Pov: Linen
Oh my gosh, Of course, the time I don't straighten my hair, is that day he sees me. What are the chances we get partnered up, Gosh I think I might die. Calm down Linen Breath and stop staring. "Umm, this is Improv so we should take time to go over moves we might be able to do," I said trying to sound calm. "Uh, yeah," he responded finally, snapping out of shock. "So how long have you been dancing," I said, trying to start some sort of small talk "2 years," he said, grabbing my hand and moving closer. oh my gosh, "How long have you been dancing?" He asked back, stepping closer. " For 5 years" I answered. I had been dancing since I got to camp. "Wow, I didn't know I'd be dancing with a seasoned pro," He joked "Well then you better try harder," I said jokingly back. " I think we could try something like this," He said, leaning me back " Umm, yeah we could try some sort of swing," I said " That could be our main move and then we can use that to set our improv" I added, stepping back from his touch. I couldn't be too comfortable with this guy, he was still so strange.
Then the director Stephanie came up telling us that the competition was about to start, and handed us a sheet that told us the order of performances. We were second to last, so we had time to sit and watch the others. All performers sat in the front, we sat next to each other and watched as the others danced on the stage. It was so fast and it was already our turn. We got up there into our places, and the music started. It was an instrumental jazz-like song that reminded me of the song "While You Were Sleeping". We moved in such synchronicity. We twirled around the floor coming close and then moving apart, leaning into his arms, just fully feeling the music. Our swing fit perfectly, and we seemed to be working well together. Then it was nearing the song's end, and he dipped me back.
Then he brought me back up, making our faces incredibly close, it was like everything stopped for a second and we just stayed there staring at each other. Gosh, what is wrong with me!?!?! The sound of claps snapped me out of it. We stepped off the stage, and I took a deep breath, they were about to announce the winners soon. Finally, the judges came up holding their clipboards. " The winners of the Camp Mae Improv Challenge are Linen and Nico" We won, omg! We walked up on the stage being handed trophies, he grabbed my hand and we took a bow. I can't believe we actually won.
We walked down the stage and the lights suddenly went off and he suddenly pulled me quickly out of the room. What in the world is going on? All of a sudden I ended up in front of two other guys, one with brown curly hair and the other with straight black hair. "Uh," I managed to say. " This is Ty and Kassen," He interrupted me, pointing to the guys. " I can't believe you found her, dude," the guy with the black hair said, who I assumed was Kassen. "Yeah, kind of a shocker," Ty said. " Uhm did you just basically kidnap me?" I said looking around, it looked like it might have been their cabin. " Uh, I wouldn't really look at it that way, I just wanted to talk," Nico said kind of nervously.
