Hey everyone and welcome to the second instalment of Listening With Your Feet. This is just a filler chapter. The plot will really start turning next chapter.

…

That's all I have to say.

Leaf

"Well, here's your room key, and your boxes are upstairs already," the receptionist told me.

"Thank you."

Was this a dorm? More like a hotel. I scoffed as I easily walked over to the elevator in my 6 inch thigh boots and pressed floor 14, the doors shutting.

Apart from me, there was no one else in the elevator except this really pretty girl with dark blue hair and eyes. She was staring at me with a crease in between her eyebrows, deep in thought.

This was creepy.

"I know you!" she suddenly exclaimed, snapping her fingers for emphasis.

"Okay…?" I trailed off, seriously creeped out now.

"Well, we don't know each other, but I feel like I know you."

"Right." I shook my head.

"I'm Dawn! Dawn Berlitz." She held out her hand, smiling at me. She should do this more often, instead of creeping people out. She looks hotter than even a model right now.

I decided to take her hand, then remembered I had to introduce myself by my real name here.

"Leaf Green." I dropped my hand.

"So, Leaf. What kind of dance do you specialize in? I do ballet. My friends do other types, though. I'm sixteen."

"So am I. And I, actually, specialize in more than one kind of dance."

"Ooh! Do tell."

"Well, I mainly do contemporary," her eyes lit up, "but I can also do to an extent jazz, hip hop, tap and ballet. The only other type of dance that I can do as well as contemporary is acro."

"Really? You're so talented. I would love to get to know you better."

"Me too." Recalling that it was second semester, I questioned her. "Hey, so tell me all about this school. You've been here since first semester, right?"

The elevator stopped and we both climbed out, walking down the corridor.

"Of course! Well, you know the basics. One of the most prestigious schools in Unova, highly talented and rich students, nearly unbeatable."

"Nearly?"

Dawn's face suddenly darkened. "Yes. For the past few years, another dance school, Jewel Dance High—"

My mouth fell open in shock. "Jewel Dance High?!"

Dawn eyed me suspiciously. "You know them?"

"Yes! They're only, like, so good at dancing. Obviously I prefer this school. I never could decide who was better at dancing between you two."

"That's the annoying thing. For years, we reigned all dance. And then they just pop up out of thin air and rival us! And trust me, Leaf, it's very hard to be able to rival us. You have to be, like, REALLY good."

"Believe me, I know. I've watched almost all of the past national dance tournaments, and it's either this school wins, Jewel wins, or it's a draw."

"Honestly, it's so infuriating." She stopped at her door. "Well, this is my stop. What room are you in? I'd like to come by and visit you later. Show you the ropes."

I was touched. "Thanks, and it's…" I looked down at my card. "Room 297?"

Dawn's eyebrows lifted and her eyes widened in surprise. "Really?"

"Yeah, why?"

She simply said nothing, just pointed to the room in front of her. 299. Then she pointed at the next door on her left, where 297 was written in bold gold letters on the dark brown wooden door.

I let out a giggle. "Well, now you can come visit me."

"You know, our rooms have connecting doors. And my best friend Misty is in that room. She told me she was expecting someone new today."

"Really?"

"Really. I'm sure she's either sleeping or working out now." Dawn took my arm and dragged me to my room door. I slipped in my card and we both walked in, my eyes taking in everything around me. I could not help gasping at the décor.

The floor was a plush black and white rug. The room was narrow, but long. Lined along the left side wall were the television, desk and computer, another desk and computer, and a bookcase. The wardrobes were to my immediate left, as soon as I entered the room. The back wall had a ceiling to floor length window. I presumed it couldn't be opened, else someone would fall to the brick rod underneath. The room smelled pleasantly of vanilla and cinnamon, and was cold. Lined across the right side of the room were the bathroom door, the connecting door, bedside desks, and two large king sized beds with white sheets and a comforter. On the bed closest to Dawn and I was a girl, with bright orange-red hair down to her shoulders, sitting comfortably and reading Pride and Prejudice.

"Wow," I breathed. The girl looked up from her book, and the first thing I noticed was her eyes. They were a striking color, bright jade, and they contrasted nicely with her porcelain skin, which had freckles scattered delicately across her nose. Her nose was straight, upturned a little at the end, and her lips were pink, full and inviting. Her square jawline just gave her features a sharp, eye-catching finish.

If Dawn was pretty, this girl was beautiful. She'd be stiff competition for guys in this school.

"Hey, Misty," Dawn called out. Hm. So her name was Misty.

"Hey." Misty got up from the bed, and I noticed her figure too. Her chest and butt were not small at all, but they tinkered on the fence of big and medium. She was toned and muscular, and… fit. I could tell, from her limbs and her flat-as-a-washboard stomach. She was tall, too, about half a head taller than me. Competition just got stiffer.

"And who's this?" She said, turning her bold gaze on me from under thick lashes.

Dawn smiled, as did Misty. "Misty, this is Leaf. She is the roommate you're expecting today."

Misty turned back to me, grinning in pure happiness. "Aw, it's so good to meet you!" She engulfed me in a hug.

"Thanks." Better to just get this off my chest. "Um, guys, I'm Leaf, but I also go by something else…"

Dawn and Misty looked at me expectantly.

Breathing deeply, I removed my sunglasses. The first thing I heard was, "You have amazing eyes. They remind me very much of someone…"

I laughed. "Thanks, Dawn."

I grabbed hold of my short black wig, and Dawn began to freak out.

"Leaf, are you pulling out your hair?! We're annoying you already?" I chose to ignore her.

I pulled off the wig, letting my long, thick chocolate tresses run free, stopping between my waist and hips.

I stood up straight and looked them in the eye. Dawn's eyes widened in shock, and Misty simply raised her eyebrows with a 'no way' look on her face.

I lifted my shoulders, grinning sheepishly. "Surprise, surprise."

Misty was the first to speak. "Whoa. You're—"

"EMERALD OCEAN!" Dawn screeched, cutting her off. "I knew it!"

"Did someone say Emerald Ocean?" A completely different voice said from the connecting door. God, no… Not anyone else…

I turned to look at the stranger, a horrified look on my face.

Dawn scoffed. "Calm down, Emerald." The girl's eyes widened. "This is my other best friend, May."

I gave May a once over, and my mood got sadder. Great, more competition. May was shorter than me, but she was all curves. Big boobs – hey, no fair – big butt, hourglass figure, tiny waist like mine. Sweet peach complexion, and mesmerizing sapphire blue eyes. Button nose, full round lips, smooth round jawline. Shoulder length brown hair, a few shades lighter than mine.

How was I going to get a boyfriend? I knew I shouldn't, after what happened last time, but I am a boy magnet. And if stronger magnets were here, I wouldn't get anyone!

I may be acting like a bitch right now, but seriously. Boys are a very major part of my life.

"Emerald Ocean?" I nodded at May. "I can see why. Your eyes are so green…" she shook her head. "Sign my arm?"

"May!" Misty scolded.

I giggled at her. "It's fine. And you know, you can calm down. I'm sixteen."

"So are we."

"Right. I've got one condition, though." They all listened eagerly. "You all have to promise not to spread the word outside this school that Emerald Ocean in here, okay? My real name is Leaf. Feel free to address me however you like."

"Awesome!" Misty said.

"Squeee!" Dawn squeaked.

"Okay," May breathed dreamily.

I rubbed my stomach. "Say, I'm hungry."

"No wonder," May said. "Your stomach is tiny."

"So is yours."

"But you're really curvy."

"So are you."

"You're lovely."

"So are you."

"You know what?!" Misty yelled. "We're all pretty! Let's go eat!"

"Hey that's my line!" May argued.

We all protested as Misty shoved us out the door.

*********LWYF*********

"And that's how I was admitted! I promised never to fight with Max ever again," May finished.

Misty raised a brow. "Really? Because judging from how much and how intensely I've seen you two fight, I don't think that's possible."

May blushed vehemently. "You know what? Let's go for a walk."

As we left the cafeteria, I couldn't help but ask. "Who's Max?"

"My little brother. We argue almost 24/7 but—oh!"

May had bumped into someone.

"I'm so sorry!" she shook her head, combing her fingers through her chestnut tresses. "I honestly thought… Drew?"

I took a glance at who she'd bumped into. It was some tall green-haired guy, what the hell? Behind him were an emo with purple hair (what was going on? First Dawn's blue hair, this guy's green hair and now purple hair? I should dye my hair pink.) and another guy with messy black hair… he was sexy. There was someone else, but I couldn't make out who it was.

As May and the green haired guy chatted and started to argue, I eyed him up and down with curiosity. He wore a white t-shirt with a red jacket over it, red trousers, black sneakers, and had tousled hair. As far as I could make out, he had tan skin and some impressive muscles.

The green haired guy turned to me. "May, are you going to introduce me and the guys to your friend?" He had deep green eyes, I saw.

May glanced at me and gasped. "Of course! I forgot. Drew, this is Leaf."

"Nice to meet you, Leaf."

"Likewise."

"I have to warn you," he came up to me, slinging an arm around my shoulders. "May can get a little hot-headed. So if I were you, I would make sure not to get her mad."

"Hey!" May complained, making me laugh.

"Point taken, Drew."

"Great. Well, let me introduce you to my friends here… that purple haired guy is Paul," the guy nodded at me, "the one with the black hair is Ash," the hot guy winked at me, and I eyed him seductively in response. "And that is Gary. The player of the school."

Ash and Paul moved aside, to reveal…

That gold-haired dildo from yesterday!

When he saw me, his eyes, mimicking mine, widened drastically and a crease appeared in between his eyebrows.

"YOU!" We both yelled at the same time. Drew looked taken aback, Paul smirked in amusement, and Ash looked confused, as did the girls.

"Seems like you two know each other." Drew stated. I laughed bitterly.

"Unfortunately, yes."

"Shut it, bitch," His deep voice amplified to his mood.

Misty looked at me, confused. "Leaf, what's going on? What did he do?"

"Hey! It was her!"

Paul came up to both of us. "Well, Leaf, seems like you're the girl Gary was complaining about yesterday."

Ash spoke to me next. "Yeah, he was ranting about some girl that claimed to be Emerald Ocean insulting his slut for the week. Sorry, were you pulling a prank or something? Because there is no way that…"

I smirked, raising an eyebrow, as the girls tried to hold in their laughter. I took off my hat and black wig, letting my long brown hair fall—again.

"… Emerald Ocean could…" He looked at me, giving me a once—over before doing a double-take. "Holy shit. EMERALD OCEAN?!"

Unfortunately, when he yelled like that, he caught the whole cafeteria's attention, who stared at me, waiting for my confirmation.

I cleared my throat nervously. "Um… yes…"

The next thing I knew, I was on Ash's shoulder, and the girls and Ash's friends were hightailing it out of there.

"Quick! Over there!" Ash yelled.

"What?" Misty yelled. "I can't see! I'm going behind that truck!" The others followed her.

The crowd, seeing Misty, called out: "She's in there, guys!" They rushed over to the truck.

I sat back down in the bush, panting heavily.

"Hey." Ash the hottie called me. "Must be hard being famous."

"Yeah, I guess."

There was a pause. "You don't know who I am?"

"No, who are you?"

He sighed. "I'm a TV star in Kanto."

As he said that, I felt a prick in my heart. "Kanto…" I whispered. My home.

Ash noticed my fallen countenance. "You okay, Leaf?"

"I'm fine," I said tersely.

"Hey, Leaf." I looked up, emerald green meeting clay brown. "Whenever you need to vent, you can come to me, okay? I'd really love to get to know you."

I smiled weakly, touched. "Yeah. Me too."

-Listening With Your Feet-

Later that night, the four of us girls had gone back to Dawn's room, decorated the same way as mine. The party was in an hour, and we had yet to get ready.

"So, guys!" Dawn clapped her hands, bouncing around. "This is officially the first party in the year of 2018! We have to kill it and bop till we drop!"

"Don't you normally say 'shop till we drop'?" Misty mused.

Dawn blinked. "Yeah, but whatever. And obviously, there will be dance-offs tonight, now that everyone knows that new people are here. And the biggest one will be…" she turned to me. "You, Emerald!"

"What?!" I nearly screeched.

"Of course! You're a world-renowned dancer, Emerald. You're amazing! People would be dying to see you in action live. Only one thing, though. This school is full of rich and famous people, or their children. So they will be amazed by you, though won't treat you as specially. Like Ash, he's a…"

"TV star?" I filled in. "Yes. I'm aware."

Misty raised her eyebrows with a smile, May raised AN eyebrow, and Dawn stared at me in awe.

"Aww, is little Emerald getting close to Ashy?" she winked. "Well, then, let's all look stunning tonight, ladies. But still wear something you can dance with, okay?"

Misty, May and I nodded, and we all parted ways.

Going back to my room with Misty, I shut the door.

"So, you and Ash, huh? And on your first day too."

I turned to see a smirking Misty. "It's not like that." I blushed.

"Oh, but it is. Nearly every girl in this school is dying to screw him and Gary, and he's already taken a shine to you?"

"Do you have a problem with it? If you do, I'll just back off…"

"NO!" She shrieked. "Of course not, Leaf, it's okay. And I have a boyfriend, you know. His name's Rudy. And in case you're wondering, Gary has a new girlfriend every week. I think he just dumped his current one. He just sleeps with them and moves on."

I scrunched my nose. "That's so terrible!" Misty snickered.

"Anyway, wear something sexy. With a smoking body like that, you're sure to find someone to warm your bed tonight." She winked at me and sashayed into Dawn and May's room.

After she left, I sat on my bed and thought about all she said. Me and Ash. Ash and me. Ash and Leaf. Leaf and Ash. Ash and Emerald. Emerald and Ash.

Damn! I was overthinking this!

Sure, I was definitely attracted to Ash. But did I have feelings for him?

Gary drifted into my mind. Ugh! Why the hell am I thinking about that f**king cunt?!

I got up and showered, then walked into the room in a towel. Looking through my clothes, I pondered what to wear. Something I can dance in…

I've got it!

I did my hair in large, loose waves, Camila Cabello style, and I wire a mint green halter neck crop top that stopped a few inches above my belly button. And to add extra sexiness, I donned a pair of asset-hugging and amplifying white yoga pants. I wore red sneakers on my feet, and a black Shambhala.

Walking over to the mirror, I looked at myself. Perfect! Nude lipgloss, winged black eyeliner, minimal eyebrow pencil, and the outfit. Curves on point, huge ass, and glowing white yoga pants. Well, curves on point except my boobs. I wasn't flat chested at all, but I wouldn't mind them being a little bigger.

Shrugging, I left the room for Misty to get ready.

-Listening With Your Feet-

Later on, we were all standing in front of the room where the party would be held.

"What's this place called?" I asked.

"It's the multipurpose hall. It's used for… well… multiple purposes," Misty said. She wore an off shoulder baggy oversized blue sweater with a white tank top underneath, navy blue jean shorts, and white trainers. She'd let her fiery hair down to her shoulders.

"Yeah. I remember when we had this party last term," Dawn commented. She wore dark blue leggings with hot pink ballet flats, a pink ribbon in her hair and a light pink plunging neckline halter top that showed off her enormous boob cleavage. So unfair.

May piped in. "Oh. I remember that one really well." She broke into a fit of laughter, while Dawn blushed heavily. May wore a tight scarlet red cold shoulder spandex top, with knee length purple tights and black slides with black ankle socks. She'd let down her hair to her shoulders and waved it.

That looked cute. Maybe I should try that…

"What happened?"

"Well, Dawn here," Misty gestured to her, giggling, "had just had the golden boy of this Academy, Lucas Kouki, dump her because she'd become too clingy."

"Hey! I really liked him! And I didn't want him to fall for anyone else!"

"Yeah, right." May rolled her eyes. "So anyway, during the dance, Misty and I decided to get them back together."

"But you said he dumped her. Didn't that mean he didn't like her?"

"Well, his fake friends just told him to, and since he trusted them at that time, he listened to them. Lucas was crazy about Dawn and still is. It broke his heart to dump her."

"Lucas had fake friends?"

"Yes, but that's a story for another day. Anyway, we attached a mic to Dawn's shirt, and as she was crying and sobbing her eyes out, moaning and whining about how much she loved Lucas…"

"… it was broadcast to the whole school," Misty finished. "Of course, Lucas heard, and without giving his friends a second thought, he rushed to Dawn and got back together with her! It was so cute!"

"Really?" I eyed Dawn. "Well, ain't you the lucky one. You're still together?"

"Of course! And the sex is really good, too…"

"DAWN!" Misty and May yelled. Dawn laughed.

"Right, right. Anyway, I forgot to tell you what Misty and May do, Leaf."

"I'm a hip hop dancer." Misty said. "Like Gary…"

"EW," I shouted. "Can we please not talk about that asshat."

"And I'm a contemporary dancer." May said.

"Like me!"

"I know!" we laughed.

"Anyway, guys, we should get inside."

The others nodded and we all walked into the hall. As soon as we entered, though, the music stopped, the crowd stopped moving, and everyone turned to stare at all four of us. I spotted the guys in a corner, and we walked over to meet them.

Little did we know what was in store for us that night…

R&R, F&F, PM. Bye.
