The Ballroom Dancers

PART FOUR

"Hey! My name's Amara and this is Michelle, Trista, and Heather. She's Ami, Rei, Lita, and I'm sure you know Mina. After all, she is the welcoming committee. Where did you used to live?", asked Amara, a tall blonde-haired gray-eyed, who, if you didn't look at carefully, would probably mistaken for a boy. Michelle was very pretty, with sholder-length aqua-green hair and blue eyes. Trista had knee-length dark green hair and redish-black eyes. Heather had stormy gray eyes and jet black hair, which fell at shoulder-length. Ami had dark blue hair cut above her shoulders and light blue eyes. Rei had raven black hair down her back and violet eyes. Lita had green eyes and auburn hair half way down her back. Then they all decided to eat dinner up in the bedroom.
Once they had settled themselves on the floor, they began discussing where they used to live and how they ended up at Keri's school. Amara and Heather turned out to be two of Keri's seven adopted children, all from Northern Korea. Michelle was four when Keri had seen her at a macerana dance contest in France. Trista was found in New Orleans when her third grade music teacher had called Keri when she danced to Mozart, ever though she didn't know a step at the time. Rei lived in San Francisco and her mom needed her to enroll in a boarding school. Rei, who loved to dance, chose this one. Lita and Ami were next door neighbors and lived a few blocks over from here. Mina had lived in Australia and signed up for it through her school.
"Who are your partners for the dance compitions and practice times?", Rini asked, and giggled when quite a few of them blushed.
"When we have the single-dance couple compititon, we're paired off with whoever is on our level of dance skills. Here's our school picture, taken one year ago. See that cute blonde? He's my partner", Mina said, "and this one here left but then came back...", she went on.
"Sorry you had to put up with the guy's tales of how they got here, anyway, Rei goes with Patrick, Lita with Nick, Mina and Matt. Kyle's with Ami, Heather and Codey, David's with Trista, I'm paired with Victor, and Michelle's with Brandon. Much to her distaste. You see, they have been enemies since fifth grade and deep down, I know, that they like each other. But, of course, neither of them with ever admit it.", Amara said.
"That's not true! And you know it!", Michelle said, over hearing what Amara had said to me.
"Sorry, sorry. Don't blow a gasket over it. Chill!!", Amara said, holding her hands up in mock surrender. Everyone laughed at the scene.

Sorry, my mind is tired. Look for Chapter 5.
