《Cherry Scent》XVI. Dancing
Advertisement
I was on the dance team back at home, killed it everytime I was at a competition. Now I'm watching Isla kill it, from the stands, in my sweat pants..
~ Scarlett's POV ~
I was quite bored with the day already, I turned fifteen and nothing changed other than the fact I was going to take my driver's license in a few days from now.
I haven't been to a dance competition since I got here, I missed it if I was being honest.
I changed into a crop top tank and sweatpants grabbed put my hair in a ponytail and walked downstairs.
My dad was awake and watching baseball, I smiled and grabbed an apple along with my water bottle.
"I'm going to a dance thing, I've heard there's a team some blocks down."
My dad looked away from the TV and looked at me, he stood up and kissed my forehead before walking back to the living room to watch the game.
I walk outside and began to walk to the dance place, once I arrived I walked to the seats and watched as girls began to practice.
They were amazing, I learned that the girl who I was watching, her name is Isla.
She danced amazing, she was carefree and very majestic with it.
It's been an hour and I was watching Isla do cartwheels, I felt a tap on my shoulder.
Jaden smiled at me and sat beside me.
"Your dad said you were here, why are you watching kids like a creep?"
He asked making me laugh.
I was on the dance team back at home, killed it everytime I was at a competition. Now I'm watching Isla kill it, from the stands, in my sweat pants...
That sounded so depressing, but it was the truth.

I didn't miss dance as much as I missed baseball, I just loved feeling free everytime a song came on.
"Why don't you dance instead of baseball?"
Jaden asked, I sighed and took a moment to answer.
It was a good question that I wasn't ready to answer yet, I had only joined so my mother had a daughter that enjoyed doing things with girls around her own age.
It was so I could enjoy being around people who felt the same way I did.
I wish I said that, it would have given him a good description on what life was like when both parents together was like.
But instead, I sighed and:
"Baseball is something I love, not dance."
Jaden nodded and grabbed my hand, we walked out of there and walked around.
I like having these little moments with him, they were so special.
We were in front of his house, we walked inside and I was greeted by his family.
I already got to know DJ, Jessica, Jayla and Daelo.
Javon was someone I already knew but yet he still managed to surprise me on what he does or loves.
Like three days ago, I was walking home and he was doing flips and handstands.
He then told me he was into gymnastics which was cool, he showed me some tricks and tips.
Ever since then, he always told me what he loves.
Jaden and I got upstairs to his room and I sat down, we were talking about dumb things while scrolling through Netflix.
Soon we gave up on what to watch and played some music, I danced along to different songs.
It was fun watching Jaden dance with me, he was fun to watch as well.
He put on a slow song and asked me to dance which was cheesy but I wasn't about to turn that down.

I grabbed his hand and soon wrapped my hands around his neck as he repeated the actions to my waist.
I laid my head down on his chest and listened to his heart beat which was now increasing fast.
I smiled to myself as I knew my heart was the same way, I looked up at him.
It was a view I'd love to see everyday, he looked down at me and smiled slowly.
I watched as he leaned down, I closed my eyes as we leaned in.
Before our lips connected, the door open.
I moved back from him and turned around.
At the door was Daelo, he was smiling and wanted me to come play with him.
I said yes because he is my favorite Walton sibling, we played different games before the sun went down.
Once it did, I walked home.
Although I wanted us to kiss, I was glad we didn't.
A friendship needs to be perfected and secured before we do anything that would take us to the next level, it was perfectly fine.
I had everything I wanted in my head planned already, once I knew we were good friends, I would ask him on a date.
We would go to a roller skating rink and we would have a good time, soon there would be a slow song playing and I would dance with him the way we did today.
But this time, with consent, we would kiss.
It was going to be magical and amazing, although plans don't always work, I wanted to be with him.
Even if I had to wait a thousand years for him, I'd still wait to be with him.
I was glad that we were going to know each other for almost what now?
Two months already, I promise to wait until at least we are seven months.

A World Forgotten
***This story will contain lite-litrpg elements, mainly character pages and a town page. There will also be settlement building and adventuring, missteps and achievements. But one thing it definitely won’t have is a harem. Nor will it have an overpowered MC. Contains mild cursing.*** ***feel free to critique my writing and offer input. This is my first venture into writing. I've always enjoyed litrpg/gamelit books. I feel like I write how I talk, so it may be a little different. You won't hurt my feelings if you see something wrong or out of place! *** ***What follows is a condensed part of chapter 1. Enjoy!*** Drew Cooper is thrust into a new, unfamiliar world. Waking up in his sweats and t-shirt near what seems to be a forgotten path through some woods, he struggles coming to terms that he's no longer in his apartment. As he tries to cope with his new reality, he hears a horse coming down the path. He hides behind a nearby tree dreading what may happen next. As the horse approaches, he sees a man walking next to it. The horse is burdened with packs and gear. When the man nears, Drew nearly panics. He has a large sword strapped to his waist, obviously a fighter. He continues to hide as the man slowly passes only for the man to stop a dozen meters past his hiding spot. "You may as well come out, ya know. You weren't as well hidden as you thought," the man stated matter-of-factly, letting the horse’s reins go and putting his hand on the hilt of his sword. Slowly and scared for his life, Drew raised up and walked from behind the tree. "I-I'm sorry. I wasn't planning on attacking you. I-I don't know where I am. I heard your horse and hid. I didn't know what you'd do if you saw me. I'm sorry," he nervously blurted out. A minute passed. Then two. The man seemed interested with Drew and stepped closer, eyes squinting as if trying to see something. "What's that on your shirt? Is that. What is that? Is that, Pac-man?" The man was visibly shaken while pointing at me. Looking down at his t-shirt nervously, "Yea. Yea. I woke up here a few hours ago I think. 3 maybe 4 hours. I’ve just been sitting here. Where am I? What's going on?" Drew asked. "That's not important right now," the man replied. " What's important is where you're from. What year is it?" "What year? April something 2020. Why? What's going on?" Drew continued now worried. The man was taken aback. After a few moments, he seemed to calm himself some. The man sighed and looked at Drew in earnest. "Well, I've got good news and bad news for ya. Bad news is you're not on Earth anymore. Good news is you happened to run into me and not someone else. You’re either really lucky, or it’s fate we met in these woods, and I don’t believe in luck." The man continued to walk towards Drew while talking and put out his hand. "I'm John Mitchell from St. Louis or thereabouts. You’ve got nothing to be scared of by me. Walk with me and let’s talk."

I'm pretty confident in my ability to read it and understand it but there is a big gap between that and being able to properly write.My grammar being already "not so great" in my own language it makes sense to not expect a flawless one in another one. I'm getting better at it and invite readers to suggest any changes on the matter but if it's a deal-breaker for you you should pass or come back at a later date.Possibly in the future, I will look for someone to help me but if you read those world it's not the case yet.
