Kaycee Rice joins a high school where she discovers a whole new side to teenage life. Follow her through her life in high school, relationships, dance and maybe even drama she never expected.
Monday came quickly for the group and certain two of them weren't ready to return to lessons. Kaycee smiled vaguely at the congratulating bypassers, too focused on finding out whether Sean has cooled of or not. The atmosphere in the studio was tense between the two sides and wasn't greatly improved by Tricia's announcement. "This week we will focus on trust. We will be doing partner work but not a complete routine as we have the movie premiere on Wednesday." Completely missing the glum faces of her students she went on "Now I will pick your partners" 'Well here comes nothing' Kaycee thought as the first pair, Gabe and Tati, was announced. Tahani and Will were paired up as well as Charlize and Josh. At this point everyone was holding their breath to see if the conflicting pair will be put together. Low and behold Tricia called out Kenneth and Bailey, leaving only Kaycee and Sean. "Of you go guys! Spread out in pairs and start with some simple balance exercises" while the rest of the pairs slowly began to chat and lighten up, Kaycee and Sean refused to meet one another's eye even when told to hold each other's hands. "Listen K-" "Alright break time!" All the kids filed out of the room, walking to the court yard. Kaycee was checking her phone when someone familiar approached her. "Had fun with Sean on Friday?" "Listen Grant, we're not going out, it was not on purpose!" She told him calmly. "It's fine" he responded seating himself next to her and placing an arm around her shoulders " Sean, no matter what he tries to make others believe, is still a player of sorts. Will go after a sweetheart like you any day" Kaycee blushed at his words making Grant laugh. Unbeknownst to them, a certain group of boys had overheard their conversation. "He didn't" Ken said. "He's getting it now!" "Sean !" The four tried to catch up to their friend in an effort to stop him but it was in vain. "SEAN!" he had hit Grant square in the jaw sending him flying backwards. Kaycee was beyond scared, she had never seen Sean, nor anyone for that matter, that angry. Grant pulled himself up, spitting blood on the floor "Lets go then Lew!" With that he threw himself at Sean breaking out into a fullout fight. The crowd gathered so quickly that no professor could get through. "Stop!" Kaycee tried to stop the two at seeing more blood drip on the ground, but was held back by Josh. "Please stop them guys!" She begged the other boys. "Kaycee, Sean hasn't been great with Grant for years now, he needs to release his anger!" Will told her looking helplessly at his friend. She had relaxed slightly making Josh weaken his grip on her. Just then she saw Sean grab Grant by the collar of his jumper ready to give another punch. On instant Kaycee broke free from Josh, grabbing Sean's hand and turning it away from Grant. In his rage Sean dropped Grant and spun Kaycee around, pushing her into the building wall his fist throwing that last punch into the wall, millimeters away from her face. "Kaycee!" The girls yelled thinking she had been hit. After that it was silent in the court, even the outraged Grant didn't dare move. Sean slowly lifted his head, his raging eyes meeting Kaycee's in which he saw no fear, only pure worry. He slowly dropped his bleeding fist from the wall and a small smile crept onto the face of the girl in front of him. To everybody's surprise, Kaycee hugged Sean tightly with him returning the gesture. A round of cheers flew through the court before "Mr Lew, Mr Knoche could you please follow me to the principal's office " Sean looked towards Grant who inspite his bleeding face, didn't fail to deliver yet another surprise . "It's my fault Miss Lease, I provoked him" if you could hear how many jaws had dropped to the floor in that moment, you wouldn't believe it. "Right then, Mr Lew make your way to the nurse" he nodded at the teacher waiting as the crowd separated for Grant to leave. He then turned to Kaycee who was still close by his side "You okay?" She only nodded silently in response. Right then the bell went off "Get to lessons! Nothing to see here!" Tahani ran over to Kaycee who told the former that she would take Sean to the nurse before going to practice. He didn't take his eyes off her " You sure? You'll miss practice". Interestingly to him she smiled replying with "What's the point, you're my partner anyways, besides" she reached up, whiping blood off his cheek," Can't trust you to get yourself cleaned up propperly, can I?" That really did make Sean want to laugh but with the pain in his face he just smiled.
Kaycee's P.O.V
We walked into the studio around 20 minutes late with the first thing that Tricia said to us being " Where have you been and what so crazy could happen in 10 minutes of break time that these guys can't explain?" We looked at our friends who just shrugged back. "Well..." after explaining the most interesting story to Tricia we finally got back to practice. "Okay now that everything is fine, I want you just to try out this pose, doesn't matter if it looks scary, just try!"

We were all, understandably hesitant to try this lift but the absence of the need of perfection made it much easier. "Just go for it, run, jump, just try!" Tricia told us while sitting by the mirror and at that moment Tahani ran at Will who cought her but the two ened up falling to the floor in a pile of laughter. The two continued to fall while Tati and Gabe kept getting up but Gabe ended up dropping Tati from high up and catching her before she hit the floor. Bailey and Kenneth never really got too high but still had fun along with Charlize and Josh. Sean and I were a different story, now that we had sorted everything out it was a lot easier to work together. When it came to our turn everyone watched, it all went smooth and we ended up just like in the picture. "Of course those two are perfect!" Too early had Ken said that, as the next second I felt myself tilt forward and fall, doing a front tuck in the air to land on my feet. I looked back at Sean who was doubled over laughing and then at our friends who tried to contain their own laughter. "Ta-da?"
