The Conclusion of "More
than a Dance" from pg 12
By Katherine
Braun
Staff Writer
"Don't worry about them," Chad quietly
told her as he placed his hands tentatively on her waist and
shoulder. "Let's enjoy ourselves." He could feel
her shoulder muscles partially loosen from their tense and
defensive state.. Very lightly and cautiously Samantha positioned
her own neatly manicured pink fingernails and hands on Chad's
arms. Then, they started to dance- no, they started to float
through the air and gracefully glide as if they were in an
ice rink. Both dancers soon forgot about their surroundings
and the ignorantly pointing fingers they had been subjected
to minutes ago. Instead, they built off of one another¢s
apparent skill and passion for dancing, creating a heart pounding
energy and chemistry between them. When the song finally ended,
they abruptly broke apart and stepped back in awe. Panting,
Chad looked up at Samantha's bent head and whispered,
"I never danced like that before."
Gingerly, Samantha raised her head and, for the first time
that night, her deep, meaningful amber eyes connected with
Chad¢s understanding green ones.
"Me neither," she whispered back. Then, as if she
was Cinderella and the clock had just struck midnight, she
quickly raced for the exit. In his shocked state it took Chad
a moment to realize what had just happened, but, when he did,
he went racing for the gym door after her. He was too late:
she had already disappeared.
* * *
Slowly but surely over the next few months following the dance,
Samantha started to open up. Her shell of shyness cracked
and broke up, piece by piece. As it did, Samantha's classmates
started to discover how wrong they had been about her. There
was a completely different and delightful individual under
the coating that once hid Samantha. She was insightful, understanding,
compassionate, and even energetic and talkative when given
the chance. It took a lot of courage for Samantha to burst
the protective bubble shielding her from the world; yet, to
this day, she claims she could have never done it without
the help of her new boyfriend: Chad.
