AN: I want to thank all you guys for the awesome reviews, it really does put a smile on my face. I also want to let all you know that I will continue to be updating my chapters for this story, but it might not be as much or as often as I have been; I'm starting to write my own novel that I'm hoping to get published; I promise though that I won't go longer than two days tops when it comes to this story though. Again thank you all for reviewing, I love you guys, you're awesome.

The school day dragged by much like it did yesterday, though I was a little more involved in my classes; taking notes in-between surfing on the web. I was still pondering whether or not to show up to this dance practice; I always enjoyed dancing at parties, but I never really considered it something to do outside of a party setting; I wasn't that bad at it either. 'I could use it a fun substitute for playing sports maybe,' I thought. I didn't really know though, 'oh what the hell, I'll just show up and if I don't like it I can tell them it's not my thing and bale.' I made up my mind.

(back at court)

"I never heard of Calvin College, but it is relatively close to where I'm going, so I'll still be able to see you." Lissa told Christian smiling and giving him a kiss, which he happily returned.

"Well, that's why I picked it, the school you're going to seems nice and all but we both know I can't afford a school like that, and this one I can. And like you said, we'll still be close enough together that we'll get to see one another. Although I wish you could've gotten Dimitri as an assigned guardian, I would've felt much better knowing he was guarding you." He said, picking up papers sent to him from the school.

"Eddie will keep me safe and I feel a lot better knowing that Dimitri will be with you. I just wish Queen Tatiana would of gave us more of a heads up, so we could of spent more time with one another before we knew we were going away." Lissa replied, picking through papers from her school as well. There was a knock on the door the door, and Dimitri entered.

"Lissa, the Queen wishes to speak with you before your departure," Dimitri stated taking up a guarding stance by the door. Lissa has noticed that since Rose left, that his accent has gotten more prominent; whether he admitted it or not, she thought Rose leaving here bothered him a lot.

I walked in to the room that was labeled to me the "dance practice" room. What I saw had me standing there in awe and somewhat dumbstruck too. I imagined a lot of different things when I thought of dance practice, but my imagination was very lacking apparently. They were all dancing in perfect sync with one another and you could tell by watching them that they were completely aware of one another, as they weaved through and around one another to a song I'd never heard before. The girls were all centered in the middle and the guys had created a half oval around them. The girls were all dancing the way she would at a party, provocative yet not slutty; while the guys were doing street dance; and the best thing was that no one was in tights!

I stood there for I don't know how long watching them, when I heard the door open and close behind me. I turned and saw the same guy from this morning there smiling at me. He had changed out of his school uniform like the rest of the other dancers and I have to say he looked good in his uniform, but out he was hot enough to have girls swooning at his feet.

"Glad to see you actually showed up, I was afraid you would just high tail it and run," he said walking past me and giving me a wink.

"And just why would I do something like that?" I ask putting my hands on my hips and giving him my best man-eater smile. He paused for a minute, caught off guard I'm guessing, seeing as how I was shooting him a murderous glare this morning. But hey, I like flirting, I think it's fun and if he wants to flirt he's about to learn that I run with the best of them. Being in this atmosphere and playing around with someone, it brought back some of my old spirit. I walked up to him and dropped my bag in front of the room where he had walked past me to deposit his. I looked up challenging at him and crossed my arms in front of my chest, "So, are you going to stand there all day staring at me or are you going to fill me in on the steps?" I ask.

He smiled and his eyes lit up like mine do when a challenge is set before me, "That depends."

"On what?"

"On if you can keep up or not, who knows maybe you won't be good enough to make the cut." He said shrugging, and looking away as if he meant it; but his lips quirking up in the corners gave him away.

"Question is, are you going to make the cut, when I learn the steps." I shot back playfully.

He walked towards the dancers and signaled me to follow him. They placed me in the back of the group of girls with him right behind me; that way I could watch the moves the girls were doing while they were breaking it down for me, and also so he could watch me and correct me if he needed to. I have a very strong feeling that this dance thing is going to become something that I might enjoy after all.
