Dance felt like it dragged on, although it had only been 10 minutes into the lesson. I considered dropping it entirely, as it was only an extra program anyways. My mind kept wandering and I was focused more on the scene I had witnessed not long ago.

Ashley brought me to my senses indirectly. The audience of students were clapping as Ashley danced elegantly, gliding across the practice room. She made it look so easy. It wasn't a solo dance, though she was in the spotlight right now. We hadn't been put into groups yet, so this was just Ash's normal warm up, which scared me because it truly looked like she was pulling off an amazing choreography, when in reality she was barely even trying.

Then the door opened, and the alluring girl walked in to the dance studio. She had a note in her hand, and walked over to the professor in the small room next to the mirror. I had assumed it was because she had helped the boy to the medical room and needed a note from the nurse to show that she wasn't late for class.

Then when she had come back from the room half of the class had backed away, as if she was repelling them away from her. She sighed and dropped her bag to the side, although didn't seem to care much about the students backing away. I wondered if she was used to it, or if she simply didn't care.

Raven quickly looked at me, seeing the slight fear in my eyes even though I wasn't near her, and she had dropped her head down quickly before moving to the group of people who weren't present at the fight scene.

I felt a slight pinch on my arm, and turned around to face Ashley and Mark. Mark couldn't stop staring at the raven haired girl from across the room, fear definitely evident in his eyes. Ash sighed.

"You ok?" she asked.

I raised an eyebrow, looking down at Raven's Vans because I didn't want to face her, though the force was still trying to pull us together and I wanted to see her so badly. I wanted to talk to her and I wanted to see her beautiful half-smile again, because she wasn't smiling at all right now. It wasn't a surprise to me.

Ash walked to the back of the studio, knowing that she wouldn't have gotten an answer from me.

I was urging to see Raven, a part of me didn't care that she had stood up to Chris. Honestly, he deserved it. But that wasn't what I was worried about. If Raven was able to terrify the university's most fearless student, then who knows what she's truly capable of.

But I didn't want to care, because I know she couldn't be like that. Even if I didn't know much about her. I wanted to stop myself from thinking of her as an evil demon or whatever the hell half the university thought of her as.

Once again my feet had betrayed me and I started to walk towards her, even though my mind was screaming at me to stop. As if my mind had known that she was dangerous or something along those lines. Maybe worse.

She faced me, and had stared into my eyes. There was something I couldn't see lying on her expression. Like an invisible layer of emotions that she was probably trying so hard not to show.

I sighed when the bell rang, the time had felt like it dragged on for the first few minutes until Raven walked in to the classroom, and I hadn't noticed that the lesson finished that quickly. The class left the room, however a few people remained, including Ashley. I was still facing Raven, we were alone on the left side of the studio, near the door.
