Brandons P.O.V

I woke and changed into regular dance gear and got my keys driving through Duncan doughnuts and finished the drive to the ballet school. "hey Brandon" Chloe said looking uncomfortable. she wore a pink Leo and ballet slippers. "hey Chloe" I stiffled a laugh. "something funny Brandon" snapped a voice behind me. I turned around and Taylor stood there wearing a navy blue Leo, point shoes, tights, with her hair in a tight pun. "none at all" I said and she glared sharply. She was back to her cold self and walked away to the bar. Olivia, Mia, and Hanna all walked in the same as Chloe: awkward. The boys came in tight sweat pants and tank tops. I started laughing at them and Taylor cut in. "I don't want to hear anything thing out of your mouth for a while Brandon" Taylor replaid. "START WARM UPS" she screamed turning on light piano ballads. "plea, out to second, grandee plea, out to fifth grandee plea, split, roll over and the gracefully get up" Taylor smirked hitting play and the music filled our ears while Benjamin next to me got to work. "dude help me out she's going to have my head on a stick if I don't do this" I pleaded and eventually I got it down. I looked across the room where Taylor was stretching with Lexi and helping Mia. "Is she always so uptight" I asked. "oh yes she's going light today" Aiden to my answered. "why" I asked. "she is stressed with winning this ballet scholarship and winning a competition" he answered and I nodded. "I just don't get how she could let all that stress get to her and still put on a brave face" I wondered. "she's a fighter her" he said. "ALRIGHT SPLIT" Taylor screamed and Aiden and Benjamin got down in a split and my jaw dropped. HOW?! I watched Mia easily go down into a split and Olivia, Hanna, and Chloe had trouble. Us guys tried to but it wasn't working. "Alright i'll let it go" she snapped and set music. "I want a jete, jete, grandee jete sutino" she said and the ballerina's nodded and she rolled her eyes and showed us. "I can't do those" I said and everyone started laughing. Taylor looked at the ballerinas and they stopped laughing right away. "At least try Brandon" she glared and Isabelle leaped through the air three times and sutinoed. "good job izzie your getting better" Taylor smiled sweetly at her. Aiden went the I tried but it made everyone laughed but I shrugged and Taylor shook her head at me and Kevin went and did pretty good. After we all finished we had to learn the core of ballet and find our center. "you really have to keep your balance so you have to find your core and center" she said closing her eyes and staying an relevae for a minute. "what is this yoga" I asked and Taylor lost her focus while everyone laughed again. "can I talk to you outside Brandon" she asked and I walked outside. "whats up" I asked. "what's up you have made fun of me the whole time in there" she said. "well your a completely different person" I said. "I don't care this dosen't concern us and our personality's its about our passion for dance and that is my passion" she said close to tears. "just try please" she asked and walked back in while I stayed out there till I finally walked back in to see the boys falling out of relevae and Taylor helping them ."it's all in your stomach muscles you guys use muscles a lot in hip hop" she asked and they nodded. "so just think about pulling up but tightning your stomach musscles" she said and they nodded groaning in pain. "but it hurts" they groaned and she giggled a little. "well yeah cause your not use to it" she laughed when we heard yelling. "HEY HEY HEY WHATS GOING ON HERE" Taylor yelled walking over to Lexi and Chloe. "Chloe insulted you" Lexi said and I marched over to Chloe. "Chloe what are you doing if you want to keep dancing keep working and trying to learn something and get it through your thick head" I snapped at her and she sulked but nodded. "Lexi thanks for sticking up for me but your ultimate thing when someone gets on your nerves is fighting we're supposted to get into julliart together but they won't take you if they think your a weak link and if your a always fighting and can't get along with others they won't take you and I don't want to see that happen but thank you" Taylor said and Lexi nodded eyes wide. "I want to get in" Lexi threw her arms around Taylor. "I want to, to" she whispered and Lexi walked away. "thanks" Taylor said lightly and I nodded walking towards the guys and tried to find my center. I finally found it and lost it. "thats it today class dismissed" Taylor said taking a sip of water and groans filled the room from ballerina's. "but Tay what about end of class work out" Ella asked. "sorry Ella" Taylor smiled sadly at her. "Why" Zoe demanded. "yeah why cause the hip hoppers can't take it" Madison barked. "I said enough" Taylor snapped and they nodded. "end of class work out" I asked david and he nodded. "yeah we normally do that today is the first time in three years that Taylor has skipped a work out" David said and I nodded walking out of the building. I hid in the bathroom till I was sure everyone was gone and I snuck back to the ballet room which was almost closed with a crack in the door. Taylor sat in the middle of the room her knees up to her chin and looked up at the sky/ cealing. Eventually she got up and put in a CD and listened to it for a while. It was a hip hop ballet song. She started making a dance out of the song. I think the song was 'wasting all these tears on you'. I eventually left to go home practice ballet and show Taylor her passion means something to me.
