Fast In My Car
Bliss
JULIE'S POV
Taking a seat next to Jaime, I caught up with Vic (as we barely spoke) before Sarah and Austin joined us. Mike followed soon after with the new boy by his side.
'Guys, meet Tony. He's new here,' said Mike, gesturing for the handsome boy to take a seat which, fortunately, was directly across from me. We all said 'hey' in unison before taking part in small talk as we devoured our meals.
'Julie, do you know if there's a show on this year?' asked Vic excitedly.
'Yeah, there is. Are you thinking of joining the music team?'
'Mhmm, it was so good last year.'
'In need of a drummer?' asked Mike.
'We need all the help we can get! Seriously, round up anyone that can play anything. Traingle, guitar, flute, you name it.'
The boys laughed at my comment, 'Tony, would you be interested in playing guitar?' Mike turned to the shy boy, waiting a considerable amount of time before he received a reply.
'Uhh, I guess it couldn't hurt,' he said softly.
'You'll get to know a lot of people too, it'll be good,' said Vic, reassuring him.
Looking down at my empty plate, I exhaled deeply. I remained still for a few seconds before forcing myself off the seat, 'Got to go guys, they want me to choreograph some stuff. See you all later, nice to meet you Tony.'
TONY'S POV
Julie stood up and said her farewells before wandering off. I turned to the group, confused as to what she meant, and waited for an explanation which Austin - the thinnest guy I've ever seen - gave me.
'She's a dancer, a good one. She's choreographing stuff for the school show,' he said politely. I nodded, taking another sip of my juice. As I swallowed, my mind began to think about Julie - the band obsessed dancer. I bit my lip as I remembered how pretty she was and how perfectly her curly brown hair fell on to her shoulders.
JULIE'S POV
I entered the empty gym room and made my way over to the stereo to plug in my iPod. Scrolling past all the good stuff, I clicked on 'club mix' before warming up to the heavy bass of the repetitive songs. Once stretched and prepared, I went back over to the iPod and changed the song to Pass That Dutch by Missy Elliot.
I rolled my neck as the song began, looseing myself up. As the beat kicked in, I made quick movements with my shoulders. Lowering myself, I stuck out my bum and moved my hands with sharp hits, almost 'roboting'. Throwing my arms into the air as the hip hop music continued, I rolled my head round and round as my hips swayed from left to right. I smiled as I fell into pure bliss - the weight around me had vanished and it was just me and the music. I jumped up and punched the air on front of me. Sliding to the left, I dropped to the floor before letting my feet take over underneath my body. I used the momentum from that to help me into a handstand which I got into with perfect timing. I held the pose for a couple of seconds before coming down and panting on the floor.
Mrs Gaffney entered, 'Julie I've printed out the songs for the dances, I'll just put it here.' I murmered a reply to the teacher as she exited, the door slamming shut behind her. Once she was gone, I dragged myself over to the bench where she'd placed the sheet. I picked it up and began to scan through the songs - all of which I knew. As I read each name, I visioned what kind of dance would go with it. To both my surprise and relief, there was a hip hop song on it. Putting the paper back down, I went over to the stereo and put on a slow song.
I stared at my reflection in the mirror as the violin played. Staring at my body, I tried to imagine what would go well. My left had gracefully rose, crossing over my body before falling down at my left side. I pushed out my chest and took a slow stride forward, my arms spreading out as I did so. I paused for a second before putting all my weight on my left foot and spinning, my hands making a circle on front of me as I did so. I planted my foot down to stop me and then turned on my toe so I was facing the left wall. I threw my arms down by my sides and then ran forward and leaped into the air, my legs forming a split. The moment I landed, the bell sounded. I groaned at the annoying noise as it carried on deafening me and drowing out the music.
