Next chapter! Sorry it took so long. I'm looking for a beta, someone interested? Wish you nice read! Like always I don't own anything.
I observed a strange creature who was supposed to be my partner. And in my mind I asked questions. How was one human able to eat so much chocolate in such short period of time?
I watched him for about twenty minutes and I was seriously scared. The only times when he hadn't an arrogant smirk on his face was when he swallowed tons of chocolate bars.
He noticed that I was watching him and he waved to me. Honestly, I've knew him since yesterday and I notice lot of strange things about him. He had an original and strange way of dancing. It seemed like everything was fun for him. People weren't going near him unless he called them. He looked cute with his left cheek dirty from chocolate. He had headphones in his ears all the time but he heard everything.
"Andy, listen to me while I'm talking!" I heard Collins shout at me. Adam was laughing. I felt my ears going red.
"Of course, Blakey" I said ironically.
"You're not allowed to use my name at school! And certainly not twist it!"
"Ok, DIRECTOR. What were you saying?"
"Everybody is already practicing. You and Adam should start doing it to. But you will disturb others, so take the keys, and go to the smaller gym. Do you understand?" he said everything very slowly.
"Of course, I'm not stupid!" I said taking the keys from his hand, which was warm by the way.
I was quite nervous. In turn Adam didn't seem bothered by anything at all. He was just chewing his chocolate, and listening to his music.
"Hey Andy" he said startling me "Why do you go to this school?"
"Isn't it pretty obvious?" I asked disorientated "It's because I want to dance"
"Yeah, well I figured as much. But you don't look like ballerina type."
"I just started learning ballet actually. But then I'm normally dancing anything I want to"
"That's kinda like me." He said smiling "But I did learn ballet"
"And what can you dance aside from it?" I've already seen him free styling, and he can dance ballet and ballroom dances. What can't he dance?
"Pretty much everything" he said looking up in wonder "You see, my parents are both dancers. My mom teaches ballet, and my father break dance. Back in Poland I used to dance with them a lot, some times even performing."
"So why did you came here? Couldn't you dance at your country?"
"I'm going to. But first I will become famous all over the world. I'll return to my home in glory." He said with faraway glance. Almost like he could see his great future approaching.
"That's some dream you have." I said laughing.
"It's not a dream. It's an ambition."
"Is there even a difference?" I asked puzzled.
"Of course. When you want to fulfill your dream you do that half-heartedly, always thinking you'll try later. For an ambition, you work non-stop believing it will occur" he said in philosophical manner.
It was surprisingly easy to talk to him. Maybe it won't be much harder to dance together.
We stepped on the dance floor of some classroom I've never been in. It was smaller then the big one, but not as small as other studios. It was dark. The mirror was broken in some places. The atmosphere was kinda airless. It looked like it haven't been used in years.
"What happened in here?" something ordered me to ask.
"There was an accident. I don't know the details." He said quickly. "Shall we begin?"
"What are we gonna do?" I asked.
"Dancing of course"
"I know. But what are we gonna dance? We don't have music."
"Who said that?" he said with a smirk and approached an old radio.
In that moment Collins came in.
"No fooling around Adam." Ha warned him. "You're here for practice"
"Of course" he said with a knowing smirk.
Collins switched on the radio and "Once upon a December" started playing.
"You will start with the basics" he said.
Adam bowed and extended his hand in theatrical manner "Shall we dance" he asked with his usual smirk.
I took his hand and we started dancing the basic step. It wasn't … as easy as I imagined. Collins noticed that too.
"Stop!" he shouted.
We both stopped moving.
"You both try to outshine the other" he sighted. "Listen we are practicing waltz not tango! There should be no fight for domination now. You should dance in harmony! Complete each other!"
"But…" I didn't know what to say. I wasn't TRYING to outshine Adam. It was completely instinctual.
"No complains right now. You need a lot of training. Your normal dance lessons will be in here from this moment. After lessons you will be in here as well. And I'll practice with each one separately too"
"Isn't this too much?" I asked stunned.
"No, it's definitely too little" he said in wonder "But I'll work with you until you beg for forgiveness. It must be perfect. For now Adam you can go to your classes. Ms West stays here" he said stopping my attempt to escape. "I'll be right back. Don't you dare leave this classroom."
And so he left. Adam looked at me in wonder without a smirk actually. But then he smiled deviously again.
"Hey, want to know something funny?" he asked suppressing laugher "When Blake asked me to dance with you, he said something like 'Don't you dare put your hands on her"
"He really said that?" I asked shocked.
"Well, maybe he put it in other words. Or maybe he said that because he thinks I'm a playboy, which I'm obviously not, I just like all pretty women. Either way you can do what you want with that information. I just love to embarrass him." With that said he left me alone.
When Collins came back he found me deep in wonder. I almost jumped when he turned on the music.
He approached me and took my hand. I realized we were meant to practice waltz so I postured myself. Strangely, dancing with him slowly, calmed me completely.
"Why aren't you trying to outshine me? You couldn't control yourself when you were dancing with him"
"Well, maybe we just suit each other Blakey" I said smirking.
"If you do that to my name once again, I'll give you detention" he said furrowing his eyebrows. I just had to laugh.
Please review!
