Pirouette

Chapter Fifteen // Kim

- Kim's POV -

"Hi Kim, I'm Hayden" The tall brown haired boy I was paired up with said, he smiled at me and my heart began to race.

"H-hello" I stuttered, why can't I talk properly?!?

"Looks like we've been paired together" Hayden said while awkwardly putting his hands into his hoodie pockets. It was after class and everybody had gone for lunch but I decided to stay behind to work by the barre.. And Hayden invited himself too.

"You don't speak much do you?" He asked a moment later, I focused on myself in the mirror and ignored his question. He came up behind me and grabbed me around the waist, spinning me around slightly off the ground.

"G-get off me g-get off!!!" I screamed while kicking him, he dropped me and I fell to the floor.

"Wow wow wow, I'm sorry. I was just trying to lighten the mood" He said while stepping back and holding his hands up. My eyes were filled with tears, I kept my head to the floor and breathed in heavily.

"I'm leaving n-now" I stuttered again before grabbing my bag and running out of the studio, I can't deal with this.

"You can't speak properly! Don't speak at all!"

"You look so stupid when you cry"

"Stop running away from people! No body likes you!"

"Bitch! Coward! Pathetic!"

"SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP!!" I screamed in the middle of the corridor, my mind was telling me off for nothing once again. I looked around at the people staring at me weirdly.

I wiped my eyes and ran outside to where the outdoor cafe was. Ella, my roommate and her friends were sitting at a table eating their lunch. I looked over at them for a minute with my blotchy red face and swollen eyes. Then Ella saw me..

"Kim?" She shouted, I sprinted in the opposite direction.

"Kim come back!" I heard being shouted from behind me, I wasn't talking to her.. I wasn't talking to anybody.

I ran and ran and ran until Ella couldn't keep up with me anymore. I had reached the boarding house, it was empty because everybody was at class.

I sat down in the seating area and took a deep breath, why did I ever come to the academy?

I love to dance and its always been a dream of mine to come here, but I should've known that my head wouldn't let me do what I want. I should've known that everyone would make fun of me.

I ran up to my bedroom to tidy myself up before the first hip hop class started.. Let's just hope Hayden or Ella isn't in my class.
