"Let me get this straight, he invites you to dinner, you fall sleep in each other's embrace, he shows romantic gestures towards you and you tell me this now, ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME?" Anastasia tells me, her hands move from making weird hand gestures in the air to placing them on her hips.
We are currently about to start class, and my face is turning redder by the second, given to the fact that everyone is looking at us.
My hair is in a slick bun as always during class, with a purple leotard on, a pastel purple cropped cardigan on top and my ballet shoes
Anastasia is wearing the same thing but instead of purple, she is wearing pink
I turn back to face her, "Anastasia, it was literally yesterday when this happened." My voice calm and low, trying to get her to lower hers.
"Yeah, SO?!?" Her voice high again. "You should have told me right when it happened, do you know how long I've been waiting for something more then just freaking eye contact to happen between you to" she says, and I think her eyes are about to pop out of her head.
"I-" I try to speak but I'm cut off when she engulfs me in a big hug, which I return right away
"Oh love, I'm just so happy for you, you deserve so much love, you deserve the whole world, and I know he is someone that can give you that, you deserve someone to look at you the way he does and make you feel so happy." She puts her hands around my face and I can tell her eyes are watering
I have known Anastasia my whole life, she knows my whole story, she probably even knows me better then I know myself. I know her story, and I probably know her better then she does herself.
Everyone has gone back to doing their own thing due to the fact that Anastasia toned it down after her big "Yeah, SO?!?". The teacher comes in a minute later
"All right everyone, let's begin"

I'm showering while Anastasia is peeing in the toilet
"Ok, so are we gonna match?" She asks me
"YES" I say
"Perfect" we say in sync

We wear the same dress but in different colors. The dress is a corset form on top with buttons in front and lace on top of the breast part. On the bottom part of the dress it is a triangle shape with lace all around the bottom.
I'm wearing the black version while she is wearing it in red.
I'm putting on my small gold hoop earrings when she comes out of the bathroom hopping on one foot trying to put on her other shoe.
"Why don't you just sit down and put it on?" I ask her
"No"
"Alright"
"There, you see" she says with a smile while showing me her red heels on her
A chuckle escapes from my lips as I roll my eyes "you are so stubborn" I say
I'm finishing my red lip and eyeliner while she is putting on her jewelry. She then puts on a red lip and the same eyeliner as me.
She does a half up, half down hairstyle, while I do a sleek ponytail. Once we are done we head out to the club

"Hi, 2 shots, please!" she practically screams at the bartender because of how high the music is.
"Bills, Bills, Bills" by Destiny's Child is currently playin.
We drown the drinks right away. We somehow got those drinks without the bartender asking for her ID. Better for us.
Anastasia grabs my hand and leads us to the dance floor. Even though we are ballerinas, we know how to dance pretty much everything.
'I don't think you do so, you and me are through'
We dance to the next 5 songs in a row, and by the time we are done we sit and take a break, but not before we down 2 more shots each.
"I can't remember the last time we went partying together" Anastasia says
"I know, me neither, it feels so good to be out together again"
"I love you so much" she says
My heart
My eyes start to get watery "I love you so much too" I reach and hug her, she hugs me back instantly
"Why are u crying?" She asks me while looking at me with teary eyes as well
"I'm not, my eyes are just watery and so are yours" I respond with a high pitch voice
"Shut up" she responds hugging me back
Yep, the alcohol is definitely starting to kick in.
"Let's get 2 more shots" I say
We go together as we ask for them
"Holy shit" I say as I scrunch up my face, no matter how many shots I take every single one is as strong as the 1st
"We should get matching tattoos" Anastasia says out of the blue
"When?"
"Now"
"Okay. You're on"
