I nodded to each of the girls that came into the room, a little uncomfortable with meeting so many people right away. I wasn't used to being welcomed or anything, so I felt a little awkward. I put on a face but convincing smile. "Nice to meet you" I muttered before they left and James came in. Great. I tensed when he put a hand on Maria, taking a step closer to him when she slapped him away and walked to the other side of the room. "Hey, hands off my girlfriend. She obviously doesn't like you, so stop trying so hard. She's taken," I snapped, challenging James to defy me. I fixed him with a cold glare that said I obviously didn't want his welcome. "You might be her dance partner, but that's it. She's made it clear that she doesn't want to be around you, so why don't you just buzz off and annoy someone else?"

(( ohmygosh I am so sorry for not posting for days! I've been kind of caught up in other stuff and I almost forgot about this!
I'm also in a small writer's block, so sorry about that ))

//It’s fine. I’ve been super busy with auditions for theatre arts school//

James glared and grabbed Cole’s shirt yanking him forward, “What Do you have that I don’t? You’re just some scrawny newbie and she’s already fallen for you?” He glared at Cole, “I’ve danced with her since childhood I’ve helped her with so much! What makes you any better than me?” He shouted turning Cole against the wall raising a fist. “I’ve been nice! I’ve been perfect for her Ive learned what she liked and all her favorites I’ve done everything to impress her and you just seem to suddenly waltz in and she’s all yours? That is not fair!”

I heard James and turned my eyes widening, could he really be this dense? Even towards Cole? Oh boy, I watched him grab Cole’s shirt and that’s when I drew the line. I walked over and put a hand on Jame’s shoulder, “Well we’ll never dance together if you beat the daylights out of Cole. In fact you’ll get kicked out.” I sigh and smile at Cole over Jame’s shoulder, “Besides James trying to impress me doesn’t impress me at all, I’m more attracted to personality, and your’s isn’t that great”

I tried to shove James away when he grabbed my shirt, but he didn't budge. I was tempted to kick him in a place where no guy wants to be kicked, but I had a feeling that starting a fight would not be good for a new student. It would be James' word against mine and I knew who everyone would believe. "I dunno, maybe the fact that I'm not a total ***hat?" I spat back when he questioned what made me better than him. I knew it was rhetorical, but with this smart mouth of mine, I had to speak. Even though I was pressed against the wall, I still had to scoff in disbelief as he continued to speak. "She's not mine. In fact, she isn't anyone's. She isn't some object to be won, you dolt. And for the record, I wouldn't be surprised if you never find a girlfriend. No one likes a desperate guy," I muttered the last part, expecting to feel a hit coming or something, but nothing happened. Then after a moment, I heard Maria's voice. I stifled a sigh of relief, waiting for James to release me. Hah! Burn! Must suck to be rejected like that. I stepped away from James, pushing his hand off me. "Don't touch me... Jerk."
I looked at Maria and sighed a little. "I can't believe you have to dance with him," I muttered once he was gone. "If he tries anything... Kick his [bleep] for me. Then let me know so I can do it myself."

I couldn’t believe this. James was acting like such a child. I shook my head my eyes blazing with a dark hate. “James I don’t think we can dance together” His face crumpled as he sneered, “Excuse me?im the only reason you can dance” I looked upset and I clenched my fist and moved forward shoving James into wall, Thank sweet Jesus it was study hall. James glared at me, “You know it’s true” I kneed him right between the legs and he dropped to the ground groaning. The triplets backed up laughing as they stepped next to Cole. “Now I see why you do get along” Tara giggled as she watched James groan on the floor and I grabbed her bag my eyes furious, “Cole I’ll show you to the music hall” I smile and wave to the triplets as I walked down the hall towards the music hall. “I can’t dance with him again. He is a pretentious and arrogant.” I sighed pushing open a door quietly, “Here’s one of the main piano room” It literally was a room full of cubicals each large enough with a piano, “The rooms are soundproof for working”
