Pirouette

Chapter Sixteen // The River Flows In You

- Alison's POV -

After lunch I began my search for a perfect song for Miss Autumns assignment, it's just a shame I was stuck with the worlds worst dancer.

I booked one of the small dance studios for two hours to begin working on the assignment.. I forced Ella to come also.

"I'm here I'm here" She said rushing into the studio and dropping her bag in the corner, I sighed loudly.

"You better put all your effort into this dance or I'm getting you kicked out" I shouted angrily, she stared at me weirdly.

"The only person who has the capability of doing that is Bethany, her dad owns this academy" Ella said while laughing. I rolled my eyes and walked away from her.

"I've already chosen the song by the way" I mumbled while putting the disc into the music player.

"Um that's not fair, we're suppose to be working together" Ella huffed.

"No, I choose the song, I make the choreography and you follow my lead" I demanded while giving her a sweet smile, she crossed her arms and sighed.

- Ella's POV -

This girl is such a bitch, I have ideas for this assignment and now they've been thrown out the window!!

"So what's the song you have picked?" I asked while warming up.

"The river flows in you by Yiruma, it's a beautiful piano piece" Alison explained. She played the track and began to gracefully dance around the studio, I watched in silence. She was a pretty amazing dancer.

"That was fantastic" I said quietly when she had finished. Alison smiled, SHE SMILED. I HAVE NEVER SAW HER SMILE BEFORE.

"You just smiled!" I shouted while pointing to her in shock. She went back to an expressionless look and shook her head.

"You're imagining things" Alison said before grabbing her note book and beginning to write down positions and moves to use in the dance. I sat down on the floor beside her.

"Isn't this dance suppose to be a story? How are we going to create a story out of it?" I asked her, she looked over at me.

"You can think of that, I'll get the choreography ready" Alison said while writing things down.

I began to think about Kim constantly being upset, I was worried about somebody I had never spoke to before.

"Look.. Alison can I go now? I need to go find somebody" I mumbled as I was slightly afraid of her, she nodded.

"Just give me your number, we can practise later" Alison said while not making any eye contact, I wrote down my number and left it beside her then ran out of the studio.

I texted Bethany..

"Hey Bethany have you seen Kim around?x"

I threw on some bottoms over my leotard and quickly tied the laces of my shoes then ran to the boarding house.

"Who's Kim?..x" Bethany replied, I rolled my eyes.

"Quiet girl, always at the back of the studio, black hair..??x" I texted back, this is going to take longer than I thought.
