Chapter 11 - Ballet

<Time skip> 2 week

*Wilbur' POV*

I was walking down the hall when I heard music coming from the music room. Smiling, I walked up to the door suspecting it was Claire. Pecking my head through the door I saw Claire in there but what she was doing was not what I was expecting.

Claire was in the middle of the room doing ballet, pirouettes to be more specific. The music was fitting perfectly with her and once she stopped spinning she started doing a beautiful dance that I can not describe.

I was in awe of the way she moved to the music, Her body was in perfect sync. She had her eyes closed and was humming along with the music. Once the song finished she relaxed her body and opened her eyes and they met mine.

Claire froze in place and I couldn't help but stare, "You're a great dancer," I said, breaking the silence. Claire went red and covered her face with her hands.

"You saw that? Oh my god that's embarrassing," she said laughing awkwardly. I put my hand on her shoulder and she looked up at me.

"Don't be, that was really impressive," I said, smiling down at her. Claire had a shy smile on her face. "How long have you done ballet for? Because you are really good."

"Well, I started dancing for fun when I was like...4? And I just went from there I guess? I got my point shoes when I was...21 think? Believe it or not, my stepmother was the one who got them for me on my 21st birthday," Claire said, looking down at her ballet shoes. "They're pretty worn out, but I'm not able to get new ones so," She smiled, shrugging.

"I can't believe you never told me you did ballet! You're amazing at it! Why hide that?" I asked.

"I don't know.... I guess I'm just so used to not having anyone to tell these things I just keep it to myself," Claire looked at me and I smiled down at her.

"Could you.... Maybe, you don't have to. But do you think you could do a dance for me?" I asked hopefully.

Claire thought for a moment,"Ooh I've never really danced in front of people before..." She said shyly.

"You really don't have to but what I saw before was outstanding!" I said honestly.

"Okay, sure. But only because you have a cute face," She said, getting up. I felt my face heat up at her words but shook it off when I heard music start.

I sat in awe as her body moved to the music.

A/N: This is the dance she did, but you don't have to watch it if you don't want to just know she was amazing.

"Wow," was all I could say when she was done. "I swear to god how many hidden talents do you have!" I said getting up and going to her.

"That's all I promise, the rest are flaws," Claire said giggling.

"I'm sure that's not true,' I said.

The rest of the day we just talked and relaxed, Claire did teach me how to do a pirouette. It was hard man, I can't imagine what it's like to do that on points.

That night I went to bed and just as I was about to go to sleep I sat up suddenly.

"Oh shit, I'm in love with Claire," I said to myself sitting in bed with my jaw ajar. When I lay back down I felt like I had inner peace after accepting my feelings for Claire. I think I've had them for a while, I just haven't accepted the fact that they were there.

To think she's just an ordinary girl and yet, I'm catching myself falling for her. I thought as I drifted off to sleep.

A/N: oooooooo . Sorry for not updating in a while, but here you go. I've been pretty busy lately with work since I'm in lock-down. Fuck COVID! Luckily the holidays start today so I'll have a lot of time to write >:)
