𝓐𝓼 the ballet master did role call, (Y/N) heard quiet laughter beside her "hush! she's right beside us!" (Y/N) knew that they had no regard of whether she could her them or not because right after that was said even more laughter followed. All (Y/N) could do was sigh and look straight ahead. Confrontation would just lead to more gossip and rumors as much as (Y/N) knew that she still hated the fact. "Girls, i have an announcement to make..." the ballet master said with a slight smile.
The announcement.
The previous week a casting agent was looking for a ballerina to play the white and black swan for the upcoming show in 5 months. Renowned ballet dancers along with famous casting agents would be in the audience, opening newer doors for whoever was chosen in the performance. Everyones attention immediately went to the ballet master as soon as the words left his mouth. Everyone was silent and equally nervous, (Y/N) especially.
The entire studio was silent. If a pin dropped everyone would hear it. "I am extremely proud of..." (Y/N) and the rest of the ballerinas got annoyed at the ballet master for building unnecessary suspense and quiet sighs could be heard "(Y/N) (L/N)!" The ballet master clapped but no one followed in suit.
(Y/N) could feel the glares burn holes through her head. The studio broke into murmers and (Y/N) wanted to burst into tears right there and then but she couldn't. Not now. Not in front of them. "Practice will begin tomorrow, (Y/N) and everyone else will continue as normal."
『 ੈ✩‧₊˚』
As ballet practice came to a close, (Y/N) dreaded going to the dressing room because she knew the comments and remarks that would be exchanged.
(Y/N) heard the droplets of rain hit the roof of the studio 'oh no' (Y/N) mentally groaned and looked out a nearby window and she saw the dark cloud that littered the sky making it look later than it actually was and saw the little droplets of water that came from the sky and sighed 'Just my luck' (Y/N) wanted to hurry to the dressing rooms to ensure she was the first in and out but when she opened the dressing room door, half of the girls were already there...and staring at her.
(Y/N) mentally prepared for the remarks before entering. As soon as she stepped in the dressing a girl approached her "Damn (Y/N) you must be GREAT at giving people head, huh?" she enunciated the 'great' and the whole room burst into laughter but she didn't stop "Sucking your way to the top? Sounds great, i might just try it and steal your spot" (Y/N) just silently side-eyed the female before sighing and walking to her locker.
"What? (Y/N) suddenly can't talk because her mouth's tired from last night?" Another voice spoke. The entire changing room laughed and giggled. It was a running rumour and "joke" that (Y/N) sucked off the ballet master for leading roles and every time she got a leading role, that just 'reinforces' the idea.
(Y/N) wanted to go on her knees and start crying but she knew everyone would laugh at her and she couldn't show them she's actually affected by the rumours so when (Y/N) finished dressing she was planning on leaving it and going home...like she always does. "(Y/N), do you suck off the casting producer too?" A voice said.
(Y/N) slammed her locker closed and turned around, grabbing everyone's attention. All eyes were on (Y/N) now. "Has anyone here actually considered that I'm just a good dancer? That I work hard to get where I am? Maybe if the lot of you actually focused on ballet instead of discrediting my success then you'd be able to compete with me. I come here to do ballet and ballet ALONE, not to discuss other people." With that (Y/N) stormed out of the changing room.
The changing room was filled with silence and everyone exchanged glances. (Y/N) walked out of the studio on the verge of tears. 'That didn't feel as good as i thought it was going to.' She loved ballet with all her heart and she was ecstatic to be chosen for the main dancer in a prestigious performance but she couldn't even feel excited because the rumours would just worsen now and she wished she had just held her tongue.
It was so cold that she could see her breath and she severely underestimated the weather. A million thoughts going through her head and she just couldn't handle it anymore. Her hands found a nearby wall and she collapsed and hugged her knees. The warm tears felt even hotter due to the contrast of temperatures.
She had to come back tomorrow and do everything again. She had to face them again, she had to hear the awful, false rumours again, she had to face the stares, whispers and laughter again. She was just so overwhelmed by everything and couldn't keep it in anymore.
To her luck there were little to no people in the streets but right now that were the least of her concerns. Suddenly she felt a light weight on her shoulders. She turned and saw a man who was about her age with the most striking blue eyes she's ever seen. His eyes were so bright they almost looked as if they were glowing...or maybe that was just (Y/N)'s tear filled eyes.
He had medium length messy jet black hair and extremely prominent eyebags. They were very noticeable due to the contrast between his pale skin and baby blue eyes and the dark complexion of the eyebags making them stand out way more. (Y/N) noticed he put his jacket around her shoulders "Excuse me miss, but are you okay?" The boy spoke. His tone was soft and gentle just like his voice. His voice was quite deep and sounded like old classical music.
His lips were a pink tint and looked nice. (Y/N) shot up realizing how embarrassing the whole ordeal was. The boy's eyes widened slightly revealing more of his ocean eyes. "Y-Yes! I'm great, i was just catching a breather! hehe" (Y/N) came off as more awkward than she anticipated 'Making a fool out of myself in front of a really cute boy? nice work, (Y/N)' (Y/N) silently cursed herself in her head "If you say so miss, also you should really head home, it's getting pretty dark and it's not safe around here at night" The boy said whilst looking around for anyone else around there but to no avail.
(Y/N) had noticed the height difference too now. He was atleast 6'3 (if ur this height or taller feel free to change the height to anything you prefer) "this seems like something out of a wattpad story.." (Y/N) quietly mumbled, thinking out loud "What was that?" The male question leaning closer to (Y/N) to hear her better "Huh..? Oh! i said I'll get got now, thank you mister and bye bye!!" She said before speed walking away 'I've made a big enough fool of myself' (Y/N) thought to herself.
She thought about the boy the whole way home and realized she still had his jacket on but when she realized it was already far too late and the boy was probably long gone by now...
𝓮𝓷𝓭.
