Ok so I decided that I wanted to add another chapter…..here ya go!

I woke up the next day to see a text from Shane. I didn't even really want to look at it. It was way to early in the morning for this, but I decided to open it anyway.

Mornin babe…..wanna hang 2day?

xoxoShane

I thought about it, I'm not technically mad at him anymore, like I said, I only stop talking to him for about a day when he does something that annoys me.

Sorry, can't. Got dance practice

Mitchie

O….then I guess imma c u l8r

xoxoShane

yea….sure

Mitchie

Looking at the clock, I noticed that it wasn't that early anyway, it was going on ten in the mornin. I quickly ran to the bathroom to take a shower and throw on a pair of black sweatpants with a black tank top. I brushed my hair and my teeth, grabbed my sneakers and dance bag and ran down the steps, trying to put my sneakers on at the same time.

"Why didn't anyone decide to wake me?" I asked

"We thought you'd might want to sleep in for a while" my dad said while I was trying to put my hoodie and still hold my bag.

"Sweet thought, but you guys know I like being early" I said. I grabbed a piece of toast and was ready to run out the door.

"Wait young lady, I'm driving you" my dad said, he hardly ever drove me, hence the existence of the bus.

"You don't have to daddy"

"just let me drive you for once"

"Fine, can we go?" I ask. I don't even wait for an answer, instead I head out to the car, knowing my dad was following me.

The ride was silent except for the sound of the radio. We pulled up to the studio about 20 minutes later.

"Thanks dad, I'll see you when I get home"

"Bye Mitchie"

I closed the car door and he drove off, then I turned and headed into the studio. Carlos nodded towards me and then continued to talk to I'm guessing someone's parents.

"Hey Mitch" someone said from behind me. I turned around and saw none other than Nate.

"Hey, what are you doing stalking me?"

"Haha, no, you're just everywhere I go"

"Why are you here anyway?"

"My mom wanted to talk to the dance instructor about Kayla joining the dance company. She had a blast the other day"

"Oh, yeah the company is great. I've had the priviledge of being a part of it since I was little"

"Again, you talk about dancing but I still haven't seen you dance"

"Yes you did"

"I'm not talking about teaching Mitch, you know that"

"Well I don't know then Nate"

Just then Carlos called over to me and nodded to the door. I looked up and saw that Shane was here. Okay, I know I was mad at him yesterday, but I still couldn't help but smile and run over to him and jumping onto him, wrapping my legs around his waist, I was in love with him after all.

"I'm sorry babe, I promise I'll go to school from now on" he said, holding me tightly so that I wouldn't fall.

"Do you mean it?" I asked.

"Of course I do"

"Ok then" I hopped down off of him and slapped him on the shoulder.

"Don't make me get mad at you again" he laughed.

"Okay, I promise I wont" he said. I gave him a quick kiss.

"What are you doing here?" I asked him.

"Decided I'd take you out after you got done here"

"I'd like that a lot"

"Then it's settled"

I turned and walked back to where Nate was standing, knowing that Shane was following me.

"Nate this is Shane, Shane this is Nate" I said, introducing the two. They both looked at each other before shaking hands and greeting each other.

The air just got really awkward after that, so I decided to excuse myself and walk over to where Carlos was still talking to Nate's mom.

"Ahhh, speaking of the wonderful kids classes for company members, here is my assistant and top student, Mitchie Torres. She has been dancing with us since she was about six years old" Carlos said, dragging me into the conversation.

"MITCHIE!!!!" Kayla screamed when she saw me.

"Hey Kayla" I said.

"Are you teaching today?" she asked me.

"Nope, I'm just here for practice"

"Oh"

"Mitchie here is competing in the citywide dance competion" Carlos said.

"Wow, that is something. Well thank you so much for answering my questions. It's time for us to go Kayla" Nate's mom said.

"Awww but mom can't we stay and watch Mitchie dance" Kayla begged.

"I'm not sure Mitchie would want us staring at her practice"

"Actually, I don't mind at all. I would love to get the opinion of a professional dancer besides Carlos here" I said. She looked like she was considering it.

"Ok, we'll stay" she says. Kayla cheers and drags her to a part of the studio that had chairs. I walked ocer to where it was just Nate sitting now.

"Where'd Shane go?"

"He said he had to leave and to call him when you're done"

"Figures. So what happened when I left"

"He interrogated me like a jealous boyfriend"

"That's because he is a jealous boyfriend"

"Then why do you date him"

"Nate, you can't choose who your heart wants" I say, then get up and head over to the cd's, putting in the one I wanted

My piece for the first portion of the competition was going to be a lyrical hip-hop piece. I decided to dance to goodbye by Miley Cyrus. I turned and started strecthing, very aware of the pairs of eyes that are watching me.

Carlos started the song and I rehearsed the dance, it was the most intense I'd ever danced.

I'm going to end it here, I'm very tired. R&R
