Dancing with the Beast

2. Guess who slid into my DMs

Hey Keira,

this is probably the weirdest DM you've ever received (except for the messages of disgusting horny men, lol). Me and the boys have made a challenge. The losing team has to do an aerobic themed music video for YouTube as their punishment. But none of us can dance. Looking for someone who can teach us, I discovered your impressive dance videos on YouTube. Long story short: Would you like to visit us and take part in a video teaching the boys weird aerobic moves and plan our choreo? I will pay the costs for your flight and the hotel of course.

Let me know if you're up for it. Greetings,

Jimmy

Oh my gosh. I did not expect this kind of request. The part about the horny guys in my DMs made me giggle cause I really get a lot of these messages. This request seemed to be a big opportunity for me, but I was still thinking about the offer. It was a clear case for a group discussion. I opened the Golden Girls  group chat. SOS! Guess who slid into my DMs. Help pls. I messaged the girls. Myra? Kate replied. Myra was my ex-girlfriend  who cheated on me one month ago. I was still hurt and disappointed and it was still difficult to move on. I wrote nope and sent them a screenshot of Jimmys message. WTF?! Meet you guys in our bar in 30 minutes! Mel messaged. Omw I replied after a quick look at the clock. It was 7 pm, definitely the right time to discuss this over some drinks. I headed to my bedroom and changed my outfit into something less sporty. After I applied some makeup, I grabbed  my purse and a handbag, put on a pair of sneakers and left my apartment.

It took me 10 minutes by foot to arrive at our favorite bar. As I arrived, I already saw Mel sitting on a table at the patio. I hugged her in greeting and took a seat opposite of her. Mel was my best friend for ages and she knows me way to good. "This is crazy" she said with joy. "Yes, this feels so weird" I replied to her. We ordered Mai Tais for the group and as soon as the drinks arrived, Caroline and Kate also came, taking the other two seats at our table. "To the new dance teacher of the MrBeast crew" Mel cheered and we toasted with our drinks. "Mel, I haven't even decided to accept this offer" I said. "Well, why the hell not?! Are you like stupid?" Caroline nearly screamed. "Yeah, like why would you decline an invitation from MrBeast?" Kate supported her. "I don't know. I'm still not in the best mood since this stuff with Myra" I sighed. "Oh my gosh, Keira... You're literally a pain in the ass. This would be the best opportunity to get over this shitty bitch. Leaving the town and getting  some distance from all the stuff that happened..." Mel said. "Mel is right. Where is our spontaneous, confident Keira? You can't let this girl ruin your life forever." Caroline looked at me seriously. "Plus, these guys are super hot, maybe you can distract yourself a bit." Kate giggled. "Kate!" I gave her a death stare. "No no, she is right!" Mel agreed with her. "Don't miss this opportunity. This can push your career, too!" she added. I thought about it while taking a sip of my drink. I sighed. They were right. This is going to be a big opportunity for me and the Keira before the breakup wouldn't even hesitate for a second. "Okay, I will do this." "Yes!" the girls nearly screamed in excitement. "Go little rockstar!" Mel sang. I shook my head and grinned. These girls are so stupid, I love having them around me. "To great opportunities!" I raised my glass. "This is my girl!" Mel smiled and we all cheered. "What are you waiting for? Text him!" Kate asked impatiently. I rolled my eyes, opened the Instagram chat with Jimmy and texted:

I'm in.
