Sami sat against the wall in Dance Studio B, texting. She looked up just as Moose landed neatly out of multiple pirouettes. He was practicing for his Ballet IIII class, and Sami was waiting patiently so that they could continue to run lines. She looked back down at her phone as it vibrated, indicating that she had a new text.
Moose still nt givn u attntn?- Missy.
Sami sighed, before quickly replying to the text.
I get lots of attntn…no lovn, tho. At lst…not the knd u wudnt gve to a frnd, Sami texted back. Moose still hadn't kissed her. It was one of those things that probably shouldn't have been a big deal, but it was to her. She just couldn't understand why they couldn't take their relationship…onto a relationship level.
Wnt sum advce?- Missy.
Sami rolled her eyes, and texted back.
Duh.
Sami continued to watch Moose. He was actually pretty graceful. He wasn't, like, the most poise, but he was definitely light on his feet. Sami smiled as Moose leaped into the air. It was so funny to see her boyfriend, the hip hop freestyle master, perform one of the most…feminine wasn't the right word, but would have work for now… styles of dance.
Sami's phone vibrated, and she immediately opened the text.
Mke the frst mve- Missy.
Sami narrowed her eyes down at her cellphone screen. Make the first move? Sami couldn't even bust a move a month ago, and Missy was suggesting that she 'bust it' on the guy who taught her how.
"Okay, ready to run lines?"
Sami's head shot up in response to hearing Moose's voice. He wore gray sweat pants, a wife beater, and he had a white towel drape around his neck. His chose rose and deflated heavily from having moved so much, and his hair was matted with sweat. His biceps and adorable face were glistening with sweat, and Sami had to blink about ten times just to pull herself together.
"Uhm, yeah" She breathed quickly. She could feel her face heating up, but she quickly covered it up by fanning herself, "Is it hot in here?"
Moose nodded and walked over to the currently cleared table. Sami hadn't set up her laptop and other equipment yet. His water bottle and copy of the script were there. Sami closed her phone placing it in the oversized pocket of her sweats before joining him.
Moose took a swig of his water as Sami hopped up on to the table facing him. She had her script in hand and began to turn to the page where they had left off. When she looked up Moose was staring right at her. He leaned forward resting his arms on either side of her.
Instead of blushing, Sami wrinkled her nose, "Ew. You're all sweaty" She laughed. She put her script down and picked up one of Moose's sweated out curls.
Moose laughed, "Don't pretend like it isn't the sexiest thing in the world"
Sami rolled her eyes, but only because she didn't want to admit that it really was the sexiest thing in the world. She pulled the hand towel from around his neck and began wiping some of the sweat off of his face. Moose laughed and took the towel from her, and finished the job.
"Anyways…if we're done talking about how gross I am…we shall rehearse…" Moose laughed. He picked up script which was already on the correct page. He looked up at Sami and nodded for her to go.
"If then true lovers have been ever cross'd, it stands as an edict in destiny: then let us teach our trial patience," Sami recited, "Because it is a customary cross, as due to love as thoughts and dreams and sighs, wishes and tears, poor fancy's followers."
Moose looked Sami in the eyes as he recited anxiously, "A good persuasion: therefore, hear me, Hermia." Moose continue, "I have a widow aunt, a dowager of great revenue, and she hath no child: from Athens is her house remote seven leagues; and she respects me as her only son."
Had he been practicing? The lines were perfect. Almost as if he'd been up all night studying them.
Sami nearly fell over as Moose looked her deeply in the eyes and said, "There, gentle Hermia, may I marry thee;" He took both of her hands and intertwined their fingers.
Moose grinned, but stayed in character, as Sami blushed. She looked down shyly for a split second, but eventually met his gaze again.
They both had to drop their scripts, but neither of them needed them, "And to that place the sharp Athenian law cannot pursue us. If thou lovest me then, steal forth thy father's house to-morrow night; and in the wood, a league without the town, where I did meet thee once with Helena, to do observance to a morn of May, there will I stay for thee."
That was it. Moose was, without a doubt, the most amazing person Sami had ever met. It was amazing how passionate one person could be, and it wasn't even about what he loved to do the most. Sami knew what she wanted to do.
"My good Lysander!" Sami smiled, "I swear to thee, by Cupid's strongest bow,
By his best arrow with the golden head, by the simplicity of Venus' doves, by that which knitteth souls and prospers loves," Sami recited, "And by that fire which burn'd the Carthage queen,
When the false Troyan under sail was seen, By all the vows that ever men have broke," Sami brought Moose's hands up to her chest and rested her own hands where heart was, Moose's hands intertwined with hers, "In number more than ever women spoke,
In that same place thou hast appointed me," Sami let go of one of his hands, keeping the other one still intact with his', and brought it up to his cheek. She leaned in closely so that their noses were practically touching, and all was quiet as she breathed her last line, "To-morrow truly will I meet with thee."
Warmth flowed through Sami's body as she felt Moose's lips meet her's. He kissed her softly and slowly started to pull away. Sami quickly reconnected their mouths before he tried to start his next line. Moose, shocked, kissed her back slowly.
His free hand quickly made its way up behind her neck, and he tangled his fingers loosely in her hair as their mouths worked softly against each other. Moose felt electric shockwaves course through his body as he kissed Sami as carefully as he could.
Sami bit her lower lip as Moose gently pulled away, but smiled. She thoroughly enjoyed the feeling that was running through her veins. Her stomach was doing flip flops, her heart was running a marathon, and her mind was all fuzzy. It was the most enjoyed feeling ever.
Their noses brushed slightly against each other and Sami could feel the pull between them. She leaned in-
"What are you two doing?"
Moose quickly turned around, startled, shocked, and embarrassed. Sami fell forward and off of the table. She had completely missed her target.
Oof! She landed in someone's arms. She looked up at Monster, who had caught her before she did a face plant into the dance studio floor. She blushed and quickly got to her feet.
"Thanks" She muttered uncomfortably.
Monster grinned at her, and Sami shifted away from him. She leaned into Moose's side. Her face was on fire. She was embarrassed, uncomfortable, and mad that Monster had interrupted the only intimate moment that she and Moose had shared since they started dating. She wanted to kick him.
"Did I uhm, interrupt something?" Monster asked. He looked at Moose for a split second, but then his attention redirected at Sami. She cringed, but felt better as soon as Moose draped his arm around her shoulder and pulled her close.
"Uhm," Moose began awkward, "No…man…no…I was uhm, just helping Sami run lines…" Moose explained.
Monster took in their awkward, blushing faces, and wanted to punch Moose in the face, but he kept his cool. He kept his eyes on Sami and said, "Moose…Andie said that she needs the kneepads that she left in your locker this morning…"
Moose nodded and unwrapped his arm from around Sami's shoulder. Sami's eyes widened slightly and she grabbed Moose's hand subtly and squeezed it. He looked down at her anxious expression and smiled. He leaned down and whispered softly, "I'll be right back…don't freak..." Moose chuckled quietly before he let go of Sami's hand, and left the dance studio.
As soon as the door closed behind him Sami felt colder. The feeling in the room was very…unsettling. She looked at Monster who was, 'surprise-surprise', looking back at her.
Sami slowly turned her back to him. She drew in a huge breath and let out a slow sigh as she picked up both scripts from off of the table. She didn't like how weird she felt around Monster. He made her uncomfortable. Especially since she could feel his eyes burning a huge hole in the back of her head.
"So…"
Monster's voice cut through the tension filled silence, and nearly made Sami jump out of her skin.
"Running lines for Midsummer?" Monster asked carefully. Sami could feel him watching her and she made a point not to turn around. She start shuffling the scripts nervously.
"Uh…yeah…" Sami replied. She began flipping through Moose's script which had all of his lines highlighted. Moose…so close they were to having an amazing moment…a moment that could've changed their relationship, but Monster….
"I'm auditioning for that too" Monster commented. Sami could hear the strain in his voice. It was obvious that he was desperately trying to make conversation.
"Yeah?" Sami replied, she tried to sound as interested yet, not interested as possible. She didn't want to be rude, because he was her friend, but another part of her could've cared less. He was freaking her out and she wasn't sure that him auditioning (meaning they'd be seeing each other a lot more) was the greatest thing in the world.
"Yeah" Suddenly, Monster's voice a bit closer, "I figure…it's my Senior year…might as well actually audition for a role. I'm always the stunt devil…but…I figure why not just go for it…"
"Yeah, that's cool…" Sami breathed, "I mean…I'm sure I won't get a lead or anything…considering I'm just a sophomore…but…I-I figure…why not?"
Sami didn't hear anything after that. A few moments went by and the silence that crowded the room was becoming more awkward and uncomfortable by the second. She wondered if he was even in the room anymore. She slowly turned around only to practically bump into him. He was standing no more than like a half a foot away from her, and the closeness wasn't comforting.
Sami sucked in a huge breath and avoided Monster's warm brown eyes. He stared directly down at her and she used all of her might not to look at him.
"Well, you never know…" Monster breathed softly.
Sami looked up at him from under her eyelashes. She didn't want to look at him, and truthfully, she wouldn't have minded the closeness if she didn't feel like there was some underlying…thing…that was making him act so weirdly.
"Uhm, uh, yeah…" Sami finally spoke. She ran a hand through her pin straight hair and made her way around him and toward her gym bag, "Moose…uh…practically had to force me to audition…"
Her back was once again turned towards him and she began stuffing her scatter belongings into her bag. Her water bottle, her iPod, the knee pads that were defintely not hers….
Crap! Moose had already got Andie's knee pads out of his' locker. Sami distinctly remebered going with him afterschool to get them. They must've forgotten…and now Sami left in an incredibly awkward conversation…
"Kind of…pushy…don't ya think?" Monster's voice sliced through Sami's thoughts.
Sami turned at the word choice that he had used. She narrowed her eyes, and she felt as if a nerve had been hit. The Moose nerve…the nerve that no one ever wanted to hit. You just don't talk about her boyfriend like that.
"Pushy" Sami repeated, "Uhm, pushy…what do you mean…pushy?"
Monster's eyebrows rose a bit in shock by how offended Sami sounded. It annoyed him that she was so quick to defend her…boyfriend. However, Monster didn't want to make his way over to her bad side. The conversation was already uncomfortable enough as it was.
"I mean…forcing you to audition…that's not exactly…nice…I guess is what I'm trying to say…" Monster defended himself.
Sami ran a hand through her hair, which had fallen into her face when she turned, "No, not pushy at all…I told him I wanted to audition…but didn't think I should because I probably won't make it…and he…" Sami paused momentarily. She smiled warmly, "…he just…believes in me… a little too much…"
Monster bit his lower lip to keep from rolling his eyes. Was she serious? Monster just smiled, mimicking the warmness that Sam's showed, "Well, I wouldn't say too much, because…believe me…there's definitely a lot to believe in…you're really talented Sami…"
Take that! Monster wished that he could just whip out his cellphone and say just that to Moose. Take that spoonful of sugar and stir it in your coffee.
That's when it happened.
Sami looked at Monster for a moment. Her light brown eyes were soft and doughy. They pierced into his, and there was a coy smile shining on her beautiful face. It was so weird, but she did something that made something in Monster's mind click. She blushed, "Thanks"
That was it. It was that faint coloration that was sprinkled along Sami's cheeks. That was what convinced Monster that he could do this. As wrong as it sounded, he could steal one of his closest friend's girlfriends, with nothing but natural charm.

"AHHH!!!"
I winced and tightened my hold around Sami's waist. I felt her cringe as Andie and Camille squealed in unison. We had about an hour before first period and the whole crew had gone with Andie to meet Camille at the front of the school. None of us anticipated this loud reaction, though.
The two girls continued to scream and embrace each other. I studied Camille. She had long, dark brown hair that fell in perfect rinklets past her shoulders. Her skin was pale, but not too pale, and her smile was euphoric. She wore sweat capris, a white tank top under a thin jogging jacket, and black vans. What was it with New Yorkers and not dressing properly for the cold? I looked down at Sami who was dressed in a simple pair of blue skinny jeans, a plain t-shirt, and because I made her when I picked her up from school this morning…a black jogging jacket and a black beanie.
"Ahem…" Chase cleared his throat loudly. He wrap his arm around Andie's shoulder which forced Camille and Andie to separate momentarily.
"Oh!" Andie laughed. She wrapped her arms around Chase's torso and grinned, "Camille…this is Chase"
Camille flashed a bright smile, her chocolate eyes twinkling. Her overall body language just read 'happy'.
"So…this is Mr. Collins…the love of your life…the hottie with a body…and amazing dancer that I have heard so much about" Camille noted.
Andie stuck her tongue out at her.
"Really? Hottie with a body?" Chase asked intrigued, "I mean…I uh…am no stranger to gym…"
Andie rolled her eyes, "Those words were never spoken from my mouth. Camille…this one already has a major ego…let's try not to boost it even higher than need be"
"Okay" Camille laughed, "It's very nice to meet you Chase"
"Same to you, Ms. Camille" Chase flashed one of his million dollar grins. You know the one that 'supposedly' makes the honies swoon and fall over each other. Please, I have yet to see it happen.
"Oh, but let me introduce you to the rest of the cr-"
"No need" Cable interrupted. He pushed past Chase and Andie and immediately made his way front and center. He grinned, you know…the grin that 'supposedly' makes the honies stand in 'awe'…yeah, I have yet to see it happen.
Camille giggled as Cable gently took her right hand and kissed it, "Hola, Senorita…me llamo Cable, but you may call me Senor Suave… I am here for all dating, flirting, and 'shoulder-to-cry-on' services…"
"Excuse me" Smiles bumped Cable out of the way, "I'd like to apologize for my friend's rash and inappropriate behavior…I'm Smiles"
"Yo, Smiles, man…why you gotta mess up my game, playa?" Cable complained. He went over and stood by Monster. Who was unusually quiet? I narrowed my eyes at him, but eventually refocused my attention.
"…and that's Moose…" Andie's voice cut through my thoughts. I immediately shot a bright smile in Camille's direction.
"Hey!" I greeted, I looked down at Sami. Her eyes were planted on the ground, but slowly began to look up.
"Hey…you look…familiar…" Camille noted. Sami stared at her with confused expression.
"This is Sami…" I introduced, "My girlfriend…"
I didn't notice until my cheeks started hurting that I was grinning mad hard. Gosh, I still couldn't believe that I got butterflies every time I said 'girlfriend' following the word 'my'.
"Did you go to Booker T. Washington High School?" Camille asked. She was standing right in front of me and Sami now her eyes focused and wondering.
Sami's eyebrows furrowed as her eyes narrowed, "Yeah…"
"I knew it!" Camille exclaimed. She flashed a bright smile, "You were that freshman that would always watch the bboy battles between lunch and fourth period"
I felt Sami's body vibrate as she chuckled, "Yeah, that was me"
"Wow, small world" Camille laughed, "Good to see you…you probably don't remember me"
"Now that I know who you are…yeah, you were that chick that kicked bboy ass!" Sami laughed, "Didn't they call you…"
"Smoke that ass, girl" Camille and Sami laughed in unison. I grinned I loved hearing her laugh. I maneuvered my way behind Sami and wrapped both of my arms comfortably around her waist. I rested my chin on top of hers and breathed in the sweat scent of her shampoo.
"Watch?" Cable asked suddenly. We all directed our attention to him.
"Sami, why didn't you tear it up with Camille up in New York?" Cable asked. Everyone now redirected their focus back on Sami. She blushed, and I squeezed my grip around her waist gently. She was so cute when she was nervous.
"You BGirl?" Camille asked. There was a new light that shone through Camille's eyes.
Sami chuckled nervously, "Well, I uhm…you know…"
"She's beast"
All of our heads jerked toward Monster. He was staring very intently at Sami. Camille narrowed her eyes at him curiously.
"Sorry, but I don't think we've met" Camille noted.
Monster slowly tore his eyes away from Sami and looked Camille with uncaring eyes, "Monster"
Camille's face twisted up in a sour expression in reaction to Monster's snappy reply. Her head jerked toward Andie who just shrugged and mouthed an apology. Camille turned her attention back to Sami.
"Well, if you're so 'beast' what do you say to a battle?" Camille challenged. There was a hint of a smirk on her lips and that same sort of weird light shone through her eyes.
"Uhm, well…" Sami choked out. Her eyes made their way back down to grown. I tightened my grip and leaned down closely so that I could whisper in her ear.
I smiled when I felt her shiver in my arms by my closeness, "You can do it"
"But…" Sami whispered in protest, but she didn't say anything.
"You want to battle her?" I asked. I looked up at everyone else who was staring at us. I shot them all a look and they redirected their attention somewhere else. Except for one person, but I don't think I need to say their name.
"Uhm…well…yeah…" Sami whispered timidly.
"Then go!" I laughed.
"But…"
"No, buts…I didn't spend nearly a month on you for nothing….go out there and kick her ass!" I laughed as I pushed her tiny body forward.
Camille took in Sami and smirked, but there was a glow of humor in her eyes. This was all good hearted fun.
"Damn, girl, you're tiny" Camille noted as she looked over Sami's petite and timid body.
Sami shrugged always nonresponsive toward strangers.
"It's okay, though, I'll go easy on ya" Camille winked. She pulled a pair of leather cut off gloves out of her jacket pocket and began slipping them on.
"Yeah? Well, the…taller they are….the harder they fall" Sami replied. Her expression quickly became confused as she thought her response over, "Oh…wait…"
We all busted out laughing. She was so fricking cute! Even Monster had to fight a smile.
"Well, that was a lame attempt at trash talking" Cable laughed.
Sami glared at him, "Shut up, Cable"
"You're such a dork" I noted.
Sami rolled her eyes, "Like you're one to talk"
"Andie, she's adorable" Camille laughed. She began pulling her iPod out of her back pocket, and then pulled her book bag off of her back and set it on the ground. She unzipped it and took at out her laptop and set it carefully next to her book bag and hooked her iPod up to it. She clicked around a few times before 'Don't Sweat the Technique' by Erik B and Rakim began flowing through the speakers.
"Oh, snap" Cable laughed. He, Chase, Smiles, and Hair immediately started rocking to the beat.
"She's tapp'n that old school" Smiles laughed as he and the rest of the guys started rock'n to the beat.
My body began to rock with the beat along with everyone else I made my way over with the rest of the guys. Andie, Kido, Fly, and Monster across from us as we formed a circle around the two bgirls.
The girls began to prep. Sami pulled the beanie black beanie that was hanging out of her back pocket and placed it over her head. She pulled her own pair of cut off black leather gloves and began stretching as Camille did. They both moved their bodies quickly catching the feel of the song.
Immediately Chase, Cable, Smiles, Hair, and I began spitt'n out the words to the old school rap. People might want to try and play us and call us dorks for knowing the song, but we just laugh and call ourselves true bboys.
"Mind if I go first?" Camille asked grinning. She proceeded to move her body once Sami gave her a nod.
Camille was good.
She caught every beat, every rhythm; the music was visually flowing through her body as she moved her body. She was just showing her foot work which was extremely impressive. Her upper body was involved too, but not as much as bottom half. This battle, judging by the music, and how both girls were reacting, it was going to be straight up bgirl…minimal hip hop.
Sami watched Camille intently. I couldn't tell if she was scared or intimidated. She just watched Camille's every move and I guessed that this was her poker face.
Camille stepped back and beckoned Sami forward. Sami obliged quickly. No hesitation. That was good. It was confident.
Sami kicked right into a more complex version of an Indian step and then into a cross over. In response to Camille, she displayed her very impressive foot work. I personally only dabble in the breaking area, and so whenever I danced with Sami we usually popped, locked, waved, flexed, but nothing that involved breaking. So I was very pleased to finally get to see her bgirl swag.
Of course, being Sami, her 'presentation' was interesting and funny to watch. She made funny faces and reacted to everything she did. She even started to do this insane housing variation that was insanely sick. Then eventually it was Camille's turn again.
When Camille went up there was a newfound energy. It was brought on, I'm guessing, by Sami's performance. I don't think Camille expected Sami to be that good.
This time Camille went straight into her top rock and teased Sami a little bit. She dropped into her floor rock. Her floor work was just as impressive as her foot work. She flipped and twisted all around the entire circle. She'd stop at some points to look at Sami, or a hit a quick freeze but for the most part she was like this…big ball of twisting chaos. She was moving so fast she was a blurr…like to cats fighting. It just made her freeze look much more profound. Eventually she hit a chair freeze and a chorus of 'oh!'s broke out. Even I had an outburst; you can't deny a good battle.
Camille twisted out of her freeze, but before she could even back up to give Sami space. Sami hit a side aerial that caught Camille completely off guard. Camille didn't have to back up by herself, Sami did it for her.
"OHHHHHH!" Our entire crew cheered.
Sami immediately went into her top rock, and then into her up rock, she dropped and hit a quick…complex version a six step before twisting back up. She went back into her up rock, but what we didn't expect. At least, I know I didn't, and by the looks on everyone else's faces…they didn't either.
She hit 1990's!
Everyone, but Camille, was in shock. Even Monster's jaw dropped at the display of the move.
"Dude!" Cable yelled.
"OH!" We all cheered. None of us knew that Sami was so deeply mastered in the skill of bgirling.
She did a quick Indian step, side sweeps, and then some cross overs before she dropped back into her foot work. She flew around the entire circle. Camille just simply grinned as she watched Sami fly. Sami's floor rock was pretty outstanding. We all laughed as she mocked Camille. She moved incredibly fast, as she did, and stopped every once in a while to freeze, but instead of just freezing she'd cross her eyes, stick out her tongue, make extremely silly faces. Even Camille laughed. Sami moved incredibly fast and eventually flipped around land smoothly on her back. We cheered as she landed, but she wasn't done. Her head, pointing in the direction of Camille, she lifted her back off of the ground, and glided quickly toward her. Stopping at the foot of Camille's feet, Sami kicked her legs over into a head stand, which turned into a hand stand, and inverted right in Camille's face.
"OHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!" We cheered. We had no idea that Sami could bgirl like that. At least I didn't, and it was insanely amazingly awesomely mind blowingly cool!
Camille just grinned and clapped as Sami turned out of her invert and stood quickly to strike a pose.
Camille continued to clap, as we cheered, and she made her way to the center of the circle. By the looks of it, Sami had won, but apparently Camille wasn't finished yet. We were quiet as she began to go into a very complex top rock, and a quick up rock.
Then she proved why she wasn't as impressed as the rest of us when Sami hit her 1990's.
Camille prepped herself, and what we didn't expect was for her to hit 2000's!
Sami's jaw dropped, damaging her poker face.
The rest of use cheered as Camille quickly turned out. She went into a quick variation of her up rock before hitting the floor and hitting a three step combination. Mimicking Sami, Camille rolled back into a head stand that turned into a hand stand. She inverted, and we all cheered, but then she slowly twisted her legs out of her invert, still in a hand stand, and then she did something that I have never seen a girl do…ever…
She hit a hallow back!
Sami's eyes bugged out as she watched Camille hit a perfect hallow back and easily twist out of it. Camille struck a pose, and looked at Sami expectantly.
The rest of us cheered like crazy! That was insane!
We all looked at Sami who did her best to compose her features. She slowly walked up to Camille who relaxed out of her 'bgirl pose'.
Sami shot Camille her adorable, award winning smile. She stuck her hand out in front of her. Camille looked down at it and smiled quickly accepting Sami's hand in a respectful dap.
We all clapped for the two amazing bgirls.
"You are an amazing bgirl" Sami complimented Camille. There was true sincerity in her gooey brown eyes.
"Thank you" Camille grinned her dark brown eyes glowing, "You are too"
Andie wrapped her arms around Camille's thin waist, and Camille wrapped her arms around Andie's shoulders.
"You've got one talented girl in your crew" Camille told Andie.
Andie rolled her eyes, "I know right? If only she wasn't so annoying with her 'I'm no good' attitude"
Sami laughed a cute a laugh before lightly nudging Andie playfully in the shoulder.
"But, I think we'll keep her" Andie grinned.
I draped my arm over Sami's shoulder and grinned at her, "You did great kiddo"
Her face twisted up at me in a sour expression, "Kiddo? You be straight tripp'n, sir"
We all laughed. She was such a loser sometimes. Which is why are so amazingly compatible.
"Wow, Moose" Cable laughed, "She's definitely a keeper"
"Watch your mouth" Sami snapped at him.
We laughed again.
"She's so small…and yet…she's like….woah!" Chase laughed, "I don't understand how someone so small can do power moves like that!"
"You do not look like you have the upper body strength to be doing 1990's, girl" Camille chuckled as she looked over Sami's thin figure.
"Big things come in small packages?" Sami replied. Her eyes narrowed as she rethought her explanation, "Oh, wait…"
We all laughed, and then Cable pushed Monster.
"That's what Monster hopes the next girl he dates is going to say" Cable teased as he quickly, but he still did it, hit Monster's crouch with his fist. Monster quickly responded by kicking Cable in the butt as he tried to run away.
The rest of us ignored them. I will never understand. For us guys to claim to be straight…we do some pretty gay things…
"Anyways…" Sami regained everyone's attention, "You don't look like you have the upper body strength to doing 2000's and hallow backs!" Sami gushed in astonishment, "How long did it take you to do that? My 2000's are sloppy, but getting there…but the Lord knows I will break my neck trying to invert like you did on you hallow back"
"It took me like…6 months of day after day nonstop practicing to hit my 2000's perfectly. I had to start lifting weights, pushups, pull-ups in order to obtain the upper body strength to them…and it took me almost a year to hit that hallow back somewhat decently. It was hard, but I did it. Plus, I'm like 17….I learned how to do those…when I was 15 so…I've had some time to perfect them.."
Chase let out a low whistle.
"Woah" Sami noted, "Well, you're insanely good"
"Thanks" Camille grinned.

"I just…have no idea what to do anymore, Meezy…" Monster groaned. He let his head hit the cool bar counter top. He pushed his empty coke glass forward and he could hear the clinking noise as Meezy set down another glass of fesh coke.
"What are you talking about?" Meezy asked as Monster slowly lifted his head up and took his glass.
Monster and the rest of the MSA crew were at the Dragon. Andie wanted to take Camille out as a celebration of her arrival. Some celebration they come to the Dragon almost every night. There isn't anything celebratory about it now.
"Well, I'm taking your advice" Monster replied, his voice indifferent as he sipped at his drink.
"Advice?" Meezy asked as he wiped down the counter top with a white towel.
"I'm going for it…I want Sami…and there's no reason for me not to have her…"
"You're still sweat'n Smallz?" Meezy asked incredulously. He threw his towel over his shoulder.
"Dude, Meezy, I told you like two days ago…how could I be over her that fast?" Monster asked.
"Look, two days is a very long time for Meezy…chick ain't feel'n Meezy…then it's time for Meezy to bouce" Meezy laughed at himself. He grabbed an empty cup off of the bar counter and began to wash it.
Monster chuckled, "Well, that's not how it works for me…I'm going to work hard for this chick"
"Plans?" Meezy asked.
"I think I'm going to use the fact that we're both auditioning for the play at our school to my advantage" Monster mused as he brought his glass to his lips. He shivered as the icy cold beverage burned his throat at it went down.
"iight then" Meezy grinned, "get Tiny to start sweat'n you like you is sweat'n her, because I'm gonna tell ya now…you sounded every kind of crazy…sitt'n her talk'n bout how you are so in love with this girl….and she ain't even look once in your direction"
Monster laughed. He hasn't been happy at all in the past few weeks, but Meezy made him laugh. It was like he was a better friend than MSA. They were all so happy for Sami and Moose…it was sickening. Like the entire crew as against him.
"Well, I'm gonna go take a leak…I'll be right back" Monster announced as he lifted his body off of the stool he was sitting on and started walking away.
"Yo, thanks for share'n…" Meezy called after him disgustedly.
Monster grinned as he called over his shoulder, "No problem, dawgg"
Meezy began tending to other club goers. He was refilling one guy's glass and then Chase came and sat down. His hair was completely matted with sweat under his hat. His skin was glistening in the little light that was in the club, but you could tell that he had been hitt'n the dance floor.
"Yo, Meezy" Chase greeted him as he came over.
"What's up, Chase?" Meezy greeted back as he began drying a freshly washed glass.
"Tired…man, it is crazy in there…" Chase laughed as he nodded toward the large crowd, "…so I've come to hydrate"
"iight…I got you, dude…" Meezy grabbed bottled water from under the counter and placed it in front of Chase. Chase quickly unscrewed the top and took a long swig of his water. It was half gone.
"Damn" Meezy laughed. Chase joined him. "It's like you're runnin' a marathon or something"
Chase shook his laughing, but then he remembered something, "yo, was that Monster I saw leave?"
"Nah, dude, he just went to the bathroom…he'll be back…" Meezy replied.
"Has he been over here the whole time?" Chase asked incredulously.
"Bugg'n the hell out of me about how much his life sucks? Yeah" Meezy laughed.
"Yeah, he's been down and out for the past few weeks, man" Chase commented, taking another swig of his water.
"Yeah, I mean…who knew he'd be sweat'n Smallz" Meezy noted.
Chase's eyes bugged out, "Yo, did you just say that Monster is sweat'n Sami?"
Realization hit Meezy as he took in Chase's shocked expression. Meezy continued to dry the already dry glass in his hands, "Yo, I don't know a damn thing…"
No way was Meezy getting involved in this high school drama.
"He wouldn't do that to Moose…he isn't going to do anything is he?" Chase asked. There were so many questions that had been answered at that moment. Monster's weird behavior…the way he seems to act cold toward Moose…
"I don't know a damn thing" Meezy repeated. He turned his back to Chase and put the glass away.
"Damn…" Chase muttered, "He better not do anything stupid…"
I apologize to all of my readers who actually review.
Blame those who want to read and favorite my story without reviewing. This chapter has been done for quite some time now, but I didn't want to put it up because of my lack of reviews.
I suggest that if you lack knowledge of bboying and hip hop in genral...I would look up anything that you don't know.
I don't like this chapter, personally, I guess that's because the really awesome stuff comes later, but that's okay :)
