Kate waved me over to where she sat, but as I took a step to head over a girl purposely set her legs in front of me and I tripped, falling face flat to the floor and the people in the hall chuckled loudly.
I couldn’t get up from where I was, not because of the pain of crashing to the floor, but the embarrassment I felt deep inside and no one had come to save me from falling, there was always a man in movies who would rush in and hold the lady, but this was not a movie, this was reality.
“Hey, Ivana are you alright?” Kate rushed over to my side and for a moment I wanted to keep quiet, but I knew I shouldn’t make Kate worried so I nodded even if my head felt sore. “I will help you up.
Kate did and I looked over at the corner of the room where Robin and the other’s sat, Robin was staring at me with his hands folded across his chest. ‘Asshole’ I cursed him in my head.
He should have come and caught me. I sighed, I was forgetting he knew nothing about love, but he does watch movies, doesn't he?
You are not his girlfriend, so wake up from your dreams.
I looked over at Hinn, who was my boyfriend but he was not staring at me. He seems to be lost in his thoughts to have noticed the loud laughter and embarrassment his girlfriend was facing right now.
I turned to the girl who had purposely set her leg to make me fall with a frown. “Sorry, I only found out today my legs are too long.” The girl said mockingly, making the others laugh as well and my hands curled into fists.
“Ignore them,” Kate whispered, she could tell my blood was boiling at the moment. “Remember the rule 2 of this practice.”
I shut my eyes as I remembered the stupid rule 2 which says no fighting in the hall else you would be disqualified from participating.
Fucking rules!
I walked over to the place where Kate had reserved for us and I sat down with her before rubbing my forehead.
“Are you okay?” I heard a voice beside me and turned to see who it was just to see Ryan looking at me.
What the heck is this boy doing here?
“Don’t ask, if you cared you would have caught me when I was about to fall,” I said with gritted teeth and he sniggered. “You find it funny?”
“Yes, why should I catch you when Hinn Carlos who is your supposed boyfriend is right over there, I know this must also be Robin’s thoughts that is why he didn’t catch you when you fell, but then, this is also reality and not a movie, I hope you get whatever imaginations you are thinking out of your mind right now.”
I furrowed my brow, honestly, this boy was getting on my nerves.
“You are not a princess, neither are you the main lead, whereas if we were in a movie, you would die first because the eyes staring at you right now could burn you alive, look around,” Ryan told me and I glanced around, just like he said, I was being glared at.
“So you should be glad you are in reality and not in a movie.” He smirked.
Why does a part of me want this boy dead or gone from this school just like Katherine does?
“Why the heck are you sitting among us and not over there with Hinn Carlos and the others?” My brows creased and I was glad when the smile on Ryan’s face vanished as he turned to look over at Hinn Carlos and the other boys, but the smiles returned when he looked at me.
“Let’s just say we are outcast.” He smirked.
“What? Who are you referring to as we?” I raised my brows.
“Who else, you and me,” He pointed from me to him with a grin.
“I am not an outcast.” I raised my voice and noticed some heads turning to us. “I am not an outcast,” I said in a whisper but Ryan scoffed.
“Take it or leave it you are, a lot of these girls don’t want you here, mine is different since these people want me here apart from a few, but yours.” Ryan shook his head. “I feel for you.” He looked away from me after giving me the pitying gaze.
I bit down my lips and was about to attack him with words when I heard the entrance door open and the director walked in followed by two ladies.
“Good afternoon everyone.” He called out and we all responded to the greeting. “Today, we have two new female choreography teachers, they will teach you the basics of the show, act ii and act ii.” Director Donald paused and looked at us before turning to the two teachers. “Carry on.” He moved back as they stepped forward.
“Hi everyone, I will start by introducing myself to you all, I am Ava and this is my assistant Chloe, we would both teach you all that you have to know about choreography, are you all aware of the basics?” She asked as she looked around the hall.
The one name Ava has blonde long hair and she was kind of elderly and matured, she looked like a lady in her early thirties, but Chloe looks beautiful, she has a straight pointed face and dark eyes that were not like my ugly blue eyes, her hair was brown and her lips were pink, she has a good body shape that was fit, main looking at her, one can tell that she was a good dancer.
I glanced over at Ryan, he was not staring at them, rather he was staring at Katherine who has her hands raised like she had something to say, since Ryan was not staring at them, I glanced over at Hinn, he still seems lost in thoughts and I wonder what was bothering him, but I was glad he was not having that wistful eyes.
Then I took a glimpse at Robin and immediately turned my head forward. Why is he staring at me with such looks in his eye?
