CENTER STAGE- AMY ROLLAND- CHAPTER THREE
Charlie looked confused. "No… he didn't say anything to me. Tell me what?"
Amy sighed. "I already have a boyfriend… sorta. So… you know, he came up to ask me out… so I thought before you did, I would just tell you…"
Charlie nodded, unsure what to do next. "Oh… so you ok? I mean, you're not like completely mad at us for down there are you?"
"No, of course not. I'm just… a little stressed and all from class. You know?"
Charlie sat down next to Amy. "Yeah, totally. But… you look great in class, so maybe it's worth it."
Amy smiled. "Thanks… you look good too. Jody keeps telling me how good you are in Pas De Deux class… and I've seen you a little."
"Yeah, Jody's really good. And, you know, Jonathan keeps ragging on her for her feet and turnout, but she's still so good."
Amy nodded, getting a little bored with their conversation. "You wanna go back downstairs?"
Charlie looked a little disappointed but nodded. "Sure."
They got up and walked downstairs, taking the same seats as last time. Jody looked at Charlie and then at Amy, a little confused. They didn't seem to be together… but she wasn't sure. After a little while they all headed back to their own rooms. Jody followed Amy, Josie, and Jane, and Eva followed her as well. The girls all gathered in the dorm room and sat down on the beds.
"Amy, are you going out with Kevin?" Jody asked cautiously.
"No, I mean he asked me but-"
"Then Charlie??" Jody asked, getting louder.
"No…"
"Oh my God girl! What's wrong with you? 2 gorgeous guys asked you out today and you turn them down!" Eva shrieked.
"Well… I'm already sorta with someone… but it's new."
"Who?" Josie inquired. "It's not that Robbie guy who lives in Penn?"
"It's Ronnie, and no, it's not him. Guys, I don't wanna make a big deal out this thing, so I'm not sure if I really wanna tell you."
"Oh no! You have to! Come on! Please?! We won't tell anyone." Jane promised.
Amy looked around at her friend's anxious faces and sighed. "Oh ok, I guess I can tell you… Cooper Neilson."
"NOT FAIR!!! He's so hot! Why wouldn't you wanna make a big deal out of it? You've scored BIG-TIME!" Jody exclaimed.
Amy smiled and bit her lip. "Yeah, but… I dunno… just don't tell anyone ok?"
"Sure." They all chorused, "Ok."
Several Days Later…
Jody, Eva, Anna, Emily, Maureen, Josie, Jane, Amy, Charlie, Kevin, Sergei, and Erik all walked down the large hallway in ABA/ABC. Cooper walked towards them and all that knew turned to look at Amy. Amy smiled sweetly at Cooper and he half-smiled, before rushing off to rehearsal with Kathleen. Charlie, Kevin, Maureen, Emily, and Anna all gave her some weird looks but she ignored them and walked down the hallway dreamily.
2 Weeks Later…
Amy sat in her room, talking to Ronnie on the phone. Josie burst in the room, in tears and Amy quickly hung up.
"What's wrong??"
Josie clasped in the middle of the floor in sobs. Feeling something in her bag break when she fell on it only made her cry more. Amy sat down and hugged her friend.
"What's wrong??"
After Josie calmed down a bit she looked Amy in the eyes and bit her lip. "I'm dying!"
