***TRANSLATIONS IN COMMENTS OF PARAGRAPH OR IN TEXT*** Ariel Jiménez is the best dancer in his class. His teachers always compliment him, and his parents always praise him. So, when his school mentions a famous dancer will be dancing with one of their students, he does his best to be chosen. But the man that arrives, also happens to be the man he cussed out, three days prior. The smirk on the man's face says it all. Nathaniel Azevedo is going to be one pain in the ass. ~ Ariel Jiménez is in the middle of 9 siblings. He lives on a farm and his family gets by with just enough. His dream of being a dancer seemed like it would never happen until a scout arrived at his local dance class. She was amazed by his abilities and offered for him to go to a dance academy in the city. Offering to pay for everything. To which he happily accepted. His family was incredibly happy and extremely supportive. Some looked down on him for his background, but he proved himself. He's always struggled for stability and attention. Dance was the only thing he excelled at, the one thing he felt unique in. Nathaniel Azevedo had everything given to him. When he told his mother of his love for dance, she encouraged him to be the best. Working him for hours upon hours with a private teacher until he became the most well-known dancer in the dance world. Even taking modeling jobs. Soon dancing no longer felt like a fun activity to pursue. It felt like a duty and always a competition. He took the opportunity to work at an academy to teach a few students, hoping maybe, he can get that dancing spark back. Cover by @raspberryminnie #6 → rivalstolovers
