Dance With Me ~ Chapter 1

Rosie's POV

"Rosie, honey, if you don't get down here fast you'll miss the bus!" shouted my mom from downstairs.

"I know, I know, I'm almost done already, Ma!" I replied as I raced over to my closet. I quickly picked out a random outfit and was about to put my hair up into a quick, yet messy, bun when I saw my reflection in my door mirror. Gosh, I'm a mess!, I thought. My jet black hair curled its way down my back looking more like a bird's nest than anything else and my small, pink lips covered my straight, and not yet brushed, teeth. The only thing that really stood out in my petite face was my rather large, deep emerald eyes behind my wide-rimmed "nerd" glasses. Ma says I would look prettier if I didn't always wear such unflattering clothes.

"Rosie, stop staring at yourself in the mirror and get ready!", exclaimed my father, who was standing in my doorway at the moment,"Your bus is almost here!".

Oops!

I snapped back into reality and hurried into the bathroom. I finished getting ready and took two steps at a time down the stairs.

"Love you, Ma! Love you, Dad!" I hollered as I grabbed an apple from the kitchen and ran out the door just in time to see the bus slow to a stop in front of my house.

..::At School::..

What kind of nationalism can be said to have influenced the development of democracy in the U.S.?

Easy, I thought, Civic nationalism.

I filled in the answer and gathered up the test sheet, feeling satisfied with my effort. I grabbed my backpack and stood up to hand in my test. Just as I was walking towards Mr. Connors desk, Oomph!, my left cheek connected with the floor and I was sprawled on the floor in seconds.

"Oh dear, are you okay?" questioned Lily Samson in one of the most pathetic, innocent voices I've ever heard.

"Yes, are you alright, Ms. Anders?" asked Mr. Connors with actual concern in his voice.

"Y-yeah, I'm fine," I mumbled,"I just...uh..t-tripped", I then proceeded to glare at Lily's smirk as I stood up and dusted myself off. I handed Mr. Connors my test right as the final bell rang. I quickly walked through the hallway avoiding rude shoves.

As I hopped into the bus, I thought about my afternoon dance classes. I take dance every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Dance is my life; it's the only way I can express myself. This is because I've been pretty much closed-off from most people after my first big crush, Jared Dareen, made a fool out of me in front of the whole student body when I admitted that I liked him.

People describe me as that smart girl in the corner of the library, reading a book. Hence the reason why I say that no one actually knows me. Only through dance is how I really shine.

I stepped out of the bus and walked to my door as the bus drove around the corner. I unlocked it and went up to my room. I quickly put on my contacts, which I rarely use outside of my dance classes, and put on a tight, white tank top with some black shorts along with skin colored dance tights. I then slipped on some sandals and packed ballet shoes, tap shoes, high heels, jazz shoes, and regular sneakers since Ms. Rivera teaches us something completely different every two weeks. I gathered my hair into a high ponytail leaving my bangs out and walked out of the house to find Dad waiting in his car for me in the driveway.

..::In Dance Studio::..

So it's been decided; the class will be doing tango for the next two weeks. I would be perfectly okay with this if it wouldn't have been for the fact that it's hard talking to a guy let alone dancing with one.

"Okay, everyone! I'm going to pair you guys up now," Ms. Rivera said reading from a pink Sticky Note,"Ann with Derek, Gigi with Hugh, Rosie with..."

"Sorry I'm late! I lost track of time!" he said as I met those gorgeous, electric blue eyes. Then Ms. Rivera continued.

"Jared."
