The Life of a Juilliard Dancer Book #1

Chapter 12

"Fuck!" he yelled. He pulled his hand away from my mouth and judging from the groan he made that had to hurt. I felt satisfied. "Why are you so damn childish?" he said shaking his head. "It's a gift." I replied in a cocky tone.

Elizabeth giggled in the back and it made me smile. She was such a nice girl, how did she end up with a completely douchy boyfriend. He walked into the studio and inside Zach was dancing to 'Beam Me Up'. My head was hurting from straining to see everything that was going on in front of me but he was basically doing hip-hop.

"Help me." I yelled trying to over-power the music. Zach laughed. "Put her down Nathan." he said, "why did you throw her over your shoulder in the first place?". Zach stopped the music. "Because she won't shut-up." Nathan replied putting me down and looking at me. "It's not my fault he's a dirty player and he's dating two girls, at the same time." I said with a smirk.

"What." someone mumbled. "Oops." I said biting my lips. I completely forgot that Elizabeth followed us, I didn't think she would come into the studio. "Liz." Nathan said turning around. I sighed, "Elizabeth, Nathan is dating another girl.". All the color drained from her face."I'm so sorry that I have to tell you." I said bending my head.

"You're a real dick Nathan." she said folding her arms. She wasn't upset or mad she was completely normal and I was really proud of her, most girls would run off and cry but she had a lot of confidence, she was brave. "One thing I have to ask though, why and who Nathan." she said walking up and standing next to me.

"Well you were so perfect I had to have you and Denise was my girlfriend at the time. Denise got super clingy and annoying so I was going to dump her sorry ass.....". I saw a thrill of hope in Elizabeth's eyes but I had a bad feeling about this, "to ask out Lily.".

"What the fuck." Zach said. "What the hell." Elizabeth said. "I honestly saw that coming." I said folding my arms. "Look at her, she's beautiful and she has a banging body who would just watch her, I wanna tap that." Nathan said smirking at me. "You have got to be kidding me." I said, "sorry pretty boy I have a boyfriend and you're a jerk, no wait, calling you a jerk is an insult to jerks.". "Get out." Zach said, he was dead serious.

Nathan didn't argue, he just left with a huge smirk across his stupid face. If he only knew how bad I wanted to wipe it off. "Are you ok Elizabeth?" I asked pulling her into a hug. "Yeah Lil." she said wiping her face in her sleeve. "He doesn't deserve you Liz." I said smiling. "I know." she said letting go. "Do you want me to leave?" Zach asked me. "No........ I wanna show you something." I said. I pulled Liz and whispered in her ear, "let's show Zach the dance Liz.". "But I'm no good Lil, I can only do ballet." she said, "you may be a full blown dancer but I'm not.". "Then show him your ballet." I begged, "please.". "Fine." she groaned.

"Watch this Zach.". I put on the song 'Summertime Sadness' and she began to dance. He watched her carefully as she moved gracefully across the dance floor. "Isn't she amazing." I said. "Wow she's impressive, where did you meet her?" he asked. "Outside." I replied, "some stupid guy threw her down in the carpark and left her there.". He gave me an 'are you serious' look. "It's like all amazing dancers are found knocked down on the floor." I said giggling.

He put his hand around my waist and pulled me closer to him. "You still mad at me?" he asked. "I was never mad at you Zach, I was just really confused, more than usual." I said smirking. Liz stopped and we gave her a round of applause.

"That was amazing." Zach said, "we have dance classes here almost everyday and I would be really happy if you joined them.". She took a while to respond but she finally said yes. "Welcome Elizabeth." Zach said, "I'm your dance captain Zachary.". He smiled at her and she blushed. "And I'm Lily his dance partner," I said in a perky tone, "but you already know me.". "You are way too perky." she said. " I know." I replied smiling. "Well I wish we could stick around and chat but I have to close the studio.' Zach said. 'Shit' I said in my head.That reminds me of the plot, I had to tell Liz but I had to get the key first.
