Hello again readers! Welcome to chapter 4 of Taming the Flames. Thank you all for the reviews, favorites and follows. It makes me happy to know you guys like my story! This is a filler chapter and sorry but it's not very long. Enjoy.

Ariya walked into the choir room just as the bell rang. She looked around the room and there were quite a few students in the room. Most of them were girls but there were a few boys. The boys were in the middle of the room while there was groups of girls on both sides of them.

She smiled when she saw Daisy, and gave her a small wave. Daisy waved back. Ariya walked over to Mrs. Jackson, who was sitting at her desk.

"Hi I'm your new student Ariyana Michaelis." She said to her. Mrs. Jackson looked up from her computer and smiled. "Welcome." She said kindly.

Mrs. Jackson looked like she was late twenties, early thirties. She had caramel colored skin with black hair and chocolate brown eyes. Her face looked kind and she had a pretty smile.

"Why don't you introduce yourself." She told Ariya.

Ariya turned to the class and smiled. "Hi I'm Ariyana Michaelis. I like to be called Ariya and I'm 16. My dad and I moved here from New York City. I've been singing and dancing since I can remember and I love it."

Mrs. Jackson smiled "Thank you Ariyana" she said getting up from her desk. "Would you mind singing something that would show me your range?" "Nor problem. Can I use the piano?" Ariya asked. Mrs. Jackson motioned towards the piano as a silent "go ahead."

Ariya walked to the piano and sat at the bench. She took a deep breath and started playing "Only Hope" by Mandy Moore. Her voice was soft and shaky at first but, as she grew confidence her voice became louder and clearer.

When she was finished the class erupted in applause. Ariya looked up and saw Hotstreak at the door. He was clapping as well and it made Ariya blush.

Mrs. Jackson put her hand on Ariya's shoulder. "That was beautiful Ariyana. I'm going to place you in the soprano section. Take a seat next to Daisy." She looked up and saw Hotstreak at the door.

"Oh Francis! I didn't see you come in. Who do you need today?" She asked. Ariya saw Hotstreak grimace when Mrs. Jackson called him Francis. "It's Hotstreak Mrs. J." he said to her and then he continued. "The office needs Daisy for a bit. Something about the Winter Formal."

Mrs. Jackson nodded "Daisy you are excused. Everyone else lets warm up." She said as she sat down at the piano. Ariya watched Daisy leave with Hotstreak but not before he turned around and gave her a wink. She smiled at him and watched him leave.

After warm ups the class started practicing for their winter concert. Mrs. Jackson Handed Ariya the sheet music. "Just follow along and join in when you feel comfortable. You don't have to join in today but I expect you to follow along. Our concert isn't for two months so you have plenty of time to learn the songs. We are also having auditions for the solos in two weeks. I hope you will try for one." She said to Ariya.

The rest of the class went smoothly and Mrs. Jackson gave them a little free time before the class was over. Daisy came back when there was only five minutes left in class. When the bell rang she went to wait for Hotstreak where he dropped her off.

While she waited she fished her schedule out of her backpack once again to see what she had. Her schedule said AP English with Mr. Jeffries. She put her schedule back in her backpack just as Hotstreak was walking up to her.

"Ready to go princess?" he asked her. Ariya stuck her tongue out at him and nodded. He was pretty quiet on the walk to her next class. "What do you have next?" she asked him to break the silence.

"I have study hall. I usually get my homework done in there for the day so I don't have to do it when I get home. It's the classroom across from yours." He said to her as he held open the door to another building. "After this class we have lunch. I usually eat in the courtyard if you would like to join me."

Ariya smiled "I would like that." She told him. Hotstreak nodded and stopped. "Here you go. AP English. I'm right across the hall so I'll wait for you after class." He told her.

Ariya nodded "Later." She told him and walked into her classroom. He managed to say "Later" before the door closed.

So that was chapter 4. Ariya learned Hotstreak's real name and she is going to confront him about it during lunch. I know this chapter was really sort and the wait for it was really long. I'm so sorry. School has me so busy I never have time for this anymore. But worry not I will make time! I'm not giving up on this story. Hope you guys like this chapter.
