A Locked Up Heart.

Chapter Fifteen - Practice Makes Perfect.

After the horrifying ordeal of Frank's capture. Sherlock and i agreed that we needed to have some normalcy in our lives. So we focused on school and our upcoming play. We practiced our lines till we knew them by heart... but it wasn't enough apparently...

"You both look so stiff together...I don't even know what to do with you." commented the prof.

"How about dance class or something!" Andrea piped up.

"What a marvelous idea Andrea!" Cheered Professor Smith. "Yes I will have you two learn how to waltz!"

"I already know." Sherlock says in a small voice.

I whip my head around to look at him. "You what?" I said disbelievingly. 

"How about you teach her then Sherlock?!" Andrea says stuffing some popcorn into her mouth.

"Well now I, erm I guess, I could if, it is okay, er with um." Sherlock stammered looking at me out of the side of his eyes...His beautiful eyes......

"Sure, whatever helps the play." I say too quickly. Andrea laughs then gets a devious look.

"Professor shouldn't Keyland dance with both boys? I think she is even more stiff with Richard..." She suggests.

Sherlock and I glared at Andrea.

"Good point...Where even is Richard?" Asked the professor.

"He said he was getting a coffee sir." Piped up Brian the small boy who was playing a gravedigger.

"Well then it's nearly class over anyways. You all are dismissed." Professor Smith sighed.

Sherlock and I walked over to the edge of the stage, and Sherlock helped me down. We went over to talk to the professor.

"Sherlock I want to teach Keyland and Richard to dance, so you will all be more comfortable the next class okay?" Chirped the Professor.

"Erm, Okay" Sherlock said halfheartedly.

"Wonderful!" The professor sang.

Sherlock and i headed off to the exit. Andrea Jogged over to us and slung an arm around my shoulders.

"You're welcome." She whispered, winking at me. I rolled my eyes. We walked out of the classroom only for Sherlock to almost bump into Richard who was carrying a tray of four coffees.

"Oi! Watch where you are going you big oaf-" Richard growled. Andrea let out a soft gasp. Richard's attention turned over to me and Andrea.

"Oh hi Keyland!" He grinned, coming over to me. "I got you all coffees!" He bubbled handing me and Andrea our lattes.

"Even one for Sherlock?! How nice!" I say pointedly smiling at Sherlock.

"Er thanks Richard." Sherlock says through clenched teeth.

"Your welcome!" Richard chirped, Smiling as he watched Sherlock drink the coffee.

"So what did I miss?" He asked.

"Erm...." I responded.

"Sherlock is going to teach you and Keyland how to dance." Andrea smirked. Richard blanched.

"And you too Andrea..." I smiled. 

"Oh, erm right!" Andrea responds to my elbow in her side.

"Yeah, we were just on our way to our dorm! Come with us!" I say cheerfully.

"Anything for you my dear." Richard hums.

"Anything for you..."
