Dancer With A Story

Life Changes

"I'm Alice Magnolia, 18 years old. I go to University of the Arts London. Not trying to brag or anything but it is the largest university in Europe to specialise in art, design, fashion and the performing arts. I'm specifically going there for performing arts which allows me to pursue my dream of being a famous dancer. I've been dancing since I was about 7. My mom was a dancer and so was my dad. They danced together...that was until my mom got pregnant with me. She danced when she could but eventually things were starting to hurt her health. She refused to take a break from dancing which eventually...caused my mom to die when she gave birth to me...I never knew what my mom looked like basically and I think that's one of the saddest things that has ever happened to me...but my boyfriend Adam has been helping me get through it" I sobbed into the microphone that was in front of me. This random guy had come up to me while I was walking to meet with my boyfriend. "That's so sad. I'm really sorry for you're lost, I'm happy you're boyfriend is there to support you though" He said touching my shoulder a little. "Its alright. I'm sorry if I made you're viewers cry" I waved at the camera. "They forgive you" That was the first time the camera guy had said something to me this entire time. He had Ginger hair and blue eyes. Gingers were sort of adorable."Well...were done here" Just like that they were walking away and it was back to walking. I finally arrived at the restaurant my boyfriend was at. I could see him sitting at one of the tables and he waved me over. I jogged over and sat down. "Hey baby" I kissed him on his cheek. "I got you water" He sounded a bit nervous. "Um, thanks. So what's up?" I asked drinking a sip of water. The water was freezing against my lips. London was a bit hot today so it was nice to feel something so cold in my mouth. "I need to talk to you about something" Adam couldn't seem to make eye contact with me. "Sure" I said starting to feel a little bit worried. He was quiet for a moment and then he spit it out "I don't this is going to work out. You're an amazing girl Alice but...I'm in love with someone else and she makes me happy. Happier than what you make me. It's not you, it me" I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Did he really use that "Its not you, it's me" bullshit?! I would be underestimating the situation if I said I was angry. I was outraged. "YOU FUCKING BITCH!! YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME!!! WHO IS SHE?!" I stood up and screamed. "Calm down Alice" He said touching my wrist. I smacked his hand away. "WHO IS SHE?!" I screamed once more. "...it's Briana" He said quietly. "...THE GIRL WHO I ALWAYS CAME CRYING TO YOU ABOUT BECAUSE SHE WAS CONSTANTLY INSULTING ME!!! YOU ASSHOLE!!" I grabbed the water that was on the table and poured it over his head. I threw the glass and stomped away.

Where am I now you ask? I'm standing in a boys clothing store just staring at the clothes rack. My EX boyfriend would always shop here. I peeked over the clothes rack only to find myself staring at a guy with ginger hair and blue eyes. He looked familiar but I wouldn't be able to remember considering the only thing on my mind was my awful break up. I just stared at him. My stomach felt like it had a ton of butterflies in it when we made eye contact. "I know you" He spoke first. "We all know someone but that doesn't mean we have to talk to them whenever we see them" I said tilting my head a little. "That's deep but seriously you're that girl I recorded being interviewed. What was you're name?" He asked himself. "My name is Alice. Alice Magnolia. I'm the girl that never got to see her mom". "Right...so where's you're boyfriend? You said you were going to be with him" He smiled at me. "He fucking broke up with me...aren't you going to tell me you're name?" I leaned my head onto the clothes rack. "My names Callum Freezy or Cal and that sucks" He leaned back onto the wall. "Yeah...fucking asshole is dating my enemy now. But I got his ass back. Since he suprised me, I suprised him with a glass of water all over his head" I said smiling at the memory. "That's awesome. The asshole deserved it. Give me a high five" Cal raised his hand up to me. I high fived him starting to feel a tiny bit better. "Well if you have nothing else to do for the rest of the day you can come hang out with me and my friends" He offered already walking out of the store. I quickly jogged to catch up with him. "OK"

After 4 minutes of walking all I could see were a bunch of idiots laughing and dancing stupidly. Where are his friends? Wait...I immediately realized that those were his friends when I saw the guy who was interviewing me amongst them. "Who's the girl Cal?" One of the guys asked mockingly. "Calm the fuck down JJ, I just met her. Her boyfriend dumped her today, she seemed upset so I told her she could tag along with us" Cal explained while sitting down on one of the tables. "Few minutes later, Cal's fucking her" Another one of the guys said while laughing. Everyone seemed to find it hilarious except for me and Cal. A girl walked over to me. She had blue and black hair. ( A/N If you read my other story you will know who she is and this will be a spoiler for the upcoming chapters of "I Really Like You" ) "Sorry about Simon's inappropriate jokes and I'm Carrie Gonzal. What's you're name?" She at least seemed nice. "I'm Alice Magnolia" I said shaking her hand. "Magnolia, as in a tree or shrub with large, typically creamy-pink, waxy flowers on it" She laughed. Nevermind, I don't like her. "Carrie that's rude" A red haired girl said. Could I possibly like her or is she mean too? "I'm sorry for everyone. They're very inappropriate people". "Like you have the nerve to call someone else inappropriate" Another boy who was a bit creepy looking. One, he had all black on and black hair. 2, there was obviously a knife in his pants pocket and cuts on his wrist that only I seemed to of noticed. I guess he caught me looking because he pulled the sleeve on his jacket down farther. "So what do you do for a living?" The red head asked. "I'm still in University but when I get out I plan to be a dancer" I said nervously. I wanted to leave. "Well I have to get back now actually so I'll be going". I turned to walk away when I heard footsteps behind me and someone say "Awww he's going to walk her out". It was Cal who was following me. "I just wanted to make sure you were alright". "I'm good". "Well I hope you don't mind me asking you for you're number". I stopped walking. "Why?" I asked. "I just want you to know that if you ever need someone to talk to, I'm here". I was hesitant at first but soon enough I was putting my number in his phone. "I'm going to make you're contact be called 'the pretty girl'" He said putting his phone in his back pocket. "What?" I asked slightly confused. Was he...flirting with me? "It was a joke. I'll just put you in as Alice. Well, I hope you have a wonderful day. Bye" He slowly started to walk back to his friends. After realizing what the hell just happened I finally decided to start walking back to the school.
