Dare

The following morning I was greeted by the absence of Alice but I assumed that would be a givenIt was Sunday today. Classes didn't start until tomorrow meaning I had the chance to have a look around and familiarise myself

As I got up and headed out the murmur of the whole dorm floor stunk of hangover. It was a mixture of regrets and bad decisions. I'm glad I made a lucky escape without that one I guess?"Where are you of too?" I hear a familiar voice say, I turn to see Alice stood there by the main exit"I'm just heading out, did you have fun last night?" I asked. I wasn't about the judge the girl for how she spends her down time, but I hope that sooner rather then later she realises I'm not the person she wants me to be"Yeah it was great. You down to come again tonight?" She asked and I shook my head"Last night was enough for a lifetime for me" I chuckled making her playfully roll her eyes"They aren't as bad as they seem when you get to know them" She offered as a group of people begin to approach us both. As soon as they get closer I realise it is the same group from last night"I'm sure that is true" I replied making eye contact with Noah as I continued to leaveI won't lie, I could read each and every one of them like an open book. It's one of my super powers as such. But Noah, Noah I couldn't read. It intrigued me to say the least but I wasn't about to fall into that trap

Finally arriving at the one place I have been most excited about seeing, there it was right in front of meBeing a dancer, I like to look for certain things in a rehearsal space and this place? Has them both.I like light rooms, preferably white. It helps to lift your spirits and keep you awake on those late night rehearsals And the second thing? Good flooring. I don't like being able to hear my jumps, I don't want to have a sticky floor, I don't want my foot to get caught as I turnI'm not one for demanding but it is a necessity for dancing, everyone has their preferences and luckily this place met mine to a T"A ballerina, now I didn't expect that" I heard Jason said as I stood in the middle of the studio, I looked at him and chuckled"A dancer, not a ballerina. I can do more then just ballet" I replied flaunting my talents slightly "What are you doing here?" I asked, did he do this too?"I'm not a dancer before you get that into your head. I'm a musician, the Dance block and Music block are connected" He answered as if he read my mind"I didn't peg you as a musician" I replied placing my bag at the corner of the room"and I didn't peg you as a dancer" he laughed, I smirked at him before showing him what I was truly capable of.Without a second thought I did a side aerial landing it into 3 pirouettes. I heard him clap as I finished my turns"Okay Erin, I see you" He chuckled grabbing two drums sticks out of his back pocket beginning to drum on the wall next to my bag, I chuckled lightly listening to the beatHe was good, I'll give him thatI continued to bob my head along to the beat until me feet took flight, I smiled at Jason as I began to dance along to his beat"Get it Erin!" he called laughing as I continued making both of us smile furtherThis continued for a little while until Jason gave up on me stopping his music allowing me to come to a stop"That was mental" he laughed"That was amazing" I chimed. I was talking about the flooring or the whole room as a whole. The Music was an added bonus"I think this was the start of something beautiful" He chuckled

After departing from Jason allowing him to get on to whatever he was doing I walked over to the teachers quarters of the block in the hope I would get to meet some of themTo my surprise they were all there as I knockedAs soon as my knock my a sound all 8 teachers eyes were set on mine looking at mine most likely wondering what the hell I was doing"Hi, I'm sorry to bother you, My name is Erin, I'll be starting classes with you all tomorrow and I just wanted to formally introduce myself" i smiled slightly curtseying to gain their approval.Was this over the top? MaybeBut would I do it again? Most certainly "Well Erin, it is lovely to meet you. My name is Mrs Emerson and then this is Mr Emerson, Mr Davidson, Mr Jenson, Miss Monroe, Mrs Jacobs and Ms Angela" She said introducing them all one by one each one smiling as their name was mentioned"It is lovely too meet you all and I can't wait to learn from you all" I smiled The exchange didn't last long, they mentioned something about a Staff meeting but I didn't mind, it meant I could continue on with my venturesAs I was heading back out I could over hear Jason's voice arguing"I don't care Noah, I'm sick of being late or overly tired the morning of school. Through your stupid party elsewhere" He said, Noah? As in Alice's Noah? "Why do you have to be such a priss? It's not like you can flunk out of this school anyway" He said, I wasn't sure what he meant by that but regardless this wasn't my conversation to be listening in on.While I walked past I flashed Jason a smile as if to ask if he was okay "Yo Brunette!" Noah said making me stop in my tracks before turning to look at me"I know you aren't talking to me" I replied"Mmm except I am" Noah replied"Her name is-" Jason started before I stopped him"Jason, he knows my name. Until he learns how to address someone correctly, this conversation is done with" I replied turning to leave again"And to think we still had you pegged as a Daddy's girl" he said making me chuckle"You're one to talk Noah. Don't go flunking" I replied as I passed the cornerI couldn't help but feel achieved, as if I managed to stand my ground and maybe make a name for myself here

Little did I know back then that this was the point that got Noah interested, no girl until I had stepped up to him like that, they all allowed what ever he said to be gospel but half the stuff that comes out of that boys mouth is crap anyway
