You and me

Part 9🦋

Another week of school and still no dance partner. Shit... At this point I rather just kiss my scholarship goodbye. Anyway Lake decided to join us today after forever.
After what happened I decided to act like it never happened but still I'm trying to be cold towards him just because I can. Because what he did was not cool whatsoever. However it seems like he's taking my lead and acting like it never happened.
Slightly relieved slightly hurt and slightly confused, I'd say I'm feeling.
Although things aren't perfect I'd rather see him then have him disappear on me again.
I haven't even known this guy for a semester yet he consumes most of my thoughts and there's an unknown force dragging me towards him.
He's not that ugly actually he's quite beautiful really and weirdly for some odd reason he makes me smile. Yes I know after all his bullshit but when my eyes meet his I just simply forget.
But I won't lie to you the way he acts sometimes really has me wondering. If this guy lacks common sense. It feels so easy just to get drawn into him and get hurt. I can't let that happen but I have a feeling it might. But I won't deny my feelings I just won't speak about them. You've seen the movies the comic books when the protagonist denies their feelings it only creates more issues so I rather just let the emotions my heart is curating vibe on the side just a lil.
But seriously though I will not lie to ya after what happened we kinda went back to square one. In the way it's like we're almost strangers the only lifeline between us is Kalen and Beatrice. I'd make a joke and they'd all laugh including Lake was he just being nice or did he truly find me funny. I know a weird thought but I feel as if I need to read in to these things cause at some point we're gonna have to address the elephant in the room.
Lake POV
I walk up towards his office door nervously. The mementoes of the room cascade upon my mind. Being in front of that door brings back all the pin and torment so vividly as if it only happened yesterday. A deep and eerie voice disrupted my thoughts.
"Come on in Lake"
I walked in hesitantly taking in my surroundings looking for an escape hatch.
"Please...take a seat" Mr Song said calmly
I sat down pushing my chair away from him a little as I did so.
And he saw what I just did... my bad
"I'm not scaring you am I "
" w-why did you call me here" I said softly nervous if I said it too confidently
" it's coming up to my daughter's birthday. Uno the one you killed"
I looked up sharply shocked by his choice of words. I slowly looked down and murmured to myself " I didn't kill her.."
"Hmm what was that. You didn't just say what I think you said did you"
I shook my head
He stood up slowly making his way to the front of the desk, where I was sitting.
"Anyway it's coming up to her birthday and I miss seeing her dance. After her death I was in a rage and threw all her things out so I have no footage of her beautiful dances... the way you dance and the connection you have with her is the closest thing I have to the memory of her dance."
I looked up to the side... he's not going to say what I think he's going to say...
" I want to you to participate in the nationals" He said a smirk glazing over his face.
If you don't I will have to inform the police about your involvement in my daughters death.

What. The.Actual.Fuck
How cold and demented can you get. Why me? Why does he want to see me do the thing that had brought me the most happiness yet upmost pain. It's not like I don't dance... just it for audiences. I don't want to share the vulnerability of my emotions anymore,with anyone. When I dance I must say myself, it's truly beautiful but it makes me feel translucent as if the whole world knows what I'm going through
I looked at him pain shielding my anger.
"I think I'm gonna get going"
"I expect to see you there Lake... you know the consequences"
After those last words I walked out and shut the door as quickly as possible.
I felt myself relax as soon as the door shut behind me. When did I get so tense. I walked round the corner and leaned against the wall. My breaths heavy and hard,I hit my head into the wall over and over tryna shake a solution into my head. Nothing, absolutely nothing. There was no way out. With the connections he has once I'm in his grasp I wouldn't be able to escape. I got myself together and made took myself to the only place I could express these emotions.
