs and she was not loud and was Willz’ crush. Last but not least was a typical white girl who was friends with Miranda and her name was Jenny. She was also a bitch but on the dumb side. She was very dumb but she was a good dancer as well. The last one of the group was Aqua. She was light skinned and was short at 5’3 and thick. She also had bilingual eyes. One eye was blue and the other was cold grey. She was teased by the other girls and was a loner not by choice but she was forced. The other girls hated her but Wendy was a bit nice to her but she wouldn’t call her a friend. The guys were much better than the girls but mostly they minded their own business.
That’s the whole group. Paige was the choreography coach. She taught them new moves and she was also the owner of the studio. The official group was the nine members but the studio was also a group and the group tends to teach the people who come to the studio.
‘When will DICE come and practice with us?’ Miranda asked
‘well he will be here soon. We have to start shooting anyway.’ Paige said.
Speak of the devil and he shall appear. DICE appeared with his crew to start shooting the video. DICE was already dressed for the video and so were the dancers. The guys were dressed in black ripped jeans and black long sleeved ripped shirts and white vans and the girls were all dressed in black ripped booty shorts and lace black crop tops and black vans except Aqua who was dressed in black ripped jeans and the crop top and the vans as well. Miranda was jealous of Aqua’s voluptuous body and she took every chance she got to body shame her. The other girls body shamed her cause of Miranda and they truly didn’t know the real reason why they did. But still she killed the outfit and it looked great.
They started shooting the video and Miranda took every opportunity to dance next to DICE and was always touching him till he called off the shoot.
‘whats wrong?’ the director asked.
‘ this girl keeps touching and dancing next to me, no space for me to breathe man. Its really annoying and uncomfortable. Can you switch her?’ he asked.
Miranda was red in the face and very embarrassed. The crew laughed at her and some even called a few names and that only added fuel to the fire.
‘of course who do you want?’ the director asked.
‘how about her?’ he said while pointing at Aqua.
Miranda was now fuming. She was jealous of Aqua.
They switched places and Miranda gave Aqua the stink eye. They started dancing again and this time DICE was comfortable and a bit destructed as he was watching Aqua’s butt as she was dancing.
‘that was amazing!!!’ the director was impressed by Aqua’s dancing. She was very light on her feet and she made every move effortlessly and that alone was amazing. He was also enticed by her butt.
Miranda felt like the compliment was hers because she was standing behind Aqua and that alone made her almost forget about the embarrassment. Key word is almost.

‘so you thought you could embarrass me like that and get away with it you fat pig’  Miranda spat  at Aqua. Literally spat.
‘miranda am not the one who embarrassed you. DICE did. It aint my fault you were being desperate. And you spit when you talk. Did you know that you bulldog?’ Aqua said.
Miranda was once again embarrassed by Aqua but that didn’t stop her.
‘I don’t.’ she said
‘whatever floats your boat. In this case its going to be your spit.’ Aqua said.
Miranda walked away from Aqua. She knew it was one of the days Aqua doesn’t take shit from anyone. Days were Aqua will embarrass the shit of you. Days she gets to be mean.
‘be careful Miranda, you might drown in your own spit and embarrassment. Don’t go around touching guys that don’t want you!’ Aqua exclaimed.
Miranda wanted the ground to open up and swallow her up because DICE was just in earshpt and he could have prolly heard the whole ordeal and to make things worse some crew members were laughing at her. She needed to put Aqua in her place again.
It’s a few days after the hilarious shooting well not for Miranda anyway but it was hilarious either way. Aqua was doing some warm ups when Miranda and friends showed up. Leah was carrying a bucket and Aqua immediately knew it wont end well. The crew was setting up their equipment and everybody was getting ready. This time they were not wearing the black ripped clothing. They were all going to be dressed in the skin tight body hugging jumpsuits. The girls that is. The guys were dressed in denims and adidas sneakers with white shirts with leather or jean jackets.
‘you think you all that because you finished college faster that the rest of us. You think just cause you got to dance with DICE you are the queen of England. Never forget that you were only picked because Lily went to Europe and nobody was there to compete. In other words you were a second choice and you are not worth shit. You are just a fat girl to make the population bigger but no value at all. You are the type of people that don’t matter, people with no purpose. DICE was uncomfortable because I made him all hot and  bothered. He chose you because he knew that dancing with you would hold no value. Dancing with you would be like watching jelly jiggle with all the fat you carry around. If I were you I would be at the gym trying to make myself look like a person and not some cow trying to be a horse. You are nothing Aqua. You are tasteless like water. Which is your name by the way. You are nothing and you will always be nothing. That’s why you are jobless right now Aqua. So stay in your lane.’ Miranda said.
‘she is too fat to stay in her lane.’ Leah said. And dropped the contents of th bucket on Aqua. The bucket was filled with mixed eggs. People took out their phones and took pictures of Aqua. She was being laughed at by everybody and to top it all off nobody really cared. She stood up and walked to the bathroom. But she tripped and fell a couple of times becaused of the eggs. She took a shower and changed into the clothes. The jumpsuit was emphasizing each and every curve she had and she was now self-conscious of her body because she has never worn anything so tight. She wore the block timberland heels and went to the shooting place. She danced away her sorrows. The guys in the group were surprised to see how sexy she looked. They salivated over her.
