The Boy Girl Project

8~ Dance Competition

a/n I've never been to a dance competition so...

My alarm went off at five thirty. Why did we have to have the competition so far? I rolled off of Carson's bed and walked to the closet where a portion was made for me. Both Shawn and Carson had that for me. I switched off living with them. The week was with Shawn and the weekend was with Carson.

Half the time though, Carson would join us at Shawn's house or vice versa. I pulled on my, well actually Shawn's football jersey and leggings. I grabbed my duffel bag and my backpack and threw a shoe at Carson. "You know, you should be nice to me." He told me, rubbing his eyes.

I raised my eyebrows and said "is that so?" He was quite amusing. "Uh huh, I'm driving you at five in the morning!" I rolled my eyes and walked downstairs and past Shawn's room stopping. "Shawn's not coming?" I asked. He told me he was going last night.

Carson shrugged and grabbed his keys. He still had his blue and black pajama pants on. His hair was ruffled and his eyes looked so sleepy. We jumped into the car and pulled into Starbucks. "I want you to call me when you are at the hotel. Also when you go to bed and wake up. Don't talk to strangers, don't wear any crop tops around the hotel and do not kiss random people."

I laughed at the last one, he is so unusual. "Make sure you drink in between dances and eat before practice and performances!" I nodded and we pulled into the school. We got out of his car and walked to the bus. He handed the Mrs. Day my duffel bag, since we didn't have a dance coach, Mrs. Day just tagged along.

There wasn't a dance team before I came here, I asked the principal if we could have one. Carson opened his arms for a hug and he wrapped his arms around me. "Be safe," he murmured before kissing the top of my head.

"Bye Jamie! Love ya!" I smiled back and walked around the bus looking for Jennifer. I stopped short once I seen Mateo kissing Dyanara. Her hands tangled in his hair and his hands place at her hips. "Mateo?" I shrieked, anger, hurt, confusion, all pulsing through my veins.

"Jamie? Its not want you think!" I shook my head at him. "You're unbelievable! We're done!" I mean sure we only dated for like a day and went out twice, he was still my boyfriend. He tried to grab my wrist and I ripped my hand out of his grip. I stormed to the stairs to get on the bus when I heard my name being called.

I turned around to see Shawn standing there. Basketball shorts and a muscle shirt on, his muscles visible. "I didn't think you would come." I said shakily, trying to control my tears. "What happened?" He asked me, I ran to him and cried into his shirt. He wrapped his arms protectively around me.

Truth is, he's my best friend, brother, and dad all wrapped into one amazing dude. Sure he was cute, but he was still my best friend. "Who did it? Tell me Jamie. Tell me now." I wiped my tears and looked up to him. "Mateo cheated on me," anger was evident on his face, and eyes. He pushed me away and I grabbed his hand.

"Shawn no, you will not do anything based off of temporary feelings." Shawn looked at me so angrily, it scared me. "He hurt you Jamie! He cheated on you! No one gets away with hurting you, not your dad, Carson, boy friend. No one!" Then he unexpectedly kissed me. I was so shocked, I just stood there. He pulled away and turned around. Running to his car.

I numbly walked to the bus and curled into a little ball. I turned around and saw Shawn punch Mateo in the nose just as the bus pulled away. Shaking my head and laughing, I felt someone sit down next to me. I looked to see Dyanara.

I took one head phone out of my ear, "may I help you?" I asked her. I didn't see it coming, I didn't see any of it coming actually. But not even a millisecond of looking at her did she slam my head against the window. Well, ouch! I tried to slap her but she repeatedly pushed me into the window.

I heard screaming and yelling, then I finally turned around to slap her, leaving a nice, red, hand sized print on her cheek. Mrs. Day came and pulled Dyanara off me and looked at me. "Hm, Jamie told me I was never going to make it anywhere in life, and she told me she was going to kill me if I didn't move." I scolded at Dyanara and Mrs. Day pushed her firmly on the bus seat. She sat down next to me and wrapped me in a hug.

"I'm always here for you sweet pea. Now, do you have something I can clean your face with?"

We finally pulled up to the hotel and I ran out to the front desk. "Hi we have rooms packed, under the name of Waldeeveryone concierge smiled and gave me the keys to reach room. The team met me by the escalators and I gave everyone their keys, room numbers, and roommates.

I grabbed my bags and went up the stairs to my room. I was sharing the room with Katelyn. I put my bag on the bed and texted Carson I was at the hotel.
We have been driving the whole day, so we all feel asleep.

Waking up the next morning nervous as heck, it was competition day. We met inside the hall at the hotel we rented ants started to practice. (a/n this is getting really boring but it will pick up soon I promise)

After practicing, the team left upstairs and I stood there looking at myself in the mirror. I had long curly brown hair, tan skin and large brown eyes. I looked completely different than when I was little. I walked over to my dance bag. I pulled out my iPhone and put on Born To be Somebody.

I danced my heart out to the song, and then met the
girls upstairs. They had their costumes on black baggy pants, black tank tops, and white, see through, fish netted crop tops on. Their hair were down and they had the red steaks in the two front strands. We piled into the bus and rode to the competition.

We got there, all of us nervous and antsy. I checked us in and we went to our room. I nervously bit on my thumb and then we were called. We went out there and Will Smith's voice were booming through the speakers.

I kept a smile on my face as we danced and danced. After the dance, I ran back there with the rest of the girls squealing and giggling. "Jamie I have never seen you dance better than that before!!!! Aahh!!!" Katelyn told me.

Mrs. Day came and pulled me to the side.

"Mr. Matthews is in the hospital."

Sorry ya'll but I didn't want to ruin the cliffhanger, but I had to put a teaser. 

Teaser: Shawn is in big trouble, so is Jamie. Maybe even Carson. Shawn's condition isn't a one time thing ya know. Maybe a result of a uhum disease perhaps. 

Terrible teaser I know. *huff*
