Chapter 66 Admission to Harvard University
After ballet teacher Natalie left, Bai Xinrui put a leg in white stockings on the bar, leaned over to untie the wide pink ribbon tied to her ankle, and carefully removed her wooden foot from her hard pointe shoes.
This practice room is in an inconspicuous position on the second floor of the Grand Theater, and the wooden rods are still in the old style of being directly embedded in the wall, although people still come to clean and scrub them every day, and the mirror has long since become dull because of age.
Today, both dance club training and one-on-one ballet lessons take place in the newly renovated practice room of the Arts Center Building, which has long been abandoned for many years.
Since Kim Sun-young, a Korean girl who won the International Dance Award, entered the school last year, she has to spend a lot of time practicing every day, and this old practice room has only been reopened, and since then, it has almost become her personal exclusivity. Bai Xinrui also borrowed the key from her and came to rehearse a pas de deux that was about to participate in the performance.
Looking at Amy, who was grinning and her expression was constantly changing in the big mirror, Bai Xinrui couldn't help but feel funny, at this moment, she was sitting on the smooth and clean floor, rubbing her ankles distressedly.
"Oops, both legs are going to be wasted, and the blisters on the toes may never get better!" Amy's shrill voice kept complaining, "The day after tomorrow, it's just a school performance, and the two of us are too hard!" ”
"You're willing to stand behind others forever as a backup dancer, I don't want to!" Bai Xinrui gently dropped her other foot that had been tortured in pointe shoes from the bar to the ground, and her stiff toes hooked playfully twice, so that she didn't care about the faint blood marks oozing from the toes of the snow-white ballet socks.
In the mirror, her hair is pulled up high, coiled into a cute little ball on the top of her head, her clean and clear slap face can be seen at a glance, her pointed chin, her slightly upturned nose, and her facial features are impeccable and arrogant.
Especially the big flickering eyes, the two black glasses that flow like black mercury, and a touch of light blue in the pure whiteness of the eyes, which is clear and pure only in babies, and the two soft lips, even without any modification, are so beautiful that they are suffocating, showing the bright brilliance of a girl.
After a series of dancing and continuous rotation, fine beads of sweat poured out on her delicate collarbones, which were crystal clear in the sun, and a few strands of broken hair fell from the back of her neck, and the floating hair lined the back of her neck with slender and white skin, and the lines were soft.
"Aren't you coveting the opportunity to perform at the big stage at HSD's Kennedy Center next spring? You don't know how harsh Natalie picks people! ”
When it comes to the vicious witch Amy, who has just walked out of the door, the school dance teacher was a former principal dancer of the Royal Ballet when he was younger, with a thin, pointed face that never smiled, and was known for his devil training.
"Anyway, you don't have to worry, Natalie often compliments you on the flexibility of your body like a rubber band."
Amy talked to herself, looked at Bai Xinrui's slender figure that had not yet been fully formed, looked up at the ceiling and sighed, and said: "Your body is simply born for dance, no wonder Natalie desperately urged me to lose weight as soon as she saw me, and I didn't have much hope for being selected anyway." ”
"You're not too fat, you're the weight loss maniac, and I can't wait for every girl in our dance club to be thin into a lightning bolt." Bai Xinrui glanced at Amy's slender figure with her eyes, shrugged her shoulders, and the steep curve of Amy's body made her feel a little unhappy.
"Hey! You see, isn't that Kevin? Amy suddenly jumped up from the ground and pointed in the direction of the door of the practice room, "Did he know that you came here to rehearse today and came to pick you up?" ”
Bai Xinrui was packing up her things without even raising her head.
At noon, Kevin had just asked her for leave, saying that he would go to the family cemetery with Quentin to pay respects to his grandfather, Sir Rothschild Sr., after class in the afternoon, how could he appear here at this time, it must be that Amy was so tired that she was hallucinating.
After thinking about it, it's not right, they eat and play in one place every day, and Amy's eyes are so sharp, how can they be wrong.
Besides, there are not many people on the second floor of the theater on weekdays, and it is rare for someone like them to practice hard here with X block. At this time, it should be the time when the other students have just finished the second class in the afternoon, who will be the person who has come here?
Bai Xinrui raised her head, and through the glass door embedded with copper strips, she saw a figure running towards the depths of the corridor, the figure was surprisingly tall and strong, wearing a crimson rugby team winter jersey jacket, not Kevin!
Did Kevin come here to surprise himself?
It's impossible, she and Amy practiced dancing on the spotlight after the first class in the afternoon, except for the two of them and Senior Sister Kim Sunyoung, no one knew, and, looking at Kevin's hurried steps, there was obviously something urgent.
Who is Kevin coming to meet?
The girl's sixth sense was activated instantly, and the first to jump into Bai Xinrui's mind was the famous goblin in the whole school, the sexy lead singer in the rock band, dressed all day long, dyed pink hair, and with a rebellious face.
I remember that at the "Music Friday" party two weeks ago, Kevin used to joke that Mia had named the rock band Teen Spirit a bit like some kind of spray, and vaguely heard him and Nathan whispering about the chick's figure.
The black box rehearsal hall at the end of the second floor happened to be temporarily requisitioned by the rock orchestra for the past two days, and it was in full swing to rehearse for the concert performance at the end of the semester. Every time she and Amy went upstairs to practice, they could hear the floor vibrating in the hallway.
Kevin? Mia?
She didn't dare to think about it.
didn't have time to change clothes, Bai Xinrui wore her purple one-piece ballet practice uniform and a small gauze skirt of the same color, stepped on the soft-soled beanie shoes placed at the door, and ran out of the practice room.
As soon as she went out, she stabilized her mind first, slowed her steps, and pressed her whole body against the wall of the corridor. In the dim light, Bai Xinrui saw that Kevin was walking hurriedly, and from time to time he was looking back and forth, left and right.
Bai Xinrui stood on tiptoe, twisted her waist, and hid behind a marble column.
After a while, after making sure that no one was there, Kevin pushed open the door of the black box rehearsal hall and walked straight inside.
