Chapter 2.

Laura's P.O.V.: We were late for dance class because some kid wouldn't admit that he stole a pencil... really.. a pencil. It was so stupid. Once me and Ross walked into dance class. We obviously got looks from the dance teachers and the students. 

"Um.. hello." one of the teachers says.

"Hi.. our teacher let us out late because... well.. you see.." I get interrupted by Ross.

"Long story.." he says.

"Do you two have a pass?" 

"No.." we both say.

"It's ok. I'll let it go this one time. Take a seat on the floor please and put your belongings by the mirror wall." 

Once we did that we sat down.

"Alright so in this class you're going to pair up with someone and that's going to be your partner for half the year. After you're done please stand up together. Ready? Go!" 

I look over at Ross. 

"Hey bestfriend, wanna be my partner?" I say with a smile.

He smiles back. "Sure." 

Then we stand up. 

"Haha you're with a nerd?!" one girl says. Her name is Jackie I think. 

"Shush ok. He's not a nerd.. he's actually not that smart for a nerd anyway so.. shut your mouth girl." I speak back.

"That's pretty legit." Ross says.

I laugh. 

"Yup. You probably have like C's or D's in your classes." 

"D- actually..." 

I laugh again. 

"Yup I was pretty, right about you. I still don't get how people call you nerd when in reality.. you're not that smart and you're just wearing prescription glasses."

"I only used them for reading which.. I don't do. But then I decided to get prescription glasses because I always forgot my glasses. So that's how this whole nerd thing happened. I used to have friends but then they all moved to a different school and now majority of the guys are populars and i'm not so that leaves me out.." 

"Oh. Wow. Interesting." 

"Class also one thing I forgot to mention is that the best dancers are going to be contestants on the show "So You Think You Can Dance?" For that to happen, you're going to get assigned a teachers and they're gonna teach you what you need to know about whichever dance you're going to be assigned. Also, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Ms. Johnson. Alright, can I have everyone introduce themselves once I call them when I take attendance." Ms. Johnson explains.

Once everyone introduced themselves....

"Ross Lynch." Ms. Johnson calls out. 

"Hey, i'm Ross and i'm not a nerd incase you were wondering." 

Everyone laughs. Ross chuckles as well.

"Laura Marano." Ms. Johnson calls out.

"Hey i'm Laura and I like yogurt."

"OH MY GOD ME TOO!" Chelsea yells out.

I gasp loudly. "TWINSIES!" 

Everyone just stares at both of us idiots and laugh. 

Ms. Johnson laughs as she finishes taking attendance. "Alright thank you for that." 

After she finished taking attendance. Our assigned teacher came up to us. It was a he. 

"Hey Ross and Laura. I'm going to be your dance instructor. Alright so for the first few days it's just gonna be chill days. We're going to be teaching you about the history of dancing and some warmups before dancing. By the way, my name is Mr. Ratliff. I'll be your dance instructor for the whole year."

"Heyy, I have a friend named Ratliff. Well his real name is Ellington but we call him Ratliff sometimes." 

"Cool story Mr. Lynch." Mr. Ratliff says.

I giggle.

"Hey don't giggle at me missy." Ross says.

I look at him and laugh.

He smiles. 

"Mr. Lynch. I believe, you'll have to get a new look for this class. You don't have to Ms. Marano but if you would like to you could add some highlights to your hair instead of the ombre look. That's totally up to you but Mr. Lynch we need to get you a new look as soon as we start doing dances." 

Ross gets a blank look on his face.

"Ok. I'm cool with that." 

"Awesome." Mr Ratliff says.

"RIIIIIIIIIIINGGGGG"

"Class you're dismissed." Ms. Johnson says. 

"I'll see ya'll tomorrow." Mr. Ratliff says.

Once we walk out of dance Ross and I hang out for a bit and then go home.

Dear Cupcake,

          Today went great! I met this kid aka my new bestfriend, Ross, yesterday who was getting picked on. And then also, I have new friends. So i'm really happy. Dance was fun. And every other class also. Except for Chemistry when that one kid who never admitted he stole a flipping stupid pencil and made us all late to our classes. It was pretty dumb honestly. Other than that, nothing else happened. Life is good.

                                                                                                                                                          gogo, Laura.

-End of Laura's P.O.V.- 

Alright so for those of you wondering what "Cupcake" is it's Laura's journal she writes in, kind of like a diary but not really a diary. She named it Cupcake because the journal is pink and has some type of figures on it that look like sprinkles but they're not. And that's how she came up with the name for it in the story. Pretty creative on her side haha. Tell me what you think of this story so far in the comments below and i'll update asap!
