Me and my best friend, Amber, had taken dance with each other ever since we were three or four years old. Our mothers met and introduced us to one another, Amber being the first dance friend that I had ever made. We've been through a lot of dance drama, laughs, and tears with one another, and I wouldn't trade it for the world. Although, the funny thing about our friendship is the fact that almost everyone assumes that we're together. I'm not sure if it's because of Amber's tomboyish look or if it's the fact that we're almost always with one another. Either way, we were only friends.

Today, we were learning new parts to a former dance that we started yesterday at practice. This dance was unlike any that I've done in the past, so, I struggled with it tremendously while everyone else seemed to get it down easily. For me, it didn't come easy at all. This made me frustrated because usually, I was one of the best dancers in here, but right now I'm dancing like I'm one of the worst. The concept didn't make sense to me. Maybe it just wasn't shown to me where I could understand it or grasp it quickly like everyone else. I don't know. Getting irritated with this fact very, very quickly, I asked my coach to excuse me to the bathroom.

I walked in to the bathroom with tears of frustration running down my face. I yanked the hair tie out of my hair and balled my fists at my side. I tried getting my breathing under control, but it was hard for me because, like I said, I was usually one of the best here. I didn't know what was going on today.

I heard footsteps coming in the bathroom. I quickly brushed cold water on my face to hide my former tears. I looked up in the mirror to see Amber standing behind me. "Tiff, are you okay?" She asked. She was quite a bit taller than me, so when I turned around, I had to look up a bit. I sighed. "This stupid dance! I just, I don't know Amber! I can't get it and I don't know why! It's so simple but I just..." I vented before being interrupted. Amber put her hand onto my shoulder and used her other hand to hush me with her index finger. "You know that you're an amazing dancer. Don't let one dance get you down. You've got this." She said, looking into my eyes. "I hope so, Amb.. I do.." I said, sighing again. "Hey! You can come over to my house for a bit after practice if you want. I can try and help you. You can even stay for dinner! You know that my mom wouldn't mind because she loves you too death." Amber said, smiling. "That would be great. Thank you Amber!" I said, pulling her in for a tight hug.

"Hey mom, I brought Tiffany with me to go over a dance from today!" Amber yelled through her house when we walked in. Her mom came in the room quickly after hearing this. "Ah! My little twinkle toes!" Her mom said, engulfing me into a big hug. "Where have you been? How have you been? What's your mother been up to? Your brother, sister?" She said, asking question after question. "Mom, Tiffany and I really need to work on this dance. Do you mind?" Amber asked politely. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ask so many questions. But, I'll let you two be at work! Dinner should be ready within an hour an a half or two." Her mom said, exiting the room.

Amber went over the moves with me slowly, step by step. We first worked on the feet movements before the hand movements. They were a lot more simple than I had first thought that they were. But still, even after an hour, there was still one part that just couldn't click with me. "Like this?" I asked, brushing my left foot behind me. "No, wrong foot again. And, your hands are wrong again." She said, a bit frustrated. I sighed. "I'm sorry for being so slow." I said. "I'll tell you what. We're going to try something, okay? Just trust me." Amber said, getting behind me and grabbing my arms lightly. "Relax. Let me lead your arms. We'll do your feet next." I relaxed some, but this didn't stop my heart from pounding out of my chest. Honestly, I had always had a crush on Amber and throughout the years, it became bigger. But, she wasn't open with her sexuality so I wasn't sure of what she was. I assumed she was straight though, so it wasn't worth speaking of. "Ready?" Amber asked. I nodded quickly. "One, two, three, and one, two, three.." she counted, moving my upper body. "Like this." Amber said, doing the opposite of what I had previously done. "Okay, got it?" She asked. "I think so. It's like this, right?" I asked, mirroring what she had just done, pretending her cold hands were still guiding me. "Yes! Yes that's it!" Amber said, smiling. "Now, the feet!" This time, she stood in front of me. "Put your toes on mine. Let me guide you through the steps." I hesitantly did what she had said and placed my toes on hers, making sure not to crush her feet. "Ready?" She asked again. I gulped and I was more nervous than before. "Yes, I guess so." I said. She began to guide my feet along with hers, but the shoes that I had on were very slippery and I almost fell. She caught me by my lower back and brought my upper body close to hers. She stared at me intensely and in a way that she hasn't before. "I'm sorry! I'm so clum-" I was cut off by her placing her hand on the back of my head and pulling my face towards hers. "You talk too much sometimes." She whispered against my lips, making them meet after her sentence. I began kissing back instantly, loving this moment.

"Girls! Dinner is ready!" Ambers mother called from the other room. We jumped and backed away quickly. We looked at each other and giggled. "Let's go." Amber said, leading us to the kitchen.
