"Good afternoon class." Mrs. Wagner begins. "As you all know, Thanksgiving break starts tomorrow. I know some of you guys have to get packing to catch flights or whatever it is you have to do. I myself am planning on going back to New Jersey to visit my family. So with that being said, let's begin our practice performance for the showcase. I am also allowing your peers to give constructive criticism."

I sit nervously in my chair not wanting to be called first. Today Wagner had arranged the seats so that we were sitting next to our partners. Thank god, I didn't have to be next to Mark. His staring was becoming an everyday thing and everyday I tried my best not to give him a black eye. I was shaking my leg at full speed, something I do when I'm nervous. Justin notices and places his hand on my thigh.

"Dana, relax."

I calm down and take a deep breath. "I'm trying."

"It's just a practice." He smiles. "It's not the real thing yet."

He's right.

"First up," Wagner starts. "Brittany and Carl."

They both make they're way to the front of the classroom looking very nervous, wearing matching outfits.

"Were we suppose to match?" I whisper to Justin.

He shrugs.

As Brittany is plugging her laptop to the speaker I look around the class at everyone else. No one else matched. As I'm turning back to the front, my eyes stop on Bailey. She's swapping saliva with her partner Joseph. In class? Really? I shake my head in disgust and fully turn around.

Brittany and Carl's song was... alright. It could've been better but, who am I to judge when this was my first one?

Three more groups get by us until Wagner calls Justin and I. My heart starts to race immediately. As I'm walking to the front my ears grow hot and my knees are shaking. Justin turns from the class to plug his phone up and I turn too standing next to him. I grab the sleeve to his jacket and lean forward.

"Justin." I whisper. "I'm so nervous."

He looks at me before he turns toward the class. "Just relax babe."

It's bad enough my heart was racing and now he just called me babe. I'm pretty sure my heart was beating out of this world now. I let out a nervous laugh before we turn to the class. Just relax. I tell myself over and over again. It's just you and the music. No one else. I was so caught up in relaxing I hadn't even noticed Justin had started singing. He didn't seem nervous at all. This came natural to him. It should come natural to me too considering the fact that we both had the same dream. Justin gets to the end of the hook which means its time for me to come in. As soon as I begin to sing all of the nerves get thrown out of the window. I turn and look into Justin's eyes.

If I could just die in your arms

I wouldn't mind

'Cause every time you touch me

I just die in your arms

Oooh, it feels so right

So baby, baby, please don't stop, boy

Justin steps back a little and now it's my time to shine. Instead of singing to the class, I sing to Justin. Not only because it made me a little more comfortable, it was good for stage performance. I'm looking in his eyes singing. Giving it my all. I really want us to be the ones performing in the showcase. About another minute and a half our singing comes to a stop. We look at each other and smile before turning to Mrs. Wagner. She also has a smile on her face.
