The Music Within

Chapter 7

<Shelby Summers P.O.V.>

When we got to the dance studio there were a lot of students. But all of them went out

the moment Ian walked in the room.

"Their scared of you." I told him.

"Obviously they are." Ian said sadly. I took a seat and watch as Ian was about to turn on the music.

"For the second time.....why do you bully Ian?" I asked him. He stopped with his back turned towards me."You seem like a good person." I added.

Ian:"I dont really wanna be a bully....heck I dont even like hurting people!!!" he started. His statement made me a bit confused. "It's just that, eversince my parents died..... I had to live with my uncle. His son..... Chansler...He's such a jerk---"

Shelby:"You mean... my classmate?! Chansler Rylee? The guy whos a pretty-faced moron?!"

Ian: " *chuckles* yeah, his really a freaki'n bad assed dude.He'd do anything to break me. Yet I have no choice but to do anything he says. Because if I dont..... I wont have any home to go to. The only thing I'm greatful to him is he let me join the Dance guild here at W.W.A. Dancing's my passion, atleast that's one thing they didnt take away from me. Besides, their all I have. All my other relatives are in far away countries.My uncle's a mean guy too.Tsk! like father like son, all he thinks of me is another person he has to waste his money for."

Ian paused for a while..... I saw Ian make a fist. He's sincere about this...His face was all dark...filled with anger. I never new Ian was this miserable. And here I was, the one who thought his just a big freak with no heart. Yet his saying these stories all to me. I feel guilty.

Gyaah!!!!! what happened to 'dont judge a book by its cover?!' Shelby you judgemental ga'l!!!!

"In school Im chansler's pet, I serve as his grouchy dog who has to clean up for every freaki'n mess he makes. I have to be the one whose the bully, the one who breaks the bones of every person he hates. Even to the ones he hates for no reason. Like Tyler........ a-and you Shelby." he said.

Now I really feel sad and guilty! I dont know what to do but I just walk towards him and pat his shoulder.

"I-ian, I know im bad at comforting people.But, im sorry......... a-and, if its okay for you...." I take a huge breath and finally say.."I'LL BE YOUR RFIEND" 

After I said that he looked at me with a surprised face....."You dont have to be friends with me just because of what I told you Shelby." he said.

I let go of his shoulder and cross my arms. "PSH! O-KAY THATS IT. I try to be nice and sincere but... ugh! dude, dont worry, i really wanna be your friend. Besides... Ray and I need a new friend. I need a new friend. I cant just hang out with Ray all the time. He might rub his 'gayness' on me" I said.

Ian raises his eyebrows "Ray's gay?!!!" he exclaimed.

"No, at times he acts like one. But dont tell him I said this to yah. So what? You wanna be friends with me or not?" I said firmly.

Ian just chuckles. "Hahaha, sure Shelby... besides your kinda cool." he said.

A smile creeps out from my face, "Would you mind telling that to Ray some other time?" I ask him. We both laugh. We both hung out the whole afternoon. He even introduced me to hi friends. Daniel Deliora and Cherry Peter's. Both of them are known as Cherry and Dan. Their actually dancers too!

They know about Ian's story, they actually had the nerve to comfront Ian then too.

Ian told me to keep his story a secret, he doesnt want Chansler to know he told the three of us... well four, because somewhat we're gonna tell Ray. Anyways, his secret's safe with us.

It was actually fun hanging out with Ian, Dan and Cherry, They seemed like brothers and sisters. Cherry was really hyper.... not to imagine very open. And I mean very open. She farted infront of us and just said "excuse me *u* " then giggled 'cutely'. Dang that girl's cute!!! 

Whatever embarrassing thing she does is okay! Just let her giggle and do her twinkly-eye thing and your heart will melt. You'll even forget she did something stupid!

While Dan's the serious-goofy-athletic type. Oh, he's also a computer geek! He takes 'using a computer' to new level. I feel like im gonna be emberrassed using a computer infont of him....I can hardly use our computer properly T_T Not my fault I only love to use are computer when needed. I find 'searching the net' ....too much effort. Im an out-door kind of person. You know...go somewhere where I can listen to music peacefully.
