A/N: so the gif has nothing to do with the story....but I found it on tumblr and I had to show it to someone.

{Sage's POV}

It's been three weeks. I haven't heard from Luke in three weeks. Those three weeks consisted of ballet, spending a few days with friends, lots of Guns N' Roses, and more ballet.

Poppy said that when she went to they Boys' gig last week that Luke seemed a little off. I don't think it was because of me because honestly I knew him for two weeks and he ran off before even trying to let me explain.

It was Sunday afternoon and I was playing board games with Poppy, Matty, Josh, and a few other kids I didn't really know but they seemed nice. One of the boys sitting with us, Logan, asked me out last week. I kindly said no to him and he respected my answer. Our game was kind of boring so we started talking about next week.

"I haven't seem my mum in like forever! I can't believe she is coming tomorrow!" Josh exclaims beside me. Everyone nods their head in agreement excited to see our families.

"I'm more excited to meet Sage's brother." Matty says from across the table. I shoot him a glare and he just shrugs. "I saw that picture of him in your room. Your brother is hot Sage, I think it's genetic." He laughs and everyone joins in.

"Oh shut up! He has a girlfriend anyway Matty and I'm like 95 percent sure he is going to propose to her soon." I truthfully say. Ricky and his girlfriend have been dating for what seems like forever. I've only met her a few times but she seemed pretty cool.

"A boy can dream can't he?" Matty rhetorically asks. We all just laugh at him. A few weeks ago Matty and his boyfriend had a falling out and even though he was devastated, Matty has slowly gotten over it.

We cleaned up the game before heading off to bed. We had a big day ahead of us tomorrow.

I woke up to the feeling of water being poured on me. I gasped before sitting up abruptly hearing deep chuckles from the side. I look over and spot blue eyes. I squealed before jumping up out of bed.

"Ricky!" I exclaimed. I tried to hug him but he just kept backing up. "Your the one who poured water on me. And I am expecting a hug so get in here." He slowly walks to me and hugs me loosely trying not to wet his clothes.

"Sagie you've gotten buff look at those arm muscles!" He jokes squeezing my bicep. "Have you been switching places in partner class?" He asks laghing. I shake my head before reaching up to pat his cheek.

"What is this? A beard? How on Earth is mother okay with this?" I laugh and he joins in. "Well, I must be getting ready. I'll see you soon okay?" He nods before leaving my room. I get dressed and put my hair up. I hairspray my bun and head out the door.

We are all standing outside one of the the larger studios. Our families are patiently waiting inside for us. Mrs. Hood was giving us a quick talk before we went and performed.

"You families and friends are here to see you have fun. This is supposed to show them you skills so don't over so it. Okay good luck everyone." She clapped her hands together before opening the door. We all walk in and take our spots for the first number.

I quickly spot my mother, dad, and Ricky sitting over to the left. I give them a large smile and they all wave. The music starts and my focus shifts. I focus on finding a spot and occasionally looking at Matty. Making eye contact with your partner is a big part of Pas de Duex.

The song ends and all of the observers applaud. We bow and scurry off to find the ones who came to visit us. Poppy says she'll bring the boys over to see my family in a few minutes. I walk up to my dad first. Giving him a tight hug and feeling him kiss the top of my head.
