I smiled, "no girl is normal, I hope you know that."
I laugh a little, “well what should we do about this for now?”
"We leave. We can meet up later but right now we need to just look like some nosy kids who wanted to see a haunted closet."
“Okay, right.” I grab my backpack and look down the hall one last time. “Come to the dance studio after classes. We can talk there”
"Alright, see you later." I walk down the hall as the bell rings and blend in with the crowd of students
After classes I go to the dance studio. I’m warming up softly humming to myself, while I think about Theodore.
I go on autopilot in martial arts. "What's up with this school? What are they hiding? And why is Ellie so....weird?" I thought girls liked shopping and stuff, not murder cases....
I wait for Max after the class has ended, but I keep stretching and messing around as I wait for him. “It’s weird that I just met Max and now we’re trying to solve a mystery together” I almost laugh at loud at my own thoughts.
"sorry I'm late...* Max appears from down the hall, his usual colorful robes switched out fora tight black shirt and black pants. "A new crime scene to check out. Apparently, their house was completely abandoned after the incident..."
"Its fine," I'm still in my ballet clothes, standing at the barre. "wait seriously? They lived in a giant house, his dad hosted parties and my parents would go sometimes, you don't just leave that kind of house behind."
"Exactly, unless something happened or they needed to get away from some incriminating evidence."
"So that just gives us more proof." I start to unlace my pointe shoes and put my normal shoes on. "How are we going to get there though?"
"....My brother will take us." He says tersely, staring out the window.
"You have a brother?" I smile but then notice him looking off. "Um yeah that'll work...hey you ever danced before?" I ask hoping to cheer him up
He looks at her. "I used to dance....ribbon dancing. It was an activity to get out the orphanage."
"really? That's really cool!" I beam at him, "I've just done ballet almost my whole life...had a little set back last summer though. Don't you miss dancing?"
"Somewhat. I use a lot of the dances I learned in my fighting style though."
"That's cool!" I grab my bag and head for the door, slightly limping. "Should we go now?"
Max notices her limping. "Hey, are you ok?"
