Dance your sorrows away. Dance like nobody is watching you.” [Jacqueline]

…….

[Jacqueline’s POV]

The teacher chose to stand on the stage while everyone else stood down discussing things with each other. There were a total of 40 students, which automatically led to the division of twenty couples. If we a***yzed each pair, Almost every paired boy was tall while the girl paired with him was short. Now it made sense as to why the teacher chose me and Rohan as a pair. Because of our height difference. We stood there in four rows each since I and Rohan had entered the Auditorium. At last, we were standing at the back too. Tina and her partner were standing adjacent to our position and honestly, she looked bored. Even though she was a student who lived for extracurricular activities like dance. It was perhaps for the reason that she was not happy with her partner. Her partner seemed very happy with her though, as he would glance at her now and then with a silly smile. I knew him

Like a Good girl, I stood there quietly waiting for teachers to finish whatever they wanted to say. Rohan on the other hand was restless, now and then he would steal glances at me while pretending to be nonchalant about it, which I would have not felt if I was like other girls who enjoyed the attention. But I wasn’t. I was the kind of person who could make out if a person had even seen me for a second and would feel conscious about it.

‘Why is he watching me like this? Stupid Guy.’

Meanwhile, I noticed Nina desperately trying to make friends with Jaan, it was sad to see though. Nina was better than him in every aspect and I wouldn’t want her to be related to the douchebag in any way. It was disrespectful to her. She’d sway her hands in front of his eyes to make sure his attention was on her even though Jaan seems to be searching for someone in the crowd. She would touch his arm now and then when he would crane his neck away from her. She held his hand and beamed like a kid who got his favorite candy. However, he was ignoring her completely. His wandering eyes met mine and I s***ed in a breath when he withheld his gaze on me. I gathered my fist and bit my lip trying to stop myself to show him a middle finger. The idea surprised me, I wasn’t the kind of person who would even think of doing that. It might even be considered taboo in our country but why did this idea feel so tempting to me.

Rohan’s sudden actions brought me out of my staring contest and thoughts as I found him standing in front of me. Face to face.

“I am excited about this rehearsal with you Annie.”

on my face. My face did fall but on his chest, it hurt but it was better than falling on the ground. The perfume he was wearing was too much and I ended up sneezing like the crazy girl in front of his face. He grimaced even though the liquid didn’t touch him in any way. He left my waist finally and I felt relief filling my insides. However, Rohan didn’t seem that comfortable as he took out a small bottle of sanitizer and sprayed it on his hands dramatically then smelled his hands and inhaled as if it would soothe him. If I wasn’t stressed about dancing in front of so many people I would have laughed at the

the shower a few times, sometimes belly dancing before but this time was different. I wasn’t the person to dance in front of so many people even if they were all teenagers like me. And that too with the opposite gender being so close to me. But Rohan
