Born from a Boom Box

Remember

I wake up to the sound of many yells.

"We be the Pirates,ayee we be the Pirates!" They chant

I get up and sat in a sitting position on my bed.I watch them chant and I smile.With the money we won from the World Jam,we managed to get our vault back.

"Ayee! Our girl is awake!" Someone yells as they all turn their heads at me.
"Good morning,baby!!"
"Get in here,we celebrating!" They yell

I get up and join them.We then begin to talk about last night's battle.
"We were so dope last night,can you guys believe it?!"
"The lights shone perfectly!"
"Moose is the man! He did so well last night!"
"Did y'all see him?!"
"Wait hold up! How can we forget?! Abby showed up in the right time last night,didn't she?!"
"What made you come back?" Someone asks
"Yea?!"

I smile at them.

"I just couldn't get you guys outta my head.." I say laughing.
"See see! I told you guys she'd miss us!" A Santiago yells.
"Okay okay guys! I got a surprise for Luke! Everyone ready?!" Andie yells out.
"What is it?!"
"Show us first!" Someone yells.

Andie hands a folder to Luke and he opens it.We then all gather around him,reading the folder.

"CONGRATULATIONS" it said "You have been admitted to the California film Academy"

"Your film was just so nice I had to share it.I was just hoping you give yourself the chance to live your dream" Andie says
"Dude!! You did it!"
"We so proud of you" we all support him.
"Your gonna have to go!" I tell him
"I don't know guys.." he says
"You should bro,I can handle everything for you until you get back.You gave us the chance to live our dreams,now it's time for you to go,and live your dreams" Jacob tells him

We all agree.Luke has done so much for us,he deserves to be given an opportunity too

** 2 days later **

I run to my class and see that Professor Stewarts is just about to lock his classroom.

"Professor,wait!" I yell at him.

He turns his head to look at me.

"Your late,Ms Rosales.Class is already dismissed." he tells me
"But I haven't showed you my project yet!" I tell him
"I'm sorry it's too late.." he says but I interrupt.
"Please! Just give me a chance,i promise you!" I tell him but he walks pass me.

I sigh loudly as I watch him walk away.

"You know,sir.I did not know how to put into words my love for this.Not even in one single picture." I tell him referring to my project that I hadn't completed since then.With the new camera Luke handed me before he left for Cali,I couldn't bare take a one simple picture of anything referring to what I love,dance.

I stop a kid from passing by me and hand him my mini speaker. "Hold this for just a bit" I tell him as I shuffle some music.

The music begins to blare out,and Professor Stewarts stops walking away,and slowly turns to look at me.

"Guess I'm just gonna have to show you..." I tell him as I start to dance.

I end my dance and Professor Stewarts walks towards me.He then grabs my arm aggressively,like I did something wrong.Luckily,the kid who was holding my speaker managed to pass it back to me while Professor was walking me somewhere.

"Was it something I did?" I ask him curiously. "Where are you taking me anyways?"
"Your gonna thank me for this" he says walking me towards the director's office.
"What the.." I say as we both walk in the director's office.

Professor Stewarts then privately whispers something at the old man by his desk and points at me.What have I done wrong? Professor then walks away from his desk and pats me in the back before he leaves the room.

"Ms Rosales?" The director asks
"Uhh,yea?"
"Come take a seat,please." He says pointing me at the nearest seat from him

I sit down and I question myself why am I here anyways.

"Your professor told me about your love in..dancing.Is that right?" He asks me

I nod.

"Talk to me about it."
"Huh?" I ask,confused.
"Tell me about your love in dancing" he says
"Ohh.Umm,okay" I take a deep breath.

I've been asked this question many times before and I never really had the chance to fully explain myself.Not like with Moose,not like with Andie,and not like with Camille..

"Here I go.." I tell myself "Back in my early days,i guess you can say I was hopeless.I didn't have much of a family..My dad was a drunk phony and my mother left because of some issues.On my first day of high school,I had no friends.No one to hang with,no one to be there for me..and also,no one to be myself around with.You see, I started dancing at a really young age because I had nothing else to do to be honest.." I say laughing "I did not know anyone who had the same taste as I did.And that's when I understood..That people out there,are afraid.Afraid of simply being themselves.As I grew up,I started to grow myself out.To finally be myself even without any friends.I then started performing here in the city,and I told myself..that I am one hell of a lucky person.Unlike those who were afraid to be themselves,I grew up fearless.So the main reason why I love dancing,I guess is because I feel more free."

The director gives me a serious look.

"Ms Rosales,I pronounce you now as a double major in both photography and in dance."

I gasp loudly.

"Wait?! Is this forreal?!"

He nods with a smile on his face.

"Oh my god..Thank you,sir!" I tell him

I exit the school and see Camille waiting for me.She's been waiting for me here before I even entered the school.

"Soo0?!" She asks me
"Well,i am a double-major now.." I tell her
"No way!!! I'm so proud of you!" She pulls me into a hug

We were all now at the airport with Luke holding his luggage.

"This is it!" Moose says with his arm over my shoulder
"I guess it is.." Luke says turning to face us "Man,I'm gonna miss loud mornings with you guys."

We all smile

"Thank you,Luke..Thank you for giving us the opportunity to do what we love" I tell him and everyone agrees.

Luke smiles at us.He then gives a kiss to Andie and we all begin to cheer.

"Ooohh!"
"Ayee!!"
"Ay ay ay ay!" The twins yell out.

I just laugh smiling at them both.

"He going hard!" Jason yells as we all clap for the two of them.
"Alright alright!" Luke yells laughing along with Andie.They kiss for the last time.

Moose then looks at me,and reaches me for a kiss.Finally,our first kiss.I've been waiting so long for this to be honest.I was so focused with his lips on mine that I forgot how to describe our kiss.

"Woooow!"
"Oh my god!!"
"Not another one!!"
"Can I kiss somebody right now?!"

We then both move our faces away from each other and we exchange smiles.We then both look back at Luke and Andie.Luke then comes closer at me and hands me a little box ;

"It's for you,kid.I'll see you soon." He tells me as we give each other a handshake "Your BFABB,remember that."

I smile at him

"Take care of the house guys!" He says now walking away.

Moose looks at me and tells me to open the box.I open the box carefully,not sure what to expect.I then pull out the object,and I had a camera in my hands.

"Ooh!!" They yell
"Your teacher gon' be giving you extra,i tell you that!" They say.

Luke is now gone.

"Let's go party,people!" Moose yells.
"Yea!"
"Woohoo!"

We were now walking out the airport,looking badass.
