I will always choose you
Chapter 29
I was fingering with a strand of my hair, sitting in the bus on my way to school. I had my headphones on, and I was listening to a song Harry just sent me by text. He said it was his new favorite song, so I decided to give it a try as well.
It was some kind of a… soft ballad. It contained a lot of acoustic guitar and a male voice singing. I looked out from the window and stared at all the trees and houses that we were passing by with a high speed.

“Hi beautiful” he said as he gave me a quick kiss and his hand reached out for mine.
I didn’t manage to answer him as someone gently tapped on my shoulder. I turned around to face a girl I recognized from my dance-class.
“They’ve published the list on the board!” she told me with a big smile. I knew exactly what she meant: The Swan Lake.
Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god.
I quickly tangled Harry’s hand away from mine and hurried my way over to the board. There were at least twenty other girls that were trying to see the list as well.
The thing is that I’ve been set on getting the role this whole time, and now the thought struck me; what if I actually didn’t?
I should’ve thought of that earlier. There are so many other girls with me competing. I’m pretty sure there’s someone that’s better than me.
I started hearing whisperers while I tried my best to push myself through the little crowd. Finally!
I glanced through the list, trying to find my name.
“Background dancers: Emily Williams, Kristen Johnson, Rose Smith, Carl Wood, John Harris…”
Wait, is there guys in our dance group? Why haven’t I noticed them before? Okay, back to business.
“Hannah Clark, Alexandra Simmons, Jacob Dunst, Isabelle Crawford, Tina Gordon...” I kept glancing through the very long list. Until I saw it.
“The Swan Princess, replacer: Megan Stone
The Swan Princess: Sarah Fuller”
I sighed out of relief and I could feel that I had a big smile from. I got it! I got the part! “Yes” I almost shouted out of happiness.
It was still crowded so it was pretty hard to get out. On my way there were a couple of girls from class who congratulated me for the big part.
Harry was waiting for me just a few feet away.
“So?” he asked nervously. “How did it go?”
I smiled even more widely than before, as I laughed out of joy. I ran into his arms and hugged him tightly.
“I got it. I got the role” I said, sounding like I was about to cry out of happiness. Oh my god Sarah, pull yourself together!
He kissed me on my forehead. “I could almost tell” he said while he chuckled.
Harry had promised me to come and see the show, and therefore I want it to be more than good. It has to be perfect. Every single step, and every dance move, it has to be perfect.
Since ballet is a huge part of my life, it feels like a big deal that he’s coming and watching me for the first time.
“Oh my god, hi!” I heard a familiar voice behind me say after a few moments. I released myself from Harry to turn around and see who it is.
Her wavy long, dark brown, wavy hair was resting down her shoulders. Her sparkling hazel brown eyes were filled with wonder and joy. She had a really fit body, and you could tell that she’s really interested in fashion, just by the look of her makeup and her clothing.
When I met her for the first time, it was dark and crowded. I didn’t really get a proper look of her.
Isabella. Or, well, Bella from the prom! I’d promised her that I’d meet her up with Zayn, and I had totally forgotten about that! Well, partly because I didn’t really have any time left over, and partly because I… simply haven’t seen her again since then.
I answered her with a surprised smile. “I’m so sorry, I had totally forgotten!” I confessed.
“I was home crying for days because you didn’t live up to your promise you know!” she said seriously.
Oh my god, really?! I’m such a bad person...
But then she laughed. “No, I’m just kidding. You should’ve seen the look on your face!” she said.
“Um… Hi” Harry said, an attempt to join the conversation.
“Who’s this?” he discreetly whispered into my ear.
“Oh, sorry! This is Isabella. I met her at prom. She really fancied Zayn” I said, winking at her.
“Stop it, I did not!” she said. “Just a tiny, tiny bit” she continued confessing while she blushed.
All three of us started laughing.
“So, what class are you in?” I asked politely.
“I’m a second year dancer. What about you?” she asked with a wide smile.
She’s a dancer?!
“Really?! Me too! Or… well, I’m a freshman.” I chuckled. How come I haven’t seen her around?
“Well, you see, we’re a couple of dancers from another school called University of north California School of the Arts. It’s a really long name, I know. However, we come and visit now and then. Some of our freshman is also here to participate in your big play The Swan Lake as well. Are you going to participate in that play, Sarah?” she asked with a smile.
“Yes, she actually got the part as The Swan Princess” Harry interrupted. He then kissed me, telling how proud he was.
“Really?! Wow, I’m impressed. I know by my own experience how big the competition for that role is. I bet you’re really talented” she said with a big smile.
I started blushing.
“Okay, well listen up. Zayn’s also in middle of his second year, this is too good to be true. We should introduce you to him right away!” Harry said jokingly, changing the subject. We laughed once again.
But wait, he’s joking right?
“No, but seriously. Is Zayn attending his second year?! I thought he was a freshman like us” I stated to Harry.
He laughed “Seriously?”
I nodded in confirm. “Well… that was embarrassing. I’ve known him for six months and I don’t even know how old he is. I always thought you guys were in class together” I thought out loud, blushing.
“Nah, I’m just with Niall and Liam” he said shaking his head and chuckling.
I heard Bella laughing in the background at us.
I laughed with her, though I feel like dying of embarrassment.
“Okay, whatever. Let’s go and introduce you to him now right away!” I said while I turned my gaze to Bella.
“Woah woah woah, what if he’s in class right now?” she said.
Oh, snap. I didn’t think of that one.
“I think he finished class for like five minutes ago” Harry said gazing at the clock hanging on the wall.
“Okay, let’s go!” I said heading towards the stairs leading to the third floor.
“Guys, wait.” She said from behind. We both stopped and turned around towards her.
“I don’t think I can do it. I will just look like some kind of a… groupie” she said chuckling and blushing.
“No! Not at all! We’ll just say that you’re a friend of Sarah, which actually is true, and then we’ll just let you… um… go with the flow. We won’t press anyone or anything, so keep calm. Okay? I bet he’ll like you” he said, trying to convince her.
He’s right. They’d physically be the perfect match.
She nodded, looking down to her feet.
“And we’re taking you there because you seem like a really nice person” I confessed.
She looked up. “Thank you guys, you’re so kind” she said.
And it’s true. She really seems like a good person with a really nice personality, though I haven’t really gotten to know her properly yet. She doesn’t seem like an up blown drama-queen like the girls back home. I might actually like her as a friend, and I could really get use of a female friend around here.
“Hey guys, why were you heading towards the third floor?” we heard a familiar voice. Zayn.
Yes, just in time!
None of us had classes or any lockers on the third floor, so I guess that’s why he asked.
“We were going to see you, mate” Harry said with a smile.
“What’re you doing later?” he continued.
“Um… I thought of doing some homework” Zayn answered.
Then I could tell that his gaze got stuck on something else.
Or, well, someone else.
“Who’re you?” he asked with a smirk.
“Oh, this is Bella. She’s a friend of mine” I said, doing a gesture towards her.
She smiled and simply waved her hand towards him as a hi.
Zayn broke off laughing. “That’s funny. I thought I just heard you saying she’s a friend of yours” he said jokingly.
“What, jealous much?” I asked with a wink.
He chuckled, his gaze still stuck on her.
It was some kind of a… soft ballad. It contained a lot of acoustic guitar and a male voice singing. I looked out from the window and stared at all the trees and houses that we were passing by with a high speed.
