Alarmed eyes turn to Sammy at the sound of the stage hand’s voice, a lock of auburn falling over the frightened boy’s forehead. ”Oh god…” It happens each time the dance team has a big performance. The youngest of the members, Jason, can’t seem to fight off his stage fright. Setting aside his water bottle, Sammy’s slender legs take him toward the boy. He settles on the floor beside him, all too familiar with the sight both as the team captain as well as a close friend. ”Deep breaths, Jay. It’ll be okay.” his hands rests on the younger’s knee, eyes focused on his face. Sammy can see sweat already beginning to break, a result of riled nerves.
”Easy for you to say, you probably danced in your mom’s womb.” Sammy can’t help but crack a smile, prompting Jason to do the same. ”Hey…” Sammy’s gaze searches for the other’s. Though avoided, eventually the younger dancer caves, his deep browns meeting Sammy’s own. ”You’re going to kill it out there...you always do.”
”Two minutes!” the stage hand announces again, interrupting whatever Jason’s next sentence would have been. Sammy gently pats the boy’s leg before getting to his feet, eyes taking note of every team member. Almost everyone is accounted for, except… ”Has anyone seen Jazz?” the dancer’s eyes scan the surroundings for his co-captain until he finally spots the head of black locks a few feet down. He quickly works his way through the dancers until he reaches her, excitement painted on his features. ”Ready?”

Isaiah had mentioned his crush to Matt several times before, however the latter had yet to see or meet her. Of course because of this the blonde had concluded that it was only fair that he introduce the two. Who knows? Maybe Matt would find himself smitten by someone on the dance team as well. More so than just an opportunity to ramble on about Jasmine, Izzy also took this as an opportunity to broaden Matt’s view on the world. It may be true that he was one of the most popular guys on campus, however Isaiah knew a lot of things about Matt that others didn’t. A lot of secrets that Matt continued to struggle with. Izzy knew it wasn’t his fault, but rather a consequence of being taught by his closed-minded father. Isaiah’s moth
er may have been much different, but she never overstepped her boundaries when it came to education.
Just like her, Izzy never pushed Matt to do things that made him uncomfortable. He did, however, try to nudge him in the right direction from time to time. The blonde cared too much about his step brother to simply sit back and watch while the latter lived an unhappy life, ”Here is perfect!” Izzy exclaimed once he’d spotted two empty seats right in the center of the second row. He settled into his just as the lights began to die down, signaling the show was about to begin.
