Her grace can't save you now.
Three.
I opened up my locker only for a small piece of white paper to fall out and land on the floor at my feet. I bent down and picked it up opening it up I saw a few words written on the paper.
Why won’t you dance with me?
I rolled my eyes and shoved it in my back pocket, I grabbed my chemistry textbook and made my way to the lab, preparing myself to endure an hour long lecture about covalent bonds and how they form. Yay.
When Chemistry was over I made my way outside and collapsed down onto the grass with Matt who had his head buried in a math textbook, kid was a massive nerd. I sat with him in silence until Brian and Jimmy appeared, Jimmy tackling Matt to the floor and pulling him out of the math trance he was currently in.
“Dude you get so absorbed in that shit”
“Sorry” He shut the book.
“It’s cool”, I pulled out a cigarette and lit it up, I blew out smoke rings and watched them float away. I lay back on the grass and shut my eyes. I only opened them again when Jimmy let out a low whistle and someone blocked the sunlight from my face. I opened my eyes and saw her standing there in skinny jeans and a misfits shirt. “If you’re gonna ask me to dance with you again I’ve already told you no”
“But why?! You’re good!” She flopped down next to me, crossing her legs. I leaned up on my elbows.
“Because I’m a guitarist, not a dancer, and I’m only good with my hands”
“Yeah his fingers especially” Brian snickered, I shot him a glare.
“But you picked up that routine so quick and you’re the only one that can actually do the lifts
right”
“I’m not doing it”
“But yo—“
“I’ll do it” We all turned to look at Matt. He was looking at Darcy.
“What?”
“Yeah I’ll do it, I used to do it as a kid it can’t be that hard to pick up again”
“Oh yeah I remember that!” Jimmy laughed “Your mom has all those pictures of you in leotards”
“Yeah” His cheeks flushed and he ducked his head.
“See there you go, Matt said he’ll do it”
“But I don’t even know if he can dance”
“Well go with him now then and find out”
“Matt?” She looked over at him.
“Yeah I’ve got a free period now” He said
“Okay come on then I don’t have all day” She got up and motioned for him to follow her. He shoved his book in his bag and followed her.
“Wanna go watch them?” Jimmy asked a wicked grin on his face.
“Yeah could be interesting.
