Usually when Melanie was supposed to be spending time with her boyfriend she made it a point to actually somehow spend time with him. However, currently that was only being accomplished in the loosest sense of the word by the fact that they were actually in the same room. But unlike usual, where they'd sometimes do homework in the same room and could have contact with one another that wasn't really an option at the moment because she was busy practicing because she needed the extra practice. Not that she was terrible at the dance style that they were currently working on, she just wasn't where she needed to be and she knew it. Actually, she was enver exactly where she needed to be, because she didn't specialize in anything. When she was younger, she'd done like Beth and focused primarily and heavily on ballet, which she supposed was still her strongest skill set to this day because of how much she'd put into it. However, she'd decided before getting to the Academy that she didn't want to be a ballerina, but she wasn't sure what she wanted either.
What that meant was that she tried to even her skills out in every type of dance that they tried, so that she wasn't lacking anywhere. It wasn't that popular of an approach, more people just put most of their energy into the type of dance they wanted to specialize in and then used the remaining to improve their skills elsewhere when they needed to. However, she didn't want that to be her, so it meant that pretty much always she was putting in the same amount of energy no matter what they did, because there wasn't anything she already had a lead on compared to other classmates. Today was no different and it meant that she'd pretty much just been pushing herself the whole time she was practicing and ignoring her boyfriend who was busy doing his own work. Finally, she figured that she'd got it well enough after her last time. Which was good, because she was pretty tried and more than ready to be done. "Okay, that's it, I'm calling it," she said, reaching down and pulling off her tank top because it was just too hot to leave it on.
