Chapter 5

Sam hadn't talked to Julie since Saturday night. She tried calling and texting him but no response. She felt really bad. When she was walking to her locker that Monday, Sam was waiting for her there.

"Hi." She said surprised.

"Hi."

"I didn't think you were talking to me anymore."

"I was just pissed off and I took it out on you." "I shouldn't have." "I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry to." "Maybe the party was a bad idea."

"No." "Before what happened with that dickhead, it was fun." "I wanted to apologize in person." "That's why I wasn't answering you." "When's the next time you plan on practicing your ballet."

"Wednesday after school."

"Can I come with you and watch?"

"Sure." "Meet me at my car after school."

"Ok" "Eating lunch with me today?"

"Of course."

"See you in English."

"Bye."

"Bye." He walked away.

Later that day when Ben walked into English Sam noticed he had a cut on his lip and smirked.

"Proud of yourself huh?" Julie whispered smiling.

"Damn right."

Julie had just sat down with Sam and Toby at lunch.

"Hi you guys." She said.

"Hi." Sam said.

"Hi" Toby said.

The PA system came on.

"Hello students." The principal said. It's time to announce the nominees for this year's prom king and queen. The nominees for queen are Julie Witherspoon and Camille Kruger." "And the nominees for prom king are Benjamin Porter and Samuel Ratsch." "Good luck to all those nominated."

"Who the fuck nominated me?" Sam said confused.

"Congratulations." Julie said.

Ben came up to there table.

"I don't know how this is happening skaterfreak, but no way in hell will you ever be prom king." Ben said.

"Maybe when I beat you, you'll finally see that the majority of the school thinks you're an asshole." Sam picked up a ketchup bottle and squirted it all over Ben's shirt." Everyone laughed. Ben walked away embarrassed.

After lunch Julie was in the bathroom. She sent a text. It read.

I've practically won already since he's nominated. - Julie

It's not over yet. There's no way skaterfreak is winning. - Camille

Don't call him that. His name is Sam. She typed out but deleted.

We'll see. - Julie

Wednesday after school Sam was waiting by Julie's car. She unlocked as she walked up to it.

"Hi." She said.

"Hi." They got in the car and left.

They went to the dance studio. They were the only ones there.

"I have to get changed." "I'll only be a few minutes." "I'm practicing my routine for my Juilliard audition." "You can sit down.

As Julie was in the dressing room putting a red ribbon in her hair she couldn't understand why she was nervous to perform the routine.

As she was dancing to the music Sam was captivated by her. He thought she looked so beautiful. When she finished he clapped and went over to her.

"That was great." He said. "You're definitely getting into Juilliard."

"You think?"

"Hell yes." "I always thought you needed another person to lift you up in ballet."

"It all depends on what you're doing."

"Does that make it harder?"

"Not really." "See?" She jumped up into his arms. He held her like a bride. "Good catch."

"Thanks" "Julie."

"Hmm?" Their lips were coming closer together. They both closed their eyes. Suddenly a staff member walked through the door. He put her down. "We'll go after I change."

"Ok."

She went back to change.

"What the hell did I almost do?" She thought. "I can't kiss Sam." "That's not part of it."
