Adelaide

My bones are carved from elegance
My blood pumps of agility
My flesh is sophisticated
Every strand of DNA twirls with flawlessness
My heart pumps full of passion
My entire body is made to dance

Dance.

Dance is my whole life it's everything i've ever known. Anytime you hear the name Adelaide Moretti that's anything anyone has ever thought of and that's all they ever will. And I'm fine with that because I know I was made to dance.

My body is graceful and I always get this feeling that's so hard to explain, but this feeling is what I crave when I'm not dancing.

It fills a hole in me that sometimes I don't even realize I have.

I am floating in my own little world. I let the music take over and I am utterly free. Nobody is here watching me and that gives me confidence to just be.

It allows me to show parts of myself that I would never show anyone

The music starts to fade out and I finish the combination perfectly. Finishing in my final pose, a subconscious smile blooms onto my face.

"You really need to work on that"

My smiles drops so fast

That voice.

Him.

I whip around to look at the doorway and sure enough there he is, Griffin Loughty is standing there looking like he owns the place with his disgustingly beautiful and striking blue eyes that could snatch anyones attention and his sharp cheekbones. Ugh his entire bone structure. Makes me sick!

And of course he has his head held high because he's full of confidence and ego it's making his head grow.

"How did you get in here?" I say loudly staring him right in the eyes trying to display any type of confidence but it's like he can see right through, god his eyes are frighteningly beautiful

"I just couldn't stay away from you min skönhet" he replies back sarcastically

he's suck a jerk and that name, min skönhet, he has called me that ever since we were little and I've always hated it because he never tells me what it means.

I've finished taking off my pointe shoes and I've carefully put them in my bag.

I make my way over to him so I'm right up close and personal. I'm not tall enough to look him face to face but I'm about to his shoulder so I'm not that far off.

"Do not call me that, what does it even mean?" his lips quark up but only in one corner making his infamous smirk it does something to my stomach no it doesn't "rhinoceros?, alien?, butthead?"
that makes him chuckle under his breath but he still doesn't confirm any of them to be the real meaning.

Ugh.

Ive had enough with this back and forth so I push Griffin out of the doorway and leave, but of course nothing can go my way and he's gripped onto my wrist and spins me around so I am looking at him again

"You are needed for a 6 am practice tomorrow morning, be there and do not be late"

"I am never late" I reply in the snippiest way possible and I march out of the studio away from Griffin

I cannot stand him

I cannot!

As soon as I open the studio doors to exit I am met with rain pouring down like crazy, what did I expect it seems to always been raining nowadays. I need to start being more prepared.

And of course of all days I chose today to ride my bike, I don't live that far only a 20 minute bike ride and I need the exercise

Im going to get so soaked

You could always..

No! I will not admit defeat to Griffin. Never.

Do not do it Adelaide!

But its like he can read my mind and he walks out the studio doors and just stares at me

"You look like you're trying not to shit yourself" my jaw drops and I just stare at him, my face didn't look like that, right?

Griffin is already walking away by the time I'm done talking to myself and doesn't look back

well now there's no way for me to admit defeat so I drag my feet hoping maybe he will come back

shut up adelaide

I stand by the side of the building where I hide my bike and just look at it contemplating if I really do want to push my bike the whole way home because there is no way I'm sitting on the wet seat or just riding it in general maybe i'll just leave it here for the night it could be safe...

HONK!

Im pretty sure I jump 50 feet out of my skin out of fear but I turn around to see Griffin's white clean,prestigious Aston Martin parked right in front of me and Griffin has the window down while he sits there in his luxury car just watching me

"Can the little prince not get his pretty hair wet?" I yell out to him, I'm just jealous he gets to be in a nice dry car but his hair is kind of pretty, No Adelaide!

Right! Not good Adelaide.

"You think my hairs pretty ladle?"

Crap did I say that out loud.

Oh ya I almost forgot his other nickname for me, it's one of my favorites for sure.

"Shut up. Just gonna sit there and watch me stalker?"
That made him raise an eyebrow and smirk at me

"Stalker? well I was going to offer a ride but I guess as your stalker I would much rather enjoy watching you walk home"

I scoff "Like I would get in a car with you"

"Suit yourself"

He starts to backup but he's still looking at me but I cant admit it I can't let him win.
He's getting pretty far away and he flicks his eyes away to look in his rearview mirror and starts to turn around

"Wait!"

The biggest smirk I've ever seen spreads over his face and I knew that its now

Adelaide- 0
Griffin- 1

but at least I wont be soaked so I leave my bike on the wall and walk over to his car "Why didn't you grab you bike? Bring it over here"

Is he insane? I think he is crazy what's he going to do with it

"Relax ladle I can tell you're overthinking, just put it in the trunk"

Overthinking? I do not overthink what is he talking about. He doesn't even know me.

HONK!

Right. Put the bike in the trunk. I walk over to the wall again and drag my bike over to his car and right when I'm about to open my mouth and ask for him to open the trunk it pops right open. Im starting to think Griffin Loughty is a mind reader.

I quickly pick the bike up, and thanks to ballet I am kind of strong so it isn't that hard, and put it in the truck hustling into the car to try and shield myself from the rain even though I am already soaking wet.

Now all I need to do is survive the car ride with Griffin. This is probably the hardest part of the entire day.

Gosh what was I thinking.
