It All Started With A Dare...

Bad To Worse

Have you ever had that feeling where you just want to hide and never see someone again? Well, that's how I felt when James and his "girlfriend" walked into the auditorium. I feel like smacking off the smirk Angelina has when she is with him.

Angelina doesn't deserve someone like him. James is kind, thoughtful and sweet. But she is such a bitch.

"Ahh... Mr. Pierre. what excuse do you have for being late for class," Mrs. Conner said.

James walked down the stairs and when he walked by me I couldn't help but feel an electric spark. But it was like he didn't notice me. Gee. Good Morning to you too.

He then walked down to Mrs. Conner. Angelina, at least that's who I think she is, came over and sat next to me. She gave me a "in your face" face but still smiled like she was all innocent. Did she even know me? Interesting.

Screw you. You know what? If she wants to play that game, I will too.

"Hi! My name is Belle. Your Angelina, right?" I asked in my kindest voice.

She just nodded, obviously shocked that I was "being nice to her". Great. Now, time to set the trap. Wow, what has gotten into me? I was acting so revengeful.

"You know, you are so different from all the others." I said.

She had a confused look. "What others?"

"Oh you don't know? James has literally been with so many girls that I have lost count. I think you are number what" I did my best confused look for a few seconds." number 36."Ha! In your face!

I really got to her because she ran out with a very pissed look on her face. James then came up to me. I suddenly got really nervous.

"Hi", he said breaking the silence. I gave him a small smile.

"Hi. So we are partners for our dance/singing thing." I stated.

"Yeah, about that. Mrs.Conner wants us both to do a routine right now because I was late for class."

"What? I..I..I can't really dance or sing.", I told James.

He smiles when I say that. "Liar. Mrs.Conner said that you used to take Hip Hop and Jazz classes when 10" he said. " She also said that you took singing classes".

Oh My God. Could today get any worse! I have to perform in front of my class! Ugh! WHY!

"Alright, fine. At least I will have someone there with me", I state.

Right when I say that, he looks guilty. "Actually Mrs. Conner said that we each have to do our performances separately". 

Dammit.

I walk away from James but he follows me to the front of the auditorium.

"Miss Ryenson! There you are! Please step on stage and sing or dance. Either or is fine. Just tell me which song you want me to use and I will search it for you," she says to me kindly. Well at least she likes me.

I picked the song Weak by AJR. But I couldn't do it alone so I called my friends that did Hip Hop with me since I was 10. Their names were Alexia, Jared, and Ryan. They literally were total badass' so when I called they were there in seconds. It's like they were waiting for me to call them. Jared even had time to pick up some dance clothes. I wore a blue tank top with a leather jacket and jean shorts. I loved them so much. Our parents were really good friends, so I guess they moved here too.

I was actually worried we were going to get in trouble but Mrs. Conner didn't mind at all.

When they arrived we went to change and performed our dance. We created a dance when we were all at dance camp. I had so much fun! They made me believe that I can do whatever want. They brought out the sassy side of me but not in a bad way.

I was really nervous but when they were there with me it was all my problems disappeared. No James.

To understand this dance scene better go to this link https://youtu.be/7Auj2OyX48M                 Fast forward to 2:57. Belle is the one who is dressed in what I mentioned! Alexia is the blonde one. Jared is in the blue shirt. Ryan is the last one. Enjoy watching! Also belle doesn't have to look like that! She is older and doesn't have to look like that in your mind. I just wanted you guys to have a visual of what the dance is like!

Back to the story...

After we finished our last move, everyone. And I mean EVERYONE was shocked. All the students were completely surprised but then started clapping even Mrs. Conner! 

I felt proud until I looked at James who was still in shock. When our eyes met, he gave me a nervous look like he was going to blow it when he did a dance.

I ran down the stairs to James.

"You okay?" I asked him. He chuckled. I was confused.

"You were amazing up there", he told me. I could feel the blood coming up to my cheeks. " I am gonna suck when I am up there".

" No you aren't, I'm sure you are a decently good dancer." I told him. He laughed and I couldn't help but laugh as well.

Alexia, Ryan, and Jared also came down and started talking to Mrs. Conner. Huh. Weird. They never talk to teachers, they never did.

Mrs. Conner started laughing, and nodding her head. What were my friends up to? She then motioned James to the stage.

James gulped and started to head down when I grabbed his hand. I didn't know what got into me but I felt like I needed to do it.

"You are going to be great. I believe in you", I said to him. He smiled and continued to walk up to the stage, when he told Mrs. Conner something.

She nodded and looked at me.

"Ahh. Miss Ryenson, James told me you wanted to join him for his dance. James then looked up and had a smirk on his face.

Asshole.
