Chapter 6: Deskmate to Lovers ( 6 )

Taylor POV:

Taylor: The amount of things I was doing was endless I was really busy. Lately I felt that i would die. I not only had to take classes, but also had to go to the job after school. And at lunch, I had to practice dancing. In my spare time, Lucia and I did some practical exercises to boost our mind even though most of the time I was flirting with her. From time to time, I would hear people gossiping behind my back, but I turned a blind eye to it.

And finally, the New Year's party came.

Both me and Camilla have a act to play, which happen to be dance. Mine is a personal ballet, while Camilla is a group dance.

Of the two, Mine is played first.

When the lights dimmed, and the spotlight hit the light blue skirt in the middle of the stage.

I caught Lucia`s figure in the crowd, I saw her serious eyes, It helped me stabilized my mind, I started to listen to the music, and danced intently following the music beat.

The most perfect dance, to become the most amazing person, this is what Lucia wants me to become.

The teachers and students of the school seemed to like my dancing. I wanted to show people that I have not given up. I wanted to mesmerize them with my dancing show them even in bad times I can shine brightly.

Camilla stood in the crowd and looked at me, I bet she couldn't help but be jealous, even if I was not Miss Stone, one a random action was still better than her. I won`t let her succeed.

Once on the stage, I couldn't help but immerse myself with the music. I had always loved dancing it was a hobby that I connected with.

I myself feel that I performed exceptionally, and I bet Lucia also would say that I has really performed very well. When I stopped, the audience was quiet for five seconds, and there was a warm applause that followed.

I went backstage and was suddenly being pulled by Lucia when I was about to enter the dressing room.

"Lucia, how was my dancing?"

Lucia took my hand and we stood in the corner to not obstruct the people passing by, and then nodded, "The best person tonight was you."

"Then I'm going to change clothes first and meet you at the classroom." I was praised and very happy right now so even though we are going to study I was not unhappy. I turned around, but Lucia quickly pulled me, "I've brought you your clothes out, there are many people inside, so let`s go change somewhere else."

I didn't insist. In fact, I didn't want to meet those people. My former friends who used to hang out with me. In fact I am happy to learn about their true nature.

Lucia took me out from the backstage. Her lips were bent gently. When I occasionally glanced at her, I always felt that Lucia seemed to be up to something.

Lucia is the person I like so I probably did not care deep inside my heart that she might be a bad person.

I shook my head quickly, wasn't it important? The important thing was that I liked Lucia very much, even if the two of us were together because of a Camilla. I am somewhat grateful

Camilla: "Why are my dance costumes gone?"

A panic sound suddenly sounded in the dressing room, "Have you seen my dance costume? I'm going to perform soon," Camilla's panicked voice could be heard, "Could you please help me find it, please?"

"Camilla, don't worry, we will find it for you immediately."

Everyone searched around, but still couldn't find it.

Finally, I don't know who said it, "Was it not Taylor who finished first and went to the dressing room? With her hating Camilla, maybe she really hid it?."

"Yes, it is likely that Taylor did it."

While I was with Lucia flirting and doing homework I was oblivious to the impending accusations heading my way.
