You're all just freakin' amazing. I love each and everyone of you all sooooo much.
There's language and OOC in this chapter. Just a heads up, the rest of this story will be like that.
It was after school and I was getting changed before I went to the dance studio. I pulled on a pair of yoga pants and a tank top before pulling my hair into a bun on the side of my head. Once I had everything in my backpack and was about to leave I ran into my roommate Liz.
"Sup Chloe, what's happin'?" she asked before flopping back onto her bed and flipping our television on. "Have you met the new kids yet? There's a really cute blond boy but you know I can't date him because of my no blondes rule. I think it's a good rule though, I mean I don't want people to think that I'm dating my brother or anything. That would be so awkward-"
"Liz! Not that I don't want to talk to you or anything because I so do but I only have the studio for an hour tonight so I have to go," I said, getting my phone and my key off of the table by the door. When I saw her hurt face I broke and said, "When I get back we'll watch some Dawson's and have a girls' night."
She nodded happily before switching her attention back to the television. She was really easily satisfied and I think that was one of the things that I loved about her. She was such an easy roommate to have; the only thing that sucked was she liked to borrow my clothes. That was completely okay though because she always washed them and put them back where she found them.
I put my headphones into my ears and listened to He Is We as I walked to the studio. The school was set in such a pretty place with all sorts of trees and shrubs and flowers sprawled all over everywhere. I absolutely adored everything about the place even most of the kids here.
I was walking with my eyes shut and ended up running into a wall. I groaned as I braced myself for impact with the ground but it never came. I felt hands around my waist and almost had a heart attack, walls don't have hands.
I opened my eyes and met gazes with a very familiar pair of green eyes. I took a deep breath before saying, "I-I'm s-s-sorry for that. I didn't mean to run into you or anything. I should really walk with my eyes open but it's so much better not to, you know? Oh my God, why am I still talking? I am such a loser."
He smirked at me before dropping his hands and leaving me to balance on my own. Then he broke the awkward silence by saying, "You should only dream with your eyes wide open, you'll see more."
He walked away after saying this and I was left to stare after his retreating form. He was so different than anyone I'd ever met in my life. He was deep but not weird or creepy about his depth. I was falling for this green eyed boy harder than I'd ever fell for anyone before.
Once I made it to the studio just as it was getting dark outside. I put my phone onto the dock and started my song. The beat of 'ET' blared through the speakers as I started to spin and leap across the floor as I warmed up.
Suddenly the studio door flew open and Cody ran in. "I am so sorry that I'm late but Noah was being all cute and cuddly. I had to be with my boo when he wanted me, you know."
I rolled my eyes and before pulling my leg up into a heel stretch. Once I was completely warmed up Cody started the song over again and we started our dance. Once it was finished I was breathing hard and my joints were throbbing in such an amazing way. That was one of my favorite things about dancing, actually.
"That was awesome. It's good to know that my dad's money is actually going to a good cause," a voice said from the alcove next to the mirrors. "You're really good, Chloe."
"And I'm just like wall paint," Cody said before he started to guzzle his water. "Well I got to go, dearest. Noah calls."
I sighed and nodded before sitting on the floor and pulling my legs into a butterfly position. I bent forward until I felt my back pop and jumped back up.
I saw Simon still standing in the corner so I turned to address him. "What do you want? You've already watched us dance and reminded us who your father is. What do you want now, your dick sucked or something?"
I saw his cheeks turn pink and let out a little giggle. He wasn't as much of a player as I thought he was if that embarrassed him. Before I could point it out he said, "That wasn't my intention. I just wanted to tell you that you're a really good dancer. I've never saw anyone actually incorporate those two dance types and be as successful with it as you are."
I don't think he was trying to flirt with me, I think he was honestly trying to compliment me on my dancing. I smiled shyly before putting my shoes back on and taking my phone off of the dock. I slid it back into my backpack before turning back to Simon.
"Why are you here I thought you were an art student? This is the dance building," I said, gesturing to all of the dance posters and equipment that was in the room with us.
"I was coming back from a late art class and I heard the music from outside. I figured I should come in and check it out," he said. Then he smiled and walked closer to me, "I'm really glad I did. You're so hot when you're dancing."
Whatever bond that was forming between us snapped and I pushed past him. I held up my thumb and pointer finger, "And to think that you were this close to actually getting my respect. Then you had to go and talk with your dick and ruin it. Way to go and be just like I thought you were going to be."
I kept on walking until I was out in the nighttime. I kept my arms crossed to try and keep whatever heat I would make close to me. Suddenly I heard footsteps behind me and I couldn't fight the feeling that I was being followed. I realized how stupid it sounded but I turned to look and saw that I was alone.
"You realize that if I was a killer than you'd be dead by now right? You're not very good at being subtle," Jonah said, jumping out of the shadows and throwing an arm around my shoulders. "Not that you've ever been good at that or anything."
I jumped and punched him as hard as I could in the stomach. I saw that he had his guitar on his shoulders so he must have just come back from rehearsal. "You almost gave me a fucking heart attack! What the hell is wrong with you, jumping out at me in the middle of the night? Are you fucking insane?"
He rolled his eyes as we started walking back to my dorm. Once we got there I pulled him into a tight embrace before he let me go he whispered, "I'm sorry that I scared you so badly."
I sighed before letting him go and saying, "I know I overreacted. I've just been on edge a lot lately; I guess it's my period or something."
He groaned before throwing his hands up to his ears. "I may be your best friend but I really don't want to hear about your female problems. I love you and goodnight."
I laughed as I watched him walk away. I walked inside the girls' dorm and saw Liz sitting in the lounge talking to Tori. I sighed before taking my backpack off and flopping down in one of the beanbag chairs next to them.
"Remind me again why I chose to be a dance student?" I asked as I felt Liz pat my knee during a break in their conversation. "My feet and joints are completely throbbing and no longer in the good way."
"Because that's where your talents lie. You're an artist with your feet, Chloe Saunders," Liz smiled in a way that was uniquely her.
I rolled my eyes before turning to face Tori; she was playing with her curls absentmindedly. "I don't think we've formally met, I'm Chloe."
She looked up at me with a bored expression when something suddenly made her eyes light up. "You're friends with that Jonah guy, the really cute one."
I sighed; of course she was only talking to me because of Jonah. I figured I should break it to her as gently as possible, "Jonah doesn't really date that often. He's too into his music to be with many girls."
Her eyes became the size of dinner plates. "Does that mean that he's gay? That's just my luck, he's the cutest guy that I've ever saw and he's gay. That's just fucking fabulous or should I say fagulous."
I threw a hand up and said, "I don't know where you got that he was gay because he's definitely not, that I can promise you. Just because he doesn't date girls very often doesn't mean anything, maybe he's just dedicated to his work."
She let out a scoff before turning back to Liz. It was official; I already hated this bitch with a passion. She seemed like she thought she was better than everyone else and I hated people like that. I bet she thought that she could take Jonah from me but I was about to knock princess down a couple pegs.
Oh shit! I wonder why Chloe knows he's not gay? Review and if you guess correctly I'll give you a part in my next chapter. You get to be a ghostie :)
