Pirouette

Chapter Thirteen // Late Night Tears

- Ella's POV -

It was 9:00pm and I had been hanging out with Bethany all day, she was really nice under the bratty attitude.

"Where is your dorm room?" Bethany asked me as we headed upstairs.

"Mine is number 13, what's yours?"

"22, we're not that far from each other" She said while linking arms with me, I nodded.

"Who do you share with? I'm stuck with bitchy Alison" Bethany said while rolling her eyes. I laughed slightly.

"I've got Kim. She doesn't speak at all!" I moaned before coming to my dorm. I said goodbye to Bethany and entered the room.

Kim was sitting silently at her desk, she seemed to be writing something down in a journal.

"Hi Kim" I said quietly while throwing my bag on to my bed. She didn't answer.

"Kim!" I shouted, still no answer. What is her problem?

"This is going to be a great year for you, you'll have no friends if you don't speak to anyone" I whined, she adjusted her seat slightly but still wouldn't answer. I sighed and gave up.

It was early but I decided to get changed into my pyjamas and listen to some music, preferably classical as its where I get inspiration from.

- Bethany's POV -

I entered the dorm to see Alison doing stretches on the bedroom floor, I jumped over her and laughed.

"Do you ever give yourself a break?" I asked while sitting down on my bed, she continued to stretch.

"If I stop I won't be the best" She growled. I threw my shoes into the corner of the room and pulled the blankets on my bed around me.

"Dude, you're probably the best dancer in the class.. You don't need extra work" I moaned while turning on the tiny TV my dad bought me.

"Can you turn that down? I can't concentrate" Alison shouted before snatching the remote from my hands and muting it. I huffed loudly and turned away from her.

How am I going to stick this child for a whole year?

- Ella's POV -

My first class tomorrow was classical ballet and it was at 8:30am so I decided to have an early night. Kim was still sitting at her desk writing something.. I'm really curious as to what it might be.

I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep......

But I was awakened in the night by a silent sobbing sound.. I turned to my right side slowly to see it was coming from Kim's bed.

"Kim?" I whispered but as soon as I had spoke she went silent and hid under her blankets. I sat up and looked over at her.

"Kim.. Why are you crying?" I asked again, she stayed completely still. It was 3:00am and we were due up early in the morning for class, why would she be awake at this time?

She wouldn't answer me.. So I got back into bed.

"I know we might not know each other.. But I'm here if you want to talk" I whispered before smiling to myself. I snuggled up once again and drifted off..
