Kaycee: Just Do It

Friday

Lunch

And the eating area was noticeable not as loud and rowdy as it usually is, and it's due to the school being in its first real competition setting and nerves were prominent

"Everyone seems stressed out about this dance competition thing," Kenneth said as he and Bailey joined everyone at the table

"You're one to talk you're not doing it at all!" Charlize said

"Yeah, my style isn't... competition viable," Kenneth said as Charlize rolled her eyes "Besides you five are the real dancers"

"I'm not a dance student either" Josh commented

"How's everyone's performance going?" Bailey said shifting the topic focus "I'm still trying to create something but I think I'm going to stay solo since my boyfriend doesn't want to dance with me"

"Don't say it like that" Kenneth said "I would just hold you back"

"Not true," Bailey said as the group had the sense this was a recurring conversation

"I got offered to join a contemporary group so that should be fun, contemporary should stand out amongst all the hip hop entries," Charlize said

"I'm trying to make a hip-hop group dance but it's harder than I thought, I got the people it's actually choreographing which is hard," Josh said "Doesn't help Julian wants me in his freestyle group when he should be asking Sean"

"I already told him no which is why he's going after you so heavy," Sean said

"What about the new dynamic duo? Kaycee decide yet?" Josh asked

"Decide what?" Bailey said as her and Kenneth out of the loop

"Kaycee didn't want to do it for some reason," Charlize said "Never explained her real reason"

"Why not?" Kenneth asked

"..." Kaycee didn't say anything as all four pair of eyes were on her making her nervous

"You got to give them something" Sean whispered as she shook her head making him sigh "Millennium Arts High is Kaycee's old school"

"Oh!" a unanimous oh went across everyone's face

"Sean!" Kaycee said as Sean ignored her

"So, you have some reservations about going against your old school," Charlize said

"Which would include old friends, makes sense to me," Bailey said as Kaycee seemed surprised for how accepting they were

"Yeah you're still new too you haven't even done your Friday Night Jam, so it's probably best for you to just lay low this time around," Kenneth said

"But why didn't you say anything before? You think we would bully you into doing it?" Josh said

"No no!" Kaycee said "It's just..." she said as Sean gave her a reassuring smile "I didn't have the best experience at my old school and I rather not face them again so soon especially after leaving so suddenly"

"..."

"Alright we're going to bully her," Bailey said as Charlize, Josh, and Kenneth nodded

"What?" Kaycee said

"...Sounds like you're afraid and the best way to get over you fear is to face it head-on" Kenneth said

"Each of us had something we were or are afraid of doing and we're the best to tell you just do it," Bailey said
