practicing

Chapter 6

I was surprised when Ryle suddenly put his arms around me while smiling at me I just said, sometimes my suspicions really come true.

"I've been noticing for a while that you call Saelah different." Jacob is still good, we noticed.

I saw that the four were stunned before teasingly looking at Jacob. "Do it too, you seem jealous."

Jacob immediately frowned. "Alright, you thought you were the only ones." he said arrogantly before acting thoughtful.

We were still walking on our way to practice. First we will go to the music room and the last is the dance room.

We will first think of the song to use before the dance that will go with our song I hope it goes well so that I won't be shy while dancing, it's next week no matter how many times I say it, I'm already nervous about the outcome of our performance.

I really can't avoid it especially since my partner in this performance is the Aces who are talented, not only in singing but also in dancing.

I can do that too, maybe I'll just trust my talent and not let the Aces down.

“Aha!” I suddenly looked at Jacob who yelled as if he had thought of something. He looked at me with a wide smile.

"You don't mind if I call you, mine?"

Surprise appeared on my face because of the suddenness, Mine? If someone hears what he said, it's an issue again!

"Hey! What kind of mine are you there." Ryle snorted.

"Why? The nickname I chose is so good, so unique." Jacob said with a smile "Don't do that, change it." Krox said.

"You look like a jowa." Ryle added.

"Are you guys going to fight there or should we practice?" Russel replied so we all looked at him.

"Practice more." the three promised at the same time.

"That's right." He looked at me before grabbing my wrist and pulling me away. "It will take us longer if you don't come with me." Russel promised.

He was right, the three are always messy, I barely turned around and the four were just behind us, but Aziel was in the lead and the three ungas were behind him.

Aziel and I looked at each other so I smiled at him and he smiled back at me I turned my gaze back to the front because I might fall and it's embarrassing for those five because they might say I'm clumsy.

We got to the music room and sat where we sat yesterday for our meeting "It's good that we apologize to our subject teachers because of the event that will be held next week." Jacob said smiling.

"You're so happy because you're not stressed." Ryle was pissed at him.

"Are you the excuse for class, who wouldn't be happy." Krox said.

"That's enough." The three fell silent when the one next to me spoke. "If you still remember what we talk about yesterday, we performed three songs and added 'thrill' to it." He really suppressed the thrill while looking at me "For the first song, Aelah and I will sing." it stopped and looked at me again. "What song do you want to sing?" it asked.

I immediately thought, I can't choose anything because of the number of songs. "I do not know either." I promise. “What genre do you want to sing? Sad songs or love songs?” I'm asking again here.

"That's a very sad song." Krox said suddenly.

“Exactly accurate.” Ryle also promised.

"We know very well, Krox." Jacob added.

Aziel just shook his head when he saw that Russel's look was bad, so the three of them seemed to notice that they raised their hands as if they were giving up Russel's gaze turned to me again so I was a little surprised. "Let's mix it together."

"You mean, love and sad at the same time?" I asked and he nodded.

I immediately nodded and the song made me think of that genre. A song immediately came to my mind before I told him.

He agreed with my suggestion so I breathed a sigh of relief. "For the second song, the five of us will sing and Aelah is the role model and not only Aelah but also our audience." it promises.

"Is the song for girls?" Aziel asked making Russel nod.

"That's easy, I thought of something right away." Jacob promised.

"What is it?" Russel asked.

Jacob said the songs right away so they agreed as well as I because it looked like what they were going to sing was thrilling.

"It was like a snake when we only sang one song in the second song." Aziel promised. "Let's add another song so that others can feel what we are expressing."

"Okay then." Russel agreed. "People can't do anything if we add something, don't say anything. To surprise." I just shook my head at what Russel said.

"What is the third one?" Aziel asked.

"This is the hardest." Russel leaned back in the chair and crossed his arms. "I can't think of a song that can be danced to."

I saw that the four were thinking so I thought too.

What can be a song that can be mixed with dance?

It was like a light went on in my head when I thought of something. I looked at Russel who was still deep in thought.

"I have one." I said here so he looked at me, not only him but all five of them.

"What is it?" I discussed with him what I choose.

The five nodded. "That song is very touching, aren't you sensitive when someone touched you?" Aziel asked.

"It depends on the situation, if it's for our performance. Then I can make it.” I promise.

"I have already thought of a choreo for that song you've chosen, Aelah." Russel promised. "This dance is a little touchy and I will really touch you." he said so I swallowed a little and was still a little scared Where will he touch me?

"Only you?" Krox frowned.

"How about us?" Jacob's addition.

Russel raised an eyebrow. "You are not allowed to touch her, I'm the one and only allowed."

HUH?

I looked at Russel with wide eyes but his face was very serious.

"That's unfair!" Ryle said with a sneer.

"Tsk." Russel growled.

I just scratched my head because of what they were all saying.

"Let's go to the dance room, let's practice dancing because it's still a little early." Russel promised.

We got up together and left the music room to go straight to the dance room and practice there.

When we got there, we entered and the vast dance studio opened up to us.

"Let's first think of steps that will fit the song we have chosen." Russel promised.

Krox took his cell phone from his pocket before approaching a speaker and turned it on, he pressed a button on his cell phone and suddenly the music started playing.

That's the song we chose, Russel told us his choreo plan and we did it.

After we finished practicing, I just sat on the floor because of exhaustion. I'm already sweating because we danced earlier.

I have more roles in dancing, actually Russel and I have quite a few, but we all really move.

We're almost halfway through the song so we're proud to be able to finish quickly.

We suggested all the steps and then just connected them where the beat would fit.

The outcome was good, so I'm getting a little excited about what will happen at the event and the performance of the six of us.

"You're good at dancing too." Aziel replied while wiping himself because he was also sweating profusely.

I looked at the others who were doing the same but they were all looking at me because of what Aziel said.

"I thought you didn't know?" Ryle promised.

"I lied." I promise. "I'm really smart but I stopped dancing a long time ago so I thought I wouldn't be able to dance again and my body has hardened."

"Your body is so soft." Krox said smiling.

He received a blow from Ryle. "You really beat it."

"You're stupid again." Krox promised irritably.

The two teased and Jacob joined in so the three of them made noise again, I just shook my head because of their rudeness. I never thought that they would be like this when they get together.

"You're great." I lost my attention on the three when I heard someone speak next to me.

When I turned around, Russel's face opened up to me smiling. I immediately felt shy because of the closeness of his face to mine.

"It's just a little bit." I barely swallowed because I still stammered a bit.

My whole body is still terrified because of our dance, I hope they don't bash me when they see our dance.

I'm also worried about the reaction of some people, especially after that event, many people will make videos and post them on social media.

It's possible that Karina saw that, then she suddenly came back here.

I bite my lips, why do I feel like I don't want Karina to come back here? This is not me, I shouldn't be like this.

"Hey, you're spacing out." I felt shaken so I came to my senses. "Let's go, it's already break time. Let's eat first before practicing again." Russel promised.

I just nodded and followed her out of the dance room. We need to eat because I'm hungry because we've been practicing for a while so we really need a rest.

Everywhere I look, there are so many people looking at my partner that I can't blame him because he's so handsome.

"Omg, they look so hot!"

"Ahhh! The po-pogi!”

"Did they just finish practice?"

"Maybe, they're still sweating."

"Even though it's sweaty, it's still handsome."

"The girl is with them."

"Probably, that's with them to perform."

"But wait, why are they sweating, they just sang?"

"Omg... don't tell me..."

"How rude of you! I saw them practicing in the music room so don't be rude there."

It's like I breathed a sigh of relief because a woman said, it's good that she defended me or us because if not, it's really a serious issue.

My friends didn't say anything either, so I didn't pay attention because I just looked straight ahead and didn't want to look back at those who were whispering We arrived at the cafeteria, Krox and Ryle ordered for us so we just sat down.

I looked around and a lot of people were looking at us, especially my friends, especially since they were all sweaty and they looked really hot.

Krox and Ryle arrived with food. "Here's your order, ma'am and sir." I laughed when Krox and Ryle said that at the same time.

They put the food down before sitting down. "Hey! Thank you and sit down." Ryle said.

"My legs are so tired." Krox added.

"Let's eat, let's practice later." Russel promised.

"We're almost done, we're almost halfway through the steps." I looked at Jacob when he spoke.

"You are fast learners, especially Aelah." Russel said while looking at me.

"I feel that we are perfect in performance because you two are partners, you are equally good at it." Ryle said.

"Ryle is right." Aziel agreed while eating fries.

"Of course, my partner was very careful." Russel turned to me at the same time.

I just smiled at him because I was a little nervous.

"I should be Love's partner." Jacob snorted.

The four of them stopped at the same time and violently turned to Jacob's habit of biting the burger in his mouth.

Jacob stopped eating and slowly turned to his companions who were looking at him.

He scratched his head before raising his hand.

"Hey, peace."

We finished eating so we hung out for a while in the cafeteria to digest what we ate before getting up and going back to the dance room to practice.

We just practice until we get the steps and until the whole song is finished.

I just fell on the floor because I felt so tired, I breathed a sigh of relief because our suffering was over.

We finished the dance in just one day so for sure there will be nothing to do tomorrow, or maybe we will practice again until nothing is really wrong.

Maybe we will also practice singing, so that our voice and movements can improve even more.

I just lay on the floor and looked up at the ceiling while catching my breath.

“Congratulations guys!” I applauded, followed by four others.

"Thank god and we're done with the dance." Krox said smiling while wiping his own face from sweat.

"Nope, we're not done yet." Russel said while holding a water bottle. "Let's still practice tomorrow so that we can improve our movements as well as singing, let's practice more." he drank the water he was holding.

I just swallowed because I could clearly see his adams apple. I sat down before standing up again, I went to my bag and took the towel to wipe myself.

I caught up with Ryle who was also wiping, sweating profusely. Actually, we're all really sweaty.

I just shook my head before approaching Ryle. "Your towel is mine and I will wipe your back." I even saw Ryle surprised by my sudden appearance.

"Really?" I was so surprised by this behavior that I just nodded.

He gave me his towel so I took it. "It's bad to dry up with sweat, you might get sick." I promised before lifting his clothes to wipe his back.

I still slightly stared at his back, the white one! then the back is smooth. Hope it's all like this! I feel like mine is just a scratch.

I put my hand inside his clothes before wiping it and left the towel behind him to absorb the sweat and transfer it to the towel.

I patted his back. "Finished." I promise.

He smiled at me. "Thank you." it promises.

I just smiled at him as a response that I welcomed, I took my water before drinking.

I saw a snotty Jacob approaching us while also holding the towel. He handed it to me so I stopped drinking before looking at him in surprise.

"Wipe me too." it promises.

"Not you." Ryle said. "You're jealous again." it's still teasing.

"So what." it gruffly yielded before turning to me. "Wipe me too." it said again.

I just shook my head and took the towel from his hand before going behind him, I can see how crazy he got excited.

I also lifted her clothes in the back like I did with Ryle, I was a little snorted because her back was also smooth and then the backs would widen.

It's behind you, you know it's okay.

Then I also left the towel on his back like Ryle's, it's like they were in elementary school with a towel on their back.

I smiled a little at that thought, they are just so cute.

I felt something on my shoulder, so when I turned around, it was also a towel in front of me.

When I looked at who was reaching, I saw Krox smiling. "Me too." it promises.

I only slightly scratched my head because they took turns putting a towel on me I took it without saying a word and immediately wiped his back and left the towel.

I was speechless as I went in front of Aziel and took the towel from his hand before going behind him and wiping it too.

That's what I did to Russel that they were the same as Aziel who just looked at me but the eyes also wanted to think but didn't just speak.

So I'm the one who took the initiative to put it on her, because it's embarrassing for her When I was honest with Russel, I took his towel without saying anything and sat behind him, I saw that he didn't budge.

"Why are you doing this?" it promises.

I smiled even though he couldn't see me because his back was turned. "Maybe you'll get sick when you're dry with sweat." I promised before patting its back. "Finished."

It faced me. "Thank you." he promised with a smile. "No one has ever done this to us." My forehead suddenly wrinkled.

Does that mean Karina hasn't done this yet? "Yes, he hasn't done it yet." My eyes widened when he answered the question in my mind.

"Wait, how do you know what I'm thinking?" I asked in surprise.

He laughed and patted my forehead.

"It's obvious from your expression."
