Preface
With my bag slung across my body, I watched the kids in the parking lot of an abandoned warehouse, dancing to their heart's content. The Dubstep blasted through the speakers of someone's car, the bass loud and deep enough for the beat to be felt in your chest. I got closer, watching with interest as I studied how they moved... I had been to a lot of places, watching the different style of dance and participating myself, but not one place felt like home so I kept moving. I had made and left friends behind on my journey, but I will never have forgotten what I saw and what I experienced. I bumped into a girl with short, icy white/blonde hair that just brushed the tops of her shoulders and had wispy bangs over her forehead, and light blue eyes just like me.
I apologized quickly, "I'm so sorry!"
She turned and shook her head, "You're fine." I smiled and she tilted her head to the side, "You're new here, aren't ya, George?"
I nodded, "Yeah."
She held out her small hand with nails painted a deep, royal blue, "I'm Terri."
I shook her hand, "Lennox."
She smiled, "Nice to meet ya, Georgie."
I blinked a couple times, "Georgie?"
She smiled and shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly, "I call everyone George."
I smiled and nodded my head, "Alright..." We both turned back to watch two people dance battle each other and I pointed at the guy in the grey hat with white lettering, "Who's that?"
Terri smiled, "You really are new... That's Daniel Alvie, he the best dancer that Forks High has seen in a long time. He's a senior... and he's undefeated."
I smirked and set my bag down next to Terri's feet, "Until today..."
"Huh?" Terri turned towards me as I was tightening my sweatpants around my waist. I had taken off my jacket and was tying my long hair up into a ponytail as she spoke, "You're not serious, George!"
I gave her a look, "Do I look like I'm joking?" I noticed an orange truck roll up and a bunch of tan skinned guys jump out of the back before it had even stopped, "Who are they?"
Terri looked, "La Push natives, they come down here to watch us dance and criticize, but they're pretty good themselves at dancing. So, their not all talk, and don't be surprised if one of them jumps in to save your ass."
I scoffed at Terri, "You haven't even seen me dance!"
"I'm just saying, if you're not as good as you think, don't be surprised if one of them jumps in."
I handed Terri my jacket and got a running start before doing a round off back handspring and landing in the splits in front of Daniel. I got back up on my own two feet as I heard the crowd 'oh' and Daniel nodded and act like he was somewhat impressed. Soon after, Daniel started to advance on me with his response and I back up in a shuffling motion until I could feel the hood of a vehicle. Once I had a good grip, I lifted myself up on my hands and spun around on my hands until my body was facing downwards and was only being held up by my hands and arms. Without letting him finish, I flipped off the hood and already started with my comeback when it started to rain in sheets. I didn't mind and continued to dance, jumping up and twisting in the air in front of Daniel and landing on my knees in front of him.
Daniel looked pissed and I had a shit eating grin on my face as I spoke, "That all you got pretty boy?"
Daniel was about to start dancing, but the music stopped all of a sudden and someone shouted, "It's Chief Swan! Cops!"
Everyone was scrambling to get back to their cars and Daniel grabbed my arm as I got up and spoke, "This isn't over Princess Tutu..."
He ran off and I ran back to where Terri was and she yelled over the commotion, "Come on! We've gotta go, George!"
I grabbed my bag and tried to put my jacket back on as I ran after Terri, bumping into people left and right.
I lost her and I stood there as I shouted and looked for her, "Terri!"
"Lennox!" I heard her shout. I saw her and ran towards her, but a look of horror crossed her face as she shouted, "Lennox, look out!"
I could see white lights to my left and gasped as I heard breaks squeal and covered my face, bracing myself for the impact.
