Irresistible H.S *ON HOLD*

Chapter 22

End of January 

  Today is officially the last day of the first semester, which means open audition week for the dance company. I'm going for auditions later, obviously. I'm gonna spend my lunch period going over my routine and some barre work. I'm gonna be auditioning for contemporary, Hip hop, jazz, and Ballet. I am currently sitting in A.P English next to Harry. Today we are getting partners for a prezi presentation. The teacher is talking about how much this project will weight on our average. "Niall you're gonna be with Jane, Louis you're gonna be with Lena, and Harry you're gonna be with Aaliyah." I walk over to Harry and sit net to him, great.  

"Hey!" He gives an awkward smile. 

"Hi." I smile

"We should get started on this later." 

"No, we should start now. I won't be able to do this later."

"Why not?" I look at him

"I'm joining the dance company."

"Oh right, you dance. Why join our dance company? You could do way better. Royal ballet dance company, better."

"You don't even know if I can dance."

"I've been meaning to talk to you about something." 

"What is it?"

"I think we've met before in the past. You went to a party after you danced Clara in the nutcracker. You met Madeline cousin that night."

"Oh shit. No fucking way bitch. I should have remembered. I think I saw you again at a party when I auditioned for the Royal ballet academy and Katie invited me."

"You're right. You was completely shit faced." He looks down

"When did you remember?"

"Yesterday when I saw a pic of you, Megan, Katie, Nickolas, Noah,  Matt, and I." 

"Wait I met the whole group already before?"

"Yea. You partied the whole week with us. That was our shit face week." Harry laughs  and looks down.

"Hey are you okay?"

"Yea, I'm fine."

"No you're not. You could always talk to me."

"No, I'm fine really."

"Don't lie to me. We will meet after school at Starbucks to talk about whatever."

*The bell rings*

"I will talk to you later, yea?'

"Okay, Bye." I walk to the dance studio that right next to the auditorium. Thank God, Its empty. I walk In and change into my dance gear. I stretched for 10 minutes before I started working with my pointe shoes. I did a lot of across the floor combos just in case. Once I did my across the floor combos I practiced my solo routines. After practicing n the dance studio for a good 25 minutes I walked over to my things and I hear clapping. I turn really quick, Its a boy.

"Hi! I'm James. You must be Aaliyah the new girl. Are you joining the dance company? We need someone as good as you.

"Yea, Im going for auditions later. You have an American accent?"

"Yes. I'm from New York."

"You gotta be shitting me, so am I."

"Omg, That's amazing." I smile

"Well I gotta call my friends and see what they are doing for lunch." His face drops, fuck. He knows who my friends are.

"Oh okay, see yah later." He smiles and I walk out of the studio. fuck, I'm in a leotard and tights. I slip on sweat pants, a sweatshirt, a scarf, and uggs. I quickly called Harry to see what the group is up to.
