This is a high school love story. Will they be able to take all the obstacles in the way? What will happen? Will they move away or will will they deal with it?
The bell soon rang dismissing us all from class. Break was next. This was great for me as I could stay behind and continue practicing the routine to perfect it. Mai asked if I was going with her to the canteen and I nicely rejected. When it came to dance I would practice for hours and not get tired. I always wanted it to be perfect without any mistakes.
Everyone had left the studio except for Mr. Vella. He stayed behind in the studio cleaning up. At one point through the mirror I could see him glancing at me. After a few minutes he finally spoke up.
"Try kicking your leg higher after your partner puts you down from your lift."
"Like this?" you show him a higher kick.
"No" He walks over to you and grabs your leg to lift it up. He put it to rest against his chest and walks closer to you till your leg is up 180 degrees.

The position we were in was a little uncomfortable since he was a male teacher and I was a female student but he was helping me improving. He then let go of my leg and told me to try it out on my own. I managed to lift it up by myself.
He switched the music and told me to improvise a bit. I did as told and we ended up dancing together. I felt eyes on us but there was no one around us so I pushed the feeling away. The break seemed longer than breaks I usually had but I wouldn't complain. It rang and I rushed to the dressing room to change and head to my locker to get my books for my last 2 lessons, another option. I had double lesson of Photography.
School ended and I was waiting for the bus. Someone sat next to me. I looked at who it was, Mr.Vella. He was a very young teacher, most probably he started teaching dance exactly after he graduated. He started speaking:
"Hey"
"Hi Mr. Vella"
"Call me Aidan out of school. I am not your teacher right now"
"Ok Aidan"
"You are a very talented dancer by the way"
"Thanks, you too"
"There is this dance competition soon and I wanted to ask if you wanted to do it with me"
"Ummm... sure"
"It will be fun I promise. I will send you all the information"
"K thanks. So when will we start rehearsing?"
"We can rehearse tomorrow during the break like today. I think it is enough time for now, then we can add rehearsals as the competition gets closer, ok?"
"Sure. My bus is here, see you tomorrow"
"Bye"
I reached home safely and I am doing my assigned homework. My parents are divorced. My mum was always either at work or partying. She rarely came home. My dad didn't like me. I was an only child. I grew up alone and had to start working early so I can live since my parents weren't always there. I work as a waitress during the night so it doesn't clash with school. I got into Blue Ash High because of a scholarship I got at my old school. I wouldn't have gone to school if it wasn't for this scholarship. Now I have one scholastic to show them that I do belong there or they won't redeem my scholarship. I had to work harder than anyone.
It was getting time to go to The Royal Emperor. It was a high class restaurant so I got a good pay there. I got ready and left for the bus again. The restaurant was 30 minutes away but the time went by fast. I am now serving this rich family. They had two sons; one looked like 8 years old. He was so cute you could pinch his cheeks. Their other son looked like a year older than me. He was tall with brown hair and brown eyes. When you just give him a small glance he would look like the rest of his family. But if you looked closely he seemed different than them. I didn't know what made him look different but it just did.
My shift ended at around midnight. My boss gave me this month's pay and it was more than usual. I asked him why and his answer surprised me. The table with the two kids I was serving tonight left me a huge amount of tips. I was very confused as to why. I left the restaurant and went home. I jumped into bed and slept peacefully.
I was currently at school again. It was Physics class and I was bored since I already knew the chapter we are doing right now. We were still doing the basics aggghhhhh. The bell should ring any minute now. RRIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGG. And it finally rang. Everyone rushed out of class while I trailed behind. I was supposed to meet the others at the same table we sat at yesterday.
They were all there waiting for me. As I sat down they bombarded me with questions:
"Where were you yesterday during second break?"
"Is it true that you danced with the hot dance teacher?"
"Are you in a relationship with him?"
"Where did you learn to dance like that?"
"Guys stop!! I was in the dance studio practicing, I did dance with the dance teacher because he was helping me with yesterday's routine. No, I am not in a relationship with and how do you know how I can dance?"
"Ok and I know from the video of you dancing"
"What video?"
"This one" Mattie took out his phone and showed me a video of me dancing with the dance teacher:
