Austin's POV
We keep practicing for a couple hours then we get in my car to go home. I say "this is gonna be so fire to pull out at the school talent show" and Vince says "I'm so pumped. Why don't we hang out at school?" I say "cause your popular and I was friends with Veronica. We don't want to deal with each others friends." Vince says "it's in a month, how are we gonna learn all this?" I say "we have class everyday. We dance more than we take history. We'll learn it. Plus, it's just us learning it. We don't have to deal with any other stressors."

Vince says "that's fair" nodding. I get him home and he says "goodnight." I yawn saying "goodnight" then I speed home so I can text Eric. I look at my phone and Eric messaged me saying:

Eric: my curiosity got the best of me, what kind of class?
Me: I do hip hop
Eric: so, you're actually a dancer?
Me: yes, since my mom put me in ballet at age 5
Eric: usually parents will put their sons in football or soccer and maybe TBall
Me: my parents made me do that too, ballet stuck till I was old enough to take other classes. Then I took hip hop until I was 'too fat' to be taking ballet. I quit after that.
Eric: baby, the only fat thing about you is your ass.
Me: you're so horny.
Eric: what's the context of the teacher calling you fat though? I'm curious now
Me: I'm literally 17% body fat. I'm not skinny muscular like you should be in ballet. I bench two plates and squat three. I was tired of hearing that I was fat when I'm not, so I quit.
Eric: I got it. That's really dumb and I'm sorry. I've only heard bad things about ballet being damaging to mental health. I'm sure what you do now is much better for you :)

I smile and I try to think of what to say back. I mumble "he's hot and he knows things. Oh my god."

Me: you're so sweet.
Eric: what's your number?
Me: why?
Eric: I need to have your name in my phone as skinny legend like Mariah Carey
Me: I literally can't lol

We trade numbers and I get a text saying:

Eric: hey, baby
Me: hey?
Eric: you look beautiful
Me: ok, who is this?
Eric: sorry my friend was texting you. I gave him chocolate, so he probably won't text you again.
Me: lol ok, you babysitting?
Eric: a little bit, yeah. He's watching Aladdin rn, he's good for the next couple hours.
Me: how cute. So, I don't know how to carry on this conversation. Tell me about yourself
Eric: you're cute. Well, I'm a senior in school and I want to be a physics major when I go to college. I am at the top of my class rank. Fun fact: I am a local bowling and high school weightlifting champ.
Me: you are such a mixed bag and I love it. How did bowling come to be?
Eric: got really good just casually playing with my friends, the owner of the place asked me if I wanted to compete. I had nothing better to do one weekend then I would compete whenever they would hold a competition. I rose the ranks and eventually competed with everyone in the southern region of Maine and I won. Now I'm a local bowling champ.
Me: you literally got bored one weekend and now you're a bowling champion?
Eric: pretty much. You're so fine.
Me: oh stop. I gotta go to bed before we make any bad decisions.
Eric: maybe that would be a good idea. Goodnight, baby.
Me: goodnight :)

I can't believe I am talking to an intellectual as hot as him. He's an athlete and he's so smart. It's only been a few hours of talking over text, don't push it. He's so fine though. I think about Eric till I go to sleep.

The next day

Eric: good morning, babe
Me: good morning :)
Eric: ready for school?
Me: absolutely not. I have bio then pre calc then this afternoon I have to deal with Veronica. So I don't know what to do.
Eric: I'm sure you'll figure it out, baby. Do you need help with bio?
Me: I think I got it, you can help me with physics tomorrow.
Eric: oooo what physics are you taking?
Me: CP physics 1
Eric: you took chemistry last year?
Me: yeah
Eric: I can help you with physics if you need it :)
Me: ok, that would be great because kinematics is confusing (I'm bad at math.)
Eric: lol that is my favorite part of physics, I love kinematics.
Me: you're crazy
Eric: I'm taking both AP Physics C classes. I am crazy.
Me: what's C? Wouldn't there be a 3?
Eric: so physics 1 & 2 are algebra based when there's two C classes that are calculus based. So all the math is calculus instead of algebra. After two, it's calculus.
Me: damn, that is something else. I didn't know that. I gotta drive, I'll text you in a few.
Eric: ok :)

I drive to school and I sit in biology for the morning then when I get to lunch after pre calc, I need to figure out what the hell to do. Veronica went to sit with her friends that are just girls who I doubt even like each other. I see Vince and he smiles at me. I go over to him saying "hey, I know I'm kinda breaking our wall but can I sit with you?" Vince says "of course, sit down" pulling a chair out for me.

One of the guys say "what happened with you and Veronica?" I say "have you met Veronica?" He says "why'd I ask?" Vince mumbles "can we do like only one hour tonight after class?" I say "yeah, what's up?" He says "I'm just tired and I have stuff to do." I say "that's fine, you don't have to ask me. We can risk only doing an hour tonight" quietly. I check my phone and I read a message saying:

Shawn: hey, I'm in town tonight if you want to hang out?

Fuck it. I need to get back at Veronica somehow. But Eric. Eric and I aren't even in the talking phase and I'm allowed to have fun.
