the week leading up to the dance team tryouts flew by. it was the only thing i had been looking forward to. besides seeing grace in my biology class, that is.
on the day of, i was getting nervous. there was no reason to be, evy had told me it was just time to test if you thought being on the team was a good fit. i still felt like there was so much pressure on it. grace would be watching me dance, which was so nerve wracking.
last period moved so slowly. i had world cultures, in a class with the really awesome red haired girl who was super smart and great. she also was on the dance team, and knew i was planning to try out.
another girl from the team was in that class too, a blonde with incredibly long hair. something in me wanted to cut a little bit off and keep it in my pocket for later use, but that seemed like a bad idea. she introduced herself as 'the famous livbits with fans around the globe', whatever that means. it was kind of weird, not going to lie.
they walked with me to the auditorium, trying to start conversation. they wanted to know how long i'd been dancing, what kind of dance, things like that. i was too preoccupied to give more than one word answers. grace still took up more than half of my brain.
"y/n! you came!" i recognized the voice as soon as i stepped onto the stage. there she was, standing by the stairs.
my mood instantly brightened. if only she knew the effect she had over all my dreams, thoughts, and emotions.
"thanks for coming, we're really glad to have you here." that was evy, the leader of the team who had been taking charge in organizing. not that there was much to lead, it was only me and 3 other girls looking to join the team.
the dancing was the best part. they had a combo prepared, and i was a quick learner. i could tell grace was impressed, which sent my heart soaring.
we moved in sync at one point. the dance took over me and all i could see was the beauty standing in front of my. i felt our rhythms connect, and i had never felt more at peace with life. she just was so perfect.
the red haired girl looked so great doing the little dance. she was very pretty all the time and walked like a hot supermodel.
when it was over, they all thanked me for coming again. i couldn't pass up the opportunity to be dancing alongside grace again, so i made the choice to join the team definitively.
our song played in my head over and over again as i got went through the night. twice while i was making dinner, once while brushing my teeth, and playing on repeat when i dozed off. i kept seeing grace in my mind, before she appeared in my dreams once again.
