Touching the Sky

Chapter 9- Free style

He likes me, he kissed me. HE kissed ME. I was still feeling his lips on mine when I realized that I was sitting on the floor and leaning against the door, blushing hard. Was he still there? What a very good question adn just one thing to do to confirm it.

I opened the door and peak through the little hole that I made.

He wasn't there, he had already left. Looking at the empty street I felt disappointed and lonely, I want to tell him so bad that I'm in love with him.

"Hey!" I said as I entered to the Studio. Rob was there, dancing alone. He looked peaceful and calm, that's one of the things that I like about him. As I talked he turned slowly and smile at me.

"Hey, I was waiting for you!" He said walking towards me.

I looked around and saw that Mrs. Bahmask was not there as usual.

"Where's Mrs. Bahmask?" I said getting ready to dance. He looked at me with a smile and then came forward.

"What?" I said smiling back.

"Nothing, just pay attention. We have to start practicing the real choreography" He said looking for a cd through hus bagpack.

"And Mrs. Bahmask is going to teach it to us, right?" I said dumbly inisisting.

"She's not coming, just you and me today" He said hitting 'play' and the music started. "I want you to hear the track first, ok?"

"Wait, what? You are going to teach me the choreography?" I said confused. He's a student not a teacher and less a choreographer.

"Oh, I see They haven't told you. I see.." He said turning and hitting 'pause'. "We, students, invent our own show. It's our chance to get a contract with a dancing company" Woow, so this is how it works with the ballet program. To creat a show as a hip hop dancer it's not hard, but I think as a ballet dancer it must be really hard.

"That's amazing, but just and only ballet right?" I said intrigued. As a hip hop dancer you have to be smarter than the other so you show your own style. But ballet is just one style, you can't change it.

"Yes that is right, since I'm a ballet dancer" He said with 'it's obvious' look.

"Have tried something different, like tango or salsa or waltz?" I asked him curioused. As a hip hop dancer we have to know many styles, but again, ballet just one.

"No, why?" He said confused.

"C'mon lets try something new for the show, lets mix some latin-dance or something like that. With that you'll make it!"

"My dear Ali, I think you haven't noticed it before but this is ballet, not hiphop and we have to be experts at one thing and that thing is-" He said between sweetly and harshly.

"Ballet" I completed. "I know, but you can easily change that!" I said inisiting once again. "Please just one time!" I said softly.

Some minutes passed and I was regreting asking him to do something he clearly doesn't want to do. I looked at him, waiting for the loud 'no' or something like that. But nothing was coming out of his mouth.

"I think we should try something new" He said proudly admiting that it was a good idea, MY good idea. "So, what do you think is goint to look good with ballet?"

Woohoo, that caught me off guard. It is true, ballet's a difficult style to mix with others. Well, flamenco is out. Maybe something latin, or hiphop.

"No, absolutely not" I heard Rob said angrily.

"Wait, what are you talking about?!" I said surprised, does he just read my thoughts?

"I did and hiphop is out of question" He did it again! Now my mind isn't a safe place... gosh! all my secrets! I think I had 'shock' written all over my face because Rob started laughing and then said " Calm down, I read your face, not your thoughts!"

Phewww, safe and sound. So I guess we have to do something latin. "How about, tango or salsa?" I said smiling and waiting for him to decide.

"Really?.... Salsa?" He said clearly annoyed by that idea.

" 'k so tango it is!"

"Hold her tightly, like she can't escape from your charms" Javier, and Argentinian Tango dancer, told Rob. Yeah... here we are dancing tango.

"Like this?" He hold me by my waist and then pulled me closer.

"Yes, yes. Just like that!" Javier said. Awkward! I have nothing to say, right? It was my idea so  can't complain. Yeah, so just go with it! "Now, just move your feet like this and then Ali do this steps"

Easy, breezy! I did the steps perfectly with passion and very latin-ly.

The weird thing was, that I ended up hugging Rob's torso with one of my legs. I could feel that our clothes where the only thing keeping us apart. I backed down and then started talking to Javier for some minutes, trying to move the thought of what have just happened.

"Thanks for coming Javier! Great help, see you other day!" Rob said and then Javier left.

"Why did you do that?" I asked angrily.

"We have to practice" I get him, and he was right. "But first, we have to talk about us" I felt my checks gain heat. "So... you understand what I meant when I kissed you?"

"Yeah, I think I did" I said sitting down trying to act normally, but I couldn't.

"It meant, that I love-" He started. My eyes were sparkling and I was smiling, I was hoping so bad for his answer! But He was interrupted.

I heard steps coming from the doorway and we both turned and watch as Kate Moose entered the room with a smile.

What the hell is she doing in here? She's supposed to be injured.

"Rob, I've missed you so bad!" She said and kissed him. Rob looked at me awkwardly and the gazed towards Kate with an angry look.

In a second, I felt 2 things:

1. My world twisted and dissapeared. I felt like I've being living a lie  all the time that I've being around Rob. He never told me that he had something with Kate. THE Kate that got me into this.

2. Conclusions. He was obviously having something with Kate, but he never bothered to tell me! Now I feel used and like a dumbass... I was part of someone's play-list.

I run out of the room and hurried towards the bus stop. Just in time, a bus came and I took it. I realized that I've being crying the whole time. I hoped that this was just another nightmare like the one's I had when I was younger, but I never woke up.
