Pathway [Eremin AU]

Chapter Five//Armin

(New book cover above. ↑)
Today I start with the dance club, and I plan to try to correspond this with school this week and so forth till I'm out of high school. I sigh deeply and grab an outfit for today. I slip on black basketball shorts and a red shirt from Aeropostale that had a picture of New York City on it. I grab my new shoes and a bag. I grab another change of clothes and the other shoes that are kinda like ballet shoes. I also stuff a few waters and a hair clip in there with my phone charger and zip it up. I grab my phone and quickly comb my hair. I brush my teeth them head down stairs. I grab my wallet and the chain for my dads bike. I run out of the house and hop on the bike. I petal off and down the hill into the city. I quickly stop and put my bike in the bike rack by a bench. I lock it up and make my way into the studio. I walk to the back door and walk up the stairs. I see Eren and Historia with Carla.
"Welcome!" Carla smiles.
"Hi Mrs. Jeager," I say with a chuckle.
"E-everyone else sh-should b-be here s-soon," Eren says. I nod.
"You're Armin, right?" Historia asks.
"Yeah, Historia, right?" I ask.
"Yeah, but I go by Krista when I'm out, but Historia is what I'm called in here," She chuckles sweetly. I smile and nod. A few more people walk in and we all have some small talk till everyone finally arrives.
"Ok, so we have a tournament a few towns over in about two months, we have to learn a dance to go with a song from Fallout Boy! We'll do Polaroid and two main dancer will be selected in a few minutes. Get stretched then circle up in the middle."
  It looks like everyone is with a partner and me and Eren are left. He grabs my wrist and pulls me to a part of the floor.
"We u-usually g-get partners t-to stretch," He says. I nod. He sits and spreads his legs. He bends to one and grabs his the toe of his shoe, then does the same the other way.
"P-push my b-back down," He says and bends forwards. I nod and push down on his back till I feel him push back up. I sit as well and start to stretch my back and legs. I stand up and pull my legs up behind me and finish stretching. Everyone circles up and Carla plays the song.
  "Any dance move ideas for any part of the song?" She asks. A few people start to name off different moves, and I've only heard of a few, but some just sound made up by the club.
  "You could make Armin the 'lone red rover' as said in the song, and we could all come in with chairs and yeah, you kinda get it from there," Jean says.
  "U-um, I-I don't know about that," I say and have my hand slightly raised.
  "That's a good idea! And Eren can come in and-" They go on and on and I feel my chest get tight with nervousness. I grab my chest and kind of sink in where I'm sitting.
  "A-armin?" I hear Erens voice ring in my ears.
  "Huh?" I ask and look up at him.
  "Don't s-sweat i-it, you'll d-do fine," He smiles. I nod and and sigh.
  "Ok, I'm going to write out some choreography for this song. You guys work on something while I write it," Carla says. We all nod and she walks towards a couch in the corner. She grabs a clip board with some paper and a lap top. I turn my attention to everyone else.
  "Ok, so who wants to go over the last dance we did last month?" Historia asks.
  "Sure. We can try some stuff with Armin," Marco says. I nod and stand up. I help Eren up and he walks towards his mom.
  "Hey," I hear I feminine voice says. I turn to see Erens sister.
  "Mikasa, right?" I ask. She nods.
  "You better be nice to Eren," She says.
  "I will, don't worry," I smile, "Would you and Eren like to go out this weekend to maybe run at the park?"
  "As long as we don't have practice," She says, "sure." I nod and smile at her. Eren walks back and has a slightly scared face on.
"Mikasa, wh-what did y-you s-say t-to him?" He asks.
"Nothing," She says.
"Oh, she didn't say anything bad!" I say, waving my arms in the air a little. He sighs and Jean walks over. He explains a few things and we start working on a few things.

"O-ok, so put o-one h-hand here o-on your waist a-and th-the other h-here, then quickly t-turn a-and s-stop with y-your l-left f-foot. You th-then s-slide down o-onto one knee a-and do this," Eren says as he explains how to do a part of a dance. He demonstrates it and then helps me. He puts a hand on my wait and grabs my other hand.
"N-now put y-your h-hand over mine," He says. I nod as a slight blush appears on my cheeks. He put my other hand where it should be and he slowly twists me and helps me through the moves.
"Ready to try it with us?" Marco asks.
"Sure," I say as Eren lets go of me.
"Ok, from the top," Jean says. We go through the moves quickly and I feel like I got all of mine right.
"Now for the next part," Historia says.
We work on a few more small things and Carla waves us over. We quickly walk over towards the sofas and she starts to explain some stuff.
"We have to learn this in two months. This isn't the least amount of time we've had before, but it is still pretty short. So we'll have practice every other day. Collage or adults, be here by one PM starting next week. That's on Mondays, Wednesday's and Friday's. For high school students, be here as soon as school les out for you, and the latest I will tolerate is four PM unless I get a text or call from you or your parents. Same days, and unless I say any time on a weekend, then that's when you can practice on your own," She says.
"Ok," We all say in unison. I just know this will be a hand full till I graduate in about three months. Then summer, then freshman year of collage, and so forth.

(A/N: Ok, so it's been a long while... The last time I updated was before school even let out, and that's been almost a month... I'm SOOO sorry! I've just had a lot going on, BUT, I plan to have this done by the end of summer! And since I'm going to Florida at the beginning of next month, I'll try to write a chapter or two on my way there and back. And I'm also going to Gorigeia on the fifteenth next month, so I'll have time then to write as well.
Well, till the next chapter then!
