Going For It

“Are you ready to meet your first partner ever on Dancing with the Stars?” Derek asked me as we walked into the building together along with Mark and McKenna.

“I’m ready yet nervous. I mean it could be one of my idols?” I said trying to keep my fangirling to the bear minimum.

“You’ll do fine sis. Well this is my stop and good luck!” Derek said before giving me a hug and walking into his dancing studio. I walked down the hall with Mark and McKenna until I got to my room.

“You got this kid. Go kick butt. Even if you do come in third.” He said and I stuck my tongue out at him and took a deep breath.

“You can do this Line. Take a deep breath.” I whispered to myself before walking into the empty room. I put my bag down on the ground and hurried and changed into my dancing clothes before the producer walked in.

“How are you this morning Caroline?” Shelby one of the producers said walking into the room.

“I’m good. How are you Shelby?” I asked her.

“I’m okay. I just came and dropped your music off and your partner will be here in half an hour.” She said before walking out the room. The camera men then came in and began to set up while I stretched for ten minutes. I then put the cd into the CD player. Just by hearing the opening chords I knew this would be a great track to go with our style of dance. My text alert went off so I picked up my phone.

KennaBug: Has your partner showed up yet?
CareBear: Nope. Has yours?

I heard the door open and I looked up seeing none other than Harry flipping Styles.

“Omg!” I whispered causing Harry to laugh and then I looked down at me phone and mentally slapped myself for using this phone case.

“So I’m assuming you know who I am by your reaction. What’s your name?” Harry asked me as I set my phone in my bag.

“I’m Caroline. It’s nice to meet you. Are you ready for possibly the worst ten weeks of your life?” I asked him with a smirk.

“I think so.” He said and I laughed before patting the spot next to me on the stairs.

“Have you possibly had any other dance experience in your life?” I asked him.

“None at all so this will be different for me.” He said and I nodded my head.

“Well our first weeks dance is the Rumba and it is usually portrayed as having to be sexy and I want to change that view if it’s okay with you.” I said looking at him.

“That’s fine. Just teach me what to do and I’ll do it.” He said and I nodded my head.

“Up yah go.” I said standing up and holding my hands out to help him up. Once he was up I made him stretch.

“So basically this is going to be about you wanting to keep someone you love safe.” I began. Once I explained the basics of the dance I taught him some of the moves. After about two hours of dancing we both needed and wanted a break.

“Hey sis. Are you guys done for now?” Derek asked poking his head into the room.

“Yeah. Why?” I asked him.

“Well Mark, McKenna, and I are taking our partners out to lunch and we wanted to know if you guys wanted to join us.” He said walking further into the room.

“I’m in.” Harry said and I looked at my brother and nodded my head.

“Let us change then we will be ready to go.” I said before Derek walked out.

“So you just briefly met my brother.” I said as I walked over to my dance bag. I hurried to the women’s bathroom and went to the big stall to change quickly. When I walked out the stall McKenna was leaning on the sink waiting for me.

“Took you long enough. Soooo who is your partner?” she asked me as I fixed my hair.

“Harry Styles. Who is yours?” I asked her putting my phone into my pocket.

“Tom Hanks. He is like a grandpa and I love him.” She gushed.

“Omg!!! I love Tom Hanks. I have no idea how I focus in practice with that hot Brit, but I do.” I said causing her to laugh. Any one that knows me knows that my celebrity crush is Harry Styles.

“Tom is the best though. Ready to go figure out who our brothers’ partners are?” she asked me.

“Yeah. Just have to stop by the practice room and get Harry and put my bag in it.” I said and she nodded her head following me down the hall. When we got to the room Harry was sitting and texting someone.

“Are you ready to go?” I asked him.

“Yup.” He said.

“Oh this is my best friend slash sister from a different family slash partner in crime, McKenna Ballas. McKenna this is Harry Styles.” I introduced them.

“Nice to meet you Harry. Oh crap Line. I forgot to go get Tom from the practice room. Are you guys okay with coming with me real quick?” she asked us and we nodded our heads following her.

“I thought you forgot about me.” Tom said when we busted into the room.

“Never.” McKenna said smiling at him.

“Tom this is my best friend in the whole world Caroline and her partner Harry Styles. Guys this is Tom Hanks.” McKenna said.

“Nice to meet both of you. If you want to I can drive the four of us.” He said.

“Only if it is no trouble for you.” I said looking at him.

“We are all going to the same place. It’s no trouble at all.” He said and we all thanked him.
