Alex grins “Hey”

I offer a flat s my eyes to Nico

He stands frozen, glaring this ith a scowling Miranda beside him

She says so, and after a moment, I have her attention too

Slowly, a nasty smirk forms on her bitchy little face

She steps toward the rolling speaker to press pause and drags it to the center of the room

“Everyone, gather in the center and sit,” she instructs, quickly adding, “De if you would”

I force a blank stare but I do as she instructs, stepping forward a few feet and slightly to the left

“Why don’t you ditch the sweater” She lowers to her knees

Slowly, I untie the hoodie fro me in my stretchy workout shorts and sports bra

“Everyone, De to perforood idea of e’ll be doing Friday night”

I runmy shoulders in preparation

I don’t knohat she’s thinking, I have no reservations about perfor for people I’d dance in front of the President if he asked me to and not bat a damn lash

I knohat I’m capable of

She presses play and I do exactly as she asks, nota damn beat

She doesn’t look so s when the music stops and everyone cheers

“Again,” she snaps as she sits back, and Iwhen she calls out, “Alex Run through the first part with her”

Is she joking?

Alex steps up with no hesitation whatsoever, planting his chest to ut

I whip around, glaring at her “I’ this”

“Excuse me?” Miranda barks

“I said I’ this”

She crosses her ar me

I look at Nico, but he’s blocked frorips hly “Come on, just do what she asked”

I don’t even have time to peel his filthy hands offme to fall as well
