Maya's POV:
I woke up and Lucas was gone, I could barely remember what happened that night and I felt woozy. I rolled over and noticed a note sitting on my bedside table. 'All we did was kiss' was written on it in unfamiliar handwriting that I assumed was Lucas's. I breathed deeply, reliving the events of the night. Zay, Lucas... Then I remembered something. I jumped out of bed and ran to get dressed. As I was leaving I noticed a pile of blankets and pillows on the couch, Lucas had stayed the night in the living room. By the time I got onto the train it was already 7:45 a.m. and I knew there was close to no chance I would arrive on time.

I heard Mino's voice as I walked into the club, he was calling everyone over to him. I rushed upstairs, quickly removing my sweat pants and coat. Silently running over to the group of girls. "Now," Mino's voice echoed throughout the empty space. "I would like to welcome Maya to the group." The girls turned around to look at me and smiled. They weren't as intimidating as I thought they'd be. "Mino, we know Maya," A girl said while taking my hand. "She's amazing at what she does." Mino grinned and nodded. "What I do?" I repeated her. She was wearing a sports bra and leggings. "You're the artist, right?" I nodded. "Exactly." She said before returning the attention to Mino.

"Now Maya," Mino laughed, continuing his speech. "I know you're not a dancer. I know this isn't your ideal job. But I really think it would be good for you. Might help you come out of your shell." I laughed nervously. "Yeah I guess." Mino suddenly turned serious and stern. "Now girls, someone help Maya warm up and teach her some basic moves." A thin girl raised her hand and Mino sighed. "Thank you Juliette."

I sighed and grunted as Juliette led me through a series of intricate stretches and cardio exercises. If I was ever gonna for in with this group of girls, I needed to learn. "Are you ready Maya?" Juliette turned around and clapped her hands. My eyes lit up with determination and fear. "Y-Yes." I stuttered. "Come with me."

Lucas's POV:

I felt horrible. I couldnt believe that I had the nerve to take advantage of Maya like that. And to top it off I lied. We did more than just kiss, but i didnt want our first time together to be meaningless like all my others. I loved more than Maya's body. But at the same time, her body was amazing. She wasn't super fit, but she was healthy, and overall beautiful.
