I didn't really expect this......

Chapter 15

Tiana's P.O.V

Things have been getting really bad between Peter and Neil. Peter is always pissed when Neil's around. He punched Neil really hard when I wasn't looking and Neil's face looked pretty bad. It still looks bad. I haven't let Peter come over since that incident. I never thought he could get so violent. I asked Neil why Peter punched him but he said that it was guy stuff.

Neil joined our school but I only see him during recess, before and after school. He hangs out with me and Peter which makes almost all the other girls jealous. It's not my fault two hot guys are hanging out with me. 

We're having our annual school fair and I'll be dancing again. Only this time it's free style. Peter signed up for it and so did Neil. We'll be doing a group dance with a couple of other students. 

For some reason, ever since high school started, the bullying has reduced. I do get picked on but there's not much physical bullying going on. 

Peter is around me a lot these days. Maybe he does like me. But he has changed from a smiling guy to an angry dude. Neil smirks more than he has ever smirked. 

I leave for school and I wait for the bus. Peter and Neil have both not come. Weird. I get in when the bus arrives and the bus starts moving. That's when I see Peter running. He looks funny like that. However I go to the driver and I tell him to stop the bus. He does and when Peter finally gets in and says " Thanks a lot." I smile and we walk back to our seat. 

I say " Why were you late?" and he says " It's a long story." then he says " Where's Neil?" I say " I don't know. He didn't show up this morning either." That makes Peter smile. He's finally smiling! He basically smiles until we get back home.

When I get back home I do what I normally do. Nothing exciting happens. I call Neil so I can check on him. He says " Hey." I say " Hey. Why didn't you come to school today?" He says " I fell sick." I say " Oh. What happened?" He says " Fever." I say " Oh. Is it really bad?" He says " No. It's has improved compared to how it was in the morning." I say " Do you want me to come over?" He says " No. It's okay. Thanks." I say " Your welcome."

I do my home work and I get ready for dance. Then I leave precisely 15 minutes earlier. While I'm walking to class I meet Peter. I say " Hey. What are you doing here?" He says " Bored. Decided to roam around." I say " Oh. I'll see you later." He says " You're heading to dance?" I nod in reply. He says " I'll come with you." I say " It will get boring." He says " Your dancing is never boring." I smile.

I change and get inside the studio. Then I start warming up since my teacher still hasn't come. Then I start rehearsing the variations. She doesn't come for the next 1/2 hour so I dance to random music from my phone. After a while someone opens the studio door and they stare at me. I look crazy to them because I'm not acting like a ballerina. My teacher is behind the person who is giving me a look. That person looks at my teacher and says " Is she the ballet dancer?" My teacher nods in reply and that person says " Absolutely terrible! How can she be a ballerina?! Look at the way she's acting! No discipline at all!" Who is this person? 

That person says " I want to see her dance! If she isn't good enough I'll have someone replace her!" I'm screwed. She says " Show me the fire bird variation." That's the hardest variation I learned! I nod and I position my self. Some one save me. The music starts playing and I dance.

( An hour later)

" She's a terrible dancer! Why did you take her of all students?!" says that person. I'm crying in front of everyone. It's so embarrassing. The teacher says " She's just tired. She's never danced so much." But that person says " So what?! She has to be prepared for anything!" I just can't take this any more. That person says " You need to get a replacement by today! She can't dance on the stage!" my teacher nods in reply and I run out of the room. 

I go to the washroom and I wash my face. Then I change back to my normal clothes and I have one last look at my face. It's red and my eyes are puffy. Peter is going to see me like this. How awesome!

I get out of the washroom and I go to the waiting room but he isn't there. He probably left due to boredom. I walk out of the building and someone says " Bravo!" WTF I look to my right and I see Peter there holding a bouquet of flowers saying 'Bravo' What happened to him? I say " Are you okay?" He says " Yes." and then he hands me the bouquet of flowers and says " This is for you." I say " And why is that?" He says " Because you danced really well." I give him the bouquet back and I say " Bull shit. I'm pretty sure you heard what that lady said. I'M BEING REPLACED." He says " Nobody can replace you." I say " That's what you think." and I roll my eyes. He says " You want to go to the park?" I say " Why? It's too late to be going there." He says " Doesn't matter." and he takes my dance bag and says " Catch me!" and he runs. 

Peter's P.O.V

" Give me my bag back!" says Tiana. I run towards the park and I hide behind one of the trees. She shouts saying " I'm going to get you!" She finds me and she takes the bag and she runs. I run after her saying " Give me that!" After a while of chasing her I finally pounce on her and we both fall but I get the bag out. She laughs and surrenders herself. She says " Okay! Okay." and after a while I get off her and I lie on the grass. She says " Why did you do all that?" I say " Because I wanted you to smile." I turn my head towards her. She looks pretty even when she's lying on the grass. I don't realize I'm staring at her. She turns her head towards me, smiling and she says " What?" I smile and say " You look beautiful." She blushes and I realize what I said. I get up and turn my back towards her. She says " You want an answer to your question right." I don't answer her. She says " I still love you Peter. I really do." 

I turn towards her and I say " You do? I mean I still haven't given you my answer." She says " Well what is your answer?" I stammer saying " Tiana...I..I.." " It doesn't matter if you don't like me. At least tell me now so I can move on." says Tiana cutting me. I say " You never let me talk do you?" She smiles. I say " So I'll tell you this way." and I kiss her. She kinda seems shocked but she kisses me back. She puts her arms around my neck and I put my arms around her waist and I kiss her. 

After a while I say " That's my answer Tiana Wilson." She kisses me back and says " I love you Peter." I say " I love you too."

I sit on the grass and she lies down. She says " Why do you like me?" I say " Because you're different." She says " I need some elaboration." in the tone our English teacher from last year used to use. I laugh and says " You're amazing, you seem talented to me, you're strong, beautiful, flexible and the list goes on." She says " Do I look strong to you?" I say " I don't mean physical. I mean mental." She says " Oh." I say " You're unique." She smiles and says " Thanks." I say " Why do you like me?" She says " You're really sweet." I say " I don't think I taste like sugar!" and she laughs. Then she says " Fine. You're really nice, you're good looking." I say " Oh." She smiles and says " You make me smile." I smile and I say " I always will make you smile." 

After a while she says " Remember last year? I was so mean to you." I say " It's okay. You're not mean now." then I say " I'm sorry I kept you waiting for so long. I didn't want to tell you this way. I wanted to tell you in a better way." She smiles and says " There's nothing better than this." She looks at her watch and she says " We've got to get home. It's 11:30pm!" I smile and say " Alright." 

I drop her back to her house and I say " I'll see you tomorrow." and she says " Bye. Don't be late!" and I smile and say " Alright. Bye." and I leave. 

While walking back home I remember that I forgot something. I run back to her house and I ring the bell. She shouts saying " Who the hell is it?!" and she opens the door. She raises an eyebrow and I say " I forgot to ask you something." She smiles and says " What is it?" I stand up straight and I say " Will you be my girl friend?" and she says " Yes I will." And I kiss her again. Then she says " You've got to get home or you're mom will be worried." I say " Okay. Good night. Sweet dreams. Bye." She smiles and says " Bye." 

When I reach my house I run up to my bed room and jump on the bed. Today was better than I expected. Dennis comes in and says " Where were you?" I say " I was out with somebody special." My brother says " Did you tell her yet?" I say " Yes! I finally did!" He says " And?" I say " And she told me for the second time." He says " How did you tell her? I need some tips." I say " You like someone?" He nods in reply. I smile and say " Do it your own way."
