Next Day- Dance Class

The girls in the locker room seemed to be super excited when changing into their dancing clothes. Nancy thought it was a bit strange, I mean, she was a bit excited too, but nothing compared to the squealing girls beside her, changing clothes as their lives depended on it. Nancy ended up being the last one to leave the locker room. Upon entering the dancing studio (it was a classroom, but a huge one compared to other schools she has been in.) her eyes came across familiar brown ones, she gasped, surprised to see him there, yes you guessed it, it is none other than the 'Mr. Fix It', 'Psychic', Max. (completely forgetting he had just told her yesterday that they had danced together.)

Max noticed her surprise, of course, since his eyes were on her as soon as she walked in, anxious to greet her and sit beside her, ignoring the attention from the other girls. Once he stood right in front of her (her eyes also never left his once they had eye contact as if they were the only two in the room.) He laughed, "Looks like you're surprised to see me. Was I the only one happy to have dance class together?" Her surprised look turned into a happy one as they sat together.

The Teacher, walked in right as that sat down, not allowing Nancy to answer his question. But Max didn't really care seeing how she smiled and happily sat beside him. (Yep, once he sees her smiling face, he can care less about anything that happened or that was said before.) This caused a commotion in the classroom. No one knew of their friendship, which caused mixed feelings in class. The girls, who were eyeing Max, were upset that his eyes were glued on the Newbie. Some guys were in awe in how not only did it seem like Max and the Newbie were close, but her transformation from homey girl to curvy girl. A few of Max's friends were just laughing at everyone's reactions, especially since the two in question were acting as if no one else was there. Although, they did seem a bit surprised to see Nancy's curvy body as well. (Nancy is wearing her pink leotard again, but with white tights, instead of leggings, and her hair in a tight bun....basically looking like a ballerina, without the tutu.)

The Teacher told everyone to quiet down and to take a seat. By now, the girls and boys have all mingled together sitting on the dance floor. Max's friends, also ended up sitting around Max and Nancy. The Teacher explained that they will warm up before she gives everyone a number from one to five. Once they receive their number they will gather along the wall. (She explained, pointing to where each group is to be gathered.)

Of course, Max and Nancy were split into different groups, since they were next to each other when given the numbers. Max didn't mind though, since he knew that this was just to separate beginners from non-beginners. And that after this he will be with Nancy once again. While the Teacher was getting the song and choreography together for the groups to perform. One of Max's male friends that is in Nancy's group asked her if she has danced before, she simply said yes. Another boy in the group wasn't so nice though, calling Nancy, Little Ms. Thumbelina. The two girls in the group laughed together with him as he called her Little Ms. Thumbelina. Nancy just ignored him and started a conversation with Max's friend. The bully isn't used to being ignored, but before he could say anything else, the Teacher clapped her hands to get everyone's attention.

She explained that she will show everyone how to perform a small dance. Then the groups will take the center stage one by one and perform it to the best they can. Making sure to explain that this was not to be graded, but just to see what everyone can do. Max's smile never left his face. He actually couldn't wait to be over with this and to be put in their permanent​ groups. As the Teacher finished the short dance steps, you could hear some students moan, some asking her if she can show them again when it is their group's turn, while Nancy closed her eyes replaying the Teachers movements in her head over and over again, so she won't forget. Nancy knew she had some time before their group was called since her group was last. Max, though was part of group number one.

************************

After his group finished, he went to Nancy's group. He said hi to his friend and Nancy, then the bully, told Max, that her name is Thumbelina. Max looked at the bully, then back at Nancy, smiled and said softly.....you could say it almost sounded loving, surprising everyone.., "Thumbelina". Nancy's face started to turn pink when she heard him call her Thumbelina so sweetly. The bully, Nick, was dumbfounded. He wanted to tease the petite beauty (you could say it's the boy teases the girl he likes, kind of thing.) not have her blush from another guy calling her that. The two girls in the group were in awe of things got turned around, as well as Max's friend. Max's friend knew right then and there she was taken.

Finally, it was Group number fives turn. Everyone, except for Max was amazed at how Nancy perfected the dance moves. She even did it while smiling, not shedding any sweat (mind you, they were warming up before, so most students were already sweating, some even tired by the time they finished the dance moves. After all, it was just the beginning of the school year, so most students lacked in stamina.)

When finished, Nancy walked straight to Max, smiling just as he was. He pulled her into a hug...she didn't refuse, instead hugged him back. When they parted he explained that they will be in the same group from now on. She was happy that she would be in his group. Nick was ticked off though, since he gave a lousy performance, being distracted by Nancy's blushing face as he danced.

The Teacher went over her notes and divided the class into two groups, and just like Max said, Nancy was in the same group as him.
