My Destiny

Chapter 2

He walks back to his original position. I keep my things on the rack and grab my track suit and gym tee so that it will be comfortable to practice.
I return back from the changing room and Ryan is still standing where he was when i left.
'Hey everyone, I am Isha. Miss Stellon has given me the responsibility to teach you guys a few forms for thr annual event. Make sure everyone reports on time every single day.', My words coming out clear.
'Yeah for sure', he chuckles and rolls his eyes and I ignore him
'Miss Harvey', I turn back and its Miss Stellon
'Yes', I reply
'Their's a change in the plan, you guys should be pair of two, Thank you', she says and leaves without asking for our approval.
Everyone pairs up with his or her friend or girlfriend or boyfriend and only me and Ryan are left unpaired. I look at him and he looks at me with a confused expression.
'Ryan.... can you find a pair for yourself?', my voice way too low
'Ryan huh?... now u even know my name.', he says by coming closer to me and am almost about to trip on my own foot.
'Yeah I heard someone call you that, so i guessed it.', i replied
'Is it?', he replies while lifting one eye brow
'Yeah', i replied
'I don't have a pair, I guess we can be one.', he says and I turn towards him. He said what, he wants to pair with me. Get ready Isha to hear swearing.
'You.. you wanna pair up with me.', I stammer
'Yeah why not, it's good to be paired up with the best dancer and be in lime light.', did he just call me the best dancer. What does being in limelight mean, does he want himself to be in limelight or portray that he can get the best dancer. Am calling my self best dancer. Damn, this will boost up my confidence.
'Yeah yeah that fine with me.' I reply trying to hide my blush
We walk towards the stage. Everyone took their position.
'Where are you going?', Ryan says
'In the front, that's were will perform and that our position.,' I reply back and seems annoyed by this
'Are you fucking crazy. You really think am gonna stand at the center and actually perform. Who even takes the main spot.' he looks annoyed
'Me, It's not wrong in taking the center position. All the eyes will be on us.' I fire back
'That's the fucking problem, I don't want people to stare at me.', he replies
'Look, I always get the main position, if you wanna pair up with me then you have to put up with me. Other wise I'll advice you to find another partner.', my words being very clear.
'He looks annoyed and walks away and slams the hall door.' I just ignore and worry about getting a new partner.
I teach them a few steps, at first they stumble but gradually pick up. Steff picks up the steps quite fast. I was impressed by her patience and the way she was carrying herself while dancing.
We wrap up for today and I head towards my house. Ryan's words play in my head repeatedly
'to be paired with the best dancer', I blush upon the thoughts... ahh shit
'Am sorry', I say without looking at the person.
'Often girls lose their control after looking at me', similar voice, It was him. Argh again I will get insulted.
'Its not true, I.. I just didn't see you', I replied back.
'Looks like you were lost in your thoughts', true... how does he know. Was he keeping an eye on me for a while when I was approaching and banged myself.
'Yeah.. I mean no. I was thinking about the competition. I really need to win it. I want to attach the certificate on my college application.' Why am I telling him about all this.
'Ahhh.. about that. I.. I.. umm am sorry for what happened before at the dance hall', His eyes numb and innocent.
'Yeah it was very embarrassing when you just walked out. Well it's okay', I turn my back towards him and start walking.
'hey hey', He holds my wrist and a shock passes through my body.
'What do you want now?', removing my wrist from his grip
'I.. I want to be partners. I won't mind standing at the center or where ever you say. I just need to get my grade up as I got suspended from football.' he says with a disappointed face.
'Great. Why did you get suspended though?', curious me.
'OMFG Ish why do you have to ask so many questions.', He frowns. Wait what ISH? Did he just give me a nick name. I just let it go. I like it.
'I just wanted to know the reason, maybe I could help you or something.' I say and his eyes widen.
'Wait.. you want to help me huh'. 'He laughs upon the thought of me helping him.
'I mean yeah why not, it's no wrong in helping someone when that person has helped you.' I reply, the last words coming out very abruptly.
'What do you mean help you as in becoming your partner?', he knows it very clearly what am trying to say but still he wants to play along.
'Yeah for that', I give a dry reply
'Well I had no choice. Who else would even be your partner.' ouch
'I mean your bossy so yeah it's good if am your partner.' he gives a smirk
'Yeah' i reply
'Anyways I actually gotta go, Hope i'll see your tomorrow ON TIME.' specifying last two words
'You'll see', he replies and disappears into the streets.
Soon I reach home and complete all my notes. I have to even select the song. Arghh way to much of work.
I change into my night wear and fall asleep. Oh god give me some energy for tomorrow to deal with him.
