Chapter 10: Chapter 10

BELLA

He stared at me like he has seen a ghost. "Bella," he whispered. I widened my eyes and he whispered a sorry. I ignored him.

"Join the rest and make sure you don't come late next time" He murmured some inaudible words but I couldn't get what he was saying. He walked away before I could say a word so I groaned. I watched as girls winked at him. Some were sending him kisses. I found myself feeling so angry and thought I would blow up. I tried to keep my calm. When some girls tried to touch him, I lost my temper. "Hey, you're disturbing my class" I yelled

They all turned to face me and I chuckled nervously. They must have noticed the tone of my voice. "I-i mean your giggles" I stuttered. He stared at me but on second thought, I guess took his gaze away. His friend smiled at me and I relaxed. After gaining my confidence back, I spoke up, "everyone up, up, up. Form a straight line"

They arranged themselves in a straight line. "Well, I'm Mirabella, you can call me, Bella and I am your new dance instructor"

As usual, I got the wow and what sound. Most of them were surprised. They must have thought I was a new or transfer student. "If I heard you correctly, You said you will be taking us?" A guy asked

"You heard me correctly. I am your new instructor". Another round of wow and what echoed. I raised my hand and they kept shut. "It isn't time to murmur. We need to get to work". I moved to the left. "I'm sure you all know what music and dance are all about and how important they have become in society". They nodded. I watched them, to see if their attentions were channeled to me or not. When I saw that their attentions were with me, I continued. "Now, I will like to see you all dance. One after the other though, or maybe two" I walked closer to the stereo system. My bag was beside it. I brought out the music disc I had in it and bent down. I placed it in the stereo system and began to check out the music until I got the one I wanted. I picked up the remote control and paused the music and then stood up to face them. I pointed at two girls. "You and you. Let's see your dancing step"

I played the music and they began to dance. In twos, they come up stage to dance. Soon, it was Mr. Rude and his friend's turn to dance. They had waited for everyone to dance. The way they walked up the stage made me want to wonder if they were real dancers or pretended. Girls were yelling and throwing kisses at them. Their attentions were more focused on Mr. Rude than it was on his friend. He smiled at them and I felt like ripping his head off. When they finally get to the stage, I thought the noise would die down but it didn't and as much as I tried to keep them calm, it wasn't working, so I gave up. "Music, please, miss Bella," the rude guy said. I could sense sarcasm especially when he called 'miss Bella'. I guess he finds it difficult calling me miss. Maybe that's because I ended up his lecturer after he was been rude to me in the library. I played the music and watched them dance. I must say, they had good dance steps, especially the rude guy. I could see why girls troop after him like swarms of flies. When they were done dancing, claps and shouts erupted and for a moment, I thought I was going to go deaf. He winked at me and I glared. He smiled and walked down the stage. I stared at him in shock. That was the first time I saw him smile at me. When the noise finally died down, I spoke. "You all have a nice dance step, but you still have to work on your steps. Dance is more than the movement of the body. It deals with your emotions too. You should learn to pour out your emotions through dance". When I ended my sentence, they clapped. I give the. Few other tips and wanted to dismiss them but Mr. Rude raised his hand. I wondered what he wanted to say but when he smirked, I knew he was up to no good. I decided to ignore him. "Let's call it a day"

"But I have a question"

I rolled my eyes. "There is no time for questions"

"But I have the right to ask questions right?"

I groaned. What exactly is he trying to prove here?. "Yes. You have the right to ask questions, but as I said, there is no time for questions". I picked up my bag. "You should head home. We all meet here tomorrow by 4 pm, no late coming," I said, staring at him. He wasn't looking at me. Rather he was staring at the floor. I shrugged and turn to leave but his voice made me stop. "Ain't you suppose to show us some dance steps, miss Bella". I batted my lashes. He wants me to dance?. I froze to my spot wondering if I heard him well. "As a dance instructor, you should be able to do a step or two, you know". I wanted to ignore him and walk pit but I noticed the rest of the students who were already close to the door by the time he spoke were already returning. I groaned and turn. What exactly does he want?. See me dance or what?. "I think you should show us your step. We want to know if you can dance"

I folded my hand. "And what valve does it add to you?" He furrowed his brows. "I mean if I dance what value does he add to you?"

He smiled. "We get to know if our dance instructor can dance. That's a value to us" he turned to face his mates. "Or am I wrong?"

The rest shouted a no"

I batter my lashes. They are serious about seeing me dance. It wasn't like I can't dance, it was just that I know Mr. Rude, or whatever his name is, is trying to play me. I rolled my eyes. "I won't dance"

He began to shout. "Dance, dance, dance!!"

One after the other, they joined him. I had no option but to say yes to their request. I raised my hand in defeat. "Ok, I will dance"

He clapped and the rest shouted. I went to drop my bag and walked up to the stage. He walked past me and whispered. "You dance to the turn of my song"

I raised my brows. What is he talking about?. I watched him change the disc and I waited for him to select whatever song he had planned to play, my heart began to beat faster than its normal rate. It was like my heart will be out of my body in the next moment. He stood up, walked back to his space, and then stare at me. His lips curved into a mischievous smile. He raised the remote control slowly and the beat began. As I listen to the beat my eyes dilated in shock. What the heck is this!!!.
