Rock Your Body

Chapter Fifteen🎶

"Don't go in yet."

Chris steps in front of Mrs. Lopez's room, stopping my tracks. I groan.

"Last hour's scavenger hunt was a pain in my ass," I sigh. "I'm exhausted. Please let me sit down in there..." I look behind him, trying to peak in there for someone to let me in. Chris quickly blocks me from doing so.

"Aww your feet hurt, babygirl?"

"Yeah..." I pout and blush.

He smirks. "Let me help you with that," Chris swifts me off my feet and into his arms in a bridal style position.

I squeal as he spins me around and zooms through the halls with me about to slip from his arms. Hah. I enjoy his goofiness. My favorite quality from Chris is his humor, but his cuteness, or I should say hotness at times overpowers that trait.

"Maurice, you can let me go now,"

"I'll never let you go." Chris spins me around once more and I laugh.

The bell rings and for the first time ever, I'm late. I wasn't even panicking over my first tardy. Weird.

"We should get to class-"

"Mrs. Lopez isn't in there to take attendance, dummy. You don't have your first tardy, yet." Chris smirks and I playfully slap him across the face from calling me a dummy.

"Damn. Being in a relationship with you is sure gonna be a lot harder than I thought," I tease when he puts me back down on the floor and I start walking to class.

Chris catches up to me and decides racing me to class.

He thought.

My legs truly hurt like hell.

"Come on ring ring!!!"

"I'm coming!" I laugh, picking up my pace and run in as Chris opens the door for me. The room was pitch black and quiet inside, until Chris turns on all four light switches.

"WE LOVE YOU BELLA!!!!"

The class enthusiastically shouts with a huge sparkly silver and black banner with my name on it, and it seemed the class was throwing a party...for me?!

"Aww, I love you guys too!!!" I almost burst into tears at this huge surprise my friends put together for me!

"Bella, you saved us big time yesterday!" Mya hugs me.

"Yeah!" Rebecca chimes in. "You're super talented and...and you brought us all together as one kickass team, am I right y'all?!" Rebecca turns around and the class nods, cheering and smiling happily.

"Aww, don't cry!" Tanya wipes one of my happy tears for me and I sniffle, hugging her too.

"Mrs. Lopez let us celebrate you today for, well, simply being you B." Neveah smiles and adds, "We really love you."

"And yeah, I love you too, even though I may not show it in the best way." Rebecca winks and I giggle.

"Thank you so so so much guys!"

"You're welcome!" The girls say in perfect unison, and Chris hugs me from behind again, kissing my cheek as the class awes.

I didn't see Patrice or Crystal in here, which is great and relieving. Hopefully it's going to be a better day for all of us in here with no drama, but it gives me suspicion. Crystal may hate my guts at this point for taking her spotlight, but we all managed to win it, right? It's the team effort that got us through the first round, not just me.
