"You fool,you call that a dance!? You clearly have no talent!"5 sneered,

You sighed,looking down at your feet,as if that insult wasn't another stab to your already low self-esteem...

"Hey,at least she's not a dance breaker unlike you!"you look over your shoulder,suprised to see Phred standing there,looking rather grim,with his hood up,it made him even more menacing,

"In fact,I bet (Y/N) has more talent in one toe than all of the students here combined,"Phred growled,before looking over you apologetically,"C'mon (Y/N),"He put his hand out to you,"We don't have to listen to this fool any longer.

"Okay,"with a nod,you grasped his hand and the two of you drove to his house and went to his room,it was nearly empty,granting him plenty of room to practice his breakdancing,a type of dance you admired,but you grew up learing and loving (Favorite type of dance),but some people often judged and criticized you...and you let it get under your skin,especially with 5's insult,you didn't understand,though,you only danced because you loved to,not for some silly competition,why couldn't people understand that?

"Jeez (Y/N)"Phred spoke up,snapping you out of your thoughts,"you shouldn't let that fool talk you down like that"

"Sorry,"you muttered,sitting down on the bed,

"What are you sorry for?"Phred raised one eyebrow,putting his hood down,"if anything,5 should be sorry...and I won't hesitate to go back and MAKE him feel-"

"Its alright Phred,thank you for stepping up for me"you looked up at him,smilling,though your eyes didn't show any sign of happiness,

"(Y/N),please.."Phred said,sitting down next to you,"it's not healthy to take all those insults to heart,you know that 5 likes being a jerk to everyone,not just you"

"I know that,but-"

"You've been judged throughout your life,I get that"he cuts in,putting his hand on top of yours,"but shouldn't push away those who are trying to help you,C'mon (Y/N),talk to me...what's it gonna take? Should I hit up Mo?

You shrugged,"I don't know honestly..I don't even think he can help me,His words the other day didn't really help so much.."

Phred looked at you,almost shocked,"Damn...you better not tell him that or he's gonna cry,he worked hard on that litte speech,"

"Okay,okay I won't"you giggle softly,"we need one less person in this world,am I right?"

"Yeah"Phred chuckled,'this means I'm her only hope...'He stopped and hummed a bit,trying to think of a good way that will get your spirits up,

He then had an brilliant idea,

Grinning widely,he stood up and put his hood over his head,Confused,you watched as he walked over to the boombox on the dresser,

"Words may mean nothing to you.....but I bet music does"

He turned on the boombox and cranked the volume up as a familier song starts to play...your favorite song,

"🎵Hmmm hey,Mmm🎵"

"Care for a dance?"Phred was back in front of you,his hand extended to you once more,Smilling lightly,you took his hand and let him pull you up,he brought you to the middle of the room just as the song began the first verse,

'🎵Hey!
Don't think about it
Just move your body
Listen to the music,sing "Oh,Ey,Oh!"
Just move those left feet
Go ahead get crazy!
Anyone can do it,sing "Oh,Ey,Oh!

Show the world you got that fire(fire!)
Feel the rhythm getting louder!
Show the world what you can do!
Prove to them you got the moves!
I don't know about you

But I feel better when I'm dancing
Yeah yeah
Better when I'm dancing
Yeah yeah
And we can do this together!
I bet you feel better when you're dancing
Yeah yeah🎵'

Almost like magic,the song gave you a boost to your self-esteem and you soon found yourself lost in the music,the words did have meaning this time...you did feel better when you're dancing,"wow Phred"you said,"when did you learn to dance like this?"

Phred just shrugged,"lets just say that Zack taught me a thing or two about tango"he dipped you down and brought you back,twirling you around as Meghan Trainor began singing the next verse,

'🎵When you finally let go
You slay that solo
Cause you listen to the music,sing"Oh,Ey,Oh
Cause you're confident babe!
And you make your hips sway!
We knew that you could do it,sing"Oh,Ey,Oh

Show the world you that fire(fire baby!)
Feel the rhythm getting louder!
Show the world what you can do!
Prove to them you got the moves!
I don't know about you

But I feel better when I'm dancing
Yeah,yeah
Better when I'm dancing
Yeah,yeah
And we can do this together!
I bet you feel better when you're dancing!
Yeah,yeah!🎵'

A bright smile appeared on your face,as the negative thoughts that once clouded your mind have at last disappeared,Phred mirrored your smile,glad to have his buddy back,as you both dance to your hearts' content for the remainder of the song,

For the first time since you enter Riddle dance school,you were legitimately happy and confident about the way you dance,

And its all thanks to a lazy,breakdancing student in a brownish green hoodie,
