Breaking Point

Prepping

As soon as Justin and Jennifer were done with their little lesson, Jennifer started formulating a plan on how she was to teach Justin and Alex ballroom dancing.

"Oh! Maribelle I'm gonna need your help!" Jennifer cried, grabbing Maribelle by the wrist as they passed each other in the hallway.

"What's up?"

"All right so apparently Justin and Alex want me to teach them... like... ballroom dancing or whatever it's called, and I'm gonna need help with teaching them. Wanna help me?" Jennifer asked, rushing through her words.

"Whoa whoa whoa. Hold up. Justin wants you to teach him?"

"Yeah. That's weird huh??"

"As in the same Justin that is practically in a relationship with Selena?? Don't you think she's gonna see this as a threat and hate you even more??" Maribelle replied. Jennifer's jaw dropped as the realization of her words sank in.

"I can't have her hate me any more than she already does, Belle. It makes me sick just thinking about it." Jennifer said.

"I know. You just gotta be careful when you teach him. I'll help you. And maybe we can get the rest of the crew to learn too!" Maribelle said. "I'll call ask around, maybe there's somebody here that can help you teach Alex the lifts. Lord knows I'm useless in that department." Jennifer giggled.

"Yeah, the bruise that is forming on my leg is proof of that." She playfully accused, and both girls laughed and went on their original courses, both with different agendas than their original ones.

While Maribelle went to all the dancer's rooms, asking if they knew anything about ballroom dancing, if they wanted to join Jennifer's little class, and if they knew how to lift, Jennifer went over to Celeste's room, where Austin and Alex were staying.

"Hey!" Jennifer said, breathless from the running she'd just done. "All right so I'll agree to the whole teaching you how to dance thing, but there's probably gonna be a lot of people wanting to join, Justin's already asked, now I just gotta get Scooter's permission ok? Just wanted to let you know, now I gotta go find Scooter." And with that, she ran out the room, leaving them to let her words sink in in confusion.

Finally, after plenty of roaming the hallways, she found Scooter in the café with Carin.

"Scooter! I've been looking everywhere for you! Hi Carin! All right, so Justin and CeCe's friend want me to teach them ballroom dancing or whatever that's called, so I just wanted to get your ok. Is that ok?" Jennifer said, rushing through her words. Scooter looked at her with shocked, wide eyes.

"Uhh... s-sure if that's what you guys wanna do." Scooter replied. Jennifer smiled excitedly and gave Scooter a hug. She also gave Carin a hug and ran off, leaving both adults shocked and happy that the shy, quiet girl everyone knows is becoming more social.

After Jennifer left the café, she headed back up the elevator and ran to Justin's room. When she knocked on the door, she was once again face-to-face with Selena, who was glaring at her.

"What do you want, Barbie?" she asked, acid in her voice. Jennifer looked down at her shoes.

"Is Justin there? I need to tell him something." Jennifer replied quietly. Selena looked back into the room, and closed the door slightly, so whoever was inside wouldn't hear her.

"Listen, Blondie. Don't try anything funny on Justin. He's mine. Got that?" she said quietly, dangerously. Jennifer bit her lip from saying anything out of line and nodded at the floor. "Good. He's in here."
