Cross my heart and hope to spy: how it should've happened
C&A Dance class:
I stepped into the tea room and saw the silk that the silk curtains had been pushed away from the tall windows that lined the room's far side, and a bouquet of fresh orchids sat atop the grand piano. Chairs and linen-covered tables circled the edge of the room, and Madame Dabney stood alone beneath the crystal chandelier. Our teacher floated across the gleaming parquet floor, a monogrammed handkerchief in her hands, as she said, "I have been saving this very special class for the arrival of our very special guests."
"Did you hear that?" Zach whispered. "I'm special."
"That's a matter of—" I started, but before I could finish, Madame Dabney said, "Oh, Cameron dear, would you and your friend like to demonstrate for the rest of the class?"
What I wanted to do was disappear, but before I could protest she was already pushing me into Zach's arms. "You must be Zachary Goode. Welcome to the Gallagher Academy. Now, I must ask that you place your right hand firmly in the center of Cameron's lower back." Even a highly trained pavement artist can't hide when the person they're hiding from has his arm around her waist.
I heard my friends scurrying around the room and saw Liz and Jonas manage to step on each other's feet at the same time, while Zach and I stood at the center of the room, waiting for further instructions.
"Ladies." Madame Dabney said, "You will place your right hand firmly in your partner's palm." I reluctantly did it.
"What's the matter, Gallagher Girl?" Zach said, eyeing me. "You're not actually mad about yesterday, are you?"
The music grew louder I heard my teacher say, "Now, ladies and gentlemen, we will begin with a basic box step. No, Rebecca, if you're going to dance with Grant, then you must let him lead!"
But Zach was smiling at me, and a knowing look filled his eyes. "It was a cover, Gallagher Girl. An op. Maybe you're familiar with the concept?"
But before I would say anything, Madame Dabney placed one hand on Zach and the other on me and announced, "Hold your partners tightly." She pushed us closer together, and before I knew it, we were dancing.
"I am familiar with the concept" I said finally answering his question. "And why would I be mad? Like you said it was a cover" I said forcing a smile.
Another knowing look crossed his eyes and I knew this was far from over. "Ok, well if you're not mad why are you avoiding my eyes? Am I too handsome to look at?" he said arrogantly. "Please, is that really what you think of yourself?" I let a look of disgust cross my face, "Maybe I'm not looking at you because you're too ugly to look at." I said knowing that this was a lie.
He seemed to know this too because his grin just got wider. "Ladies, watch your posture!" Madame Dabney said watching from the other side of the room. From the corner of my eye I saw Liz stand up straighter. Zach and I swirled to the rhythm of the music. "You've danced before, Gallagher Girl?" Zach asked, "Not very much" I said looking away blushing. "Now, we'll switch to the Tango" my teacher announced. My eyes widened, even a normal kid knows that the Tango is the dance of love, and yet I had to dance with him.
"Well, this should be fun" He said and I could see the seriousness in his eyes. 'Some one, kill me now!' I thought to myself as the music changed. Zach pulled me even closer to him, and started to lead. "It seems to me that you've danced before" I said, but he just kept on dancing. He twirled me and brought me back against him. "So, what other classes that are 'live and death' do we have?" Zach asked, pulling me out of my trance. I glared at him for mocking my earlier statement but he just laughed. "If you want to know so badly," I said with a sigh, "You'll have to find out by yourself" I finished, stepping on his foot and changing partners when the music came to an end.
I was now dancing with Bex and she kept asking me questions about Zach. "He's an arrogant jerk!" was what I told her. "What do you mean?" she asked raising one of her perfectly plucked eyebrows at me. I told her everything that he'd done since I met him. Before I could see her reaction the music changed, and once again I was dancing with Zach. "Been talking about me, Gallagher Girl?" He said flashing me his I-know-something-you-don't-know smile. "How can you be so sure of yourself?" I asked. He pointed at himself and said, "Spy." I rolled my eyes and kept dancing. One song later and I knew class would be over soon.
Two minutes later, Madame Dabney was calling the end of class. Zach twirled me one last time and we were dismissed. I stepped out of the class room, and got swept by passing students, even as Zach told me to wait. I smiled to myself, glad that I was a pavement artist.
So it might not be very good, but please bare with me, I'm just beginning. R&R
