A dancer, A dare, A new life

Chapter 13

^ that's Jacob^ still Jade's POV

It seems like a normal Monday class, ignoring everyone, hanging out with Ashley and Jacob. The first half of school was fine then came lunch. Me and Ashley were getting our lunch like usual since Jacob uses lunch to practice. I was walking with my lunch tray over to a table when Tina used her foot and tripped me with my crutches. I fell face first onto the floor sending my tray flying with all the food on it hiting Natalie in the face. Tina and everyone e around her starts laughing and Natalie screams and runs away. I look at Tina and she just smiles back. Ashley never noticed so I go find her and see her and conner are together. So I just sadly woble down to the dance studio's. I find the studio Jacob is practicing in and slide in and watch him dance. When the music ends he just says hi and keeps dancing.

The summer before sixth grade is when me and Jacob started getting big in the dance world. Me and Jacob had gone to a few dance competitions for many different styles and some amazing dance studio's in LA and New York were paying attention. That week I got a letter from from New Yorks school of Dance (N/A I made this school up) when It first came I never expected the it but was really excited. Then I kept thinking and realized. I don't want to go. I couldn't leave behind Jacob or my family and friends. Then a week later Jacob got a letter from the school of Dance in LA (N/A this is also made up) he was the same as me excited at first then realized he couldn't. We needed to let the schools know by Sunday. So we spend Saturday night in my dance studio. We played in our sleeping bags with the lights off using our phones as flashlights. That is one of my favorite memory's. I don't remember exactly what we were talking about I just member us laghing and talking about our potential dance careers and how we want to continue with our life's. We went to bed around two. That morning mine and Jacobs mom asked us what are decision was we both said "No" "we want to stay here and keep practicing" Jacob said. I finished with "we think this is our best choice." that was a moment that could have changed my life forever, I'm still happy with my choice today.

The end of lunch bell rings. He asks "want to skip class?" "sure you know I hate history." I say. "cmon let's get some ice cream." he says. "alright." I say. Normally I would say no but I've already lost myself. So we walk down to the local market a few blocks away from school. There's a little rain sprinkling so I put on my rain coat and we walk down to the ice cream shop. I get cookie dough and mint and Jacob gets chocolate and vanilla. I notice a bench outside and say "can we go sit out there" pointing to the bench. "of course" he says. We sit on the bench staring into the rain. "you know life stinks." I say. "your totally right. But what would be more not dancing or waiting for your helpless partner to heal and all you can do is wait" he says. "waiting neither of the choices just waiting doing nothing, just waiting." I say. "well I guess that's life." he says. "member that night in sixth grade when we got those letters so we just stayed up all night in my studio. That is one of my favorite memory's" I say. "good because I thought it was silly that I still remeberd that because I love that night. Its in my top four memory's." he says. "well what are are your top four memory's?" I say. "one, the day we met in first grade. Two, the day we found out we were both dancers and danced together. Three, that night together. And four, right now on this bench eating ice cream in the rain." he says. I smile and start laughing he says. "what!" I keep laughing again he ask "what?" I slowly stop laughing and say. "look how silly we are its raining in the middle of winter eating ice cream outside." he starts laughing a little to. I then say. "cmon you can't miss P.E and I'm done with my ice cream" "alright let's go" he says. We start walking back to school and I say, "did you ever notice how dance obsessed are life's are?" "no, but your right are dance obsessed, injury crazy life's will never be remotely normal on top of our regular life's." he says. "yup and I guess all we can do is live so let's try our best." I say.

We get back to school. Jacob heads back to the dance studio. And I get to go hang out with Jase doing nothing "yay" (notice the sarcasm) so head off to the classroom were I meet Jase every day. Last time I saw Jase was last weekend at his party and I'm not in the mood to talk to him. I walk in and say. "Go hang out with your friends out practice or something because right now your failing P.E and hanging out with boring old me when you could be hanging out with your sports friends or anyone more popular then me which could be basically anyone because I am the least popular person of the entire school, so go." I sit down in a desk and pull out my homework. I expect him to yell back or leave, but no he just sits down next to me and pulls out his homework and sits down to. I keep working on my homework for ten minutes when Jase says "can you help me?" "it takes me a second and say "of course come here." I help him and then go back to my own work. We spend the rest of class time working. When the final bell rings he asks "want me to walk you home?" I say, "could you I don't like walking by myself." "alright let's go" he says. We start walking and he says. "you know I'm sorry about the party I'm really confused also I like hanging out with you, your great." "thanks. your pretty cool too." soon I'm home and I go up into my room and start my homework I look over at my dance stuff. My life has become dance obsessed. Why can't I be normal
