High school for the arts

"Yeah, it'll only get worse if I don't go to school," I tell him, already thinking about how many people would be crowding around us. From being the female lead to not being able to dance at all, I think to myself. Hearing him, I nod slightly, knowing he was just trying to make me feel better.

Eric made the snack and brought it to her and sat down next to her eating some of his part. He had gotten them cheese and crackers. "Okay." He said to her. "I just want you to take it easy and not get too stressed out okay?" He said to her.

Taking a cracker as he sits down and puts down the plate, I listen to him. When he says he doesn't want me stressing out, I let out a sigh. "I know, but I also know if I take off more days of school, then I'll draw even more attention to myself for when I go back."

"I know. It also doesn't help that you are dating me." He said and sighed. "I wish you wouldn't have to go through everyone talking." He said and wrapped his arms around her and kissed her forehead.

"Yep, it's all your fault," I tease him with a small smile, but I could see he was really feeling bad about it. "Hey," I say softly, "it's okay. I love that I'm with you. Thank you for being here for me."

"Of course. I love being here with you." Eric said smiling a little at her. "I just wish I could do more to help." He said to her.

Smiling back at him, I say, "you being here is all the help I need." After a moment though, I come up with an idea. "Actually, there is one more thing you could do to make me feel better," I tell him, "you could dance for me. You know, you a good laugh." I was only teasing about the laughing part, Eric was actually getting better at dancing, though he still needed some work.

"I am glad that I can be here for you." He said and kissed her. "I guess I can dance for you but I am not good at coming up with dances and I have no idea how to dance just by you naming steps." He said to her. "I am not good with all of the names." He said and stood up and started to dance. It was better than it used to be but still not good at all. He sat back down when he finished.

I kissed him back before watching him stand up. "It doesn't have to be perfect, I just want to see you dance." Smiling as he dances, I watch him sit back down next to me. "You're getting better, especially considering where you started. Your teacher must have been great," I joke with him.

"Thank you. I mean she was okay." He said joking back with her. "Just joking. She is amazing. She also happens to be someone that I love very much." Eric said smiling at her.
