Still The Same Wednesday When I head back inside, I see we're practising of in groups. This puts me in a bit of a rough spot as I'm at a way higher level than the other kids. Annoyingly I don't know enough to dance in Advanced. I sigh. The troubles of being mediocre. I plop down my EXPLODING dance bag, and scootch over to a mirror. A chorus of "she's back!" accompanies me. The little leprechaun demons of doom (trademark pending) dance about, rejoicing my return. Man, are they ridicolous.. But the grin falls of my face, as the icky 'she' feeling re-emerges. "Well" I say to nobody/myself/the infinite void/Anakin Skywalker's spirit. "Well" I say again. Then get a start to good old Saint Patricks Day. Ten minutes later somebody calls something out. Deciphering it through the talking, music, hard shoes, yelling dancing and leap frogging etc. was a fools quest. And I may be a fool, but my brain was not up for this. The killjoy! My problem was mostly solved when everyone sort of moved over to the line. So I followed, but with everyone staring at me, I figured I didn't know something important. In hindsight I really should've taken my mid day dex."Errr, soo?" I umm. Damn you spoken words! I look around; confused. Now the doom leprechauns (and two instructors) were cackling, and I'm just standing there awkwardly. A teacher says something, but I can't make it apart from the other noise. "Sorry" I say. "What was that again?". Now every one is trying not to laugh (or rolling on the floor in tears) and I am soo embarrassed. I have half a mind to run away screaming, but ultimately I decide against it. Also my feet are stuck to the ground and I couldn't move if I wanted to. Amy leans over, taking pity on me. I lift one side of my ear protector up and she whispers "This is the pre-begginer dance". My whole face lights up red, and not just because my crush is so close to me. I rush over to where Amy's pointing and we go sit down. Now everyone's laughing, me included. Also I am NEVER living this down. I cringe just thinking about it.
