11:15 Drama and Dance

Leafy's POV:
Today we were going to have the very first Drama & Dance Period since January. I sat down in my seat. In this class, Firey sat beside me. He smiled as he sat in his seat. Our DD teacher, Mrs. Alia, made her way to the front of the room. "Alright, Class, Listen Up. Today we will be doing our very first Dance period. We will be focusing on a very important dance move that you will use in your high school years for the prom. You all will learn how to do the basic slow dance." I stared at Mrs. Alia. I had no problem dancing slowly, it was the part that we would need to practice with a partner of the opposite gender that made me a little scared. "Now, I will be putting you in pairs." our teacher continued. "You must have a partner of the opposite gender, because there is a specific thing the male does and a specific thing the female does. If you have a partner your gender, you will not understand what you will do and what your future partner will do." I will put you in pairs with the closest person beside you in the opposite gender. Flower, you'll go with Eraser. Tennis ball, you'll go with Golf ball. Woody, you'll go with Match. Pencil, You'll go with Pen. And Leafy," started our teacher. I knew it was going to be Firey. No one else was left. "you'll be paired with Firey." she finished. Yup. Just like I predicted. I obviously blushed again. I looked at Firey. He blushed too. We all followed Mrs. Alia to the girl's gym in a single file line. Firey was behind me. As we entered the gym, our teacher turned on some slow music. I was happy and scared and embarrassed all at once. -Well,- I thought. -Here we go.-

Firey's POV:
"Now face your partner." said Mrs. Alia. "Look deep into their eyes." I looked at Leafy. She was beautiful with her light green long hair and her dark green long sleeve shirt that went well with her black leggings. This was perfect practice for the slow dancing I would ask Leafy to dance with me on V-Day. Now I looked into Leafy's eyes. She looked into mine. Our cheeks turned rosy red. But I smiled at her. Her cheeks turned an even darker rosy red as she smiled back. "Now, grab both of your partners hands." directed our teacher. Leafy didn't move. She seemed really shy. So I moved a step closer and grabbed both of her hands. She looked up at me and smiled. She wouldn't stop blushing though. But neither would I! "Now, males, slide your hands down to hold both sides of her hips." I slid my hands low to her waist. I started to feel my face getting hotter and hotter. This was getting kind of embarrassing. But I was glad that the day of the dance I would know how to properly escort Leafy. "Good. Now, I want the females to slide their hands up and rest them palm-downwards on his shoulders." continued Mrs. Alia. Leafy just stood there for a moment. Then she slid her hands onto my shoulders. At this point, her head was facing up directly at mine, which was looking down at hers. We were both embarrassed as hell. Like, our faces were 14 inches apart! Might seem far, but check for yourself on a ruler just how close that is! "Now," said Mrs. Alia. "Take one slide step to the left, then turn at a 90 degree angle, and do another slide step. Then turn at another 90 degree angle and do the final slide step. Repeat this three times." said our teacher. So Leafy and I slow danced around in a square, three times. We were both blushing so much!

Leafy's POV:
Firey and I just slow danced. Three times! I still couldn't believe it. "Now, I want you to get back into the slow dance position." said our teacher. Firey and I quickly went back into the slow dancing position, with my hands on his shoulders and his hands on my hips. "Now this is the part when you will get even more romantic. Now you get even closer to your partner and you will lay your head on your partners shoulder. Now the male's hands will move farther to behind his female's lower back, and hold her a little tighter." said Mrs. Alia. Firey moved his hands farther to my back and held tighter. "And the females will move their hands farther and extend it so that their arms are wrapped around the male's upper back, but her arms stay below th shoulders." she continued. So I did that. "And now your partner will lightly lay their head atop one of your shoulders. You should be as close to your partner as if you were hugging someone." I laid my head on Firey's shoulder. He laid his head on mine. My face was really hot now. We were so close. There was no space in beetween us for anything to fit. Well, except atoms. In fact, If our heads were directly facing in front of each other, we would be kissing. Yes, THAT close. "Do the same slow dancing steps. Repeat another 3 times." our teacher repeated. We slow danced 3 times in that position. I have to say the teacher was right. It did feel more romantic at the second part. The lunch dismissal bell rung. Time for lunch! I was still blushing. I have to say this February was definitely the most romantic I had ever gotten in my life! :)
