Chapter 11: Macy

Macy:

"And that ends the chorus," I say as we finish the choreography for the chorus of the song. That concludes our dance session. Janessa starts to talk about something, but the only thing I can think of is food. Suddenly, Janessa and Alex leave.

"Macy?" Lucy waves a hand in front my face. She swings her dance bag over her shoulder. "Come on, are we going to the club or not?"

"Right," I remember.

Michael told us about this dance club that we should check out. Michael's brother, Jasper, is going to be the dj tonight and he was wondering if we could go and check it out.

Lucy and I change in the dressing rooms. I change into a pair of black skinny jeans and a neon blue flowy tank top. Lucy's wearing light blue skinny jeans and a black crop top. We drive into a crowded parking lot in front of the dance club. There sure is a lot of people here. Thinking about how many people are here makes me nervous. I wonder if we'll run into the guys here. Probably not, New York City is a pretty large and overly populated place. Well, then again, so was Italy and we still kept running into them there.

We walk in as music blast in our ears and the stench of alcohol and sweat fills our noses. Gross, but I guess the amazing music kind of makes up for it. I look around amazing and confused. I've never been to a dance club, so this is all new to me. I know Lucy goes to these things pretty frequently. Lucy smiles.

"Let's go!" Lucy yells over the loud music as she drags me onto the dance floor.

"What are we supposed to do?" I ask.

"Just dance!" Lucy starts to sway her hips to the beat. I follow her lead.

"Is there food?"

Lucy shrugs and walks deeper into the crowd of people on the dance floor. "Call me if you need me!"

Of course. Well, this is her scene, I guess. I dance off the dance floor and then walk around to see is there is somewhere where I can eat or drink something. I find the bar and take a menu. Like 95% of all this stuff has alcohol in it. I'm only 19. And, there's no food! This is the worst!

"What do you want?" says a sassy waitress/bartender person.

"Just a water," I reply. She leaves to get me water.

"Sober, aren't you?" I hear an all too familiar voice say.

"Is that a bad thing?" I turn in the stool to face Levi. Of course we'd run into them here.

"Not at all," Levi says. Levi smiles at me. "So, what are you doing here? This doesn't really seem like your kind of place, no offence."

"None taken, I'd rather be home watching the Pirates of the Caribbean and stuffing my mouth with popcorn," we both laugh. "I'm just here to support my friend's brother who is the dj. I'm planning on leaving in a few minutes, if I can ever find Lucy."

"Same. Lucy's here too?"

"Yeah, but Janessa and Alex aren't. Janessa is studying and Alex is on another date," I reply. "Are the guys here?"

"Yeah, most of them. Xavier, Cameron, Josh, and Anthony are all here. Mason went on a date with Gia and Tyrece and Ryan went on a double date with Alex and Angie," Levi shrugs and smiles at me. "Which reminds me, I've never official asked you on a date." I blush as he gets down on one knee and takes my hand in his. "So, Macy Riera, will you do me the honor of going on a date with me?"

I giggle. "My God Levi, you are so cheesy and cliché."

"Is that a yes?"

"Yes, Levi Acosto, I would love to go on a date with you?"
