I wake up to my alarm cursing at me at 6:30am. Another early morning. I force myself out of bed and across the room to the kitchen.
My flat wasn't very big. It consisted of two rooms: a bathroom and a bedroom/kitchen/lounge. But hey, it was home, and a good home at that... and all that I could afford. I would still be living at home if my parents weren't awful and soulless...
I make myself a bowl of cereal and sit on the counter. I still had the buzz from yesterday because I met The Vamps. I should of given them my Twitter user name. Too late now. I look at the clock on the microwave. Crap, turns out I've been day dreaming. I dump the bowl in the sink before heading to the bathroom to get ready for the day.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Am I late?" I ask my best friend Katelyn, who was also in my dance crew, as I run into the studio.
"Second one here actually." she says handing me my ballet shoes.
"Please don't tell me we're doing ballet today. I was so ready to do hip-hop!" I groan as I take the shoes.
"Oh come on, ballet's good. And actually, we're doing a bit of everything today."
"Why?"
"Well you know how Velvet met that guy at the shops the other week?" I nod, Velvet was another girl in the dance crew. "Turns out he is the camera guy for this band and the band is looking for some dancers for their new music video."
"What band?" I ask excitedly.
"Not sure, she didn't say." Katelyn shrugs. Kelly and Alice, the last two in our dance crew, walk into the studio. Our dance crew wasn't even really a crew, it was more like a group of five teenage dancers that are misfits in the real world. We all start stretching and prepare for the band that's coming shortly. Velvet comes running in.
"We have five minutes until they get here and- what are you all wearing?!" Velvet freaks.
"What we all usually wear, sweat pants and a shirt." Alice says.
"It won't do. I went out shopping yesterday, go put these on." Velvet throws each of us some black clothing that matches hers: leggings and a crop top that clings to all your curves.
"Fashion freak." Kelly mutters. We all get changed and I look at my figure in the mirror in the dance studio. God I hate clingy clothes, why did I have to wear them? I tie my hair up into a high pony tail before going to stretch again.
"They're here!" Velvet squeaks and I hear the familiar voices once again. I turn around to see The Vamps, Joe and Dean. Everyone but me goes over to greet them but me. I was frozen in shock, how is it possible that I meet The Vamps two days in a row? Is that even possible? Katelyn comes back over and drags me over to greet them. Connor's face lights up when he sees me and I think I died a little inside.
"Hello again!" he says giving me a hug. I swallow all my nerves and hug him back.
"Hey."
"Fancy seeing you here. So you're a dancer?" I nod.
"Hey, it's Potterhead girl!" Tristan says and I roll my eyes.
"I don't mean to be rude but we have a very tight schedule today." Joe says.
"Oh, of course. Girls." Katelyn says, she was sort of the leader of the group. The guys go and sit on the couch which was pressed against the wall and us girls prepare our different dances.
I don't think I have ever been this nervous to dance in front of anyone. Dancing in front of your idols is very nerve-wracking. But I do the simple yet elegant ballet routine then going onto the freestyle and then hip-hop routines. They clap once we have finished and I can't help but smile. Katelyn goes to talk with Joe to see if they would like us to be in their music video while Velvet talks with Dean and Kelly, Alice, Tristan, Brad and James chat. Connor comes over to me. "You were very good."
"Thank you." I smile.
"I wish I had the ability to dance like that."
"You gonna take up ballet now?" I joke and he laughs, thankfully.
"No I don't think so sorry, I'll stick to playing the bass."
"Good call." the studio doors open and another, and much larger, dance crew come walking in. "Looks like our time in this room is up." I say flatly.
"Do you guys have to book the room?" I nod.
"We only get it for so long." I sigh. Joe calls for Connor.
"Well, it looks like I need to be going. We should hang out some time, watch Harry Potter and stuff."
"Yeah, I'll give you my number." I say calmly, my insides turning to mush with excitement.
"See ya Violet."
"Bye." Connor goes off with the rest of the band and I stare after them.
"Made a new friend, I see." a familiar voice says from behind me.
"Yes I have Felix." I turn to face him. Felix was a part of the other dance crew, so technically we were supposed to be enemies. I'm not really sure what we are though. We used to go to high school together and were really good friends. We dated for a while too... before I found him making out with the school slut. Even though he was drunk at the time, I still never truly forgave him.
"That doesn't sound like the Violet I know and love. You're supposed to be the reserved shy one, remember?"
"Is there any particular reason why you are talking to me?" I ask.
"What? Am I not allowed to chat to my old friend?" he runs his fingers through his blonde hair, his arm muscles flexing as he does so. Show off. I shrug at him. "So who is your new friend?"
"That would be Connor."
"THE Connor that you always used to go on about? The one you're in love with."
"Am not." Felix rolls his eyes.
"Well I wouldn't bother chasing after him anyway. He's a celebrity."
"So?"
"You could do better. Me for example."
"Urg." I turn on my heel and start to walk off in the direction of the changing rooms.
"Oh come on, just because we are in rival dance teams doesn't mean we can't date."
"Yeah, but you cheated on me, remember that?"
"That was the old me, the high school me. I've changed."
"Look, I like someone else, okay?" I don't know how many times I've had to say that line to Felix, too many time probably.
"So you are in love with Connor! Give me a call when you wake up from your fantasy."
