Nate grinned as he watched her out on the stage. He crossed his arms and leaned back against a piece of scenery depicting some sort of sailing scene. "Impressive, isn't it?" he asked. "So, since you're a junior and all, what made you finally decide to transfer now?"

"I didn't," She turned to look at him, standing with her heels pressed together again. "I had to. My father is having some money problems and I had to leave my school because of it. I still needed to dance somewhere and this was the best option." She shrugged.

"Oh..." Nate nodded his head slowly. As far as he knew, this school was THE place to go for the arts. Well, as far as public schools went. He took a step closer to her and, with a wink, managed to tap out a few dance moves of his own. "Where did you go before?"

Raven laughed, "Professional Children's School...so I could go to the School of American Ballet," she said. "My father couldn't afford both anymore and the school has a program with SAB so this was the obvious choice." She smiled and then did a pirouette for him.

"Makes sense then," Nate agreed. Children's Professional School? Damn, that's impressive! "So, you didn't have to audition or any of that then, did you? You're lucky, those auditions were a killer!"

"well i still did," she shrugged, "but it was private since I was a special circumstance. I really hate auditions though, it's a weakness of mine."

"I think they're everyone's weakness," Nate offered. He walked over to the edge of the stage and sat down, his legs dangling over the edge. "I know I hate them. I always feel like the people I'm auditioning for think I'm horrible or something." He paused and laughed at himself before looking over his shoulder at her, lightly patting the empty space next to him. "Come and take a seat"

"oh man! Me too! Then I start go doubt myself and it's a whole mess," she sat down next to him and smiled at him.

"Me too," he admitted with a laugh. He wrung his hands together slowly, his eyes focused attentively on the way his fingers rolled over one another as he did so. "So... do you always wanna be a dancer?" He asked, finally looking at her. "I mean, is the plan to go to Juilliard, become a world-class dancer, and then be the star of the New York City Ballet? Or do you have an alternate plan?"

She laughed, "well thats the plan. It's all I ever wanted I've never thought about what I would do if I couldn't dance. I suppose I could open my own studio," she smiled at him. "I'd go to college." She was quiet for a little and then smirked. "star of american ballet theatre actually. You might as well get my dream company right."
She kicked her feet back and forth, "what about you? Don't you want to be a famous rock star? Have crowds cheering your name? Sell out madison square garden?"

"Well..." He laughed, his shoulders shrugging playfully. "I can't get every answer right! Sounds like a good plan though. Smart."
He leaned back on his elbows, his eyes looking up at the multi-colored stage lights as he contemplated his answer. "I just want to make music. Good music. I've started a band, we play in small spaces down in the Village. I don't mind it, though, because the people that go actually care about the quality of the music, the work and love that go into it." He paused, laughing at himself a bit. "If I make it to the Garden, great. But, as it is, I'm perfectly okay with my small venues and the people who appreciate my work for what it is without trying to over-process or commercialize it. Maybe that's what I'll do... Go to college, get that shiny piece of paper, and open up my own music venue."

Rae smiled, "I like that idea. Hey, next time you're playing somewhere let me know. I wanna come."

"R-really?" Nate asked, his eyebrows arching in surprise. He smiled shyly at Rae and quickly nodded his head. "Of course! I mean, I don't know if it's the kind of music you like or anything like that, but just having you there is great enough!"

She laughed, she coulnd't help it. "Well you are my first friend...and I wanna hear your stuff. Besides, you might be surprised at what I actually like." She nudged him with her shoulder.

He laughed and lightly nudged his shoulder back against hers. "I might, sure," he agreed with a casual smirk, "but... your willingness to come to a show without me having to beg, well, that puts you so highly in my favor right now." He laughed at his choice of words, his face growing hot. "That sounded bad, didn't it?"
