Chapter One: Money and Kisses

"One. Two. Three. One. Two. Three. Four. One. Two. Three. One. Two. Three. Four. One. Two. Three." Mrs.Winnie, my dance instructor, counted quietly.

Mrs.Winnie observed the way that Caitlin's jump wasn't high enough, I noticed and was gonna tell Caitlin but decided not to.

"Caitlin, jump higher. It helps if you run a bit to get the jump higher, sweetheart." Mrs. Winnie called to her.

Caitlin nodded and walked back to try again.

Mrs.Winnie was one of the best teachers I've had. But then again, she was the only teacher I've had in ballet. Mrs.Winnie and Grams were best friends. Grams was older, but they were still best friends. Mrs.Winnie was a great dancer, family friend, and we all adored her. When Grams passed, she was the one who promised me that I could stay and no one would have to know. Like I said, she was a great family friend. A great family friend and a promise maker who never broke a promise.

"Holly, can you show Caitlin how to do this?" Mrs.Winnie asked me.

I nodded and walked to Caitlin. Caitlin was a little seven year old with brown curly hair,dark blue eyes, and she was a sweetheart.

"Okay, Caitlin. If your trying to do step three, you need to get a bit of gravity under your feet. You don't go too high, but not too low." I looked Caitlin in the eyes.

She smiled, nodded, and tried again.

Mrs.Winnie clapped her hands and exclaimed, "Yes! That was perfect! Caitlin how did you do that?"

Caitlin had her hands behind her back and looked up at Mrs.Winnie.
"Holly helped me."

Mrs. Winnie looked at me. "Well done, Ms. Madison. Teriffic work. Oh! My nephew is coming over to pick up some money. Would you mind taking it to him while I finish up here?"

I nodded.

Melanie, my best friend, came up to me.

Melanie looked at me. "You know who Mrs.Winnie's nephew is, right?"

"Um. No." A confused look settled my face.

"Well, then." She chuckled. "You're in for a surprise."

Melanie walked off. Mrs.Winnie gave me the money, told me to change, and give the money to her nephew.

I said my goodbyes, went to change back into my skirt, crop top, and flats. Then, I packed my stuff and walked down the steps, and to the desk.

I sat down in the chair to look at the computer and log myself out.

"Excuse me. Is my aunt Winnie here?" A deep voice asked.

I looked up quickly. I didn't even hear the door chime open. When I saw who is was, my jaw literally dropped open.

Gavin Storm. Popular. Billionaire bad boy. His dad is famous. His mom owns a fashion company. Girls swoon over him. Good looks. I never thought that a somebody like him would ever talk to a nobody like me.
