~Chapter Ten~

You were stuck practicing a dance for your Spanish class after school. You were alone in the dance room pacing back and forth waiting for your partner and teacher. You were failing Spanish sadly so your teacher decided that she could help you bring it back up with this special project. While pacing your phone buzzed and you got a text from Cole.

EarthBoi: Hey! Chlo! Wanna hang out today?! :)You smile and text him backMe: Can't, bringing Spanish grade up. EarthBoi: Oh. Your at Marty RN?Me: Yeah :( stupid partner is late. EarthBoi: Your partner better be a girl >:( Me: Is my boyfriend getting over protective!? :O ;) EarthBoi: I just wanna make sure your not in the wrong hands! Me: Lol ur too cute :3 EarthBoi: I try xD Just then your Spanish teacher walks in, you quickly text Cole.Me: Gotta go. Teach is here and still no partner. :/

You put your phone in your dance bag and greet your teacher. "Hola Chloe! Bad news señorita. Ricky has the flu and cannot dance with you in the showcase this weekend." Señora Maria says with a frown. You almost faint, if he didn't show up how would you ever get your grade!?

"Señora Maria! If Ricky doesn't come then who am I gonna dance with in the showcase?! What about my grade!?" You say with panic. "Cálmate! Chloe! Your grade will not go down I will make sure of that. I'm looking for a replacement for you." Señora Maria says.

You sigh, but just when all hope was lost. "I'll dance with her!" You heard a familiar voice. You and your teacher turn and look towards the doors and saw Cole, wearing a muscle tee, baggy pants and sneakers. "Cole?!" You ask surprised and give him a hug. "Señor Cole?! I haven't seen you since you were-" Señora Maria starts but Cole finishes "Siete? Si señora. Chloe texted me and she needed a partner. So I was hoping I could dance with her."

You smile and look at your teacher. Your teacher looks at Cole then looks at you. "Well, since there is no one else for Chloe to dance with then I guess you can be her partner." She says. You cheer and hug Cole. "Esperar! Wait! Cole will be the suplente now, understudy. That means if all of a sudden Ricky is better and can make it before the showcase then you will dance with Ricky. But if Ricky doesn't not make it before the showcase then Cole will be your partner." She explains.

"Si señora. Gracias." You tell her and she smiles at you. "I'll be right back I forgot the MP3 player. Chloe, why not you tell Chloe what your project is about." She says then leaves the room. "Yeah, what is it about anyways?" He asks, getting interested. You smile, "It's a little hard to explain. So it's about a Girl who has a boyfriend, but she loves another boy. The boy she loves is telling her to tell her boyfriend the truth, That she's in love with another. So they can be together! But, Girl is deciding whether or not to tell the guy. At the end of story, she tells the truth to her boyfriend and breaks up with him. Allowing her to be with the boy she truly loves. My project is to explain the story in dance." You explain.

"Ohh okay. I get the plot. So, lemme guess, it's salsa isn't it?" "Yup." "Alright alright. I'll see what I can do." "Thanks so much Cole! You just don't know how much this will help my grade! If I fail this project some how then I can't graduate! I know I'm sounding like a total nerd right now but I need this." You tell him.

Cole smiles at you, "No problem! I'd do anything with you and for you." He says. You smile and hug him. You two let go when you heard footsteps enter the room. "I'm back! Okay, so I assume you told señor Cole about the project?" Your teacher says while putting the MP3 player in its speaker hold. "Si Señora." You say.

"Bueno! Bueno! Okay, so the song is a little fast but I know you two can do it! Señor Greg should be here soon and together we will show you two how to do this dance." She explains. Just then Mr Greg, your jazz dance teacher walks in with a huge smile on his face.

"Hey Chloe! Cole Buckets?! Is that you?" He says as he walks up to you two. "Mr. Greg! Long time no see!" "So, your the understudy? Gosh! You've grown so much!" He says to Cole and Cole chuckles. "Alright alright! Talk later. We must finish by 5." Señora Maria says.

You and Cole take a seat on the floor and Señora Maria hits play on the MP3. Your teachers get in position then dance the routine. Your teacher was right about it being fast. The dance had grace and a TON of hip movements. It included at least 3 spins in one, dips, and you'd have to play the girl. You'd have to act out her part.

At the end of the song Señora Maria was dipped and they stood up. You and Cole applauded and the two teachers bowed. "A little hard but Chloe, if you want to graduate you have to complete this dance, step by step." Mr Greg says.

You give an understanding nod, you just had to face the fact. Your teachers gestured for you and Cole to stand up and you two did. Your teachers explain and demonstrate how to start the dance. You and Cole do as told and start off pretty good. The song all together had at least 30 or maybe 20 steps to the routine and it would take all week to do it all.

Your teachers taught you two at least 5 steps. At first you and Cole struggled from time to time but by the time it was almost time to go home you and Cole successfully did the five steps with the music.

"Fantástico! Buen trabajo! Cole can you come by here same time for the rest of the week?" Señora Maria says. Cole smiles and nods. "Good! Then see you two again after school." Mr Greg says as he sips his bottle of water then leaves the room with Señora Maria.

You and Cole catch your breaths and drink some water. "Hey, you're not bad of a dancer." You tell Cole. "You're not so bad yourself partner!" He says with a smile. You zip up your bag and put it over your shoulder. "Hey, do you think we can do this?" You ask Cole.

Cole wipes his face with a towel before looking at you. "Well, we survived five steps. I think we can do the rest." He says then zips up his duffle bag. "Was that your old dance bag from when you first came here?" Cole stands up with the bag handle in his hand and he smiles at you. "Yup! Still kept it." He says as you two walk out of the building. You make it to your car and put your bag into the passenger seat. "I'll call you later." Cole says as he gives you a hug and pecks you on your lips. "Okay. See ya tomorrow!" You say then get in your car.

From that day on you and Cole worked hard on getting the routine right. And you really hoped Ricky would stay sick so Cole would stay your partner. Your hips were getting sore and your face was starting to hurt from the expressions you had to act out. You would always get butterflies in your stomach when Cole would dip you and have a dramatic look on his face. Or when his hands would go on your waist or on your cheek and he'd have to move his hips. You were really enjoying the dance.

Tomorrow was the dance and you and Cole were almost done with the dance! You two just had to survive the final steps. The three spin in one. You spun once then fell. You tried again and spun twice this time. "Don't give up Chloe! You can do it!" Mr Greg told you. You got up, this was really hard. You spun once, twice, and a third time! You were so proud of yourself.

You and Cole finished the final 3 steps and then you two were done. You and Cole cheered when you both finally knew all the steps. "Vamos! De Nuveo! Let's go again! Again with La Música!" Señora Maria instructs. You and Cole do the whole dance again with perfection.

You all cheered when you two finished. "Okay let's talk about what's gonna happen tomorrow. The program is at 8:00pm you two will arrive here early! Hopefully at around 6:00pm it would give you two extra time to practice and get in your costumes. Now as for your costumes, Chloe, your attire is a thin short dress, you must wear black heels, and your hair must be out. The dress can be any design, any color. Cole! If you have a leather jacket then that would be great! Black pants or jeans, white shirt, and of course you must have a tie. With black shoes. Your hair is fine." Mr Greg says. 'Yay! Heels...' You said sarcastically in your head.

"Can I wear a fedora?" Cole asks. "Yeah! Sure buddy! And Chloe if you want, you can wear jewelry. Silvers and golds." 'Bet my mom planned that part out already..' You thought in your head. "Estoy tan orgulloso de ustedes dos! I'm so proud of you two! What a successful week it has been! If you're bringing family or friends they can come round Siete, seven." Señora Maria says.

Your teachers then say goodbye to you two and they leave the dance room. "I'm so nervous for tomorrow!" You tell Cole as you pack up your duffle bag. "Me too. I'm gonna do some hip movements and my brothers are gonna see it." Cole says and you chuckle.

"Hey, I'll pick you up tomorrow. Around 5:50. Maybe if we're early we can practice by ourselves." You think about it for a minute before agreeing. That day passed and it was the night of the showcase. You packed your costume in your duffle, making sure you wouldn't wrinkle your dress. You say goodbye to your parents and tell them that you'll see them later then leave the house. Cole had just arrived and he helped you get on his blaster bike.

You two arrived at the practice room and just had enough time to practice by yourselves. Luckily the MP3 player was in its port so you and Cole were able to practice and discuss what cool stuff you two should do to get extra points. Around 6 señora Maria came but no mr Greg. "Señora Maria, dónde está señor Greg?" You ask her in Spanish.

"He is a jazz dance teacher, right? He has some dance students participating in the showcase. No te preocupes, él será el backstage cuando será el momento para que ustedes dos a bailar. Don't worry, he will be backstage when it will be time for you two to dance." She tells you. You nod in understanding.

"Okay! Do you two have your disfraces? Your costumes?" She asks you two and you two nod yes. "Fantástico! Alright let's practice the dance at least 3 times and when we're done we will go down to the auditorium and go backstage so you two can get dressed. From there we will practice in your costumes." She instructs. "Vamos! Uno! Dos! Tres!" She says and presses play. You and Cole practice the routine at least three times then did as told and went backstage.

You went in a dressing room and changed into your hot pink, high/low ruffle dress, black felice sandal heels, you put on a pair of gold tassel drop hoop earrings, and put on a gold necklace your parents gave you that had the word, 'Dance' on it. Your hair had been curled to perfection when you were at home earlier. You applied makeup on and then looked at yourself one last time in the mirror. You left the dressing room and met up with your teacher on stage.

Lots of other students were starting to come backstage to practice too. "There you are Chloe! Wow señorita! You look Muy Fantástico!" Your teacher says with a smile. Just then Cole comes on stage wearing a black leather jacket, white dress shirt with a black neck tie, black skinny jeans, leather high top sneakers and a black fedora. Cole smiles at you, "Wow! Señorita, you look Muy hermoso." He says to you and brings your hand up to kiss it. You blush majorly and thank him. "Practiced that in the dressing room didn't you?" "You have no evidence."

Señora Maria claps her hands twice. "Alright! Let's begin! Other students need the stage to practice too." She says you and Cole get in your positions and the music started. You and Cole danced and danced until the song ended. When you two were done your teacher brought you two backstage.

"I'm absolutely proud of you two. Muy buen! One more hour until the guests arrive. I'll be right back." She says then leaves you two. "My feet are killing me and it's not even time for the real thing yet!" You say as you adjust the straps on your heels. Cole chuckles, "Relax! You'll be fine. Just don't think about it and the pain will go away." He says.

It was 7 now and the auditorium was filling up. You saw your parents already there and the ninja along with Sensei Wu and Nya. You were getting very nervous as you saw how many people you had to dance in front of. Cole would see how nervous you'd be from time to time and he'd massage your back to relax you a little.

Señora Maria and Mr. Greg came to you guys with a wide smile on their faces. "Wow! You two look great!! Hope your excited!" Mr Greg says. Just then you all heard heavy footsteps and you and Cole turned around to see Ricky running over to you guys.

"Ricky!?" You and Cole say surprised. "Señor Ricky! Your here. Are you feeling well?" Señora Maria asks him. "Better then ever! Señora Maria!" He says with a wide smile. "Señora Maria! Please keep Cole as my partner pretty please! Ricky doesn't know all the steps but Cole does!!" You beg.

Señora Maria looks at Mr. Greg and then they look at you three. "Okay team! Here's what we're gonna do. We'll change the dance up a little. It's a lot to learn under a limited time period but we can do it!" Mr. Greg says. You all huddled up and Mr. Greg discussed the new dance routine.

Around 8 the show began many acts before you performed and when a new act would end it would bring you closer to your dance. You were very nervous. Around 8:20 it was time. The music started and with every hip movement you and Ricky entered the stage together.

A/N: You can play the song now :) I would have put the English translation but I was too lazy and I'm pretty sure half of you have Spanish class in your school XD all lyrics from google I apologize in advance for any mistakes lol "Mr Worldwide! Gente de Zona! Que comience la fiesta, Ahora dile." "Oye loca, ven pa ca (cómo fue, cómo fue) Oye loca, ven pa ca, Cómo? Cantále! Oye loca, ven pa ca, Oye loca, ven pa ca. Dale."

Your feet was in sync with every hip movement and so were your arms. "Piensas en mí (piensas en mi)" You spun around and Ricky put his arms around you. "En mi amor (en mi amor)" You spun out of his arms and Ricky danced back to the side of the stage. "Y aunque querrás no puedes vivir. Nunca encontrarás nadie que te lo haga como yo!" You danced further down the stage as Cole came out of his spot.

You two danced to each other and Cole spun you around. "Dile la verdad. Que yo te tengo loca! Dile la verdad. Soy el que te provoca!" You two were in sync. Cole dipped you twice and pulled you back up. "Dile la verdad, Dile la verdad. En la noche cuando haces el amor!" He danced as if he were talking.

"Mamita, cachita, que te pica. Pa que te complicas. Yo lo hago a mi manera. A mi me encanta las locuras." Cole tips his fedora as he sways to the beat. "Sin, ven. Todo mundo con la lengua afuera. De Miami a la Cuba. Suda, suda la lectura. Trae tu amiga y no te pongas dura. Ahora dile." You swayed your skirt and Cole did a slide.

Then you two danced to the pre chorus. "Oye loca, ven pa ca. (cómo fue, cómo fue) Oye loca, ven pa ca. Cantále! Oye loca, ven pa ca. Oye loca, ven pa ca. Dale." Then you two did the repeated steps to the chorus. "Piensas en mí (piensas en mi) En mi amor (en mi amor) Y aunque querrás no puedes vivir. Nunca encontrarás nadie que te lo haga como yo."

"Dile la verdad. Que yo te tengo loca. Dile la verdad. Soy el que te provoca. Dile la verdad (díselo). Dile la verdad. En la noche cuando haces el amor!" Then you swayed your skirt to the music and Ricky came back on stage. "Mentiras y celos, deja esto. Con esta mitades, por supuesto. La vida de Armando es de verdad, por supuesto." You danced to him he put his hands on your hips.

"Y lo que hagas se convierte en realidad, por supuesto. No hay mentira, yo soy honesto, vivo, directo. Y aquí no la encuentro." You took his hands and did some salsa with him. He took his hands out of your grasp and dramatically salsa off the stage. "Mamita, te enamoras por el momento. Pero yo no, lo siento. Ahora dile." You danced back to Cole and he put his hands on your hips.

"Piensas en mí (piensas en mi) En mi amor (en mi amor) Y aunque querrás no puedes vivir. Nunca encontrarás nadie que te lo haga como yo!" Your hip movements were in sync with Cole's and you put your hand on his cheek. "Dile la verdad. Que yo te tengo loca." You spun away then did step by step salsa with him. Then you did the triple spin and Cole caught you in his arms and did the final dip.

"Dile la verdad. Soy el que te provoca." But! You two finished a little early! The song wasn't done. "Dile la verdad. Dile la verdad. En la noche cuando haces el amor!" So you grabbed Cole's fedora from his head and put it where the audience couldn't see both your faces and you kissed Cole. The song ended and the crowed cheered. You and Cole let go and stood back up. Ricky came back on stage and you three bowed and went backstage.

Señora Maria and Mr. Greg came to you guys with wide smiles and hugged all three of you. "Muy Buen! You all were simply Fantástico! Out there! Chloe you get an A! felicitaciones! Congratulations!" Señora Maria says and you cheer and thank her. "Thanks for helping out in the dance Cole and Ricky!" Mr Greg says.

The two boys say their 'Your welcomes' the two teachers leave you three backstage. "So you're the famous Black Ninja! Didn't know you could dance like that man!" Ricky says as he gives a high five to Cole. Cole smiles, "You too!" Ricky smiles at both of you then walks away.

"My hips hurt." Cole comments and you chuckle. "Mine too. So does my feet." You say. "Hey, have you ever been on the very top floor of this building?" He asks you and you think for awhile before nodding your head no. Cole smiles and grabs your hand. "C'mon! Follow me!" He says as you two run through the backstage and though some double doors. You chuckle as you see how excited Cole is to bring you up there. You two run up the steps until you make it to the very top. He opens a door, when he opens it you both are on the roof of the school. "Wow!" You say as you walk around the roof.

You look down below and see the view of the campus and then look up to see the night sky. "Used to come up here when I was frustrated or when I end up alone for lunch." Cole says as he catches up to you. "Why were you frustrated?" "I can't dance Chloe. Pretty sure you know that." "Cole! Have you seen yourself tonight!"

"I was able to do it this time because I worked hard. I did this for you! I was motivated to dance hard no matter how many times I failed." "Cole, that's exactly how you're supposed to dance. You try hard. And have fun!" You tell him. Cole smiles at you then looks back down at the view below.

You two hear slow music play from the auditorium. Cole smiles and gives you his hand. "May I have this last dance?" He asks you. You smile and take his hand. "Yes." Your other hand goes on Cole's shoulder and Cole's other hand went around your waist and you two slowly swayed to the music.

A/N: So I thought I try something new lol as you can tell. Shout out to all you Hispanic readers out there! ;) song is called Piensas (Dile la verdad) by Pitbull! That's right!
