The next chapter! Finally! Here it is!
Chapter 2~ Alex
As he stepped away from Kelly, Alex quietly cursed himself. What a klutz! Kelly moved as though she were weightless while he, Alex, had stomped around like an elephant! Hadn’t he learned anything in nine years of dance?
“Wow,” Kelly murmured. “What?” said Alex. She looked at him, awestruck. “You’re an incredible dancer.” Alex rolled his eyes. “What, are you fishing for compliments? You’re tons better than me!” Kelly rolled her eyes and grinned, “Quit being modest!” Alex laughed threw his hands up in the air. “I give up! Let’s listen to our music and get started on our choreography.” “Good idea,” said Lena, from the doorway. “How long have you been there?” asked Alex nervously. “I caught the tail end of your dance. You two work spectacularly together!” Alex gave Kelly a sideways grin which she returned with a glowing smile.
For the rest of their class, the two worked on their choreography. When 8:00 rolled around, Lena called the senior dancers to one classroom. “Alright guys, excellent work tonight. I saw some real progress. Keep it up! Now I know you all like working together, but for the sake of getting these dances together by April 16, I’m assigning each pair a certain time each evening.” The four dancers groaned. “But Lena,” Kevin began, “I won’t have any time to tease Alex about his total lack of muscle.” Alex grinned. He and Kevin were best friends. “Yeah Lena, I mean, someone has to make sure Kevin doesn’t fall over from the weight of his enormous head!” Lily, the other dancer and Kelly’s buddy, laughed and whacked Kevin on the head. “No worries Alex, I’ll watch this one for you!” Kevin smiled and put his arm around Lily. He sighed, “Well, I guess as long as I have Lily I’ll try to survive…” Lily leaned in to Kevin. The two had been dating for a few weeks. Kelly rolled her eyes. “Oh bring me a barf bucket you two!” Alex laughed. “Don’t worry Kel, I’ll save you from the swollen headed monster!”
Lena broke into the conversation, laughing. “Sorry to interrupt this little love fest, but you all have to get out of here before your parents come in here and yell at me. So, Lily and Kevin will practice from four to six each evening, and Alex and Kelly will be from six to eight. Does that work for everyone?” No one objected, so Lena let them go.
Alex and Kevin walked to the boys’ changing room together. Alex’s thoughts were in turmoil. When he and Kelly had been dancing, he’d felt something…odd. It was hard to describe…he’d felt flashes of it for her before, but never as intense. It was, he decided, a pleasant feeling. Very pleasant. It was almost like…a combination of all the good things he’d ever felt. Then the realization hit him like a thunderbolt.
He was in love.
So! That's it. Please leave me ocmments, besides the fact that that was the whole point of setting up this blog in the first place, it makes me so happy. :) You know you love me, so LEAVE ME A DAMN COMMENT. That is all. Thank you.

That's really good. Accurate from the dancing perspective. Partering is hard and you capture their moves relly well. I wish I went to a studio where everyone was that nice. haah. Chapter 3?
