Chapter 4 [3/3]

"I'm nervous," Momo said, rubbing her palm. Jeongyeon surprisingly nodded her head in agreement.

"Me too. How do I look?"

"You look great," Tzuyu answered. "Don't worry we can do it. We have to, for the audition. This is our last chance," she said. Momo and Jeongyeon nodded but then sighed.

"By the way I like this costume," Momo said. They wore same costume; black pants, dark blue silk shirt, sleeves rolled up, and black vest. The difference was her fedora hat, Tzuyu's white rose on chest pocket, and Jeongyeon's rocker gloves. Nayeon's idea.

Jinyoung approached them. "Hi, boys. Ready to rock the night?"

"But nervous," Momo said. The teacher let out a laugh and gave light pat on her shoulder.

"Just think it as one of the audition," Jinyoung said and got weak nod from the three. "Perhaps don't. Anyway, just enjoy your first performance. I know you three, have seen it remember? Good luck."

Momo watched as Jinyoung left and turned to her friends. "Okay, let's do this," she said. Tzuyu and Jeongyeon nodded. She took a glance at stage, soon the choir would end their songs. She looked over the hall at students of St. Mary's Academy and two other schools. Principal Kahi and the other schools principal were sitting at front table. After what felt like eternity finally the MC called their name.

"Let's go guys," Tzuyu said.

After a sharp intake of breath Momo followed the other girls now boys. Soon after they entered the stage girls started to scream their name. Although she was still nervous but seeing excitement from audience increased her confidence. The music started and they began their performance they were performng this new boy group called BTS - Blood Sweat and Tears.

They sang the intro of the song together. When it turned to refrain, Tzuyu sang the part while Jeongyeon and Momo doing back dance. As Jeongyeon had said girls, even boys cheered for their performance. They then exchanged position. Momo took the center and sang the next part. Tzuyu and Jeongyeon were dancing on her side. Finishing her part Momo stepped aside, giving the place to Jeongyeon. She didn't surprise when Jeongyeon did her improvisations.

Audience started to sing the song together with them as they approached finale. Momo sang the last part and brought a hand to her hat. Screams and whistles roared inside the hall. She did a bow. Tzuyu and Jeongyeon grinned contentedly at her. They once again bowed toward the audience and walked off the stage.

At the back of stage Nayeon was waiting for them with delighted grin on face. She gave a small hug and took them toward their table. They met Jinyoung on the way and he gave thumbs up. Suzy grabbed them into a group hug thankfully Nayeon was there to save them. Girls were trying to touch them as they made their way to their table.

Momo didn't really like being touched or hugged but she couldn't help enjoying the spotlight. She took a seat and smiled a little toward girls at other table. She moved her gaze and saw the boys from yesterday. The leader boy crossed his arms, narrowing his eyes. She rolled her eyes, deciding to just ignore them.

"You think we pass this?" Tzuyu asked anxiously, glancing toward Principal Kahi.

"I did, yes," Jeongyeon answered. "Everyone was screaming our name. It means we succeed the task, right? If we didn't, something's wrong with that Kahi's eyes."

"Hope so," Momo said with uncertain voice. She really wished the party would end soon before the anxiety could kill her.

Suddenly the hall light turned off. Melody of guitar echoed the room. The stage light went on and there standing on the stage was the student representative. Long red dress perfectly wrapped the girl's slim body.

Momo despite her indifference toward the student representative found herself staring as the girl gracefully swaying both hands on her side and backside. The girl took her skirt, tapping her feet, and then pausing. A singer started to sing and she swayed arms together.

"She can do flamenco?"

Momo didn't have time for answering Jeongyeon's question. It seemed like the student representative once again captured her eyes with her dance. It wasn't only the move but also her expression. There was emotion in those eyes. She was like different person from the annoying girl she had met three days ago. She noticed the girl's breath increased from her parting lips. Mina lifted hands beside her and clapped it while keeping the tapping. The girl held her skirt while speeding up her stamping and spinning around.

Momo unconsciously leaned forward on her chair as Mina spun around and suddenly stopped with both hands up. The hall once again was filled by screams, whistles, and claps. Oddly she couldn't move and held her gaze at the girl. It was for a moment but she caught a small smile on her lips. And the girl looked...beautiful.

"Holy shit, that's awesome! You see that!?"

Jeongyeon's pat and turned-on light broke Momo's awe. "W-what...I...she..." Came incoherent reply from her mouth. Jeongyeon grinned knowingly at her and she moved her gaze back to stage. She knitted her brows as she found the student representative was talking with someone before looking at the back of stage. Jimin was leaning on crutch. Everyone started to murmur when the dancer stood still while the music had started on.

"What's happening?" Tzuyu asked.

"I don't know, but looks like her partner has injured himself," Momo said, referring to president of School of Dance.

"Seems so."

A voice replied from behind and Momo jumped slightly on her chair. "Damnit," she cursed under her breath but then cleared her throat as she found Principal standing behind them. 'Since when did she stand there?'

"It looks like he can't do his performance," Principal said. "But the audience is waiting."

"Uh, yes," Tzuyu replied, uncertain with the conversation.

Principal then looked down at them. A smile or rather a smirk plastered on her face. "Task number two."

"Task number two?" Momo frowned. Tzuyu and Jeongyeon get confused as well. Suddenly she had bad feeling when Principal bent her back to elaborate to them.

"I count on you boys," Principal said and left the boy-clad girls.

"Are you mammpph-" Momo argued but Tzuyu put a hand over her mouth, bringing her down to her chair. 'Crazy Academy and its crazy female leaders!'

Meanwhile, Mina was looking at the boy who was supposed to be her dance partner. "What happened to you? What happened to your leg?"

"I stumbled on stairs and..." Jimin trailed off.

"How am I supposed to dance without you?" Mina asked in frustration.

"I'm sorry. It looks like I won't make it with my leg like this," Jimin said apologetically. He cursed himself for being careless and disappointed Mina.

"I'll talk to Principal," Mina said. She left stage, heading toward Principals table. However before she reached Principals table the light suddenly turned off.

"Hey girl, wanna dance with me?"

Mina knitted her brows slightly and turned around. On stage under spotlight was the blond-haired boy. The boy however, was looking down holding microphone in hand. He then slowly raised his head, looking straight at her and started to sing.

Mina turned her body, facing the boy. He lowered his gaze for moment before lifting it up to meet her.

"My body just can't help following yours

It's shaking through all.."

Momo glanced toward the band. They nodded, starting the music. She jumped off of stage in time when Jeongyeon and Tzuyu stepped to her sides and they started their dance. She lifted the mic, singing out lyrics that popped up in her head just at moment.

"Feeling the beat and look into your eyes

You knw you got me girl

My body jut can't following yours

It's shaking through all

Hey girl wanna dance with me

Cause I can't help myself..."

Mina lifted an eyebrow, watching the new students singing and dancing. She didn't have to look around to notice everyone was cheering, thinking it was part of the show. Although she wouldn't say it out loud but she was grateful- just a little. This was the first time she saw their performance. And for her dismay they were great.

Momo popped her arms and waved her body. When she turned her gaze she spotted Mina was still standing some feet apart, watching them. Their eyes locked and she brought mic to her mouth.

"You locked my eyes, got me hypnotized

Got me drugged with your smile

I can feel the fire escalated

It starts to burn me..."

Momo took steps toward the girl.

"Hey girl wannaa dance with me

Cause I can't seem to stop..."

Mina rolled her eyes and huffed softly at Momo's smirk. He then spun around and headed back to his friends. She watched as they did break dance. Her lips curled up a little and she gave a nod toward her back dancers.

Momo stopped her dance and looked up when the music suddenly changed. She turned around and saw Mina taking her red ribbon off, releasing her long brown hair, starting to dance. Back dancers dressed in black dress followed her lead.

Mina just moved her body, following the mix of pop and Latin music. She swayed her hips while stepping forward toward the boys group. She stopped in front of the blond-haired boy and spun around.

Momo closed her eyes as silky hair hit her face. She opened her eyes to see glints in Mina's eyes as she moved her body gracefully before her. The girl stretched a hand out toward her before drawing it back as if telling her to follow. Tzuyu's nudge on her side finally broke their eye contact.

Momo threw her fedora hat somewhere on girls table, hearing their screams, and following after Mina.

"You locked my eyes, got me hypnotized

Got me drugged with your smile

I can feel the fire escalated

It starts to burn me

I wanna fly

Your dance drives me crazy

Don't stop girl

Keep shakin' it all

Hey girl wanna dance withme

Cause I can't help myself

Dance with me..."

Momo couldn't help a smile as the girl looked at her with seductive smile on lips. From her left Tzuyu came up and for her surprise their School President Sana was with her. They started to dance just like the other day. Some students followed them, dancing with their partners. On her right Jeongyeon followed by some boy students started their break dance.

"Heya girl, dance with me

Get me hypnotized, get me drugged

Heya girl, dance with me

Don't stop girl, keep shakin' it

Bring me to heaven

Dance with me girl..."

Momo let out a laugh in surprise at Jeongyeon's rap song. 'That girl is freaking genius!' Seeing her friends dance turned Momo on. She shook her body, swaying and stepping. She was lost in her dance that she didn't notice the representative student approaching her. And soon they danced together.

Mina held her gaze to Haru's moving body. He was really a good dancer, she must admit. The way he shook his body rhythmically with music, and his song somehow reminded her of herself.

Momo stopped for a breath. However, the air was once again was taken away from her when the student representative girl looked into her eyes. The girl lifted both hands, clapping it as she walked round her. Her eyes followed the girl. Mina then placed a hand on her forearm and up to her shoulder before trailing over her jaw-line.

"Heya girl...(dance with me)...

Heya girl...(dance with me)..."

Their eyes still glued to each other as the girl stepped backward. Momo felt her heart skipped a beat when the girl threw a smile toward her before spinning around.

"Dance with me,"

"We did it! WE DID IT!"

Scream from Tzuyu and Jeongyeon broke Momo's bubble. Finally she realized they had stopped dancing. Everyone applauded their performance. Jinyoung and Suzy were holding thumbs up. Nayeon stood beside them, grinning delightedly as well. Principal Kahi looked pleased with their performance.

On the other side, Mina put hands on waist, trying to catch her breath. But she was really contented. It felt like long time ago since she really enjoyed a dance. She chuckled, shaking her head. Her eyes then caught the person who had brought the feeling into her. The blond-haired boy was laughing with his friends. Her heart pounded even harder upon seeing his joyful laugh. As if it had its own brain her feet moved automatically toward the blonde boy.

Momo lifted a hand and did high-five with Jeongyeon. Girls and boys started to make a circle around them. Then through girls and boys her eyes caught a figure walking toward them.

Mina kept her eyes at the blonde boy as she walked past other students. He then noticed her and looked at her. The other students finally realized her presence and moved aside.

"Hey," Momo greeted the student representative. She offered a small smile, rubbing the nape of her neck.

"Uh, you were gr-"

Momo's word died in her throat as Mina suddenly took her neck and kissed her lips.
