I felt the sweat run down my brow, as I finished the last move of the dance. I stayed in place of the last pose waiting for my coach to tell us when we were good to move, I felt my bones and body ache from all the practice I’ve had from ballet.
“Perfect, bravo I say this is a wrap, relax.”
He said in a cheerful manner, I looked up at him and saw him smiling and clapping his hands. I smiled a little, calmed my breathing a little bit and relaxed my body stretching a little while standing and waiting for what my coach would do or say next. I watched him move his hands to signal for all of us to come to him, I walked over to him as the rest of the ballet dancers on my team did. I stood between 2 dancers and looked at the coach waiting for what he had to say.
“Perfect work everyone, Penelope and Chase beautiful solo dance, makes me shed a tear.”
I smiled and bowed my head to say thanks, while everyone complimented me and Chase just like coach did, I felt my cheeks turn pink a little from a blush for how well the solo was and the compliments from everyone. I looked at everyone smiling and clapping about the solo but piper no expression as usual no respect or congratulations for the solo, she seemed to have no interest in the solo I got or she just had no interest in me anymore. It’s funny we would know each other’s favorite color, food, show, but now its glances or glares from the other one but mainly her, I wish I knew what I did and how I could fix our friendship. I gave a quick look at her but soon returned my gaze to the coach, listening to him again.
“Remember guys practice, practice this is a huge performance it will be televised and showed to the world, so let’s make it our best, I will see you guys’ Thursday, make sure to eat up and rest, well let’s end here.”
He smiled while walking away, waving goodbye to us and walking towards other performers to go talk to them about the performance. I walked to the off right of the stage to grab my bag and put on my shoes. Before I was about halfway to my bag, I felt Chase coming up behind me to ask the same question again.
“Hey Penelope, I was wondering if we could go out.”
“Chase no for the last time, I’m not interested to date and being honest I’m not interested in you.”
I turned around looking at him and sighed, he always wanted to go out ever since the solo we got together, I don’t know if it was the looks or personality he fell for but I certainly didn’t like him. He had hazel eyes nice cut dirty blonde hair, he was fit and good looking but just not my type.
“you’re a great guy but no”
I turned back around and continued to walk to my bag and before I could, I knew Chase would beg to go out with me, at this point I could read him like a book. He just never gave up on asking me he was kind of like one of those annoying ads that keep popping up that you don’t want anymore.
“Please just give me a chance.”
I turned around to look at him again stopping where I’m at to look at him, I honestly wish he understand I didn’t want to date him and that there is someone there it’s not me.
“Now listen I’ve got to go Chase, I’m going somewhere nice with my parents tonight ok, I’m kind of in a rush.”
I knew I had to find something to lie about, so I could get him away and he didn’t have to keep begging to go out with me. I felt kind of bad but I also didn’t cause he’s been doing ever since the solo, I think he’s just thinking he could get with someone popular to up his fame, I knew if the paparazzi thought he got with a famous ballerina then it would be all over the place and he would get the fame he wanted.
