I walked into school the next day feeling like crap, I hadn't spoken to Paul since last night and it was bugging me, I didn't want to end anything with him but I didn't want my brother to hate me, or worse, beat the crap out of Paul, I went around back and saw people dancing in a circle, I heard some music come from the radio and I spotted Bolton bobbing to the music "You dancin then?" I asked motioning to the people doing solo's in the middle of the circle "Course I am" he replied enthusiastically, I moved a bit to the music and watched the people dancing "For god's sake man arch you're back"

Bolton said in annoyence, I felt somone come up next to me and I glanced to see Paul "You've got your routine sorted then?" he asked Bolton "Oh stand back and see how it's done" Bolton snapped going into the circle, I watched him start dancing and I cheered for him before knowing what I had to do "Paul" I said turning to him, he looked at me but didn't say anything "Can I talk to yah?" I asked hopefully, he nodded and I led him to the girls changing rooms "What do you want Kace?" he asked, I could tell he was annoyed with me "I had to talk to you" I said throwing my bag on one of the peg's

"Then talk" he snapped, I sighed "Look I'm sorry about what I said yesterday, I didn't mean it honest, I just don't know how to tell Bolton" I said, he nodded "If that's all then I should get goin" he said moving to leave, I stood in front of him "No don't go, please" I said begging, I hardly ever begged so this was saying something "Kace, I don't know if I can be with yah, yeah I want to but I don't wanna be part of this stupid little game, I mean first you wanna do this and then you don't, I can't keep up with you changin you're mind every day Kace" he said in annoyence, I sighed again

"Look I really like yah, but I'm so scared Paul, you don't know what he's like when it come's to me and Boy's, he goes all psycho fighter on 'em" I said stressfully "Yeah but you don't get it Kace, I was gonna go through it all for yah, sure he'd probably kick me ass into next week but I would go through it for yah" he said taking hold of my shoulders, I shook my head "I know, I just need the right time Paul, I swear I'll tell him" I said putting my hands on the back of his neck and resting my forehead agains't his "Kace, I dunno" he whispered nuzzling his nose with my own, I rested my hands on his shoulders and his slid down to my waist

"Please" I whimpered, he suddenly slammed his mouth agains't my own surprising me completely, I got my senses back and kissed him back just as hungrily, he dropped his bag on the floor and pulled away for a minute, he unzipped his jacket and tossed it down on his bag, he did the same to mine before pulling me back to him, the bell suddenly rang and he groaned in frustration, I giggled and pecked his cheek "Come on" I said picking up my jacket and bag, he pulled on his own jacket before grabbing his bag aswell "I forgive yah, but you better tell 'im soon Kace" he said leaving, I sighed and followed him.

We were in the lessons again and I wanted to shoot myself, I hated these things sometimes, I was sat on a chair next to Bolton who looked about as uninterested as everyone else "Alright, the most important thing we've learn't from our interviews?" Wilding asked, we all stayed quiet "First impressions, we make our minds up about people pretty much 5 seconds after we meet them so, what's that tell us?" he asked, no one answered "Paul?" he asked, Paul thought for a moment "Best talk fast then?" he asked, I chuckled and so did the class "Fast or slow, it's about gestures, the look on your face in those first few moments"

Koreshi said before leaving the classroom "Right okay, Bolton, pretend Miss Koreshi is someone you never met before, when she walks in the room show us how you'd greet her" Wilding said "You sure you wanna do that sir?" I asked, he nodded "You mean like I really would?" Bolton asked, Wilding nodded and I half covered my mouth in amusement, Koreshi walked in and Bolton stood up, he gave her one of his 'bro' hugs and we all laughed "No guys that wasn't bad it was open friendly, confident, now pretend this woman was the mother of someone you're going out with, or someone you've never met before but you really want to impress, you'd adapt your style wouldn't you? make it less, exciteable more formal, Paul"

Wilding said, I looked at him and he shook his head "Come on" Wilding said, Paul reluctantly stood up and walked over to Koreshi "You aright?" he said, we laughed again as he sat back down "Yep, brief to the point certainly, right uh why don't miss Koreshi and I show you what we mean?" Wilding asked turning to her "Right, eye contact, I look the person I'm meeting in the eye I extend my hand, Good morning, I'm Matt Wilding nice to meet you" Wilding said shaking hands with Koreshi "Good morning Matt" Koreshi said "Firm grasp, we shake once, none of this" Wilding said fist pounding his chest and clicking his fingers, I chuckled at that "Right you wanna give it a crack? C'mon"

Wilding said as Koreshi made everyone stand up, I stayed in my seat and Bolton turned to me "C'mon lazy bones you gotta do it to" he said pulling me up by the hands, I groaned "I don't wanna" I said babyishly, he rolled his eyes "Don't be a baby, get it over and done with yeah?" he asked holding out his hand to do the shake, I sighed and reluctantly did it "Uh Mikayla, why don't you shake hands with Miss Koreshi?" Wilding asked, everyone wanted to watch because apprently something had gone down with those two this morning, Mikayla held out her hand while smirking and Koreshi looked nervous

"Miss Koreshi, can I have a word?" Clarkson asked, Koreshi stared at Mikayla for a moment before leaving, everyone gasped and started mumbling about her "See that sir?" Mikayla asked, I never really like her, she was a bit gobby "Alright settle down" Wilding said even though we could tell he found it a bit dodgy too.

It was break time and I decided to go look for Jamie, I found her on the steps texting while hiding her phone, I snuck up behind her and grabbed her shoulder "Jesus!" she shouted, I laughed while sitting next to her "Don't ever do that again" she said catching her breath, I was still laughing "You shit yah self" I said through my laughter, she glared and turned back to her phone "Watcha doin?" I sung looking over her shoulder "Texting" she replied in the same tone, I rolled my eyes "How's Mike?"

I asked, she smiled and turned to me "He's takin me out later, for lunch or somethin, but I'm really excited" she said squealing, I nodded "Jame's are you gonna, yah know" I said, she finally got it and shrugged "Duno, depends where it all goes an tha" she replied going back to her phone "Jamie, be careful yeah? I worry about yah sometimes" I said, she turned back to me and gave me a quick hug "I'll be aright, I'm a big girl Kace" she said reasuringly,

I nodded and went back into the school, I was strolling through the hall munching on a cookie when someone pulled me into a secluded hallway "Dude you made me drop my cookie" I whined motioning to the cookie on the floor "Seriously? We get to spend break together and your complaining about the cookie?" Paul asked in disbelief, I shrugged "You didn't taste it" I muttered leaning back agains't the wall "Well I think you'll like this better" he said, I have him a confused look and he slowly pulled down the zipper of my jacket "We could get caught" I exclaimed, he shrugged and leaned into my neck "Don't worry, everyone's outside, and Bolton's round back dancin, we're the only one's ere Kace"

he said before kissing my neck, I moaned and bit my lip to silence it, he started sucking my collarbone "Paul" I said warningly, he pulled away for a second and groaned before going back in, only for my chest, he started kissing and while his one hand was on my waist the other he was using to pull the top of my shirt down a bit, the bell suddenly rang and he reluctantly pulled away "Time for class" I said pulling on my jacket, I picked up my bag and as I was leaving he pulled me back "What?" I asked nervously just incase someone walked past us, he leaned in and gave me a slow sweet kiss before pulling away,

I was surprised at that "What was that for?" I asked a little breathless, he shrugged "Felt like it needed to be done" he replied pulling on his bag, I nodded and we walked to the lesson.

Wilding had us clapping to some tune when Hadock and Budgin came through the door "What are they doin 'ere?" Paul asked not even trying to hide the annoyence in his voice "Mr Lawson wants a little more structure, to you're dancing" Wilding explained, although he sounded like he didn't care about our dancing all that much, and that was how we prefferred it "Structure? What you onabout?" Mikayla asked "Here we go Matt" Hadock said handing Wilding a CD, she spun into some weird pose thing and we all laughed "What the hell is she doin?" Paul asked "Strictly Ballroom" Wilding said as he put in the CD

"As in the telly?" Bolton asked "Yep, Mr Budgin was a champion" Wilding said, a few people whistled and I chuckled "Was" Budgin said "Yer 'avin a G'raff sir" Paul said scoffing "And I can assure you if I hadn't been forced into this I wouldn't be here" Budgin said walking over to Hadock, I did feel bad for the old sod sometimes, he hated it here more than us, but a jobs a job I guess, only difference is he's getting paid to be here, were not, Wilding pressed play on the CD player and Budgin and Hadock started to dance, Budgin started going on about something but I wasn't listening, I was busy trying to make sure no sounds of laughter slid out of my mouth

"...It's a dance of communication, 2 people, interpreting the same music, expressing their feelings, body to body, face to face, soul to soul" Budgin said slowing to a stop, I leaned closer to Paul "Do I have a dirty mind or did that sound a bit like sex, yah know the last bit?" I asked, he snickered and linked his hand with my own, they were inbetween our chairs hidden where nobody could see them, but it felt really nice being able to do it "Come on everyone round of applause" Wilding said, a few people clapped but I didn't bother to

"Well, we'll let you get on with writhing around the floor on you're backs, break dancing, dancing my eye" Budgin said as he headed for the door "It's well proper dancin, not like that easy stuff youse of done, 1 2 3 1 2 3, that's so mingin" Bolton said mockingly "I think maybe the technical aspects are a little lost on you after all it's only 250 years of History" Budgin said "Oh yeah? well break dancing's got loads of History aswell. It's from New York, the Bronx, it was the DJ's on street corners in the 70's that started it all off, I've done loads of research over the internet about it" Bolton said "1970's"

Budgin muttered "Bolton, I think what Mr Budgin's trying to say is that it's not proper dancing" Wildin said "No way man, there's loads of moves there's head spin, back slides, 6 step, bet you couldn't do one single break dance move" Bolton said directly to Budgin "An you can do it to anythin sir, can even do it to that load of pants" Sash said earning chuckles from the class "Put it back on Sash" Bolton said standing up, everyone cheered him on and Sash went over to the player, she turned it on and Budgin's old music came on, Bolton started dancing and to my surprise his moves were actually going with the music,

he sat down and we clapped for him "Okay then Mr Budgin, let's see you do some a that" Bolton said, Budgin chuckled "Well I think you'll find with all forms of modern music, the roots go back a lot further than 1970, I mean break dancing of sorts has been around for a lot longer than the Walts, track 5 please" Budgin said turning to Sash, she switched it to that song and a more upbeat song came on, Budgin broke into a more funkier dance and even though we were laughing we clapped for him aswell,

it was more shocked laughter from me, Budgin finally stopped and we all cheered for him, I looked at Bolton and laughed "You should see you're face" I said loud enough for him to hear, he gave me a surprised look "That was nuts" he said motioning to the floor, I nodded "I know" I said shaking my head.

The bell had rung signalling the end of school, I knew what I had to do, and I wasn't all that thrilled about it "I need to speak to yah" I said to Paul, he nodded and followed me round back "What is it?" he asked, I sighed and wrung my hands nervously "I'm gonna tell Bolton" I said, his eyes widened "When?" he asked, I gave him a look "Next week, what do you think?" I exclaimed in annoyence, he nodded and took my hands "You wanna do it together or what?" he asked, I thought for a moment

"I'll do it on my own, at least that way I know he won't kill you, I'll wait till we get 'ome and then I'll tell 'im, god I hope this goes well" I said more to myself "Eh, don't worry Kace, even if he does kill me I won't stay away from ya" he said resting his forehead on my own, I sighed and nodded.

I got home and found Bolton watching T.V, I put my bag and jacket on the banister before sittin next to him "Heyya Bro" I said, he nodded in greeting "You aright?" he asked, I nodded and it was quiet for a moment, I decided to brake the silence "Uh, so, I have to talk to yah" I said nervously, he faced me and nodded "I need your permission to go out with someone" I said getting straight to it, his mouth widened a little bit and he cleared his throat "Do I know this lad?" he asked, I gulped quietly "Mhmm" I replied, he nodded

"So, who is he?" he asked turning to look at the T.V, I knew it was now or never "Paul" I said wincing a bit as I said it, I saw Bolton release a breath of relief "Thank fuck" he said, I watched him in confusion "I don't mind 'im" he said noticing my face "But I thought you didn't want me flirtin with him" I said, he rolled his eyes "I'm your brother, I'm gonna be dodgy about you flirtin with everyone Kace, but I'm glad you asked me first" he said, I nodded "So you ain't gonna kill him?" I asked hopefully, he chuckled "Nah, I know your safe with 'im and I know he'll treat yah right" he said reasuringly,

I mentally thanked god "Thank fuck" I said out loud, he chuckled again "What were you stressin or somethin?" he asked, I nodded "Yeah, I didn't know how to tell yah" I said "Nah don't worry about it Kace, now go call Langers, he's probs stressin as much as you" Bolton said, I laughed and stood up "Your the best Bolt, I love yah" I said turning to him, he nodded "Yeah you too sis, now go call yah new boyfriend" he said, I chuckled and took my phone out of my bag before running upstairs in excitement.
