0.2 - PE and Partners (Part 1)

Millie Bobby Brown's Point of View:

*beep beep, beep beep*

I smack my hand numerous times on my alarm and look at the time. It reads off the same time as always, 6:15 AM. I sit up and lean my head back against my black headboard and scroll my Twitter mentions and my Instagram feed until 6:25. I get up and walk down the narrow hall to my bathroom. I was my face and brush my hair and teeth while still sort of waking up. I walk back to my room and put on my gray cropped hoodie, my black leggings, and Adidas shoes. I walk down my birchwood stairs to grab my water bottle and head out the door.

"I'm leaving! Have a good day at work!" I shout up the stairs towards my mother's bedroom.

"Bye Millie! I love you!" My mother screams back. I walk out the door and head to the bus stop with my bag and phone in hand. Once the giant yellow transporter pulls up I step on and sit down next to Sadie.

"Hey, I told Brooke I'd be her partner today and Maddy and Ashlynn are always partners. Sorry to leave you but I'm always your partner." She whispers apologetically.

"I-It's fine. You are always my partner so it's fine." I mumble while putting my headphones back in. I don't mean to sound selfish but she is always my partner. She's been my partner for every class for the past three years, so it feels weird that she wants to be Brookes' partner. It kinda hurts but it's okay I guess. I doze off for the rest of the ride until Sadie wakes me up a few minutes before we get off the bus.

"Millie, wake up." She whispers in my ear once she pulls out the headphone. I groan slightly and put my bag on my back. I stand up groggily and walk off the bus. I walk to my first period when I'm greeted with a strong arm around my shoulders, Finny Boy.

"Good Morning Princess. You look gorgeous as usual." He smirks while looking me up and down.

"Good Morning babe. You are cheesy as ever, as usual." I giggle.

"So, question?" He says smiling.

"Shoot."

"So Caleb's ditching me for partners today in choir so I was wondering if you'd at least think of being my partner instead of Sadies?" He asks softly. I walk slightly faster and walk backward in front of him until I stop. I wrap my arms around his neck while standing on my tip toes to reach. He puts his arms around my waist pulling me in for a hug.

"I'd love to Wolfhard," I whisper in his ear. I feel his cheek rise against mine which means he's smiling. I smile back and feel both of our faces warm up. We pull away after what was probably forever to everyone else but too short for us.

"I'll see you at lunch okay? Meet me at the corner tables." He smiles grabbing my hand and squeezing it.

"Okay, I'll see you then cutie." I wink before walking over to Maddy and Ashlynn.

"Maddy, pinch me." Ashlynn giggles before wincing at the pain.

"What was that for?" I ask Ashlynn.

"Ummm....did you not just hug THE FINN WOLFHARD?!" She whisper-screams.

"We are just friends...*cough* for now," I say the last part under my breath so they can't hear me.

"Mhmm, suuure." They say in unison.

"Whatever guys. I got to head to class. Later." I snicker walking away.  I walk to my science class and take my seat in the front. I love science so I take as many notes as possible before the bell rings. Once that class ends I walk down the crowded hallway to the locker rooms for PE. I head inside and change into my shorts and my mint green "PINK" crop top. I put my hair up and lace my shoes before walking out to warm-ups. I walk out and run two laps as usual, plus forty push-ups and sixty curl ups. I finish and sit down to start stretching out before class even starts.

"Okay guys, so today we are starting something a bit different. We are going to do a dance until with multiple options. We have brought in a few instructors and a student who will be helping us out. So please give a warm welcome to Mr. Detta, my husband, Ms. Schmit, and Mrs. Schnapp. Our guest student is Finn, who I'm sure you all know." Mrs. Detta exclaims with a smile. I didn't even notice that Finn was standing behind her until he stepped out and winked at me.

"You didn't tell me?!" I mouth to him while finishing my V-Sit.

"Surprise." He mouths back with jazz hands.

"Okay, so there will be options with different difficulty levels. There is a tap unit for the beginners who haven't ever danced, which in your room by yourself doesn't count." She says sarcastically. "There is a ballet course for the intermediate kids who have danced before, in any form besides your room. Then, well, Finn why don't you explain this one." Mrs. Detta grins while looking at Wolfhard.

"Well, the last level is a hip hop group which I'll be helping with. Mr. Detta and I are the instructors of that group. This course will be challenging even for someone extremely fit, so join with determination and the will to work. We will give you a minute to think about it then we will let you get into your lines. Ms. Schmit is doing the tap unit so you'll sprint to the far corner. Mrs. Schnapp is leading the ballet group over by the doors, and Mr. Detta and I are over here with the hip hop group on this side of the gym. 30 seconds starts now to think..." He rambles while pointing. I'm the fittest and most athletic person in this period so I knew I'd do Finn's course. Once he lets everyone loose to go to their desired courses only three of us stayed seated for the advanced course. It consisted of Jenna, Mackenna, and I.

"Alright, so will you three be okay with me joining in the routines since not many joined you guys?" He asks. We all nod and he starts to continue.

"Okay, please stand up in a line side by side." He pleads. We follow the instructions and he looks at us and says what I was most excited for.

"Drills. We will spend ten minutes each day doing drills. This will help our form and our strength for stunts, which will be included in the dances. So your drills will consist of two sets of lines, one at 50% power and one at 75% power. Plus you will do an additional thirty push-up and forty-five curl-ups. It seems hard, and it will be for the first few days, but it will become easy soon enough. You can go in any order, questions?" He smiles. I raise my hand and he nods.

"What do you do when you are finished warming up?" I ask.

"You can sit and relax or you can do extra work, which will pay off for routines." He replies. "Anything else, no, okay you may begin." He says and we all start out drills. I start with my lines and finish them quickly without a sweat. I start my push-ups afterward and do those with a lot of struggle. I hate push-ups so I barely try. I finish off with my curl-ups and am done with the drills while Jenna and Mackenna finish the push-ups. I start to run laps around our half of the gym and then stop and stretch more. Soon we start to learn the moves and we get them down really fast. We start part of the dance with our music and we ace it the first couple of tries. Before class ends, we all meet up as a class and conversate.

"Okay, so will my girls please stand up?" Mr. Detta asks while raising his hands up towards the ceiling. Jenna, Mackenna, and I all stand-up and look towards him and Finn."Would you guys be comfortable to do your routine for the class before the period finishes?" He smiles full of hope. We nod and get into positions along with Finn. Mr. Detta starts the song and we do the routine perfectly. We finish and sit down while everyone cheers and claps.

"Thank you. Okay, guys, they did that in one day. It's hard to do but they did it because they have motivation. You will need motivation when it comes to this. So come back tomorrow and be ready to work. You may go." He says before we leave. I get changed and walk to lunch.

"So you're a dancer, huh? Finn smiles.
