Dance With Me (Step Up 2)

Chapter 3

"Callie?" Someone gently wakes me up. "It's seven."

My eyes snap open and I take in my surroundings. Ashley is standing above me in her nurse uniform and Callie is fast asleep in her bed.

"Beth left you a set of clothes." Ashley points to a chair in the corner.

I jump up and grab the clothes running in Abbie's personal bathroom. I change in the clothes Beth left for me quickly. I check out my outfit in the mirror to make sure I look decent. I'm only wearing a pair of black skinny jeans and a grey off the shoulder sweater. I pull on the black Supra's she left me. My hair is a mess. I put on a black slouchy crochet hat to make my hair a bit decent. I slide on a pair of fake black glasses to complete my outfit. I throw my bag over my shoulder. I kiss Abbie on her forehead before running out of the hospital.

I burst out in a full sprint for the school. It's a good thing I've been living down here for a while. If I didn't I wouldn't know my way around here. I should have set my alarm on my phone to wake me up. Classes don't start until seven forty, so I have plenty of time. I prefer to be at school a little early. That way I can get to my locker before the school is swarmed with students.

Fifteen minutes later, I make to MSA. I'm so glad I ran everyday over summer. I would be dead right now if I wasn't. I jog up the stairs to MSA and make my way to my locker.

I should have worn my jacket today. Everyone is staring at me in the halls. No hood to hide under today. I open my locker and take out the books I need today.

"Nothing to see here! Keep it moving!" Andie's voice yells at everyone in the hallway.

"Thanks." I smile at her shutting my locker. The students start ignoring me again like they did yesterday.

"We match!" Moose leans up against the locker next to mine. I glance at Moose's outfit.

"What are you talking about?" I laugh. "We don't match." Moose was wearing a striped shirt with a grey short sleeved shirt over it unbuttoned.

Moose grins at me. "I know that. You just looked a little glum." Moose throws his arm over my shoulder as we walk outside. "I thought you could use a laugh."

"I had a long night." I shrug making eye contact with Andie. She knows all about Abbie.

"Okay. So, I was talking to this girl yesterday." Moose begins as we step up a few stairs outside. "And I was like, 'Damn, you're breath stinks!'"

"Why would you say that?" Andie shakes her head at him.

"I would have slapped you if you said that to me." I tell him.

"I thought it would be cool." Moose shrugs.

"Well, it wasn't." Andie laughs.

A loud hip hop song randomly comes on. I stop laughing and stare at Moose who is pulling his phone out of his pocket.

Moose starts replying to the text. "It's my mom."

"Oh my gosh!" Andie bursts out laughing again.

"What?"

"That is not your ringtone." I say as we reach the flight of stairs that goes to the main building for classes.

"Why? It's the coolest thing ever." Moose defends himself. "Okay. Fine. Listen." He hands the phone to Andie that starts playing the song again. "Here we go. Watch me, watch me, watch."

Moose steps on the stairs sideways and walks up. He pulls out his clothes in different areas and starts dancing. He steps up the stairs and continues dancing to the music, moving his body to the right beat. I didn't know Moose could dance. Moose slides of his backpack and crouches near the ground and pops back up dropping his backpack on the ground. He does a quick spin and leans back as far as he can without his back touching the stairs. Moose uses his necklace as a noose and brings himself up higher on the stairs. He does a quick spin and starts thrusting in the air repeatedly.
