Backstage. (Mirstie)

September 21, 2016

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH^^ Okay I'm done you can read now😄
Kirstin's POV
"What do we have first?" I asked Chanel after I had practically ran into home room. Thanks mom for almost forgetting about me. Chanel flipped open her binder and looked at the schedule.
"We have contemporary with Ms Marsden," her eyes widened. "Well I'm screwed. Catt basically made it a solo. I'm just her backup dancer," Chanel and I both rolled our eyes.
"You should ask Ms Marsden for an extension then," I suggested. Chanel shook her head.
"Are you serious? There's no way in hell Ms Marsden would give me an extension," I shrugged.
"You never know Chanel," she sighed.
"Fine but if she says no, you have to buy me a fro yo after school," I sighed.
"Fine but you have to do the same if she says yes," we then giggled and headed to contemporary. After we got changed and put on our turning shoes, all the girls minus the popular girls, headed out to meet their partners. I spotted Mitch chatting with Jeremy and walked up to the two.
"Hey Mitch! Hey Jer!" I said before giving Jeremy a peck on the lips. I then turned to Mitch.
"We have time to do a run through right?" Mitch nodded.
"Yeah this is the only class we have all morning anyways," I smiled. Jeremy just looked at us confused.
"I'm guessing you two made up?" He said cheerfully. We both nodded and smiled at one another. "Good," was all he said before joining his partner. Mitch and I then ran into the practice room. I quickly plugged in my phone and took out the song. I pushed play and before you know it we were dancing to our hearts content. When the song ended and our dance finished, we looked at each other and we both squealed.
"I always get so excited when we dance this," I said high-fiving Mitch. He chuckled and nodded his head.
"Me too," he said, "by Meghan Trainor. Anyways let's get back to class," we ran to our places at the barré just seconds before and Ms Marsden arrived. She walked in and everyone immediately started stretching.
"All right dancers," she started taking out her clipboard, "I want to see passion, technique, and chemistry in your duets. Please do remember that this is worth 25% of your grade," I took a deep breath.
"All right, let's start with Avi and Jeremy," Avi and Jeremy danced to a hard hitting song. It had lots of hip hop in it.
"That was okay," Ms Marsden started, "what was the name of your song boys?" The boys both smiled.
"It's called Ref," Avi said with a huge smile.
"Good. Have a seat please," Jeremy came and sat next to me, grabbing onto my hand in the process.
"You nervous?" He asked. I nodded a little.
"Only a tiny bit," I stated. Jeremy turned my head so I was facing him.
"When you're up there, just imagine that you're only with your partner, and it's just you two practicing," I smiled and him and turned my attention back to Ms Marsden.
"All right let's have Chanel and Catt," Catt and Chanel both came forward. I could tell Chanel was nervous because she was doing the fidgeting she always does before a test. Their music start playing. The dance was actually incredible. Chanel went next to Catt and copied all of her dance moves so it seemed that they were in sync. Catt gave her a glare but Chanel kept on dancing. She totally memorized Catt's solo-to-be. At the end of the dance they both took a bow.
"That was good. Your song name please?" Before Catt could speak Chanel interrupted.
"It is an A cappella cover of Papaoutai," Ms Marsden gave them a little smile before returning to her clipboard.
"All right, Kirstin and Mitchell please take centerstage," Mitch and I look at each other before heading into the centre of the room. I nodded to the guy controlling the stereo to start it. Mitch and I began dancing and I remembered what Jeremy said. Just act like it's only you and your partner. The performance got so much better. Mitch and I's chemistry had never been that strong before. I felt like I was on top of the nation. Or world. But that doesn't matter. When our dance ended we took our bows, the smile never escaping my face.
"That was excellent!" Ms Marsden cheered, "your song please?" I looked at Mitch to say it.
"Standing By," she smiled at us before we sat down. Mitch hugged me and I couldn't help but hug back happily.
"Thanks for being the best duet partner ever," he whispered in my ear before turning to Ms Marsden. I smiled at him and also did the same.
Jeremy held my hand as we left class. We walked to Chanel who didn't seem too happy as she was talking with Catt.
"That was supposed to be my moment, I told you, you would get your moment in the spotlight later!" Chanel rolled her eyes.
"Catt this is a duet. A duet is when people work together to create a piece of art with dance. Plus Ms Marsden loves it!" You could tell Chanel was pretty angry.
"Ugh whatever but if we get a bad grade, this will be all of your fault," she then walked away. Chanel turned to us and smiled.
"Well I didn't ask for an extension so I guess I owe you a fro yo," she said with a sigh. I nodded.
"Let's do it, after school of course," we then both walked to the change room and into lunch. As we sat down at our table, I noticed Catt and Mitch having a very loud argument at their table.
"Catt it was just a duet, Kirstin has a boyfriend for god sakes," Catt folded her arms.
"I don't care. She obviously has something for you," Mitch took a glance at me.
"No she doesn't, see she's with her boyfriend. The guy she loves. I'm with my girlfriend. The girl I love!" Catt sighed.
"Fine I guess you're right," Mitch smiled at her before walking away, leaving Catt alone at the popular table. Mitch walked up to my table and sat down.
"Listen I know I'm not supposed to technically be here but that's okay. Anyways do you want to hang out after school?" I turn to Chanel, Avi, and Jeremy.
"Well actually I was going to go to fro yo with these guys-" Chanel then cut me off.
"But you can join us if you want," she said with a smile. Mitch and I looked at each other and shrugged.
"Yeah you seem like a nice guy Mitch," Avi said agreeing with Chanel. I smiled at Mitch.
"Then I guess it's settled, see you at Menchies after school," he waved goodbye and headed to his table.
"Are you guys okay?" I said directing my question at Chanel and Avi. They both chuckled.
"No we've just noticed that you seem to really respect one another, so why not invite him into the clan?" I smiled at Avi's statement.
"You guys are awesome!" I said before laughing.
~After school~
"Here I'll text my mom and ask her to drive us there," Chanel said taking out her phone. Jeremy and I stood there hand-in-hand as we waited for the car to arrive. Soon a huge, black, fancy can pulled up and Chanel got into the front seat. The rest of us climbed into the back.
"Hi Ms Leger," Avi said with a smile, "this is Kirstin and Jeremy," he pointed to the both of us and we both smiled.
"Pleasure to meet you guys," she then drove off of the campus and into Los Angeles. We all talked about our duets as we made our way to Menchies.
"I hope I get a good mark," I said, "my parents are huge on good grades," everyone looked at me.
"Of course your parents are all about good grades. Your dad is the principal for God sakes," Chanel said sassily. I chuckled.
"You do make a very good point," I said. Finally we arrived at Menchies. I was the first to notice Mitch standing there on his phone.
"Hey," I said as we got out of the car. He smiled at me.
"Hi guys," we then all walked in. There were so many flavours and candies. I think I got too much even.
"Remember Chanel you're paying for mine," she rolled her eyes.
"How could I forget when you keep reminding me," we both laughed and went to the cash register. We then all payed for our fro yo and took a seat at one of the tables.
"Mitch, your guys duet was amazing," Chanel said. Mitch smiled at me.
"We worked super hard on it," I smiled back.
"I'm just glad you guys don't hate me anymore," he said with a sad smile, "you have no idea how bad I feel about everything," Chanel and Avi both nodded.
"It's okay, you forgive and you forget," Chanel said winking at me. I laughed, and that was how my day ended.
