Chapter 3-Little games
"my turn and im not going easy" I jumped in with a kick turn and i threw it back. "and why are you beating around the bush" i started singing along and it was really embarrassing, i haven't danced in a long time. "why don't you say so!" I started doing a tik tok dance my nieces showed me, and it felt good to be on the stage again. "she's so good! her posture, her stance, and her movements" the boy was shocked at my dancing, and i was bright red. "Maddy calm down your only 19 years old" all the kids eyes sparkled, and dazzling. I stopped and jumped onto a bean bag, I was sweating so much from one dance.
"brings back good memories" i said reaching for the ceiling, April just smacked my head. "Now that's true, Maddsion Millers lead dancer at dance academy" April just loved to tease me, I washed the kids rushing to Caleb telling him how cool he is. "Caleb came the minute you called me, he came with this old man in a flash car" His dad is famous, soon a whole paparazzi is gonna attack us. "and you missed all of that when you slept with a guy" She whispered, i punched her hard. "we're in kindergarten!Keep your voice down." She laughed and started rubbing my head.
"kids i'm gonna cook pasta go play on the playground, Miss April is going to look after you" it's hard to believe but i did let her supervise, if that boys dad catches us leaving his kid outside unsupervised we're dead. "Miss Madison, can I ask you a question?" Caleb asked, he was so cute and adorable. "Can you teach me how to dance?" I'm not sure whether he asked or demanded, I quit dancing in my teenage years after my injury. "stop being silly Caleb, i was only joking around" he didn't look although convinced, i've never got up and danced for jump jam i just felt like it today.
"joking around? am i a joke to you?" "no i didn't mean it like that! i was just playing around" he's putting words in my mouth, i never meant to make him feel bad. "I'm not saying I don't want to teach you, but your dad is a great dancer," I smiled at him, and gently rubbed his cheek. "When you get home, ask him for lessons, i suck at dancing." I get it's natural to feel bad after they've lost, but he's asking me to teach him when his dad is famous for it. "I heard you and your friends chatting about Dance academy and you being the lead dancer" shit, were we that loud? Did he hear the part about the guy I slept with?
"Oh that was years before you were born, eavesdropping is bad you can even find out things you didn't want to know '' I nervously laughed, and continued cooking the pasta. "you are a good dancer, i found videos of you while i was playing outside" excuse me did i hear that right? did he do some background check on me! "okay look kid, i quit dancing years ago and im not going back anytime sooner" i sighed, he doesn't get it. his words aren't as limited as someone for his age is.
“Why not because I'm a kid!” and before i knew it he stormed out. “Hey what happened to him?” As much as I wanted to chase after him, I knew he wanted to be left alone. “He's asking me for dancing lessons” April turned her head sideways, as she looked me up and down. “I know you dropped dancing but the poor kid has been ignored his whole life” ignored? I know how that feels, still i can't just take back what i said. “Still, my days are way past over. I dropped dancing for a boy who never loved me” April looked down, as watched the kids outside the window.
“Dancing was always your special suit, you sang beautifully and danced hip hop, pop, jazz, and even did traditional dancing. You don't know how much I envy you” I looked her up and down and I said with no doubt “The girl who sleeps with any man she sees envys me huh” I laughed as she punched my shoulder hard. “Shut up Maddy!” we looked at each other and laughed, reminiscing of old times.
