*Demi's POV*

I watched Paitynn as she did each flip perfectly. Landing and doing another one. It kind of looks like Gymnastics is where she can lose herself from the world. I like it. She had stopped when someone opened the door. I kept my eyes on Paitynn wishing she would continue the flips. She saw who it was before doing a flip once more than coming over to get a drink.

"Demi!" She said snapping me out of my thoughts.

"What?" I said.

"Did you hear me?" She questioned

"No. What did you say?" I asked

"I said, I hurt my ankle." She said.

"Will you be okay? We can leave."

'No because I have dance class after this.' She said and smiled then ran off.

*1 hour later*

She was done with Gymnastics and we jumped in the car.

"I have dance class, in case I didn't tell you," Pay said

"You did. Where is it?" I asked. She gave me directions and soon enough we were there. We hopped out and walked it.

"Right on time Lovato." The girl at the front desk said.

'Go stretch.' She ordered and Pay grabbed my hand leading me to where I was supposed to sit. It was a small room with a one-way mirror so we could watch and they could watch their steps. It had small furniture and no decorations whatsoever. I sat down and got my phone.

'Should I tell my fans about Pay. I don't know because they might freak and start hating on Pay. And I can tell she already doesn't have friends.' I thought to myself. I decided I should tell. But how? I mean. I have to be gentle about it. But I don't know how. Maybe I should say in person. Live chat maybe. I'll tweet about the live chat.

'Hey guys! I have some news that I will be announcing in about an hour on a live chat. Tune in!' I tweeted.

That sounds good, right? I locked my phone and started watching Pay.

"Hi! My name is Jackie. Do you have a new kid here?" She asked.

"Oh no. I'm here with Paitynn." I said and smiled.

"Oh. She usually comes alone so I thought you were new.' She said and laughed. I laughed fakely and assured her it was okay. I continued to watch Pay stretch for a couple minutes before she popped up off the ground. The teacher walked in and everyone stood.

"Did you guys stretch?" She asked and everyone nodded. "Okay. Guys. Start with the dance we were learning last week." The teacher instructed and she sat down watching their moves. They all got to the side as one by one ran into the middle doing some kind of move. Pay did an aerial landing on her butt. She was the last one who ran out so they all stood up and continued to dance.

"Lovato, watch your feet on your turn." The teacher yelled, sounding slightly annoyed.

"Does she ever call them by their first names," I asked and they all shook their heads no then smiled. "Oh," I mumbled under my breath.

I watched as Pay danced with every step perfect. But the teacher seemed not to feel the same way. She kept continuously correcting Pay on stupid things that she did perfectly. Pay did a few spins, then a backflip to end the dance routine.
