"Good. Now, next gym period, report to Mr. Staccato for advance learning alright? He'll meet you in Gym D. Now, go get your things and go home. School's over."
"Yea ok. Bye Ms. Forté!" Sora said as she went to pick up her bag and leave.
"See ya." Matt said to the teacher as he too went to get his bag.
---------------------------------------
The next day was a Friday, Sora and Matt still had their practices in the room above the gym. Mr. Staccato taught at a more faster rate than Ms. Forte. But since Matt and Sora were fast learners, this wasn't a problem. The only problem they faced was working together. Neither one could stand the other!
Sora and Matt had come to the room above the gym. Knocking on it once to see if the teacher was there, there was no answer. So Sora, opened the door and peeked inside.
"Hello? Anyone here?" Sora asked as she stuck her head inside looking around. Finding nothing, Sora sighed and opened the door completely. There wasn't any light in the room. It was hardly lit by the sun. Being too lazy to look for the light switch, Sora walked over to what she believed to be a couch and slouched down in it. Finding that relaxing spot, Sora closed her eyes and sighed. Matt walked in and found the light switch. Flicking it on, He noticed that Sora had squinted her eyes. He laughed.
"What so funny?" Sora asked slightly irritated that he had turned on the light switch.
"Ahh nothing... just your face." he teased.
Finally getting adapted to the light, Sora opened her eyes and glared at him. Matt gave he the same expression and sat down on the couch on the opposite side of the room. (lol... they still can't stand each other! ^______^)
For the first time since their meeting, Matt and Sora finally got a good look at each other, besides all the arguing and glaring.
*She's.... pretty.... I guess...* Matt thought even though it was lie. He knew she was beautiful. His mind knew she was beautiful to him BUT Matt would never come to the point that he would admit this at the rate they were going. He stared at Sora, just looking at her features. A strand of red hair cascaded over her bright red eyes. Her short hair reached just above her shoulders, and curled outward. Her eyes, filled with emotion. Her body was slim but showed a healthy and athletic feature to them which surprised Matt. Most of the girls in this school were usually VERY SLIM and were cheerleaders that love to talk and gossip. Very few were like Sora. But Sora was the only one that enchanted him. *What am I thinking!? Matt! Stop!!!!* He yelled inside to himself. Matt then tried to get his mind off her but failed miserably.
Sora was in complete boredom. She looked around the room in hope to find something amusing but found none. She then turned her face to Matt. She hadn't even noticed Matt was staring at her. She just thought he was looking through her. So she pretended to do the same. Sora actually got a really good look at his face. *He's not as BAD LOOKING as I thought he was..* Sora said to herself. *Wait a minute, why am I saying this!?!?! Matt is my adversary! What am I thinking!? We both have differences and think differently. And plus, we're kinda at war... well... even though it's pretty fun to argue with him. Matt doesn't feel the same way. Wait, I DON'T EVEN FEEL THAT WAY! SHEEESH! Common Sora, get him out of your mind!* She yelled. Her attention was then turned to his face. A bunch on his golden blond hair was looped over his right side spiked up as a few straight strands stuck along side his right cheek. Besides that, he had long hair that went right along the jawbone and was all spiky. It gave him a sort of rebel l
ook which Sora thought was pretty cool. Most guys she knew would usually have their hair slicked back as if they were some sort of high society people or others would have it and it made them look completely weird in her opinion. Matt's body was tall and lean. Yet she could tell there were some muscles in his arms and legs since that night at Club Wasabi. You needed a lot of upper body strength if you were able to do the spinning turtle. And his was probably a good runner as well if he could get away from all his girl fans so easily. Sora mused over this. *I guess Mimi was right... 'cept maybe for being completely friendly and nice and stuff. He teases me so much! God... well... that's 'cause I tease him too. Oh well...* Sora then got bored once again. Then an idea hit her. "Hey Matt, in for a game?"
Matt snapped out of his thoughts and glared at her. Lifting one of his eyebrows, he asked, "What kind of game?"
"Oh... nothing... just some skillz game..." she teased.
"Oh? What is it?"
"Staring contest"
"Wha?" Matt laughed. "You're kidding right?"
"Nope. Common, ya chicken or what?" Sora asked teasingly.
"I'm not... common!" He exclaimed. Both Matt and Sora closed their eyes and counted...
"1... 2... 3!" They both opened their eyes. Neither one was allowed to blink or the person would loose. 30 seconds had past and Sora's eyes began to water. Matt's were on the verge of tears as well. 45 seconds past. Neither one wanted to give in and called their opponent the winner. 50 seconds past. No blinking. Sora was about to give in and blink but suddenly the door opened.
Mr. Staccato entered the room. "Ahh.... it's good to see my students here nice and early. Sorry I'm late I - -" The teacher paused when he saw Sora and Matt on opposite couches on the verge of tears. "What has been going here?" he asked.
Sora wiped her eyes. "Nothing... Just a game."
"Oh? What kind of game?" He asked slightly curious.
"Staring contest." Matt filled in.
"Ahh... ok now, let's get going." The teacher exclaimed. He went to his desk and put down his things. Then opened the door that was behind the couch Sora was on. Opening the door, the teacher looked back. "Now, follow."
Sora got up and followed the teacher as they entered a completely different room. Matt brought up the rear and came in to be astonished. They entered a fairly large room. It looked like it was some sort of party room with a big waxed dancing floor.
"Whoa.. they've had this here and we didn't know about it!?" Matt exclaimed.
"Yup. Secretive teachers now aren't we?" Mr. Staccato laughed.
"Yea...." Matt hushed.
"Anyway, this room is for teacher banquets but since you two have been chosen to go to the sunset hotel, we might as well let you learn here." He said as he turned on the lights. "Alright, let's get started You two are....?"
"Sora."
"Matt."
The teacher smiled. "Ok Sora, I will be teaching you first ok?" The teacher said smiling. Mr. Staccato was a fairly tall man with long auburn colored hair that was a little bit longer than Sora's. The teacher tied his hair back in a ponytail. He looked probably in his mid 20's or early 30's. Mr. Staccato was wearing ironed cotton business pants and a white shirt blouse (or whatever it's called) and a black vest.
Sora nodded and walked on the dance floor.
"Now, Sora, just follow me and Matt, you watch. You'll be doing this next." He smiled and the lesson began.
Sora had no idea what steps Mr. Staccato was teaching her but it was easy. That's all she really knew. It was as if dancing was her specialty even though in reality, it wasn't. It's just that Sora was really good with her feet. (er.. yea... eheh... hehe... ^^; *sweat drops* Don't mind me!) In a matter of seconds, Sora was then switched to dancing with Matt.
"Ok now Matt, follow the basics and the go with the flow. I want to try something different with you two." He stated as Matt watched his movements. After a couple of steps the teacher then stopped showing the basics and backed off. Sora and Matt repeated the steps over and over. Then as if their bodies took over, they skidded and danced across the room and ended up going around in a circle. Sora and Matt had no idea what the heck they were doing but they went with the flow. Which was actually pretty good for 'amateurs' lol. Sora began to feel lightheaded and dizzy while she was dancing. Matt was going through similar emotions. He then used his right hand and spun Sora out and then spun her back into his arms as they followed in similar beats. Finally snapping back to reality The two slowed down due to dizziness.
"Excellent!!" The teacher exclaimed. "When Ms. Forte said you were pretty good, I didn't know she meant you were excellent! Where did you guys learn these steps?" He asked amazedly.
"Um... actually I've never had lessons before." Sora admitted.
"Neither have I." Matt added in.
The teacher looked at the surprised. "Oh come come now... Don't be embarrassed. Tell me, where?" He asked again not believing what he had just heard.
"Really, I've never had a dance lesson in my life." Sora admitted.
"Ditto here. The only kind of dancing I've ever did was breakdancing." Matt laughed.
"Well... then I must say, you guys are very good amateurs at this!" He smiled. "Now, that's all for now." Since in a week, dance classes during gym will be over, you two will have to be coming to my office everyday in the morning. "Alright?"
"What??? Nooo!! I want my sleep!" Matt exclaimed.
"Yea... what time?" Sora asked.
"6:30." Mr. Staccato stated simply.
"What!? No way! I don't even wake up that early." Matt exclaimed.
"Well you have to get here early. Plus, this will be good for your college resume. It gives you extra credit. A LOT..."
"I see..." Sora stated slowly. "Well I guess I'll see you early in a week than Mr. Staccato... with or WITHOUT Matt..." She stated as she glared at Matt. Sora then walked out the door.
"Yea... I'll be here. But don't blame me if I didn't warn you. We fight a lot..." Matt said as he picked up his bag. "See ya Mr. S." he said as he left the room.
Mr. Staccato laughed. "Well... I guess Ms. Forte was right about one thing, they sure do make a really cute pair." The teacher laughed again. "REAL CUTE."
------------------------
That's all for now... it's short.. I know I know... but like I said before, I'm going through a major's writer's block! probably one of my first in a while! That's why I didn't have much to do with the other one either. Had a hard time to figure out what is going to happen next! Well I'll keep trying to come up with better ideas for this fic. If anyone has suggestions, tell me!!!! ^-^; *sweat drops*
Hasta la bye bye! hehe peace!
