Are you guys enjoying story so far? Lemme know bc well I need to know lmao

I froze up, knowing that a teacher, an attractive teacher, is at a club I practically own. I hope he doesn't notice it's me and just some random guy, though that's unlikely. Im one of his most annoying students so he'll obviously remember my face.

The curtains closed back. The crowd was still cheering. Were they really that good? Or is the crowd really that drunk? I tried to focus on everything else except the fact that my biology teacher was in front of me. I moved right past him and continued walking out of the crowd. That was weird. I'm going to get a lecture at school tomorrow, I just know it.

"Good show, guys!" I told Ash and Hayley as they were walking offstage. They both nodded in agreement. I think it was the best show all year.

"Let's collect all of this money and split the profits." Hayley asked Ash, and they started picking it all up while I went to Rian's office.

***

"Great show tonight, guys!" Rian told us. We were currently at a staff meeting; we have these after every show. There weren't that many employees, so they were usually short and brief.

"So, plans for next Monday...since the summer is near, and all of our younger dancers will be out of school, we should do a summer theme, right? More vibrant colors, more hype music...hell, the entire night is summer themed. Let's do that." Rian spoke while Alex typed out the plans on his laptop. We all just nodded, because well, we couldn't really disagree with the boss. Not even the co-bosses.

"So as for lineups...Ash, you'll do a duet with Hayley..." Ash and Hayley hi-fived each other. They always get paired with each other.

"And by popular demand, and for old times sake, Jack...You're gonna perform and pair up with Alex." Rian stated.

"What?!" Both me and Alex shouted simultaneously. There's no way in hell I'm working with him when he gets paid twice as much as I do. It's not fair! On top of that, we're businessmen! Not strippers!

"Look, I know you two have your differences and it's been a while, but the crowd loved you guys. If you two are on the same stage at the same time, for a reunion-ish thing, the place will be packed!" Rian informed us. He had a point, but that doesn't mean he's right.

"Look, boss, I agree, but I can't work with someone who's getting paid mo-"

"Are you saying no to me mister?! I'll have you fired in a matter seconds." Rian practically shouted. I instantly shut my mouth. That was very bipolar of him. I'm on his good side...or at least I was. I calmly sat back down, along with Alex.

"I'm gonna just...go." I said, and grabbed my stuff. I walked out of headquarters. I was still pissed about working with Alex. Why him out of everyone else that was there? It wasn't fair. I work harder then him, and he gets a higher income. Fuck this shit.

I was about to leave the building, but I was stopped by someone. I looked from to ground to see...Mr. Merrick?

Oh god. Why isn't he gone yet? Why did he stop me? I didn't know what to do, so I just smiled and walked past him. I heard him chuckle, which caused me to stop. I tuned and saw him waving at me. The fuck?

After turning back around and waving, I really rushed out of there. A teacher now know that I work at a club. I'm gonna get fired! I'm gonna be the reason this whole place shuts down.
