Chapter 5


"Wait let me get this straight you and Robin were supposed to go on a date but he back last second because of reasons and now you guys have a plan to see each other today at 7?" I asked giving my recap of what Airy had just told me, Richard Grayson.

"Yeah basically. Hey do you think I'm doing this move right? it doesn't feel right. Should I be turn to my right instead of my left?" she asked with a look of confusion on her face.

"Your foot should be positioned here. I think that's why it's uncomfortable." I said bringing her foot to her knee. "Just like that. Now try spinning." She did as I told her and spun around. "How did it feel?" I asked when she finished.

"It felt better than before. Thank you." She said with a soft smile. We didn't talk much after that. Actually we didn't talk through out the whole dance class. I think she is worried about her date with Robin. She believes I don't care because I cancelled. I shouldn't have cancelled. I just couldn't get myself to go for thee first time in a long time I was actually scared. I was scared to go out with her because if I was not what she wanted she would through me out like a piece of garbage and forget about me. After all that's what happens when people fall in love. I see it all the time in school, on the streets, its everywhere. People take the chance of being forgotten and lonely everyday to be honest it's got to be one of the scariest thing that could happen to people, falling love.

I smile at Ariel as she dances. She is so beautiful. She's perfect in every way whether it's her looks, her dancing, her voice, or the way she walks. When she walked she never looked back like she never regretted taking that last step. She didn't regret anything at all. She was proud of what she had done or at least that's what it looks like on the outside. Nobody really knows what she is like when everybody is sleeping. Is she also sleeping or is she crying because she doesn't want anybody to know? I never thought of her like this before but standing here I can see there is much more about her that I do not know. I always thought that she was a happy young woman but what if it's an act?

"Hey you have to try it out now and then we'll do it together. Ok?" Ariel came up to me after she finished the dance for the show.

"Yeah. Can you start the music?" I asked calmly as if I was not just think about who she really is. I don't even know if I can go out tonight. I might lose my cool and just demand for answers but that's not me at all honestly Robin lose his cool? Yeah like that's gonna happen. I smirked a little.

"Are you ready?" she asked. I nodded yes and then the music filled the room. 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8. I counted in my head and that was my queue to start moving. Since she had started the music exactly 8 counts before the chorus. This way I had time to position myself. Walk left then right. Stop. Lift the left leg be hind you. Pause. Bring it down fix to fifth. Prepare. Spin. Land. Left arm up, then right arm up. Pause. Arms down and walk left then right. I had to lift Ariel at this part but I guess I'll have to fake it. Lift and walk left and then right. Bring her down and hold 4 counts. Look away from her and then look back. Hold her hips as she spins. Lift again. Bring her down. Take her hands and ballroom dance for 10 counts landing canter stage. The music stops but that's not the end of the dance. We both still have more to learn before the show.

"How did it go?" I asked her.

"You did great." She said taking my hands. "I can't wait until the recital we are going to be fantastic. I just know it!" she exclaimed.

"You're right we will be fantastic." I said not as cheerful as she was. Which was strange because a minute ago she was quiet and sad looking. This is another act or was the sad face an act? There is just so much I do not know about you, Ariel Oliver.

"Bruce?" I asked the man standing in front of the bat computer.

"Yes Robin?" the man questioned me.

"Ummm…you see I…. kind of …I…. I can't go uhhhh tonight."

"Why? Is it homework?"

"No, no, no. I uhhh I kind of…. I have…a date."

"Oh you do and with whom may I ask?" he wanted an answer.

"With Ariel. You know the girl from my dance classes."

"Looks like Dick Grayson's got himself a girlfriend." He chuckled.

"Yeah see there's the problem." I looked down at my feet attempting to hide my guilty face.

"What's the problem?" he asked slightly got off guard.

"The date isn't with Dick. It's with Robin." I said blankly.

"Does she know who Robin actually is?" he asked.

"No. She just knows Robin she doesn't know Dick and Robin are one in the same." I replied.

"Then I don't see what the problem is as long as you don't reveal your identity. I don't really see a problem also no one can see you guys together there for you can not go to restaurants or any public places. The media can't know about this."

"Great another secret to add to my book." I roll my eyes.

"That's just the way of the game kid." He said.
