Haley's P.O.V.
I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock. I turned it off and got out of bed and headed to the bathroom.

I went back to my room when I was done and decided to pick my outfit out for the morning because I was gonna dance this morning.

I choose some simple "exercise" clothes, grabbed my dance bag, and headed downstairs.
I found out that the green screen room is perfect so I went in there and plugged my small speaker into my laptop.

I was currently working on Work Song by Hozier for a YouTube video. it's a lot harder to choreograph because there are no mirrors so I can't see myself but it doesn't really matter.
putting on some upbeat music, *cough cough* KEEPUPEP *cough cough* I started to stretch with some simple splits which I held for two minutes and switch to each one(middle right and left).

after about 15 minutes of stretching, I started to dance to the song. I let my body flow to the music and let the dancing take over. every time I do a new move I would write it down on my notebook/binder which has all of my dance choreography in it.

I was dancing to the song for the hundredth time, when I heard someone cough. it was Simon.

"hey!" I smiled as he sat down by my computer.
"hey." he said very sleepily but damn, his morning voice is sexy.
"I hope you don't mind if I was using this room for a dance floor..." I trailed off.
"no it's totally fine. we only use it for messy challenges anyway. what song is this?"
"Work Song by Hozier. hey can you tap the play button when I say?"
"sure" Simon said as he took my laptop and put it in his lap.

I got into the starting position.
"now" I told him and the music started.

I started to dance and it felt as if it was just me and the music and no one else. I finished and heard a few hand claps. I looked around and saw Josh and Vik standing outside of the doors.

"awe guys. thank you!" I said bowing. the other two walked in the room.
"your a dancer?" Josh said as he walked over to Simon.
"yep. I've been dancing for about four years." I smiled at Simon.
"your really good!" Vik said walking over to the others.
"it's not finished yet I still need to change a thing or two." I said as I started to put my pointe shoes on. I was going to work on my pointe lyrical song which was not decided but I was thinking about the song "So" by Ed Sheeran but the acoustic version. I was in the process of choosing that I just decided to come back to it later and took off my pointe shoes and put everything back into my dance bag and head back to my room.

I decided to put in a cozy outfit because it's quite chilly out. I decided to change into what I was wearing to the field later. (picture) minus cleats for now.

I went into the kitchen  to find that a bowl and some cereal was placed in front of a seat for me.

"thanks guys" I said as I took my first bite of the cereal. I noticed that my sleeves kept coming down, revealing my wrists. I hope no one saw.

"hey Haley?" Vik asked looking at me.
"yes?" I asked looking at him.
"what's on your wrists?"
shit
"I got pushed into a bush at the orphanage..." I trailed off.
"but if you get pushed into a bush, it would be in random spots and the lines wouldn't be straight." Simon said as he looked at me.
"y-you got me" I said shakily putting my hands up in defense as my sleeves fell, revealing all my scars.

there was silence until I broke it by sobbing out. I fell into Simon's arms as he started to reassure me that it would be ok, but would it really be okay?
