Luiza POV
I got up extra early today because I wanted to get in some extra rehearsal time at the studio. Maria said that she would travel to the studio today because she had to take care of something important before coming to rehearsal.
When I got to the studio I went to put my things down and get changed into my dance wear. I just wore a black frilly top, black shorts and a green neon bow. Nothing too fancy today but just normal. I walked outside the dressing room and went to my solo rehearsal space. When I went in, to my surprise I saw Alejandro stretching. "Am I in the wrong room" I spoke and that got his attention. " Isn't this room 21?" He asked. "Nope this is room 18". "Oh, I'm sorry, I'll leave if you like" " No! I mean it's okay, I could always use a friends company" I smiled.* He blushed*
Wait, why did he blush? Umm anyway I went to the corner of the room and started stretching. The room was silent and a very awkward silence I may add. I got up and went to choose a song for my solo. "Would you like any help choosing a song?" He asked while walking over to me."Yes ,thank you,there are so many songs and i love them all but i do not know what dance style to choose," I said."I think you should do Latin and contemporary ,"He said."Why""Because you can kill a lyrical or jazz solo,no know won't expect you do Latin and contemporary "He smirked. "That's a good idea, and I have the perfect song."
It was ' Hips don't lie' by Shakira. This solo is gonna be perfect, but one thing, I don't really know Latin. Should I ask Alejandro to help me? Yes,no,yes, no,yes,no,yes,no. Ugh my stupid conscience. I would ask him to help me. I mean he is a very good Latin dancer. "Hey, umm can you help me with the Latin part of my solo? Please." I asked shyly. " I would love to" he smiled "but can you give me an hour, I have to sort out things with the competition" he said. I nodded. By the time he left I started working on the Contemporary part of my solo. I added in all my jumps, turns, acro and that Contemporary I have to say was awesome. I still have like 15 more minutes left so I went downstairs to get my Latin shoes and my phone. I checked my phone and saw 15 missed calls and 26 messages. I called he immediately and a strange but familiar voice answered the phone.
" hello"
"Maria are you okay"
"This is not Maria , its her mom"
"Where is Maria" I asked worriedly
"Maria is in the umm hospital, she ah was practicing her back tuck and landed on her knee," she spoke.
"Oh, my goodness, is she okay??"
"The doctor said that she will be fine, it was just a sprain and it got swollen"
"Is she gonna be alright!" I asked sacredly.
"I'm hoping, because she really wants to dance tomorrow at the competition."
"I hope she gets better really really soon I hope," I said.
"Do you wanna come visit her, I mean she could use her best friend now" she said.
"For sure, I'll be there in 10 minutes max"
"Okay see you there"
"Yah see you shortly"I ended the call completely shocked, worried and scared. I rushed to my dressing room and picked up my car keys and put on my black sneakers and ran straight to the car. I totally forgot that Alejandro had to help me with the part of my dance until I saw a text from him that i received 5 minutes ago. I called right after and told him the situation. He said he would wait till I get back to help me. I was great full for a friend like him. I drove out of there quickly and in less than 5 minutes I was there. It took a while for me to check in but I eventually got through and ran upstairs and frantically looked for room 48-369C. I looked crazy to be in my dance clothes and sneakers in a freezing cold AC hospital, but I would go through any thing to see her. After a while looking I finally found her room. Thankfully her room was warm. She was now being discharged from the hospital. I walked over to her and hugged her, I felt a tear on my shoulder and I hugged her tightly. She whispered," Is everything going to be okay Luiza?" "Hopefully"
I walked out the door with her and to my surprise I saw Alejandro walking up to us. Why is he here??? He stopped dead in front of us and looked Maria up and down in fear. He pulled me aside. "What happened Luiz, you only told me she was at the hospital?" He asked holding my shoulders. Omg he called me Luiz ahhhhh. "Oh! Umm she sprained her knee doing a back tuck its just swollen, but she will be fine" I replied. "Oh okay good because I got worried." "Why were you worried" I asked questioningly. "Umm... " He scratches behind his head. "Ummm.. I kinda maybe like Maria"Hope you guys enjoyed this chapter
