Love Has No Age

"God I wished that I continued dancing, it's my fault for stopping" I say pushing my hair out of my face.

"It just takes a little time and practice, don't worry you'll get through it I promise. Once a month or two with practicing I'm pretty sure you'll get back in shape" Elle says throwing her bag over her shoulder.

"You sure? Because it took me about a year to be flexible and if I try again, it'll take me another year"
"... How about 3 days in one week we practice, I'll help you"
"I hope it works"
"... What's the main reason your going back to dance?"
"Well, I'm planning on auditioning for Juilliard which is my dream college which is in New York. I really want to get it"
"Then make it 5 days per week"

Oh great.

"Going to those dance classes are just gonna take up time from home" Beth said.

I shrug, "I don't care, at least it's going to help me in getting into Juilliard."

"...Are you serious? You're still trying for that Juilliard school? Andry I don't think they'll accept you, your not even gonna get to the point where you were flexible like you were back then once auditions are nearby"

"It's true, you might as well just go to UCLA or Stanford" My mom spoke and I look down at my lap.

All they do is tell me I can't make my dreams come true because I'm a failure at everything. But once I get that acceptance letter from Juilliard, I'll prove them wrong just like I've been planning to.

"So how was the dance class?" Leah asked.

"It was alright, I mean I had a hard time but first times aren't always perfect right" I say entering calculus.

"Right, so did you study last night?"
"... I'm sorry study? Study for what?"
"Of course you forgot, we have a test"
"Crap, no I can't fail this test Leah, you have to send me signals across the room"
"What? No, I'm not going to cheat"
"Your not cheating, I am. Just put your foot on top of your leg with a sticky note that has the answers"

She shakes her head, "I am not going to get in trouble."

"Please, this is for the sake of me getting better at school" I begged.

"But your not gonna learn anything"
"I'll read over the questions and answers and try remembering them"
"... Ugh fine, but you owe me"
"Okay thank you"

I sit down in my seat as she sits down in hers, I try keeping my breathing controlled because whenever I get nervous I'd breathe heavily and this test might be really important.

"Good morning, " Said Ms.Clairol "Well, apparently I have something to do today so no test for today, wooh excitement. The test is tomorrow so you have tonight to get everything memorized and done."

Well never mind. I might as well not go to dance today because this grade also matters. Talking about dance I should tell Elle I won't be going today, she could just show me the new dance moves next class.

"Andry cmon!" Yelled Elle from the other side of the hallway and I laid my finger on top of my lip for her to be quite because we were nearby Mr.Evan's.

"Sorry Elle but I have a test for Calculus and I have to study or my grade is gonna go down" I say pushing my puckered lips to the side.

"Oh okay, it's fine tomorrow I'll show you what you missed out on"
"Okay thank y-"

"Ladies" I hear Mr.Evan say from nearby. I turn my head and find him at his door leaning against the door frame.

"...I should uh get going" Elle said and darted towards the next hallway, leaving me alone with Mr.Evan.

"I should get going as well" I say trying to walk away but he makes me stop in my tracks once he begins talking.

"Heard you have a test in Ms.Clairol's, need help on studying?" He questioned and moves out of the door way for me to enter.

"... No, I'm fine. We both know what's going to happen if I go in there"
"I promise nothing will happen, I'll just help you on studying and you can leave after that"

I grunt and walk straight into his room trying to avoid his stare. The only thing I can't avoid is his body, his sleeveless collared shirt and his black jeans over his black plain toe oxfords. I sit in my seat looking down at my lap once I find him near my desk, I look up.

"Do you have any note cards or notes that you could study?" He asks and sits in the seat in front of me.

I nod and take out the notecards that are organized neatly that I want to just make them unorganized because it's bothering me from how perfect it is.

"No speaking? Giving me the silent treatment?" He questions and grabs the notecards off my desk before I do.

I shake my head, "No, I just don't like to study when people are around. It distracts me."

"I distract you?"
"Not just you, I mean like people who make noises"
"Well I'm a teacher and I obviously know what the surroundings for someone to study is like"

I nod in agreement and give him a slight smile. After 5 minutes pass by I've already went by 6 cards and there are almost 30 of them. Every time we passed by each card his expression turned border and border.

"Maybe I should leave" I say trying to grab the notecards out of his hands but he pulls back his arm...
