When I was little I wanted to be a dancer. I was two when I spotted it. A beautiful red box with gold vines  that when opened lifted up a ballerina and a male ballerina on a small satin red pillow, began playing music and started to spin the two around. The ballerina looked so beautiful with her pin up bun and pretty pink tutu. At that exact moment I decided I wanted to be a beautiful ballerina just like her and that's what I did.

I woke up to the jarring sound of a bell. I sat up, opening my eyes with a yawn. I had slept through History again. I couldn't sleep through another class two days in a row so on my way to English I found Kylie.

"Hey, Kylie" I said, tapping her arm.

"Yeah?" she asked, turning around.

"Can I sleep over at your house tonight?" I asked.

"Well, of course you can you don't even have to ask" Kylie answered with a hug.

"Thanks" I muttered, shedding a small smile. Kylie Lamar is my best and closet friend and has been ever since the young age of three. She was late as usual but this was my first time being late and as we were running down the hallway from opposite directions; she tripped, I slide and we fell. We apologized, started talking and became fast friends. Our four parents were very close friends and apparently even dated each other before they lost touch and hadn't seen  each other since college. After grad, they started going their own ways. They had been able to pick up where they left off and were overjoyed. Dance P.E. is one of the classes I have with Kylie and also love. I get good grades, never let them drop below a B but dancing is what I'm best at even though I don't dance much anymore. I still exercise and stretch  but that's only barely. I stopped dancing seriously when I was nine due to a never ending tragedy and then Kylie started dancing less. Kylie and I almost had all the same classes though my grade was much better than hers. I usually sat in the back with her, silently listening to the teacher while Kylie talked to Craig, Annabelle and Lucy. Kylie and I always sat at the exact same table but it was the best table : got the perfect amount of sunlight, always clean and spotless unlike the other tables. Along with our friends:Annabelle,Lucy,Hailey,Josh and Phoenix. Phoenix was a cool girl, she came from Denmark with an English accent(which she  learned to hide). She's slim and toned with long, model like legs with fire red hair and aqua blue eyes(contacts) and a sweet, flawless baby face.  She's a rebel by heart  but  has a heart of gold and loves to party. I usually  sat in silence, they know I'm not a talker.  They were talking about  something dirty along the lines of clothes so I turned around and then I saw him. Kendrick Lamar. Kendrick is Kylie's seventeen year old brother and the life of my life. I've loved him ever since I can remember, he also took dance lessons with us. He's kind of like Kylie's twin. They both have black hair but his is like a bushy buzz cut and Kylie's flows a few inches past her shoulders, they're both buff but Kylie has barely there muscles and even though Kendrick doesn't look that tough and buff he's not one to be messed with and they both dance, Kylie's good but Kendrick's amazing and they're both super popular.

"Earth to Skylar! Earth to Skylar!" I faintly heard Phoenix say. Kendrick was coming closer and I started to feel a bit panicked. I didn't want him to catch me staring at him but I just couldn't turn away.

"Sky! Sky!" Kylie called, snapping her fingers in my face, finally snapping me out of my trance. I squeaked and turned around, staring down at my lunch.

"Wow, could you be anymore on him?" Craig exclaimed with a chuckle. I felt a blush come on. My head shot up and I stared at him, scared. Craig was more Kendrick's friend than Kylie's and he and Kendrick talked a lot especially when they went to those parties that Kylie and whoever else she decided to invite came along. She sometimes invited me but I usually just made up an excuse or something. He hangs out with us sometimes and just loves to tease like all the time, espcailly about Kendrick.  He might have already told Kendrick about my dreams about him but in my defense I was nine when that happened. I would never tell anyone but Kylie but I can't keep her from blabbing. Besides, she drags it out of me sometime's just for fun.
