The trouble with boys

Chapter three

After work, G and I were ready to release some stress, much needed!

G: "Wait! Weren't you going to get a haircut?" she raised her eyebrow.

I knew that look too well. "I will check the place Bambam told me and make an appointment for tomorrow, ok?"

G: "Fine. Let's go I don't want to be late and we still have to change."

We both loved to dance around while cleaning, we decided, well more like she, to check out a dance studio. I used to dance when I was little, guess this should not be so hard.

The studio was about 30 minutes away from our house, so we decided to walk instead of talking the bus. The air felt a bit cold, but so nice against my skin. The chill of winter was coming and I could not wait. G drone on and on about Seth. About him not having a job, not doing anything all day while she worked and made a living for herself.

"G, I got to be honest" I did not hesitate to tell her how I felt. "I don't get why you are with him. You are my best friend and I consider you an amazing person, he is not".

G: "I know... I just don't want to be alone" she said while looking down.

Carly: "Well, I'm here! I'm not invisible" I screamed, frightening her.

G: "I know" she hugged me. "But he gives me stuff" she whined.

Carly: "Ew! No, no way in hell I'm giving you that and I don't want to hear it" I shouted while walking ahead of her.

She caught up to me and hit me with a newspaper. "Not what I meant!" she yelled. We laughed.

We made our way to the hair salon, made the appointment and went straight to the dance studio. The music was loud, but not a lot of people were there. We changed out from our uniform. I loved being comfortable, black t-shirt and sweatpants was the deal for me when it came to dancing. G, she was different, leggings with a skirt and shirt to match. Of course, both of us in sneakers.

"Here you go guys" said the clerk to us, pointing at the room that was ours for an hour. "People might join you, if you don't mind, but is not very busy today. Enjoy!" he said as he closed the door.

We put on some music for us to get into the mood and start stretching at least. G and I had different taste in music so our playlist was unique. We came to an agreement to just have one playlist, after a very long discussion, but today it seem different.

G: "Can we use your playlist?" she said while stretching her arms.

Carly: "Yeah, why?" I curiously asked.

G: "I need some sexiness today and your playlist has that".

Carly: "Aw, I'm flatter and again, ew!" I started laughing and she came running again and got me with the newspaper. "I'm starting to feel like a dog". I knew what she wanted, a release from Seth drama.

"Well, ready? I want to see that booty drop to the floor!" I screamed at her.

Black widow played and then just to surprised her I put some Arianna with side to side. She looked at me surprised and happy and just kept dancing. I went and join her to dance the stress away.

I could hear music playing. Good music, the kind you can dance and groove to, but the place seemed to be deserted. Where was this music coming from? I kept searching all the rooms, until I found the source for the amazing sound, but was blown away at what I saw.

"Yah! Yugyeom, why are you here? Our room is over there". I was frightened by Jackson. "Shh, hyung, look at him dance?" I was in impressed. He was dancing, thrusting his hips and you could feel his swag in every movement, that went very well with the song that was playing.

"Big deal, I can do that and so can you" Jackson said. "I'm giving you 5 minutes to be at the dance room or I'll send Mark to come get you." I didn't care. I keep watching him from afar until I could not anymore. I needed to say something to him.

"Excuse me?" I was surprise to see a girl in the room managing the playlist. "Sorry to come in like this but you were amazing! You dance with so much passion and swag. Just wow!" I could not hide my excitement. He turned and took his hat off. "Um, thanks!" I was shocked to hear a girl's voice. Her cheeks were red and she was stunned.

Yugyeom: "Oh, noona!" I was so embarrassed. "I'm sorry", I bowed and said repeatedly.

Carly: "No, is ok. I do look like a boy wearing this" she smiled, but I knew she was embarrassed.

Yugyeom: "Hi, I'm Yugyeom! I was on my way to the room at the end, but I heard the music and saw you dance... wow, you really are amazing!"

Carly: "Nice to meet you I'm Carly and that is G" they both smiled and waved at me.

Yugyeom: "Are you trainees or just dancing for fun?" I asked. They both said for fun.

I wanted to keep talking to them, but I knew if I was late I would be in trouble. "Well, I hope to see you guys around. Maybe we could dance together" I said. I felt cheesy smiling so much, but I could not help it, their energy was magnetic. "By the way, what's the name of the song you she was dancing to?" I had to ask, the song made me want to dance.

G: "If I'm not mistaken is Jason Derulo with Zipper" she smiled and winked at me.

As I left the room, I walked into Mark, who was coming to get me. "Yah, we're waiting for you... Hey, who are they?" he said pointing at the girls I just met. "They are pretty, like really pretty".

"Hyung, we got a practice". He straightens up and walked with me, as I was telling him the story, I saw Jackson, "hyung, it was a girl dancing, not a boy!" I said and he just stared at me.

Jackson: "Really? Was she pretty? She did have great moves" he said grinning.

Mark: "Both were very pretty" he replied.

Yugyeom: "Yeah, they just left."

Carly: "So, we are winking a Yugyeom now? You do know you are older than him, right?"

G: "It slipped my eye" lamest excuse she has ever used on me. "But did you see the other guy? He was cute."

She flashed a smile I haven't seen in a while, not even while being with Seth. "I didn't see him closely to know, but let's go."

We decided to take the bus this time, we were dead after dancing for an hour and worst very hungry. I was dreaming of eating some rice, meat and kimchi, but when we arrived home, Seth was waiting for G. Goodbye nice dinner with my best friend. I hugged her, said hi to him and made my way to my apartment.

After a shower, I felt how sore my back was. I ignored the pain and went ahead and ate some leftovers Ajumma had left for me. She always did this when I had to come back to study and I was thankful for it.

Just one more paper to read, only 10 pages. I can do it, I kept reassuring myself but after page 2 my eyes started to feel heavy and I could not hold on to reality any longer, I gave in.
