Star In The Shadow // CTH [Editing process]

I

Ten years ago I was at a competition with a kid. He was my partner, my dancing partner. Not to brag , but we were one of the best couples for being 8 years old, well he was 10. We didn't win that year though, that's when we got separated. After that, I never saw him again. He got into soccer, but then dropped out to get into a band; this band being one of the biggest ones in the music industry right now. I don't know where he is, even though I'm a fan of their band. I just don't want to get too involved. He's probably at home or on tour. I just actually wish we could talk again, just to see if he remembers me.

I'm thinking all these while I'm looking at their pictures. I have to accept that I sometimes become a strong fangirl. My thoughts are changed when my best friend, Ari, starts saying something. I'm trying to understand her but it's too late.

"Miss. Prescott, I'm gonna have to take your phone away..." Says Mrs. Monet as she looks at me through her glasses. I swear she's like a cheetah and an eagle. Although the cheetah part might not be true, she moves as slow as a turtle. She still has the clever part.

"Sorry Mrs. Monet... I promise I won't use it again during school. Please don't take it away. I'll just put it in my pocket." I beg as I feel like only this can ruin my perfect student record.

"Fine, but only because it's the first time." She says as she starts to walk through the hall full of students.

"*sight* That was a close one R." Says Ari as I open my locker to get my bag.

"I know. Thanks for trying to warn me." I say as I put my books inside and finally grab my bag. It's Friday, I don't have homework (thank God).

"No prob. That's what besties are for..." She says as I close my locker and we head to our last class.

While we keep walking two hands cover my eyes. My smile slowly faids as I already know who it is.

"Charlie..." I say as I turn around and look at my boyfriend.

"Hey babe." He says as he tries to kiss me on the lips, but fails and kisses my cheek since I moved. I don't want to kiss him.

He has change a lot. At first he was really caring and sweet. Don't get me wrong, he still is. It' just something's off. I don't know what it is, but I'm sure I'll find out sooner or later. For now I just need to find a way to separate for a while. Because, now that I think about it, I think we both have changed. I'm more focused on getting a scholarship to Yale, and he's too busy doing stuff that fraternity presidents do. Yes, we might be in a private art school, but we have a fraternity and sorority. We're just not taking that much of an effort to be together anymore. The only thing that keeps us connected is our one last class, which we take together.

"You thinking about me?" He asks as he looks at me with a weird smirk.

"Nope..." I say as an answer.

Ari keeps looking at me like "you go girl", since she knows why I'm like this, and Charlie looks really offended. What can I say, I don't want him to know I was thinking about him. It would only make things harder. As we enter the dancing classroom, or as we like to call it Ballroom, Miss. Sharell is doing some steps in front of the mirror. I put my bag down and change to my shoes, since I had Gym class today I was already changed.

"You guys are finally here..." Mrs. Sharell says as she comes closer to the three of us and the other students enter.

"Sorry we are late Miss. Sharell..." Says Madison, the rich/popular/sorority girl from school. She got into dancing class with me. I have to admit that she's pretty good. But she's in, thanks to the money her parents can give to this school.

"It's ok... Now everybody lets start from the top on the Unforgettable dance" Says Mrs. Sharell as she claps to make us hurry.

"You don't look so good today Roxane... Oh wait, you never do. But if it makes you feel better you're dance is even worse." Says Madison as she stands in the front of the group.

Great... I'm doing what I love to do; my passion, with my bestie. But I'm also stuck with my boyfriend and my enemy... What to do?
