Ayyoooo!

I'm glad you like the story so far, I'm actually proud of how the ending is gonna turn out.

Anyway, enough rambling, here's chapter 7!

"Anthony!" Anthony's head snapped up as he heard an oh-so-familiar voice calling his name. He saw Ian in the distance, but Ian didn't see him. "Anthony!"

"I-Ian?" Ian's head snapped toward him as he caught sight of him.

"Anthony! Thank god I found you. We…" he sighed, visibly deflating. "We need to talk."

-LOCATION CHANGE-

Saturday.

Six days after that day with Matt in the park.

Which meant…

Mari sighed and buried her head in her hands as she realized she would have to tell him tomorrow.

Of course, she didn't have to.

She could just… not.

But then she would have to live with the guilt and the angst forever. But, what if it ruined their friendship?

But then her heart fluttered at the small chance he likes her back.

Mari was pretty sure he liked her; he was the one who asked her out the first time. But she wasn't sure if he would dump Courtney to date her.

Mari shook her head and walked out of the dorm. She had something to do.

-TIME SKIP-

Mari put her bag down on the floor of the studio, tying her hair back into a bun. She hadn't danced in years; she was always so busy. But she had to clear her head, and this was the only way she knew how.

She turned on the music, the slightly upbeat classical music she loved.

She started easy; a few basic moves she remembered from her childhood dance classes.

As she went on and as the music got more intense, she moved onto the harder stuff.

Within five minutes, she was dancing around the room, getting all of her emotions out in that one dance routine.

She didn't think, she didn't dwell on her problems, she just danced.

And she loved it.

When her timer went off after an hour signaling the end of her session, she knew what to do.

And she knew how she was gonna do it.

That's it! :D

Firstly, I am so so sorry I can't get these out sooner!

I know you guys really like this story, it's just hard with my schedule nowadays.

I'm trying my best, I hope you understand that.

And I'm also sorry these are super short, I'm having a bit of trouble recently with inspiration.

But, I have good news!

After this story is done (which should probably be soon; I'm only going to 10 chapters) I will be starting a BRAND SPANKIN' NEW STORY!

It's gonna be another AU, because I find those easier to write, and it's not gonna be an education AU (thank god amirite)!

The AU is a surprise, but it will be great!

Alright, that's enough of me talking, have a nice day ((or night lmao))!
