Yanjun was in my thoughts all day.

No matter how much I tried to distract myself, it never worked. My thoughts did not leave me in peace with today's situation.

I didnt listen in class and when I went to my training in the afternoon my thoughts were still not where they should be.

That was obvious because I often forgot simple dance steps.
That never happened to me otherwise.

I tried to cover my mistakes, but of course my two dance partners noticed that.

The two have known me long enough to know if something is wrong with me.

"Shemni, are you alright? You are not at the thing today "

"Yeah, what are you thinking about all the time?"

Guiltily, I looked at the two boys and let me fall exhausted on the floor.

"I'm sorry, guys. A few crazy things happend today. "

Zeren, one of my best friends, dropped beside me while Chaoze sat down in front of me.

"Sweetie, you know that you can tell us everything", Zeren says, looking at me with a warm smile.

"Exactly and if someone has done something to you, we'll take care of it",came it from Chaoze, who made me laugh with this sentence.

My heart warmed slightly with the two boys and I carefree smiled at both. The two really always managed that I feel better.

"I know guys, that's why I love you both so much"

"And because we look good"

"And because we are smart"

"Hey, dont overdo it!"

After the short break, I finally managed to remember the complete dance steps.

The three of us often danced the dance without any mistakes before we decided to record it.

Zeren, Chaoze and I have been dreaming for years of being discovered by a dance school and receiving a scholarship.

This has always been my biggest dream and I was sure it would not change that fast.

While Zeren and I knew each other since we were little, Chaoze had joined us only a few years ago.

He was so shy and innocent that I had to be friends with him.

And I did not mean to say, but I had really caught the best dance partners of all time.

Without the two, I would have given up my dream long ago. But they always helped me to keep going.

I loved the two very much. And I really could not imagine a life without them.

"Ahhh, I'm so tired," Zeren yawned, dropping to the floor. With his sentence he had interrupted my thoughts and slightly dazed, I looked over at him.

His shirt was slightly raised so I could see a small tattoo on his ribs.

A black snake was pictured there and I was interested in the picture.

I've known Zeren for a long time but I've never seen the tattoo before. Probably he recently had it stung.

Without thinking about it, I got up and called determined: "Lets go, boys! Once again! "

And with this sentence we trained until the evening.

_____________________

It was already dark outside when I said goodbye to Zeren and Chaoze and wanted to go home.

"Take care of yourself!", Chaoze called after me and I smiled reassuringly at the two of them.

So far nothing had happened and I was sure that nothing would happen.

The streets of China were well filled even in the evening and I had never been afraid that anyone could harm me.

After a few minutes, I was standing on a main road and waited for the traffic light to turn green.

I listened to music on my cell phone and was in my little world before a person sneaked in my direction.

A known person.

Yanjun.

With a big grin he stood across the street and had his eyes fixed on me.

My heart stopped and I didnt dare to take my eyes off him.

What is he doing here? Does he want to take revenge? Why is he just looking at me?

So many questions crossed my mind that I thought I would fall over at any moment.

When the traffic light turned green I did not move. I couldnt. It was like my feet were stuck to the floor.

My heart did not calm down until Yanjun turned around with a grin and slowly walked away.

I watched him all the time, before he stopped just before a narrow lane and looked back to me again.

His grin hadnt even disappeared from his face and when he winked at me, I knew what he wanted to tell me.

"Come if you dare. We both know that you are far too afraid for that. "

And with just that, he awakened my fighting spirit and my curiosity.

As he walked slowly into the dark alley, I ran across the street and started to follow him.

I still dont know why I did that.

And I did not know what consequences this would have for me.
