Chapter 151
Friday.
I received a text from Jessie.
{You can take a break for today since you already mastered the dance. But don’t forget to come back at the dance studio tomorrow to have a light practice.}
I texted back a quick "okay" and hit send, feeling a rush of relief wash over me. With the choreography settled, there was still one burning issue to tackle: our outfits for the upcoming dance competition.
After throwing on some fresh clothes, I headed over to the door next to mine, my excitement bubbling over as I knocked.
The door swung open to reveal Kairos yawning. "Let’s go shopping," I suggested, not bothering to meet his eyes as I scrolled through my phone, searching for outfit ideas. "We still don’t have any outfits."
"Let me change in a minute," he said, stepping back to let me in. "You can come in while you wait for me."
I smiled and walked into his room. "Make it fast. After we’re done shopping, we need to practice again," I reminded him, settling on the living room couch.
"What got you so motivated?" Kairos called from his room, his voice muffled by the door.
"I just wanna rub it in someone’s face that I’m good at dancing," I replied, glancing at my phone as I read through the group chat with my friends.
Since yesterday, Rex and Christian had taken a particular interest in teasing me about the competition, throwing lighthearted insults about how I would surely mess up.
