"1,2,3 step!"

That's all I've been hearing for the past hour and my head is going to pop soon I swear. I hate the dancing 0art of school. The reason we do the dancing part of school is to learn better posture, they are trying to teach us to be "proper ladies". But what does define the term "proper ladies?" it's different for everyone. Your interests and what makes you feel proper won't be the same as the person next to you. I hate how people put you in a box.

"alright ladies we're done for today!" said my dance teacher as she turned off the music.

I grabbed my coat and walked out the door with my friends close behind.

"so what's our plans for this afternoon?" asked Bethany putting on her coat.

"we could go to our hangout spot and practice our English book if you guys want?" I suggested.

"sure, I need help with that book and there's no one better than you jenny."said Lilly.

I giggled as we walked down the hall way into English class.

Later that day we made our way towards our favorite little hangout spot, a café around the corner from our school.

" can we get 3 teas please" I said to the waiter.

"alright ladies get our your English books and let's start." said Bethany holding her book in her hand.

It wasn't long before the topic wasn't about the English book any more. (not surprising).

"so what do you ladies look for in a man?" Bethany asked talking a sip of her tea.

"well I just want someone who's gentle, kind and funny." said Lilly staring out the café window.

"well i don't even exactly know what I want in a man yet." said Bethany.

"what about you Jenny?" asked Lilly.

"oh I want a real man, not one school boys you know? I want someone who lives life on the wild side." I said with a smile.

"sorry to say but no one like that exists in London." said Bethany laughing.

"ya I figured. One day I'm going to be in Paris wearing all black, smoking, drinking fine wine and doing what ever I please."i said after taking a sip of my tea.

" what a life." said Bethany.

We sat in the cafe for at least a nother hour talking about our futures and what they would be like. It's fun to dream you know? I think if we don't dream we kind of die. Without something to work for where are you going?

We walked out the Cafe and to my surprise I noticed a  familiar red sports car. I squinted my eyes staring at this red car and suddenly there he was walking back from a newspaper stand. I told my friends just to wait a minute and I ran towards him.

"hello?" I said.

He turned around and looked at me then smiled.

"oh hello!" he said.

"hello." I said again not really sure what else to say.

"fancy bumping into you here." he said holding his newspaper.

"ya do you live around here?" I asked him.

"ya I actually do." he said.

"ah then I think we might be bumping into each other more." I said giggling.

"I hope so." he said giggling too.

There was a moment of silence and all I could hear were gigles from my friends behind me. I turned towards them and told them to hush.

"anyway I'm actually really glad I bumped into you I wanted to ask you something." he said.

"sure." I said

"I'm going to be watching an orchestra preform on Friday and I wanted to know if you would like to come?" he asked me.

"umm... Well I have school." I said looking down.

"well it's only in the evening you know." he said smiling.

"oh ya, I'll ask my pearents but it's going to be hard to get past my dad." I said.

"i will do my best to convince him." he said.

"well ok." I said

"oh and one more thing I thought we could stop for supper after." he said.

"sure, but that's going to take extra convincing from my pearents." I said laughing.

"I'm sure I'll be able to convince them." he said with smirk.

"alright well see you Friday evening?" I said.

"Friday at 7."he said with smile.

" bye" I said backing away walking towards my friends.

When I got back to them the only thing they did was not speak but their mouths hung open.

"what?" I asked as if nothing just happened.

"what? Did you just ask what as if a man in a very expensive sports car just pulled up and asked you out for supper and a show?" said Bethany.

"well yeah." I said giggling.

"you have to tell us every single last thing or it's not fair!" said Lilly.

"alright well he gave me a lift home from school the other day while it was raining and this is only the second time we are meeting." I said as we walked home.

"oh so I geuss that magic man you were describing that you would have one day, well you already found him." Bethany said mockingly

"well I'm not too sure yet, like I said this is only the 2nd time we've met." I said shaking my head.

Eventually we all got to our houses but a big surprise waited outside mine which I don't think waited outside my friends. A huge bouquet of flowers waiting outside my door step. It was filled with purple and white flowers and gold ribbon around it.

I rushed up to it and found a card. It's read:

"good luck for tonight, wishing you all the luck in the world.

Michael
Xxx"

I looked up from the card and a smile rushed across my face. I looked back down at the flowers and smelt them.

I picked the flowers up and carried them inside the house. I placed them on the kitchen counter and my mom turned around while her eyes widened in surprise.

"well who's this from?" my mom asked while giving the flowers a smell.

"oh just someone I met the other day on my way back from school. I told him about my performance and then these appeared." I said telling the half truth.

"oh how lovely of him." my mother said.

My father walked into the room and his eyes fell immediately on the flowers then on me.

"and this? Who's this from?" my father asked looking at me.

"oh it looks like a boy fancys Jenny." my mother replied.

"what? I don't like that!" my father said sitting down by the kitchen table.

"oh stop it! She's growing up let it be!" my mother said stocking my hair.

"well I have a lot of homework I'm going to my room!" I said rushing out the conversation as fast as I could.

I went up and shut the door. I leaned on the door and my only reaction was a smile.
