Chapter 11:- I hate him so much.

The whole dance studio was noisy. Everyone were looking around to see if there was any other person whom they didn't notice, that hasn't auditioned.

They were so focused on finding the person that they didn't notice, a tall figure walk towards Mrs Rogers.

As they all looked confusedly around the dance studio, they heard a deep charming voice ring through out the dance studio.

"Hi, everyone, I am Dave Richardson"

Everyone turned to the direction of the voice.

There and then, right before their eyes was a gorgeous man, with a cute smile on his lips, as his arrogant aura filled the room.

They were all amazed at the appearance of this guy that they were shot of words.

Soon, the studio was filled with commotion.

How could someone be that handsome?

Soon all eyes were on him. They just couldn't take their eyes off him.

He wore grey joggers and a white round neck T-shirt, which exhibited his well built body.

"He is so cute. How could someone that cute be a dancer?" A girl who was enticed by his looks couldn't help but speak out.

Another girl who heard her remarks replied. "What's wrong with him being a dancer? Is dancing meant for ugly people?" She replied obviously angry.

A guy who was listening on their conversation walked up to them and said. "Well, girls, it's not like he's that handsome."

His words were greeted with stares all around him.

It turns out that more people were listening on them.

Just how could they just stand for a guy whom they just met? Why is life so cruel. It would have taken him weeks to woo one girl in this dance group.

But how could a guy just walk in and make all the girls drool over him?

Damilola who was deep in thoughts heard a deep and familiar voice say, "Hi, I am Dave Richardson".

Hearing that, she turned subconsciously to the direction of the voice.

Immediately she turned, her eyes met with a pair of angelic but arrogant eyes.

"How could this be? What the heck was he doing here?" She said in thoughts.

He looked at her with an arrogant smile as she stared confusedly at him.

Damilola subconsciously walked towards the person.

After Dave said his name, his eyes were focused on Damilola.

Noticing her shocked expression, he gave her an arrogant and provoking smile, with a self satisfactory look boldly written on his face.

As she walked towards him, he prayed hopefully, that she won't do anything stupid.

Immediately Damilola was face to face with him, the look of confusion on her face changed to that of disdain and disgust.

She walked towards him with her fingers pointed at him.

"You! You! It definitely is you. What do you think you are doing right now? Are you following me?" Damilola said in a loud voice drawing all attention to her.

"I don't get you miss". He replied.

"Oh! Really? Now you don't know me?" She said once again enveloped in anger.

Dave scoffed and said "I think you got the wrong person." He then leaned closer to her and said "An eyesore like you isn't worth a remembrance from me."

She opened her mouth widely. She couldn't believe he said that to her. He was such a jerk. Of course what did she expect? Damilola felt so embarrassed. How would she explain this to all this people? No one would believe her.

She stared at him in anger. Oh! She really hated this guy.

Damilola turned around slowly. She knew that she was in for it. Finally turning around, she met different types of glares focused on her. Though those glares were all different, they had something in common, which was, 'disgust'.

Hups, they felt disgust for her? Because of a guy they just met? Well, she couldn't blame them, she just walked up to a guy and accused him of following her. Though it was true there was no way she could prove it to all this people before her.

Thinking of that, she decided to keep quiet, as she turned towards Mrs Rogers. She could endure the glares of all this people, but she definitely can't bear to get Mrs Rogers angry.

Damilola, seeing how angry Mrs Rogers looked as she stared at her, began to walk up to her.

This was purely a misunderstanding. Hope this woman won't chase her away?

Mrs Rogers asked Damilola to follow her, after instructing that the audition should continue.

Damilola's legs were shaking as she followed Mrs Rogers. She certainly didn't forget to give Dave a glare that could kill if it were to be a knife.

Contrary to how angry she felt, Dave was enjoying every bit of what she was facing. He gave her a smile in return, after her glare. This made Damilola grit her teeth so hard that it was about to pull off.

In Mrs Rogers's office, she was urged to sit. Damilola sat down nervously. What on earth was she going to tell this woman?

She was actually followed. Why won't anyone believe her?

Mrs Rogers sat on her office chair behind her office desk, as she gave Damilola a look that stated, "What do you think you are doing?"

Damilola couldn't help but feel intimidated by this look. Mrs Rogers has been so nice to her, she had never witnessed this side of her.

"I am sorry, I can explain." Damilola said in fear.

"Okay, I am listening." Mrs Rogers replied.

Damilola was surprised, she actually didn't have anything to say. She actually thought Mrs Rogers wouldn't listen to her.

She was expecting Mrs Rogers to say "Oh! Don't give me that. What is there for you to explain?" Like it was always done in movies.

She actually got one part of it wrong, this wasn't a movie but reality and she needed to face it like it was reality.

Damilola smiled as she started to think silently of an excuse.

Thinking so hard, she couldn't come up with any other excuse but the truth, so, she began to talk.

"When I went to the bookshop to get a book, I saw him. The book you wanted was the last one available, and he took it from me and paid for it. That's why I came late for the audition. I had to go to the other bookshop which was thirty minutes away from here." Damilola explained.

Mrs Rogers stared at her for a while. The girl didn't look like she was lying, but she has known Dave all his life. This didn't seem like something he could do.

Mrs Rogers calmed herself down for a while and said, "Go back for now, I will get back to you."

Damilola's whose joy knew no bounds jumped up from her seat and thanked her heartily, as she walked out.

On getting back to the studio, Dave was already rounding off his dance. He was dancing to a song titled "Kiss kiss by Chris Brown ft T.pain.

She had to confess that he was crazily good. He was on a completely different level than every other person here. His skills were perfect. This was the best hip hop dancer she had ever met in her entire life.

Everyone's eyes were stuck to him. Most especially the girls. They were shrieking as he danced. He looked so pleasing to the eye, as they watched him. Any girl could fall in love.

Damilola watched him so intensely that she didn't notice when he flipped towards her, she just saw him in front of her, as he smirked at her. He smirked at her. The bastard smirked at her. He had the guts to. He was so disgusting.

Soon, his dance came to an end. The judges didn't waste any more time, since it was getting late already.

They soon began to announce those who will stay.

Damilola was so scared out of her wits, as she listened to the judges give their speech.

"So, I just want to confess that, you all did well. It was so obvious that you tried your best today. So, if you don't get to be a member of the groomers, always know that it is not because you are not a good dancer but because sometimes your best might not be enough." Mrs Rogers said.

"Yeah, you just have to go home and put in your best into your dance and never give up." Mrs Bordeaux continued.

Mr Roland being someone who rarely said much went straight to the point. "So, since it's getting late, we would go straight to the names."

Soon, three people were sent home.

The judges went on to mention more people. Soon it remained only four spots. Ten had already been chosen. Three kicked out. There were still nine people, five more still had to go.

Damilola began to shiver. Her legs became numb. She really didn't want her dance journey to end here.

While her mind was in turmoil, the judges proceeded in calling the remaining members who will fill the four spots.

"Barbara Walter, congratulations, you are now a member." Mrs Bordeaux said.

Barbara being someone who was full of herself, wasn't surprised. She was sure she would make it to the team.

Damilola didn't have time to think about Barbara's attitude, she was more focused on being a member of the team.

"Karen Bliss, congratulations, you made it also." Mr Roland said, with a charming smile. Karen who couldn't believe it, screamed in excitement. This was her dream come through.

Karen was the hip hop dancer from earlier. Damilola wasn't surprised that Karen made the team either, she was a good dancer. She and Barbara were the one's who had her threatened the most.

"Dave Richardson, welcome to the team, Mr Roland said once again."

Dave replied him with a smile. He looked like he wasn't surprised. Well, with a talent like his, the judges of the groomers would be too blind if they didn't choose him.

"The last spot, goes to no other person but....." Mrs Bordeaux announced, pausing to see everyone's reaction as she kept them in suspense.

She smiled and continued. "I must confess that this person's dance was just perfect. Her style, her emotions, everything was intact. Her dance was the best today."

Hearing this, the remaining guys hoping to get in gave up hope.

"Well, anyways, to cut the long story short, the last spot, goes to Alexandra Hall."
