Chapter 10: 9. Mirror Image
Wiping the sweat off my brow I look at myself thoroughly through the mirror, my chest heaves up and down heavily.
Having just finished dancing I am completely worn out, Mr. Gee made me and Nick work together for 'Bonding Time'.
To me I thought that was completely unnecessary, if he's as good as everyone claims then it shouldn't have been a problem picking up a routine.
Without his old partner it was a mess, it's safe to say we've stepped on each others feet about a million times.
Arguing with each other over who messed up and who didn't, eye rolls and stomping feet, at the end of the day it just got annoying.
Switching from being alone to having a partner was really hard, even if me and Jay danced together sometimes we were never a 'Pair'.
I don't know how I'm going to keep up with the constant bickering back and forth, I honestly don't think we're ever going to get along.
First of all he's way too annoying, second we don't work well together, and lastly all he does is pick on me and make fun of me every chance he gets.
Like what's up with that?
'Why did I have to move schools?'
Sighing loudly I look at the empty dance room through the mirror, turning around I lean against it, tilting my head back on the cold mirror it feels nice on my head.
My eyes take in the room, on my right side is the door for the entrance of the dance room, right next to it is another door.
There is a cut out on the dance room mirror for a door, The unknown door starts to peek my interest, pushing myself off of the mirror I walk towards it.
I wonder what it could be because when you go to enter the dance room there is a wall there, bringing my hand up I twist the knob.
Pushing it open I step inside, my eyes widen in shock, Gasping at the beautiful room.
When I open the door all the way I step inside, looking to the left I see another door, automatically I'm confused.
If there was a wall after the other one then why is there another door?
Walking over to it briskly I pull it open, stepping out of that door I look into another school hallway.
'Ohhh so it leads to the other half of the school, that's neat.'
Turning back around I step back inside that door, walking over to the beautiful black grand piano i sit down in the bench, Looking at it closely I see it has collected dust.
I'm guessing this room hasn't been used for quite a while now, looking up it faces towards the mirror, furrowing my brows I don't see my reflection in it.
Getting up I walk towards the mirror, taking it in I only see my bag on the floor, 'thats weird... I thought I left it in the dance roo-...'.
Shocked a smile plasters itself onto my face, I realized that it's a two way mirror, this mirror lets you see into the other room but the other rooms mirror acts like a regular one.
Walking through the door I go back into the dance room, grabbing my bag I look at the mirror.
'no one would ever know that the other mirror can see everything going on in the room.'

Walking quickly to the lunch room I pull my hair tie out of my hair, having tied it up for PE.
Back into my outfit I physically shudder at the mention of PE, it's not like I'm not 'Active', it's just I hate running and sports with a passion.
I mean I'm very good at sports but I'd rather not do it for fun, we didn't have a uniform for PE so we got to wear what we like.
When my eyes scanned over the gym the amount of girls butt cheeks I saw made me want to literally vomit.
Stepping inside of the lunch room I scan my eyes, in the middle of the lunchroom I saw a very big table, and guess who was sitting at it.
That's right no other than Nick himself, looking at the other people I saw the same three guys from the dance studio.
I'm guessing they are Nick's friends, looking across the table I see Lima Bean sitting next to Nick, with her stupid little clique of girls from 1st period study hall.
Groaning out I notice my sister Kay sitting with a couple of people towards my left, taking a step towards her to go sit with them someone immediately blocks my view.
"Hi you're that Shim girl right? From the studio..." caught off guard I stare at the boy, my eyebrows jump up as I remember him from my first day at the studio.
"Oh hey! You're the guy who stuck up for me right?" He smiles making his eyes crinkle as I come to realize him, gripping my hand he pulls me with him.
"Yeah the names jake, why don't you come sit with me and my friends?" His head turns back to me as he drags me, nodding my head I give him a smile.
"Sure! I think that woul-.."
My sentence cuts off as a lump gets caught in my throat, my feet skid on the lunchroom floor when I realize where he's headed.
Come to think of it I do remember him sitting there earlier, my voice comes out soft as I go to protest sitting at the table in the middle of the room.
The table with Nick AND Lima Bean.
"You know on second thought I think I left something in-..."
Jake starts to laugh at me, tugging on my hand more we finally get to the table, my eyes scan the lunch room as I hear it grow quiet.
Most of the other students eyes are settled on me and jakes hands intertwined, looking over to Nick and the others sitting down they have become quiet as well.
My eyes lock with Nick his fork dropping on the table as he sees jake drag me over, his face is expressionless, eyes drifting down to our hands.
His eyes hold a dangerous glint, his once light brown eyes now look like a dark brown almost black, resembling charcoal.
His shoulders become hard as his body goes rigid, jakes voice bounces off the walls in the room, "this is Shimmy she's gonna sit with us from now on, hope that's cool with you guys".
'That's just my last name but I guess I don't mind that nickname either'
My face heats up as I think this.
"Eww why would we want-.."
Lima beans high pitched voice comes off strong, making the other students continue to talk amongst themselves in the lunch room.
Cutting her off I hear Nick start to speak,
"Yeah that's cool"
His head is bent over his plate, fork pushing around the food as if he's playing with it, lifting his head he looks directly at me.
His lips pull up into a grin, tilting his head slightly to the side while he looks at me this makes me feel like he's up to something.
'What's up with him?'
Breaking the eye contact I turn towards jake, he pulls my book bag from off my shoulders, putting it on the floor next to him he sits down while motioning to the seat beside him.
Taking a deep breath I clench my fists, pulling a smile onto my face I take my seat, right next to jake and right infront of...
....Nick
