It's a sunny evening. I'm at the dance studio with my friends, Jennifer, Leila and Nathalie but the sunlight began to bother me like a flashback at night. We aren't done with practice, just a little break before going over the same moves again. I love dancing, is my only way to shut the world off and forget about all the problems that get to me.
We have been here for hours, school group. I'm sweating. It's like a cascade falling over me. I catch the gaze of one of my old friends, Anastasia. We were very close friend on 8th grade but it all changed as soon as high school came to view and we went to our different paths. Now, she's the school's popular girl. I consider myself as average.
I don't hate Anastasia because before she was all I had and I was very glad. We aren't in contact with each other anymore. I guess we just fell apart. She's being trouble in school while I have been a goody two shoes. I used to have a crush on the school's bad boy, Drew. It's an unexplainable feeling. Why did I mention him? He's Anastasia's boyfriend.
Drew. He has short, dark brown hair. His beautiful white pale skin. Every time I get near him I feel an electric shock go through me. His dangerous and sparkling brown eyes when his gazing at me, it makes my heart jolt with excitement whenever I feel his presence. His perfectly muscular arms, average. His clenched jaw whenever he's tense. I want to be the girl he holds in his arms. He was seating next to Anastasia. Yes, I've fallen for a taken boy but he would never notice me so I just keep my distance.
Break was done and we have to keep practicing. I stand up from my seat and feel someone staring at me. I turn my head and see Drew gazing at me, his dangerously brown eyes now turned into a bloody red color, leaving me open mouthed. He smirks at me and I gaze back, intently. We've got called once again. I gulp and turn my gaze away from him.
I was breathless. My heartbeat slowed down like the blue icy ocean, calmed after his staring contest. I take a deep breath and walk to the dance floor. As I make my way towards, Drew has been staring at me. I exercise with the girls before continuing the dance.
"What's wrong, Kate?" Asks me Jennifer.
I shake my head. "Nothing important."
"Come on, we know you." Declares Leila.
I chuckle lightly. "That's the worst part."
"I don't like the sound of this." Admits Nathalie.
"I'll tell you guys later. Please. Not now." I murmur, begging for them to stop.
"Alright." They mumble at the same time.
It's too public for me to tell them and mostly, he's here. There's no way I could face him knowing the truth. It felt weird when he stared at me, I didn't even think he would know me but at the same time he probably doesn't. Whenever he's in my mind it's all black and red. It's telling me to neither stop nor make my way to him but something tells me I should. I should find what he's hiding.
He looks so clandestine. He's one of those guys who are very private and that just motivate me even more. Why am I the only one who feels like this towards him? Or maybe I'm not. But it's hard to find that out. He's got some strange but hypnotizing spell, that not only drives me to his dark path but at the same time, it also pulls me back.
