Fate's Identity

Chapter 14

"Okay, Class, we are going to learn how to dance," Ms. Gomez announces. "I need Elizabeth, Jane, and their family along with Mr. Darcy and Mr. Bingley up on the stage along with the extras."

Camila and I walk to the stage, holding onto each other's arm. We line up with Liam, Zayn, Jade, Jesy, and the other students. Ms. Gomez looks around. "Okay, I need Jane and Mr. Bingley and Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy to be in the center while the others surround them."

I look at Liam, who has a smile plaster on his face. Everyone excepts Liam, Camila, Zayn, and me takes a step back. Liam and I face one another. "Get closer," Ms. Gomez instructs.

Liam and I take a step forward. "Now, this isn't like your regular homecoming dance," Ms Gomez instructs. She tells the other students to line up beside Camila and me.

We bow heads to our partner and listens to Ms. Gomez's instructions. In sync, all of us try to take a step to our partner's right, but a couple of us mixed up our left and our right like me. Gomez makes us repeat this until most of us got it. We circle around and face our partner once more.

"Okay, Camila and Zayn, you two have to stay in the center," Ms. Gomez says. "Jade and Charlie and Will and Cherry, you guys scoot close to the wall. Jesy and Tim and Ally and Liam, please move closer to audience. We should have what should be a quadrilateral with a center." Liam and I move to the left of the stage. "And this part, you guys are going to stand shoulder to shoulder and hold each other's hand. The guy should be on the left. The lady should be on the right."

Liam and I got in position, and he holds out his hand in front of me. I stare at it, feeling my hand tremble. He leans down to my ear and smiles, "I don't bite."

I let out a small chuckle and take his hand. We face the wall and waited for further instructions.

"Great," Ms. Gomez comments. "Take three steps to the wall and diverge. Now let's begin it from the top." We rehearse for a couple of minutes on the dance sequence until we got the gist of it.

Ms. Gomez claps her hands together and smiles. "Great work. There is a just a few errors I have to address. Camila, you have to be more fierce. Elizabeth is a tough girl, and I know you are tough. You just have to show it. Jade and Jesy, you two have to be less sloppy. I hope the next time you guys will improve. Tim, don't look so gloomy. Above all, everyone was good. Liam, I really like how you looked at Ally. It's really something."

"Thank you," Liam said. He looks at me, and I shake my head, blushing slightly.

"Okay, that's a wrap. We will work on dialogue on Tuesday," Ms. Gomez concludes.

Camila and I grab our bags and head out the theater building. As we walk to the car, I ask Camila, "Are you going to watch the soccer practice?"

She shrugs. "I don't know," she answers.

"Come on," I said. "Their first game is next week. Zayn's going to need some luck."

Camila creases her brows. "Do you seriously believe in that?" she asks, referring to the supporting luck.

I unlock the car. "Well, not really, but I'll do whatever I can to help the team."

"By saying team, you mean Liam," Camila said.

It was my turn to crease my brow. I open the back door and asks, "What do you mean by that?"

Camila shakes her head and smiles. "You'll find out soon enough."

I shrug and proceeded with my question. "So are you going to go to practice?"

Camila shakes her head. "No," she answers. "I have homework to do, so maybe next time."
