Way To Dance

Chapter 20 - Round 2

Jack laid sleepily in his bed. He was up all night, studying for his exam and now he was so exhausted.

Kate came in his room, still in her pyjamas.

"Jack!" She said loudly.

"Hmm," responded Jack, his eyes still shut.

"Mom said it's time to get up!"

"Hmm," Jack still laid in his bed.

Kate sighed, "I didn't wanna do this." She went up to his bed and jumped on him. Jack's eyes shot open.

"Kate!"

Kate quickly hopped off the bed and ran out of the room.

Jack growled and stood up, he was not in the mood to chase Kate. He went in the bathroom to wash.

Elsa jolted up from the bed making Anna jump.

"Whoa, easy there," she said with a scowl, clearly startled.

Elsa shook her head to make her visions clear. "What you doing?"

"Well obviously trying to wake you up," stated Anna. "Don't want you to be late since you've got that exam today."

That woke up Elsa as she threw the blanket up and rushed to the bathroom.

Jack came down stairs and went into the kitchen.

"Morning," said Sandra while filling the aqua cup with coffee. "Did you sleep well?"

"Not sure," replied Jack as he glanced at the clock. It was almost 8. He took 4 chocolate chip cookies and went for the door but stopped when Kate bumped into him. She let out a gasp, wondering what Jack was going to do. Jack swallowed and said, "I would really like to chase you but I gotta go."

Kate let out a giggle. "Are you going to make it?" She asked hopefully.

Jack looked at her in confusion. "For what?"

Kate's face fell. Jack seemed worried as to why Kate looked to be hurt. She said in almost a whisper, "My birthday?"

"Is it today?" Jack almost slapped himself. Why didn't he remember? Guess he was too caught up with all the dance rehearsals and school. He looked down at Kate. "Don't worry I'll come!"

Kate beamed at him, "You better!" She turned and went back to the living room.

Jack then turned to Kate's mother who was looking at him skeptically. "What?"

"Try to be early okay?" Sandra picked up the bowl of cookies and followed her daughter. She stopped on her way and said, "Oh and good luck."

Jack made to school ground and rushed to get inside because of the time. Kristoff was on his way and stopped him on his tracks.

"Kristoff, I really need to go!" Jack tried to get away.

"Hold on," said Kristoff, his hand on his shoulder. "I just want to tell you that the World Jam round 2 starts in 11 in China Town."

Jack was taken aback. "But I'll be doing my exam!"

"I'm sorry, just try to think of something. The crew and I will be waiting for you."

"And how will I get there?"
