Rock Your Body

Chapter Twelve🎶

*a month later*

During the past month of being here in LA, things have been getting better. My mama & I slowly got along more, for the sake of the little girls in our home; my dad was barely home or hardly ever says a word to us...but, the girls didn't care much about it. As long as the girls are healthy and happy, I don't care either.

Tanya comes over often and usually Brianna would stay the night over there with Stephanie or it'd be the other way around and I'm hanging out and having a sleepover with Tanya. Bianca would tag along every now & then, or she'd stay home with me instead for the night if we weren't in the mood.

I have grown stronger friendships with not only Chris, but with Neveah, Mya and Rebecca as well. I love them. My sisters. We're like a little squad and it's a honor to be a part of it with these terrific people.

They'd worry so much about me if I wasn't eating or a rain cloud was over my head. They'd also tease me with my close relationship to Chris, and tell me how the school has been gossiping about it; naming us the cutest couple when we aren't even together. I'd love to someday though. I can't lie about that...

"Mikayla & Michael are COMING! NOW! Y'all...shit...we AIN'T prepared!!!"

The dance class panicks, zooming in every direction of the the classroom, fixing up the room, sweeping the floor, throwing on their uniforms and fastly warming up with quick stretches. Some were screaming with fear, while others were viciously arguing about a dance move. These panic attacks full of anxiety I witness from my peers begins worry me too.

What the hell!?

Should I be panicking too?

"Y'all need to chill-"

"Shut up Chris!" Tremaine yells, but then sighs.

"You and Crystal lost to them last year, and your ass cried like it was the season finale of Friends-"

"Leave Chris ALONE nigga!!!" Neveah hisses and shoves Tremaine away.

"Wait, what's going on baby!?" Aaron grabs Neveah's hand before she could dart across the classroom, and she sighs.

"They are coming, today! Right now! We barely practiced or had time to decide on our team leaders-"

"Chris and I will do it, again, like always! Don't panic y'all! We got this!!!!" Crystal smiles. I roll my eyes.

"No, that's fine Crystal, we should have a new team lead-"

"What? Excuse me? Who the hell could replace me? Tell me! WHO!" Crystal shouts. I swear, she be doing the most.

I look up from my phone as the room got suddenly silent, and all eyes were on me.

"....what are y'all staring at?" I ask. Mya claps her hands together and grins.
