--Story Time--

I came into my dance class and began to stretch before the teacher came. When she entered the class the whole class greeted her. She smiled at us and took out a piece of paper.

"Alright kids. We're all going to be doing a special partner choreography. So this means you all will have to have a partner. Any questions?" She looked around the room.

"Ah, yes?" She looked at a girl with ginger hair.
"Can we choose partners?" The girl lowered her hand.

"Unfortunately you will not be able to." The class awed.

"Why?" Someone screamed.

"Because this choreography requires male and female pairs. Knowing you guys, you would all pair up with the same gender." Everyone went silent.

"Alright then, now that that's out of the way, let's announce the pairs." She chimed.

So she obviously began announcing partners. I didn't really care about what partner I would get. I was daydreaming when she called my name.

"Macey and Benjamin." I snapped out of it.
"Huh?" A boy was walking over my way.

"Hi! I'm Benjamin. I guess we'll be partners for this choreography. Let's try our best to get along." He cheered.

"Alright... I'll try my best to get along as well. I'm Macey by the way." We shook hands.

"Nice to meet ya!" He smiled.

Now, Ben looked different back then. He had long shaggy brown hair and acne was starting to appear. He wore braces and glasses. But, overall he was friendly and popular.

"Alright class now pay attention..." The teacher began to show us the choreography.

"I want you guys to work with your pair outside of this class and perfect the choreography. I also want a twist on it... something that showcases you got to know each other." Everyone nodded.

"Well everyone we've got an hour to practice the choreography." She clapped her hands.

Everyone immediately got to work. We practiced for a total of two hours and class soon finished. I packed up my things and was heading outside.

"Macey! Wait for me!" Ben called out to me.
"Wait, why?" I looked back.

"We're hanging out right?" He tilted his head.
"I mean... I never said we would." I thought.

"Well now we are. C'mon! You can tell your parents along the way!" He tugged on my arm.

"Hold on a minute!" He pulled my arm running.

Ben completely ignored my outcry to wait. So when we finally arrived to what seemed like a park, I completely went off on him.
