"What the h*ll have you guys been doing?"
Selena’s pretty face looked completely angry as she stared at the jumbled ss of trainees in front of her attempting to muddle through the choreography while the music was playing in the background.
She hadn’t taught these students, but it was clear that none of them had learned the choreography or had even practiced it since yesterday.
They were just vaguely moving their arms and legs while looking completely ridiculous.
Unable to take it anymore, she stopped the music on the tablet and the caraman that followed her into the practice room zood in on her furious face before turning to the participants who looked completely embarrassed except for a single person whose face was covered by a green mask.
"What exactly have you all been doing? Have you practiced at all, or have you all just been fooling around? What’s going on here?"
The contestants in the room just stared at her silently with their heads down except for one person and Selena could feel her disappoint growing.
Turning to the boy who hadn’t flinched, or broken eye contact yet had one of the most disappointing performances out of them all, especially after she had recomnded, he begin stretching and get a dance instructor.
Rembering Jaywalks complaints about Ari not taking it seriously and seeing that it was clear that he hadn’t done so and hadn’t even bothered to review the choreography, Selena called him out.
"Ari, since you’re the only one who can look in the eye, explain what happened here. What have you guys been doing instead of learning the choreography? Even if you’re the D-class you should have so dignity. The other room is doing much better than you are right now! They already have the choreography partially morized! Is this so type of ga to you?"
Hearing Selena yell in frustration, Ari took a deep breath before responding, "Our group decided to split the song and practice our vocals. We wanted to settle that before having you teach us with the choreography since we’re all in F class."
"Who decided that?"
"Cale-"
"We all did. As a group." Ari quickly interrupted whoever was about to call out Caleb’s na because he didn’t want to be caught talking badly about the boy, especially when he wasn’t here.
Who knew how it would be edited later and how they would be criticized.
It would be better to bla the group and show improvent later.
"You’re saying that you guys practiced your vocals instead of the dance when you knew the dance trainers were coming tonight? You want to waste the minimal ti with by not being prepared? None of you have a single move morized! Not even one! Does that make any sense?" Selena asked them with an incredulous expression, but nobody responded, the contestants just hung their heads even more.
Sighing, she shook her head in disappointnt before speaking, "Fine, show what you practiced. It better be worth it for the disgrace you just showed ."
"Uhm, Trainer Selena, our whole team isn’t here yet. We’re missing one person." Sachi nervously replied as he peeked at Selena before hanging his head even lower.
"Why? Where is he?"
Selena’s cold tone rang out and the contestants audibly gulped before sobody else whispered, "He went to the bathroom. But he should be right back."
"Fine. We’ll wait."
Selena began tapping her foot impatiently on the floor but as ti passed with no sign of Caleb showing up, her expression got colder and colder.
5 minutes later, her cold gaze swept over the nervous contestants.
"Where did you say this teammate was?"
"Uhm the bathroom...maybe he’s lost. I can go check on him?" Vishal stepped forward and spoke up since he was one of the older contestants on the team and so of the team looked like they were about to cry.
"At this point it doesn’t matter. Instead of wasting anymore ti, just present what you have. Decide who’ll cover his part and let see it."
The contestants huddled up and before anybody could say anything, Michael spoke up.
"Ari, I think you should cover Caleb’s part. You clearly know the song back to front and with how angry Selena is right now, we need to do a good job." Michael peeked at Selena’s blank expression before turning away quickly.
"Is everybody fine with that?"
"Yes, she looks mad."
"I don’t want her to yell at ."
"Please do!"
Since they were all in agreent, all the contestants lined up as the instruntal started playing.
The intense bass and trumpet sounds of the beginning sounded out as Ari sang the extended high note before retreating.
Vishal stepped up and completed his rap portion with a less shaky voice than before and all the other contestants perford their parts to the best of their abilities.
Although several voices shook and cracked while they were singing because of Selena’s intense expression, they successfully completed the song with Ari filling in for Caleb and subtly supporting the voices of others while humming at the right pitch.
When they were done, Selena’s expression wasn’t as dark as it was before.
"Okay. That wasn’t bad. I can see you definitely practiced it a bit. I have thoughts about the part distribution but overall, it seems fine. Your vocal teachers can handle that. We don’t have much ti together, so let’s jump right into the formation you’ll use and the choreography. Hopefully your missing teammate decides to join us soti this century." Selena glanced at the caraman with a aningful expression before standing at the front of the class.
First she put them in a basic triangle formation that would allow them to rotate the person whose part it was to the middle and after that video was taken on the tablet, she began breaking down the steps of the choreography.
Unlike Jaywalks teaching style which taught a section at once, Selena taught the moves of each verse one by one, making them repeat it until appeared perfect.
Ari could tell that the others were a bit frustrated with hearing Selena yell ’again’ 20 tis in a row until they finally synchronized on one small move but for Ari, it was how he liked to learn.
He preferred learning a single piece of the choreography puzzle before moving on to the next one, and although his movents were still jerky and not as coordinated, hearing the explanation from an expert, seeing the expected movent repeatedly from all angles, and getting his body forcibly put in the right position by Selena seed to be working amazingly for him because his dance stat improved once again.

[Dance: F -> E- (Currently E with Otterly adorable tracksuit)]
During the whole ti Selena taught them, Caleb never once showed up to class but Ari and several other’s received a nod and work hard ssage from Selena as she left.
And 10 minutes after, she left, Caleb ca inside pretending to fan his face while laughing.
"Phew, I really let out a stinker in the bathroom. My roommates definitely can’t enter for a while. What did I miss?"
Everybody in the room glared including the caraman who was about to leave glared at him.
