Hallway: Elio's Pov

I walked out of the classroom, textbook in hand. "Man, I don't think I'm gonna be able to do this every morning." I stretched my arms crossing them behind my head as I yawned. Who said being a business major would be easy, cause I'd like to have a couple words with them. Or maybe it was the fact that this class started at six and lasted around two hours. It didn't help that I lived like 20 minutes away from campus. "And who told you to take a class at six am? We both know you stay up till ungodly hours." My friend, Bosa, laughed, smacking me on the back. I rolled my eyes and glared at him. "Oh buzz off." I gave him the bird as I moved back, trying to find a good place to lean on the wall. "Excuse me." A soft voice called from behind me. I turned my head almost giving myself whiplash. A girl stood behind me, squeezing her bag tightly and pressing herself against the wall. She was beautiful. That's it, there were no other words I could use to describe her. I must have stared for a couple moments too long before she cleared her throat. Her eyes never moved from where they looked on the ground. "Shoot, my bad!" I moved away, allowing her to get past. She ran quickly, not bothering to respond. I watched her purple braids swing in a long ponytail as she scrambled away. Cute. I grabbed Bosa's arm, tapping it harshly. "What?" Boss looked up from his phone to glare at me. "Who's that?" I pointed at her as she got closer to rounding the corner. He had to see her before she disappeared . "Who? Blondie or purple braids?" Bosa watched two girls running, confused. "Purple braids." Bosa hummed, thinking for a couple moments. "No clue." He shrugged before a slap landed on his head. "Then why'd you take so long to answer, now I missed the chance!" Bosa rolled his eyes. "Chance for what exactly?" I stared at the fool I called my friend, exasperated. "To get her name, nimrod." Bosa just stared at me blankly. "Didn't you almost crush the girl? Why couldn't you have gotten her name then, dickwad." I scoffed, mad that Bosa was right. "Whatever, I've gotta get to class." I frowned, walking away. The campus was pretty big, there was probably no chance I'd run into her again. I let out a long sigh, upset that I just missed out on the chance of my potential soulmate. And yes, I believe in soulmates, no matter how stupid it seems.

Dance Studio: No Pov

She walked into the dance room, her shoes squeaking on the floor. "Ah Ah, please don't step any further!" She paused and turned to the right. A woman stood on the side with her hair out in fluffy curls. "Those shoes aren't appropriate dance shoes and you're scuffing up my floor. Also, the sign says please remove shoes upon entering unless proper footwear is worn." The lady crosses huffs and points at the sign. She looks down at her shoes and back at the lady, then at the sign. It takes a couple seconds before she realizes and quickly takes her shoes off. "I'm sorry!" The lady laughs a little and shakes her head. "Oh it's not insanely serious! I'm sorry, it's just that I get yelled at if the floors are scuffed. My sister is the cleaner and she'd kill me if I made her job any harder." She nods and laughs. "I've got 2 sisters so I know how annoying they can be. Are you the teacher for this class?" The lady nods, her curls bouncing on her head. "You're the first student here... I'm surprised. Most don't show up until three minutes after class was supposed to begin, but you're here five minutes early." She shrugs. "I was always taught that being on time is late and being late is unheard of. I'm Adesuwa by the way... I forgot to introduce myself." Adesuwa sets her bag down on the floor and rubs her shoulder. "Well aren't you adorable! Is it alright if I call you Suwa? You can say no of course. I'm Mrs. Lee, but I prefer my students to call me Ivie." Adesuwa nods. "Suwa is fine... are you also nigerian?" Mrs. Lee laughs and a grin breaks out. "Yes, I knew you'd catch on once I said my name! My last name always confuses people. Anyway, why don't you find somewhere to sit before everyone else comes in? I give it around two minutes before they all rush in." Suwa nods and takes a seat next to her bag. As Mrs. Lee said, students quickly started to file in around the two minute mark. She turned from her position on the floor to watch as they filed in. The second her eyes focused on the door, he walked in. She watched his eyes dart around the classroom before settling on her. She smiled and gave him a quick wave. He swore his heart stopped when she smiled. The universe must have been playing in his favor today. It was purple braids, and just when he had settled that he would probably never see her again. He smiled back at her, taking a few deep breaths to calm his nerves, and walked over to where she sat. He set his bag down next to hers and took a seat. "Hi, I'm Elio." He leaned over and whispered, giving her a smile. "I'm Adesuwa, is this your first class?" She looked over at him, he was gorgeous. "No, I had a class at six am before this. What about you?" She stared at him in shock, a class at six? "You take classes before seven?! When do you get up?" In her shock, she forgot to answer his question. "Well I get up at 5 and I live close by anyways so it's not too much of a struggle." He shrugged, the lies rolling off his tongue. He hated walking up at 5 but he couldn't let her know that. Why? Well it was a pride thing. She moved to ask him something else when Mrs. Lee spoke. "Alright class, could I have everyone's attention please?! My name is Mrs. Lee and I'll be your professor for the next couple of months. Welcome to Ballroom Dance 101. This class does require partners, and your partners will be those sitting next to you! I must warn you, I'm a fairly fast paced teacher so please let me know if you're unable to keep up."

Author's Note:
I'm not sure how people usually do these but I've noticed that a lot of the books I read on here have an author's note so why not🤷🏾‍♀️
This is the first book that I've written and taken seriously, it's also my first time posting on Wattpad. Yes this book was published before but I read it over and didn't like it so I made a couple changes.
I'd really appreciate if you guys left comments with feedback or letting me know what you liked😸🫶🏾
