Chapter 5

[NOELLE]

   I get up from my seat to throw away my muffin wrapper, I was so in tune with our conversation I didn't even realize I finished it. Hero walked up to the trash can throwing his things away. I start to go back to my seat.

"Noelle, wait one second."

There he goes again, calling me by my whole name. Yes I know it's my name but that's beside the point.

"Yes?"

"Sorry about Slater, he's not used to being rejected," he rubs the back of his neck.

"Well he better learn, because next time I'll just slap him instead of saying no." I smile.

"Noted, but I promise there won't be a next time."

It's Monday, I'm in the locker room getting ready for Mrs. Dumont's class. I'm wearing a leotard with tights and a wrap skirt. My parents texted me telling me their plane lands at 5 pm.

Yay, I'm totally so excited to hear my Mom and sister brag about how amazing she's doing in Paris. Now I would be more of a supportive sister if Nadia was one, she acts supportive one minute but the second we could be going for the same thing she's an ass. It all depends I guess.

I put on my pointe shoes and walk into the studio. The football players are already here and Hero is waiting in my spot.

"Hey Hero," I sit on the floor to stretch.

He joins me, "Why ballet?"

"What do you mean?"

"Like, why do you do ballet."

"Well honestly the movie 'Barbie of Swan Lake'"

His brows furrowed, "A barbie movie...made you want to do ballet?"

"Yeah, I don't know I just thought it was pretty."

He laughs, "That's adorable, I wouldn't think a barbie movie would make someone want to do something."

"Well," I stand up. "As I said, I thought It was pretty."

Some could say that my sister is the reason I wanted to do ballet (like her and my Mom), but believe it or not, it was Barbie. I had no interest in it until I saw the movie 'Barbie of Swan Lake' and till this day it's one of my favorite movies. I will continue to watch it until I die.

"Okay everyone I have this week's assignment." Mrs. Dumont says. "On Friday you were assigned your partners and hopefully got to know them a bit. Well, this Saturday they have a football game to prepare them you will create a dance routine and perform it this Friday. The studio will be open after classes this week so you can come and practice anytime. Now get to it."

This should be interesting.

I know this is short the next chapter is too, but chapter 7 will be longer.
