The Bad Boy Dances?

Part 4

I was woken up by my alarm blasting 5 seconds of Summer. I  groaned remembering that it was Friday. I quickly got out of bed and had a 5 minute shower. I put on my black skinny jeans and my red sweater with my tank top inside.  Today I was planning on practicing my dance moves in the gym after school. I hope no one will be in there after school. I tied my long black hair in a high pony tail and slipped on my glasses. I dont really need them but ill be still using them. I grabbed a granola bar and said goodbye to my parents.

"Hey girls", I greeted my best friends, they hugged me in return.

"Ill get going now", said Rose. "Okay see you later", Kim and I said. We watched her walk down the hall." Soooo?", Kim turned to me with wonder in her eyes. "Soooop what?", I asked.  "Oh C'mon you and Austin", she wriggled her eyebrows. I laughed and told her we were just friends. Throughout the week we had come extremely close. Its really fun being friends with him. We've helped each other in possible ways. We would go out and eat or have him over at my house to hang out. Don't think about it the wrong way because all we do is talk and play games.

"Whatever you say", she sighed. "Well I guess ill see you later then okay?". "Okay laters", I said walking down the hallway. I was shocked because somenes arm went over my shoulders, but I seemed to calm down because I knew who it was.

"Hey Austin", I said looking at him with a smile. For some reason I feel safe when his with me. I feel as if no one can hurt me when hes around. Well you see we have started becoming close and I may have developed a slight crush on him. But im not going to tell him, because I know he doesnt like me back. Why would someone as good looking like Austin like someone like me 'the nerd'?. "Hey babe", he replied. My heart started beating fast and I started to blush. 'He's just playing around' I sighed and we walked to class together.

The bell rang signaling for last period and I was super excited.  I couldnt wait till after school. That turned my smile into a frown because I saw Austin making out with some cheerleader next to the classroom. I cleared my throat loud enough for them to hear so that they would know someone s trying to get to class.

"Hey Nerd cant you see were busy here", Brielle from the cheerleading squad told me annoyed. I looked at Austin to find him standing there like nothings happening. I felt my heart dropped because he wasnt doing anything. "Im just trying to get to class", I told her with my head down. I couldnt look at Austin right now. "Well class doesnt start in another five minutes so go somewhere else", she told me with disgust in her voice. I nodded and made my way to the bathroom. I locked the stall and sank down on the floor. I began to cry and decided to skip class. I opened the door and went to the sink. I washed my face and walked out. I made my way to the gym and I guess luck was on my side because no one was here. I turned on some music while i I got changed. I took of my sweater and my tank top leaving me in only my purple sports bra. I put on tights that reached my knees and started to warm up. I started my routine and I danced to the music. It felt so good to dance. I decided to practice my signature move which was to jump in the air, do air slits, land, then do black flip then triple front flip.  I was smiling by the time I finished. 

I jumped because I heard clapping. Oh no Oh no' I started to panic. I turned off the music by the time Austin came up to me. I was still mad at him so I decided to do the silent treatment. 

"That was awesome", he told me. I just stood there looking anywhere but him. "How come you didn't tell me you could dance?", he asked. I still didnt answer.  "Oh C'mon please talk to me, but look Im sorry about earlier I just didn't know what to do". "Then why didnt you stand up for me?", I asked merely a whisper. "Im sorry", he told me. He walked towards me and hugged me. We stayed there for a while till we broke apart.  "So you want to tell me what I just witnessed earlier? ", he asked. I sat down and motioned for him to sit down next to me.

"Okay I trust you now so I'm going to tell you about my real life". He looked shocked "what do you mean?", he asked. 

"Im adopted", I blurted out. I cried when I said it. He held me close to him and I cried on his shoulder. When I felt okay I continued on my story.

"My real mum used to be a dancer, and she would teach me a feel dance moves. I started to compete in dance competions and I would always win. One night my parents and I went to one of my competitions. I won again and they were really happy for me. On our way home, we got into a car accident. I made it, but they didnt. I had sleepless nights until my new parents took me in. They cared for me and they loved me. But I still decided to carry on dancing. Its what my parents would want me to do. So here I am continuing on what I started."

By the time I finished I didnt know I was crying. Austin hugged me back and forth until I calmed down.  He stood up and held  out his hand. I took it and he broughtme up. He walked to the music player and turned on 'Thinking out Loud' by Ed Sheeran. He held out his hand and I proudly took it. We danced to the song and I never  wanted it to end. It felt so right to dance with him. He was an incredible dancer as well. By the time the song ended. We were inches apart. My heart accelerated when he leaned in. 'OMG OMG WHAT DO I DO?!!'  I didnt want to be one of his toys so I did whats best. I stepped away got my things and ran out leaving him dumbfounded.

I ran all the way to my house crying and the wind blowing through my hair. I went up to my room and took a quick shower. I got dress and I wasnt feeling any hungry so I just lay in bed. I heard the front door open and close signaling that my parents are home. I sighed and turned off my light. Sleep took over me when I closed my eyes.
