[PETAL PAIX]

Nothing you can make that can't be made.
No one you can save that can't be saved.
Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you in time.

Petal can spot a lie from a mile away. She wasn't one to use that power for evil though and the two looked so scared it made her feel guilty. She would have to let them know she wasn't buying it without seeming mean. How did her mother do this? She'd have to call her and ask. But what to do now? She smiled and said, "I'm figuring he's not a dancer and you're not a boy so naturally you don't have the boy's locker room key." She stated still keeping her endearing smile.

"As long as you can truthfully say you were both being... responsible. I'll let you off." She opened the boy's room and looked over at Bert. "You're welcome to guy's lost and found;" she said looking at his sweats. A big PINK symbol ran down the back of his right leg. "you look a bit too nervous to usually shop in the misses department." she held back a giggle. Ok, ok, stay professional. He's probably already embarrassed enough by it. There's no need to make it worse. She got a hold of herself.

Petal looked over at Katheryn. She didn't like that Katheryn went along with the lie but their was no need to be very offended. This was Katheryn's first mark on a clean record and it was barely a mark. "And you guys are welcome to join the pairs class if you want. For some reason, it's annoyingly empty." She shrugged her shoulders and walked over to her office. Good, professional and yet not mean. Maybe she could do this without help after all.

His lie had fallen through? What the hell? Could this women read his mind or was his face relaying a different message? Bert sighed, but then he realized that his face was on fire. Was he blushing? He stole a look at Kat's face...Yep they were definitely feeling the same awkward surge that this woman had caused.

"I'm figuring he's not a dancer and you're not a boy so naturally you don't have the boy's locker room key."

Bert's mouth started before his brain could, "Why judge a book by it's cover? Honestly, I could be a HELL of a dancer. And no need to talk around me." Bert felt a pang of regret, but this lady had it coming. Before Bert could register is thoughts, she spoke again.

"As long as you can truthfully say you were both being... responsible. I'll let you off." Not like Bert and Kat were caught doing the deed.

"You're welcome to guy's lost and found, you look a bit too nervous to usually shop in the misses department." Did she just make fun of him? Oh this lady was really pissing Bert off. He felt like he should tell this lady off and brake something in the process, but Kat looked scared and nervous. "Yeah, well I enjoy the length and snugness of these for when I dance." Bert's answer was a bit sarcastic and rude.

Bert shoved past the lady before she could finish her next sentence. He walked into an empty dance room. There was a few lights on and a stereo in the corner on a chair. Bert walked over to the machine and clicked 'Play.' The music sensation of Ciara's "Get up" started. Bert laughed alittle. Well, What the Hell? He let the music 'flow' through him as he threw together some steps he say at clubs. Honestly, he looked like a hot mess.

Katheryn knew she was busted, and she expected the worst- being thrown out, told she was never allowed back, not even to go to the recitals. But Petal seemed to not worry about it. Kat bit her lip, about to say something when Bert jumped in. She nodded a little, still biting back her laughter as he argued. Bert had just told her, no more than an hour ago, that he wasn't a dancer. Still, he seemed to have things under control, so she wasn't about to interrupt.

Kat jumped in when Petal said she'd let them off as long as they were being responsible, "Of course! What did you think we were doing? Have you ever known me to be irresponsible?" Bad wording. Technically Kat was being irresponsible now. "Or, uhm...." Back to the lip biting. 

Kat looked up at Bert, a little surprised at his remark then, and she stood there for a second, watching as he pushed his way past Petal and into a nearby studio. She followed him in and watched as he tried to throw together some dance steps. Kat tried not to laugh, and instead she shook her head, running to get a different cd from the rack, something that would be for couples dancing. She needed to stop Bert somehow. He definitely was not a dancer. And Kat had about 2 minutes to change that.

She put the cd in, stepping over to Bert, "Just.... Follow my lead, okay?" she spoke low, so that Petal wouldn't hear her. She then put one hand on Bert's shoulder and the other in his hand, making sure that he knew to put his other hand on her waist. Once that was all done, she started doing a few basic steps, not wanting to make it too hard for Bert. She just didn't want Petal to think that they were lying to her.

Oh no. This was not good. How did her mother do it? Was she not being nice? She sat there and let the boy talk. She had never seen him around here besides today so he definitely wasn't one of her dancers. He seemed to like to fight too so asking him to be one might not be a good idea. She looked over at Katheryn and smiled.

The boy brushed by her. Where was he going?

"I'm just trying to be nice. It seems that just irritates him more..." she said to no one after he left. She would be a lot happier if they admitted to the truth but it seemed that the boy wasn't going to. She looked over at Katheryn with a pleading expression as the music began to blast. As Katheryn ran into the dance room, Petal went back into her office.
She refreshed her email a new message popped up. She spun in her chair a bit and looked at it.

Subject: Hello Petal, It's your mommy :)

Mom's using email.... and smileys? She smiled in surprise. Her mom wasn't one to use computers...ever. Maybe they got an Internet cafe in town or something. The music changed to something from Renee's couple classes. Maybe Petal was wrong... it would have been nice if they had asked first to use the facilities. She got up and debated on whether or not to go in there. Might as well.
