And She Danced. ||✅ *Undergoing Construction*

Chpt. 18 ~ Stripers of the Night

The days flew by quickly. So fast, that it was already the night of my recital, also meaning the last Saturday of my vacation.

Monday morning, I'm back to school, and back home.

Gran and I had grown really close too, that's saying something.

I stood infront of the mirror of the changing room.

I wore a baby blue fuzzy skirt, with a baby blue mini jacket over my black leotard. I had on a jet black leggings with a baby blue pumps.

My brown-ish red hair was in a tight bun with two tendrils coming down the front.

Dad was making sure that everything was in order, from my costume to my routine.

He occasionally kept peeking out the curtains to look at the competition, then came back saying that they 'had nothing on me'.

He was basically my dance mom.

Mom was outside in the audience, trying to keep my siblings in order.

Zachary was in the male changing room, I didn't get to see him as yet, but he texted me when he came, so I know he's here.

"Looking good, alicat.", calum said, coming into my dressing room.

Shane, cyder, and sandy were with him.

I hadn't seen Skylar since that night. Strange, how after that night he just disappeared out of thin air. It was an awesome strange night too...

/*/*Two weeks earlier...*/*/

"What the hell are you doing here, Skylar?" I hissed.

"Come down", he shouted.

I rolled my eyes and went inside.

"I'll be back in a second", I said to sandy.

She was too wrapped up in the movie to form a proper reply, she simply nodded her head and grunted.

Looking at her strangely, I sighed and left.

It was still pretty crowded so I slipped out unnoticed.

Getting to the back of the yard, I spotted Skylar, leaning against a tree, beer to His head.

"Are you drunk?" I asked edging closer to him.

He shook his head and threw the empty bottle to the side.

He turned and stared at me.

"You օkaʏ? You seem pretty upset earlier."

He snorted. "Yah, well, my mother's a bitch."

I wanted to asked that happened between them, but decided against it.

He kept staring at me, so hard I felt it.

"What? Is there something on my face?", I asked, bringing my hand to my face.

He chuckled and shook his head.

"You're funny, you know that?"

I smiled. "I've been told."

"And cocky too", he added.

I rolled my eyes but said nothing.

"Let's go out."

"Out where? Its after 10, Skylar!"

"Let's go have fun."

"And where would we go to do that?", I asked folding my arms.

"Everywhere. Seriously, Alisha, how do you pass each term?"
