Austin's POV
I put on mid shorts and a longer tee shirt. I say "this is Eric's" sighing and I say "now I know why it's a bit big. I like it with these shorts." I put on a hat and I say "mom, I'm heading to the studio! Eric might come by later!" Mom says "shush, I haven't had coffee yet" and I grab my keys, my dance bag, then I leave. I have to go to the studio early this Monday morning for the teachers meeting. It's basically to deal out schedules and assign people age groups.

I take a sweatshirt out of my backseat when I get it the studio and I say "mmm, this is Eric's too." I smile and I take a picture of myself and send it to Eric. I go in and we all meet in a studio and Jacklyn says "morning." I say "good morning" smiling and all six of us sit on the floor. Five adult teachers that work here and myself. She quietly says "why are you so happy? You smell nice by the way" and I say "it's my boyfriends cologne. I found his sweatshirt in my backseat this morning."

She chuckles saying "is he coming by later? I need some motivation." I say "he should be. He's dropping off his cousin." Jacklyn says "ok, we have fifteen minutes till kids start showing. Who wants what age group?" She hands out attendance lists and I take the one that Angela is in which is the fifteen to seventeen girls group. Jacklyn says "you took my favorite one." I say "I can handle girls hitting on me better than boys. You're used to guys anyway. I'm not an adult, girls my age will listen to me as a teacher and boys absolutely will not."

She says "fine, I'll take them" and we split our schedules up with the age groups. Jacklyn says "ok, people. Since you have the biggest class, you get this room" looking at me. I say "I'm so hype. I can finally use Cardi B and not be judged by my classmates. Other than Vincent but he's special" laying on the spring floor. Jacklyn makes her wrist go limp and she says "you mean?" I laugh saying " true" and she says "good luck. Any overflow goes into your class, so you might have new registers this morning but I doubt it."

I nod saying "you got it." I sit at the desk in the room and almost all of the girls come in with their moms. That must be on the registration sheet because in what world would people my age bring their moms anywhere? Vince comes in when the first couple girls show up. I say "you look rough" and he says "no one was home yesterday. I'm gonna sit where you're sitting the rest of the day" quietly. I laugh saying "oh honey. Was it good?" Vince says "of course it was, I'm in too much pain for it not to be" and I giggle. I say "I'm glad, I'm going to the floor" and he sits down.

I sit on the floor with everyone that's here so far. Eric comes in saying "good morning, teachers. I am taking dunkin orders" as Vince signs Angela in. I say "good morning" and he says "hey" smiling and I say "you know what I want." Vince says "stop being morning people. I love you and you know what I want, Eric." Eric says "was your toy around yesterday?" Vince says "how did you know?" Eric says "you look like Austin" and walks to all the rooms, taking peoples orders.

I chuckle and Vince says "I hate him." I say "no you don't. He's cute" and one of the girls say "please say he's sticking around." Angela says "please no" and I chuckle saying "he won't. He has a car inspection later. Not like he could do it himself but whatever" stretching my back out. Jacklyn pops her head in the door saying "oh my god, he just asked for my dunkin order. Can I have him?" I say "I am not answering that for you, Jackie." I stretch while the rest of my people get here and I say "just find a spot on the floor. That'll be your spot for now. We're just gonna stretch then do a warm up to go into everything I need to know about you that's not on the paper. Cool?"

They nod and I say "just of the stretches I do, we're gonna do both sides so it doesn't matter which way you go. So, how many of you know each other? I see a few familiar faces" and a girl says "I don't know anyone." Angela says "me either" and I say "where are you from and what's your name again?" The girl says "I'm Mandi and I'm from the coast of Maine." Angela says "I'm from Central Maine, where are you from?" Mandi says "I live in Boothbay in the summer only then I live in Central Maine the rest of the year." Angela says "that's cool, we should carpool cause you're like an hour northeast of me."

She says "for sure" nodding and Eric comes back saying "I have to get going. I was scheduled to work today but I love you and I'll see you later?" I say "I love you too but now that you bought everyone drinks they're in love with you too." Eric smiles saying "I don't care. Love you and catch you later." I say "love you, see you later" smiling and he leaves.

I get up and I shut the door saying "ok, let's be as productive as we can today. Just remember your level of experience is not relevant. We're all gonna get really close over this summer, so I recommend not causing any drama and just being friends. We can't have any rifts in our relationships in this class because that is how we lose at the showcase. There is a prize given by a special guest every year and my class has been undefeated for the last like five years. I wasn't teaching but I will carry that streak on. You guys want to win, right?"

One of the girls say "what are we winning?" I say "the prize is different every year but it's big money usually for our team to go and do what we want when intensives end. We also get bragging rights." One of the girls say "what's your style of hip hop and teaching?" I say "I've never taught before, but I took this group so I didn't feel like I was herding cats. My style is versatile, I find I thrive with any style really. I want to learn what your styles are, so I can build off it for our choreography."
