My little miracle

Chapter 5; what the heck?!

A few days have passed me and the kids were rehearsing our new dance for next weeks battle in our usual practicing place which was away from the public which gave us privacy to not allow any of other dancers to copy of see our work unless they aren't apart of the competition that is or is willing to join our group.

"You guys are doing great! Plus you're becoming more in sync which is even better!" I happy on how greatly these guys were improving seeing both of them go red either embarrassed or shy about being praised like this by someone older than them seeing the hidden potential they had which is slowly coming out the more skilled they get. The door to our room opened catching me off guard as I watched as two friends of mine entered inside, Mia and Anakin they didn't look happy about something as they came over to me. "What's the matter did something happen?" I asked concerned about them incase they got into a fight or something but that wasn't the case.

"It's Machi... he kicked us out" Mia said leaving me absolutely shook by all of this since these guys were always together and had been ever since they started dancing so what made Machi decide all of this since he isn't the leader of the group.

"But isn't Anakin the leader shouldn't he be making the shots? You guys really are confusing me right now" I said as Anakin looked at the two kids I was with and pulled me aside wanting to chat privately like adults do. "One sec guys" I said to Ray and Briella who shrugged and started to chat with one another about stuff leaving me with Anakin and Mia.

"You need to be careful whenever you see Machi when he's with his new 'friends' because they aren't nice" Anakin said knowing what these new friends of Machi's were like since Anakin was kinda like a warm hearted gangsta unless you mess with his family that is.

"I am aware to not go near danger anyway but I want to know why he kicked you guys out? Or even how to be exact!" I quietly asked really needing to know how someone would do something like that and leave their friends out of the blue for some other people. This just reminds me of the time back in the slums with my old friend who wanted to change the world for the greater good and even suggested for me to go along with it until he ditched me for his stupid dance career.

"He thinks we are crap basically and didn't want us to ruin his opportunity to get into the professional competition where only the best dancers can compete 'Dance Road' and possibly meet Jay El himself" Mia said making me kinda nervous about this whole Dance Road thing but it isn't just my decision it's the whole teams too and whatever they decide with I have to follow no matter how much I don't want to see him.

"That's kinda stupid if you ask me because I wouldn't do that over some lad" I said making the top back off from me before leaning back I'm not wanting to believe what just came out of my mouth right now.

"You don't like Jay El?" Anakin asked as I sighed not really hating him but I'm just mad at him that's all but I'm just hoping that he would remember me or a least get in touch with me after all of these years.

"I don't hate the dude! I just...I don't know okay! But who the heck would kick out his best friends just so he can get into this Dance Road thing!?" I said kinda venting right now but I never knew about this whole secret competition thing ever but I knew that my brothers would definitely have to be apart of this thing then knowing Hirato he'll definitely apply due to how talented his two left feet are.

"I know you've probably been through a lot with these kids an all but can we join your group? We promise to not disappoint you!" Mia begged which was new of her but I couldn't miss a perfect opportunity to make a group of 5 or 6 but is a group 6 acceptable when it comes to dancing even though I just wanted only 5.

"Yo! How do you guys feel like having some more dancing buds?" I said looking at the kids before pointing behind me at the two idiots who came rushing to me for help.

"Sure!" Ray said enjoying the company but Briella seemed a bit uneasy even though these guys are completely harmless.

"What's wrong Briella?" I asked as I saw her look at Anakin understanding how she felt for when I first met the dude that day which wasn't that long ago really. "Don't worry he doesn't bite!" I patted Anakin's shoulder assuring that everything will be A-okay from now on since I'm the leader of this group and whatever happens is my problem to deal with no matter what it is.

I quickly got Mia and Anakin in with the current plan and decided to quickly change things around a-bit while I was there too adding them a part in this as well putting Ray in the middle for now since he was doing so well performing his solo when we get the chance to get one. I didn't mind not getting the spot light since I already had so much when I was with my brothers so letting someone else take it was fine by me as well as letting others take it too when the perfect opportunity comes by.

I was glad that my brothers didn't suspect anything with my random out going with my friends finally stretching these rusty legs for once. But when the next round for us came I knew we had to up our game for what was next to come especially with the training everyone had to do making sure that we were ready and in Sync when the moment arrives and it did we passed with flying colours thank goodness but seeing the shock on Machi's face really brought some justice to Mia and Anakin as they finally found a worthy team to be apart of for the time being with me as their trusted leader guiding them ever step of the way.

"You really are a great leader and a choreographer Solana! Kinda reminds me of Saeki whenever she does her solos on tv absolutely amazing" these worlds that came out Anakin's mouth left me frozen but anyone with a brain could make dances like this in no time but they knew that the really challenge will be starting tomorrow when we prepare ourselves when we go against Machi and his so called perfect team he brags so much about 24/7.

"If you can do it I'm sure that everyone else can do it too, if they only believe in themselves that is" I said as we both chatted and laughed along with every joke we made while Mia sat with Ray and Briella bonding with the little things wanting to be great friends and find out what they like.

I loved hanging out with these guys which brought back great memories when I was a kid when we all got together and just danced having fun not caring about the way we lived in since we were only kids after all and we stayed that way until everything fell apart and when that time comes I'll be ready.

When I arrived back home again Shimamoto wasn't there to meet me this time which was weird he always loved to check up on me and asked how my day has been but that all changed when HE stepped into view. "Hello Saeki" I froze not wanting to look at him since he knew I was still mad at him for leaving me alone that day knowing how important it was breaking that promise to see me dance and yet he didn't show at all which broke me.

"What do you want Jay?" I asked not making eye contact hearing him sigh in response knowing the truth behind all of this hate I had for him but who can blame he was only trying to make things right.

"I came here to see you but I need you to understand that what happened—" he didn't even had a chance to explain to me why he was late to due how mad and stubborn I was that my brother Invited him in without talking me about it.

"No!..I don't need to hear your excuses Jay, you left me waiting and broke out promise which you know was very important to me and yet it took you all these years to see me" I said knowing that this wasn't Jay I could tell by his eyes they weren't those sparkling loving eyes I remember they were dull and fake like if he was some sort of robot. "I'm going to my room. Don't follow me" I said making myself very clear that I didn't what you be disturbed or anywhere near who this thing claimed to be Jay but why do I hate him this much! Why?

I isolated myself for 2 days before getting myself back on track again continuing on forgetting about that random thing that just happened with Jay not wanting to even think or even see him again not until HE actually shows up and explains in the way that is meaningful and forgiving and only then would I listen to him.
