Previously:

Then I remembered that he chose me as a partner...

The tango was a very intimate dance with the dancer's bodies pressed super tightly together.

I could feel my face get redder by the second.

Why did he have to choose me?

He finally turned around to face me, and the look on is face nearly turned my stomach inside out.

He looked as if he was a wolf that had finally cornered a fat rabbit.

It sent chills down my spine and I shivered. I hoped he hadn't seen me shiver, but the slight smirk that appeared on his face told me different.

"Well then", he said, "shall we get started?"

I nearly melted at the sound of his voice; it was so velvety and inviting.

I was so surprised because it sounded nothing like the yelling voice he had used on me the first morning I had met him.

He actually sounded kind of nice when he wasn't snarling at me. I slowly nodded, and then he suggested we should start with the basics.

The teacher came around and handed out a magazine to every group.

She told us to put it between us and our partner and made sure it never slipped or fell during the dance.

If it fell, that means we failed. Gunther held the magazine at his chest and motioned me to come forward.

I hesitantly did as I was told, and our bodies were just about to touch when—

"Gunther, honey! You didn't mean any of that earlier, right?

That was quite a show we put on earlier, who knew you were that good of an actor!", his ex said in a sickeningly sweet voice.

"Nancy, I meant it. We're through, I never even really liked you", he calmly replied. "What're you talking about?

Last night you even told me you loved me when we were-", she stopped talking in time to save herself from embarrassment.

At this point, it was becoming really awkward for me because I was in the middle of them, so I decided to just stand in the corner.

"Will you just stop bothering me? You're annoying and your voice is starting to give me a headache", he said.

I could hear his voice becoming less controlled. Tears started pouring down her face, along with her mascara.

"Plus," he added, "I'm with someone else already… Cece!" I thought to myself "He's with Cece?... Wait, I'M Cece!"

My heart began to flutter like a drunken butterfly. I was about to tell him off, but he walked up to me and quickly whispered,

"Tell the truth and your secret will be revealed." In my head, I groaned "Arghhh, why meee?"

Then he said out loud, "Right, Cece?" I mumbled "Y-yeah…" "You are such a pbbbt pbbbbbt pbbbbbbbbbt!", his ex shrieked.

The dance teacher blew her whistle just in time to keep Nancy's bad words from tainting the other student's ears.

The bell rang and I quickly changed my clothes. I told Rocky to head on over to English first without me.

I ran up to Gunther, "What was that about? We both know you hate my guts."

"That's right," he told me, "but I needed a way to get out of that relationship. Damn, she is so clingy, I swear.

But still, tell anyone the truth and you're dead." "What, why? Your relationship with her is already over."

"Right again", he said, "but some of my previous girlfriends want to reconnect and I am not all up for that.

So now, I'm just going to say that I'm taken by you already." "Well if you don't like them, then why did you get with them in the first place?", I muttered.

"Girls are just like toys", he bitterly said, "they're fun at first but then you get tired of them." All my nice thoughts about him instantly vanished at the moment.

How could he say something so cruel? "You're completely heartless...", I mumbled.

"That's me! Anyways, you better play along or it's bye bye reputation. See ya later, sweet cheeks", he winked.

I sighed, he had found the perfect revenge. It was a win-win for him. He found a way to lose all the annoying girls, and he found something that would bother me at the same time.

My thoughts were interrupted when he suddenly turned back around.

"Oh, and by the way, it won't be my responsibility if those girls do anything to you out of jealousy", he smirked.

I felt like my breakfast was going to reappear.
