Chapter 8

Can't I be the one?

**OMG PISSED OFF. I wrote out this whole chapter and then...chrome just closed *creys* Anyways it's 4:00am re-writing this...**

Mr Lee's voice caught everyone's attention. "Aaraso everyone...you know what time it is right?"  He said clapping his hands together. 
Everyone instinctively gathered In a circle and waited patiently for whoever was going to do their solo. 
Kai sat right next to you. As soon as he did you opened your mouth. "I wonder who it is, isn't it exiting? Who do you think it is?" You beamed.
Kai just shook his head and smiled. Ohh _____, just you wait. This performance will be what you least expect it to be...

The lights dimmed and people started whispering "Ommo...I love his solos they're always so cool!" you heard a girl whisper.
Wait...so people knew who it was? 
Tao had determination and passion in his eyes watching you behind the curtain. "_____ today I'll show you my cool side, I'm determined...this dance is for you." Tao thought as walked out from the curtain.

Just when you were about to ask Kai who it was that was dancing, Tao stepped out into the spotlight. You could hear girls squealing quietly and whispering.
Tao had changed his shirt into a shiny turquoise top with little black tassels hanging off it...kinda like a peacock. 
Suddenly the music started playing. It was fast and heavy, but Tao moved to it like second nature. 
The entire thing sent shivers down your spine, it was like you were watching some sort of magic show.
Tao was just so swift and agile. The heavy metal music boomed through the whole studio whilst Tao flipped and turned, it was nothing you'd ever seen before.
"Ommo Tao...where did this come from?" You gasped, putting your hand over your mouth.

Half way through the performance Tao picked up a wushu stick from the ground and started doing some tricks with it, suddenly he dropped to the floor and pushed the wushu stick aside, which sent it flying almost half way across the room.
Your jaw had dropped in amazement, everyone stared at Tao in awe.
His intensity and strength astonished you, you had been used to this cute little panda who was caring and wouldn't hurt a fly. Seeing this side of Tao shocked you, but in a good way. He was kinda...y.
Tao ended his performance with a butterfly twist and a powerful pose and all at once the performance was over. Everyone was silent for a few seconds before people got up and applauded Tao for his amazing performance. 
But Tao only cared for one persons opinion.
"Did you like it?" Tao said eagerly, still out of breath. 
You punched Tao's arm lightly "Of course I liked it! I loved it! Tao, you're amazing! My little Kung fu panda." You beamed.
A huge smile grew on Tao's face. "She called me Kung fu panda...I bet Kai doesn't have a nickname like that." Tao thought.

After everyone had finished complementing Tao on his dance Mr Lee gathered everyone round and you started dancing to the choreography. 
It took longer this time because the choreography was harder. Some people struggled a lot with it whilst others including you found it fun and challenging. 
After what seemed like a lifetime of dancing Mr Lee made an announcement. "yeoreobeun I have some important news to tell you." 
Everyone stared at Mr Lee intensely.
"Okay so as you know the youngsook studio fun day is coming up. And as usual you're expected to dance, although this year though I've decided that you guys will be in pairs. You can then choreograph your own routine with your partner, for that you guys can set up a schedule for when you'll be using the studio...also I will be picking your partners."

You looked around to all the people scooting over to the people they wanted to be partners with. 
Your palms became sweaty with nervousness. Everyone else had a friend here that they wanted to be partners with. Except you. 
Of course you had Tao and Kai but they'd probably want to be partners with each other considering the fact that they were best friends. 
You stepped aside awkwardly as Mr Lee chose the pairs at Random, this gave you some hope.
At least it would be a random partner, maybe you could make some friends here.

But when it came your turn Mr Lee simply said "Kai and _____ you will be a pair." And walked ahead to assign the next pair. 
All eyes were on you now, Including Tao's which seemed like they were going to pop out at any moment.  you heard a couple of girls whine and sigh at the fact that Kai wasn't their partner "Lucky girl gets to dance with Kai, she's only been here for a week that's so unfair." You overheard a girl say.
You didn't know how to feel, you were exited, scared, happy and nervous all at the same time. But you just coolly smiled at Kai. "Let's make our performance Jjang." You said putting a thumbs up
Kai nodded and smiled back "I was actually hoping you would be my partner _____." Kai whispered to you.
You could feel your cheeks going red. "ommo ____stop blushing!"  you scolded yourself.

Tao could feel his whole face going red...with anger. "How comes Kai gets partnered up with _____ out of all the girls in the studio, it's just my luck that I'm not partnered up with her." Tao sulked to himself.
He really couldn't understand why he was getting so jealous I mean you were just a friend and Kai was his best friend who already had a girlfriend whom he loved.  He really couldn't understand why he was acting this way.
"I don't like _____...do I? I've only known her for a week though." Tao shook the thought out of his head.
Mr Lee came round to Tao and assigned him with another girl in class that did Kung-fu, she was very quiet and didn't really speak to anyone but she was very flexible and her kung-fu was almost as good as Tao's.
"So much for random picking." Tao mumbled as he saw the girl walk over to him sheepishly.
"Hi I'm Victoria, it's nice to meet you." The girl said holding out her hand.
(A/N yes, I mean victoria from f(x) cos alkdjgb did youu see that performance with her and Tao at sbs? DAAYYYUMMM GURRL.)
Tao bowed to her and smiled, but all the while he couldn't help but stare at you. I don't like _____ right?
...or do I?

Kai had a million Ideas for the dance you two were going to do. It was going to start slow and gentle and then remix into a hip hop style dance.
You and Kai had sat opposite each other on the studio floor, like a lot of the other pairs and were discussing what you were going to do for the fun day.
Kai knew what moves you two were going to do, what music, clothing...everything. You just sat there in admiration, you had nothing to say as Kai had everything already sorted, plus you didn't mind just staring at his face pretending to listen. 
"So what do you have to say about that?" Kai said clapping his hands together.
You snapped out of your daze. "mhhm what? oh..yeah that sounds great lets do that."
Kai pokerfaced you. "_____ were you even listening?" he said crossing his arms.
You blushed. "Sorry Kai, I was day dreaming." You said coyly
Kai ruffled you hair and smiled "It's okay pabo, you didn't miss much." 

You and Kai continued talking about what you were going to do for your performance. 
Tao couldn't help but keep looking over at you two every so often.
"You like her don't you?" Victoria said lifting her chin in your direction.
Tao became stiff "NO...w-what are you talking about no I don't...why are you asking me this?" Tao said defensively.
The girl simply laughed. "Hey I'm not stupid, just admit it. I won't tell her or anything." she said nudging Tao's arm.
Tao looked the girl up and down "you know, for a quiet girl you sure know how to talk." Tao thought. 
But when he looked over at you he got butterflies in his stomach, you hair fell perfectly and your bangs framed your face so nicely. 
The studio lights made you glow and when you smiled it made Tao smile.
He thought about it for a second.

Maybe I do like _____.
