Chapter 1✨

Mara's P.O.V

'Gather round everybody. Quickly' my Ballet teacher demanded once she did a head count and knew we were all here.

'Now, before we start practice today girls, I have some news. Some of you may have heard of 'The Janoskians' and their ridiculously childish YouTube channel, but, some of you haven't because you are all too wise to watch such rubbish' she glared over at a group of four boys, who were all ready pretending to do ballet moves when Miss Brooks wasn't watching.

'However, this group of nuisances are made up of three of my nephews, and they too will be attending this school for a while. Now, I know this may come as a major disruption to some of you, especially with your finals right around the corner, but try to pretend they aren't even here' she snapped, yet again shooting another death stare, causing the four boys to freeze in their tracks.

The entire class went silent, all our eyes pierced on the four boys, but, none of them talking.

'Introduce yourself will you' Miss Brooks demanded, it was clear the boys were frightened of her and her temper, because every time she spoke, they jumped out of their skin and obeyed her every order.

'I'm Beau. And these are my brothers Luke and Jai, and this fucktard is Daniel' one of them announced, and with the curse word, everyone in the room gasped, but I couldn't resist letting out a smile before turning to face the ground before Miss Brooks could see.

'Right. That's enough of that. Girls, line up on the bar please and practice your Plies until I say so' she demanded, and just like that we all got up and walked towards the bars.

'Not you Miss Montgomery' she snapped, I turned to face her.

'Yes, Miss Brooks'? I asked, walking towards her.

'I will need you to take time and teach my ridiculous nephews and their friend how we do things around here. I know you need to practice your own routine, but, you are by far the most skilled in this class and I know that you will whip them into shape in a matter of time. Now, boys, come here' she snapped, but this time at them.

They walked carefully and gracefully towards her, and when they reached us, one of them just stood and stared at me.

'This is Miss Montgomery, one of the schools finest students and one of our best dancers. She will be training you all. I expect you to follow all of her rules and do as she says. And, Mara, I trust you to update me on every single move they make. I've rented you out room 231 for the day, so no excuses'.

We all stared at her, well, except the one who was still starring at me.

'Well? What are you waiting for? Go'! She demanded, and with that the boys practically ran out of the room and up the corridor.

'Guys' I shouted after them, and they all turned to face me.

'231 is that way' I laughed, pointing in the opposite direction to which they were going.

They walked fast towards me, and when we were all caught up and out of ear shot, I decided to ask them a risky, but necessary question.

'Why are you guys so scared of your Aunt'?

'You're telling me that the old bitch doesn't scare you'? Beau laughed.

I stared at him blanket, not entirely sure what to say.

'Never mind. So how does this place work anyway? Can't be easy going to an all girl school and constantly competing'? The other spoke up, who I believe was Jai, which would mean the one who was staring at me in class earlier must've been Luke.

'I enjoy it. Of course it's entirely different to what you see in films, but, it could be worse' I replied as we walked down the long corridors, some girls giving them death stares, and others winking.

'Here we are' I said as we arrived outside room 231 where we would be spending the entire day together.

We walked inside and the boys followed my lead as I placed my bags to one side, out of the way from the main floor area.

'So, tell me something about you guys, what made you want to do ballet'? I asked as I tied up my flats and put my hair into a neat and straight bun.

'We don't. It was either Ballet or stay at home and let our Mom bitch at us' Luke laughed.

'Why would she do that'?

'Well, long story short, we kinda fucked up. A video for our YouTube channel took a turn for the worst and we got arrested. No biggy' he replied, and I was starting to learn that perhaps these boys weren't as safe as I thought, they must've noticed my facial expression change, and Jai soon jumped to their defence.

'We didn't hurt anybody. It was a stupid prank that kinda got out of control and our Mom is now worried we are forever going to be criminals'.

Luke's phone got a text, and once he had read it, he spoke, 'times up. Come on' he demanded as the other boys stood up and waved goodbye, but Luke turned to face me.

'We haven't even started yet' I questioned, not sure what was happening.

'Don't worry Princess, we won't tell our Aunt if you won't. See ya soon'he winked before joining the others and walking out the room.

God, these boys were gonna be trouble.
