It was the third time Lola asked Aria a question and received no response. The girl seemed to be on a fancy trip somewhere out of planet Earth.“Earth to Aria!”, Lola shouted. “What the hell are you thinking about?”Aria stared back at her without a word.Lola repeated the question she had asked,” What kind of boyfriend gives his girlfriend a job to do? Can you even believe that guy?.”It was nighttime already. After a stressful day of rigorous practicing, Corey had let the group off early. They had chosen to spend the evening eating popcorn and ice cream in their living room while watching a movie that Lola selected. “How is it possible that you keep messing up your dance steps only after we joined the crew?”, Aria blurted out of nowhere, making Lola’s popcorn-filled hand halt mid-air.“You know? I can’t seem to take my mind off it.” Aria continued. “You have always been the best at dancing. I mean even better than me for as long as I’ve known you, Lola.. you breathe dance, you live

Lola could not stop thinking about him. About Noah and everything that he had said to her. By the time she walked into Fame Hall’s building, Her eyes were already red and puffy. She had asked John to drop her off at the agency after Noah left the restaurant. Almost bumping into Chloe and her minions in the hallway, Lola swore inwardly and questioned her luck. She tried to walk past them but was stopped by Chloe who was too excited to see her. “Easy there tomboy, where are you coming from dressed up looking that way?...”, Chloe paused looking carefully at Lola’s dress, She tried to find a thing to make fun of.. but surprisingly the girl in front of her looked unresistingly beautiful and ...... different. But Chloe would rather break a leg than compliment Lola. “You look ugly, as always.”, Chloe mumbled, eyeing Lola jealously.Lola completely forgot that she was still putting on the dress she wore to the restaurant. She wasn’t in the mood to banter with the girls and luckily for her,

Bang!Her action was too fast! The guy cried out in pain and abruptly released his hold on Lola’s arm to hold on to his hurting lower part while uttering an inaudible chain of swear. Soon enough, the door to the balcony opened and the rest, who had been initially occupied with their game rushed in. They had heard the guy scream.“Is everything alright out here?.. Lola? Sam??” Dawn, the host for the night was concerned. They were confused and didn’t know what to make of the picture in front of them. “Sam?.”Sam, the jerk was bending over in pain still swearing, he looked pale. Lola, on the other hand, had helped herself up from the floor before they came in. She stood in a corner dressed in camouflage pants, a grey crop top, and white sneakers. Her red hair was packed in a loose bun on the top of her head. She gently hit the dust off her hands. Seeing Aria coming over, she walked to meet her halfway. Lola turned to face Dawn. She let out an awkward smile and apologized “I’m sorry w

“We don’t have all the time in the world to practice Clara. We have to join the others soon...quit playing around and let’s get to work..”Josh said pissed off at Chloe’s silly attempts to seduce him. Girls like this were the ones he hated associating with the most. Like the lady in front of him.. shameless, wearing thick makeup and very skimpy wear. She had been putting on joggers when he entered, he wondered when she switched them for a skirt that looked short enough to be an underwear.Hearing his obvious attempt to irk her by pretending to forget her name, Chloe’s eyes squinted. “My name is Chloe Love, not Clara,” She said and moved even closer to him. A girl’s got to try. You don’t get a good chance like this every day. For once, Corey’s arrangement benefited her and Chloe planned to make the most of this opportunity. But this guy was different from the type of men she was used to. He was the difficult type and she knew she had to take it easy on him. “Too bad though..”, she mut

Friday Evening, The Performance Day.Rosewood, New York.Rosewoods Dance Theater. All major dance agencies in and out of Rosewoods and all over New York were present. Every year, the hip-hop departments of many dance agencies came together to perform on stage as a form of truce. It was simply termed a “performance”.. but deep down, in the hearts of everyone present, they all knew it was a “competition”. It was no news that this was the debut stage for the top dancers in the industry. It was therefore a presentation of complicated routines, a show of talents and nerve-cracking creativity to show which agency has what it takes to be the undefeated king of hip hop. There were only two rules, one was for each dance group to be complete with not more or less than ten group members, and two was for a peaceful performance. There must be no incidence of fight between members of the dance groups as their respective agencies would be banned from any performances at the dance theater in the f
