   TOP made sure to watch Lizz as she took Abby's measurements and was also careful to watch Abby as well for any signs of distress or if she was uncomfortable. Tae knew he was when Lizz started rattling out questions and lifting his arms up here and there to take down his measurements. Tae walked over to the stool Abby sat on and leaned against the counter beside her, careful to give her enough space away from him so she wasn't uncomfortable. She was so timid and shy that he was afraid to do anything near her in case it would startle her or make her run away from him.
"Modeling...you could definitely pull it off Abby." Tae sighed and let his head roll back, the bones cracked as he did so and he let out a breath of relief, that felt a lot better. TOP was feeling withdrawal symptoms from not dancing in so long, he fished his Ipod out of his jeans and stuck one earbud into his ear so he could still listen to the goings on in the room. Involuntarily, TOP's feet started to move to the beat of his music, he REALLY wanted to just bust out of his shell and dance for a second but he didn't in case he would get in Lizz's way or freak out Abby with his odd styles of dancing. BBoying definitely wasn't something graceful like ballet was.

↑.:. Abigail .:.↑ ╔══════════════╗ Abby heard the music coming out of his IPOD and she smiled, knowing that song. Most people thought that Ballerina's were stuck up, and only danced to classical music. But they were wrong. Sure, Abby danced to classical music and loved doing it. But she loved dancing to metal music more than anything, and it made her feel good to do it. Her head started to bob just a little to the music she could hear, and she smiled, idly doodling on her pad of paper.
Abby just looked up at him and arched a brow sarcastically when he said that she would be a good model. She wrote on her paper and smiled, showing it to him.
"Yea, maybe on a different planet."
Still shaking her head and laughing silently, she changed the page and began to doodle again. ╚══════════════╝

   TOP looked over at Abby and smiled brightly, he didn't know that ballet girls listened to his style of music, it turned out that Abby was a lot more than he had originally realized. Before, TOP merely thought she was a pretty face with some ballet skills...she was a very welcome change in his life. Tae turned his Ipod up all the way and set it down on the countertop. He took a few steps away from Abby and started stepping out in his Bboy stances. He was just warming up at first with some footwork, threading and c-walking. Then he switched it up to a few back-flips and air flairs. He was really getting into his dancing and the music seemed to take over his body and bend it to its own will. Soon Tae got himself to do a quick windmilll before landing flat on his back. He coughed a few times and stayed flat on the ground. The Windmill was one of the harder moves in Bboying and he was determined to perfect it...it didn't seem to be any time soon.
"Well...looks like SOMEONE needs practice." TOP sighed and rested his head on his arms, looking up at the ceiling. He lifted his head then and looked at Abby. He feigned a mask of pain and clutched at his shirt near his chest where his heart would be.
"Help me....I have fallen...." Tae coughed and his hand dropped, his head lolling to the side with his eyes closed.

↑.:. Abigail .:.↑ ╔══════════════╗ Abby looked on with interest as TOP got into his moves in front of her. The only kind of dancing she had seen was dancing like hers, and she was interested to see what the other dances took. It looked like a lot of muscle was used, and Abby looked at the way he let his hands land, an idea forming in her head. Ballet and Bboying were kind of the same thing, just shown in different ways. It still took a lot of muscles and quick moves, and she was starting to think she might be able to incorporate some of the moves into her dance.
But then he was on the ground. Abby jumped off the stool, her heart starting to go erratic, and got down on the ground, her hands on his chest. She felt inadequate, not even able to ask him what was wrong. But, from looking at him, he looked fine. Abby just shook her head and got up, getting back on her stool. ╚══════════════╝

 Jeremy Alexander Orion Shen X J. A. O. S. X The Joker A light sigh came from Jeremy's lips. He had been wandering the campus town all day. He was trying to find a comedy club to spend his time at, and had no success anywhere close to the school. Maybe he'd find one that was further away. But that was his venture for tomorrow. Today he was going to worry about having a show prepared. His mind was wandering any story he had that would work around his school, while he himself wandered the school grounds, wondering what he could do.
He could always go back to his dorm room and sit bored, but what good would that be? Headphones blasted Popular from Wicked. Jeremy always loved Broadway musicals, and Wicked was one of his favorites. Readjusting his glasses on his face, he smiled lightly. He loved listening to Popular. Glinda had a very high opinion of herself, and called poor Elphaba unfortunate looking and dreary. Suddenly his music switched over to the Bend and Snap from the Broadway version of Legally Blonde. He loved songs such as it and Popular, they were just entertaining to listen to.

TOP chuckled aloud as he got himself up off of the ground and walked over to Abby on the stool.
"Well, that looked like you really cared about me for a second there. Am I mistaken?" He winked at her. Tae put his hands over his chest as she had done earlier when he was on the ground and sighed deeply, his head shaking slowly. "I will never forget the way your hands landed on my chest like that." TOP shook his head and smiled at Abby apologetically.
"I'm sorry I tricked you...I didn't mean to startle you like that." Tae knew she wasn't a fan of being touched but he did it anyway. TOP wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into a tender hug, careful not to spook her. Sometimes she really embodied the spirit of a deer in the headlights, they were easily startled and and froze on the spot when frightened. TOP rested his chin atop her head for a moment and closed his eyes.
"I really didn't mean to." He whispered before letting her go and smiling again in the normal TOP maner.

♠ Lizzy F. Wonder ♠ The Fashionista ☓ ☓ ☓ ✖ ☓ ✖ ☓ ✖ ..........Lizz.......... ✖ ☓ ✖ ☓ ✖ ☓ ☓ ☓ Lizz finished the outer bit of the jacket. She got up and snagged a bag of batting off of the shelve. She placed the Jacket parts on the table and pined then together carefully. She didn't say anything she she worked. Didn't even look up at the people in her work space, her eyes were glued on the garment. It was starting to take shape. Once it was in jacket form Lizz got up and grabbed Top's arm dragging him away from the counter a few feet, she unzipped his hoodie and slipped it off his shoulders, not even bothering to ask first.
"Don't move or you will get poked."
She warned him and put his arms in the sleeves then the torso over his chest and back. She pinned it carefully and reworked the hemline so that up hung even, he had more of a butt than she had expected.

↑.:. Abigail .:.↑ ╔══════════════╗ Abby shrugged, trying to act like the trick hadn't bothered her that much, even though it had. She didn't know why she had reacted that way, and she really didn't want to think about it. Things could get messy that way.
Abby was so tired of blushing, but it happened again when he asked her if she cared about him. She wanted to shake her head and deny it, but really that would be a lie and she knew it. If she didn't care about him, then why would she have jumped like that? So, she just looked up at him, her eyes honest. She didn't shake her head to indicate otherwise.
But she was the most surprised when he hugged her. She had already fathomed that he liked to touch, even if it was just an arm or a hug. And, surprisingly, she didn't tense up or move away when he hugged her that time. Instead, it was like she opened herself up, if even for just a second. She hugged him back lightly, ready to move back if he didn't want her to touch him.
She laughed silently when he was tugged away and looked at her watch. It was getting late, and she was really tired. But she had to eat before she went to bed, even though it just seemed like a waist of time right now. ╚══════════════╝

   TOP's breath suddenly became ragged when he felt Abby hug him back. He didn't expect her to react that way seeing as how she tended to flinch and tense up whenever he touched her previously. He liked it though, it was gentle and tender between the two of them and he was very glad that she seemed to be a little more comfortable with him. A little went a long way in his book. Tae was about to say something in return to her when he was whisked away again by Lizz. He exhaled and long breath and stood still as she pinned pieces of a jacket together on his body. He kept turning his head over to Abby and giving her secret little smiles every once and awhile, he seemed to have taken a quick liking to her. It was probably because she seemed pretty normal out of everyone he knew on campus and he liked that. She was also cute and made his heart skip a beat every time she smiled or looked at him with her questioning eyes.
"I promise I won't move...I'm not a fan of being stuck with pins like a porcupine." TOP grinned at Lizz and stayed absolutely still as Lizz finished her work on him. All the while, TOP kept replaying the scene in his head. Abby jumping up after him and the feel of her delicate hands over his chest...it seemed surreal and very different to him. He'd flirted with girls before and they seemed to almost throw themselves at him, he liked that Abby didn't do that.
"Maybe after this I can take you girls out to eat? You guys have to be hungry, I know I am." And as if on cue, TOP's stomach growled and he groaned. "I'm STARVING."

((nothing really, everyones just kind of wandering in their sections for now)) ↑.:. Abigail .:.↑ ╔══════════════╗ Abby caught the glances that he sent her way, and she couldn't help but smile a little in return. TOP made her feel things that she'd never felt before, and she really had no idea what to do about it. It wasn't like they were unpleasant, they were just foreign to her.
She jumped when her cell rang, and a blank stare seemed to come over her face. She had a cell phone for one reason only, and that was so her dad could call her. She didn't look up at TOP or Liz, just took her phone and stepped outside, so if there were harsh words, only Abby's ears would hear it. ╚══════════════╝

Lizz smirked and 'accidentally' Stuck him in the ribs with a pin. She finished pinning it and helped him shrugs of the jacket then laid it out on the table where she got to work putting pockets on it, and straightening the seams.
"I would hate for you to have to dace with a broken leg Top.... Abby looks tired you should walk her home, I think I'm done with you for the day."
Lizzy felt a little bad for the girl, and she didn't want her to have to sit around her studio bored all evening. The young woman planed to stay pretty late. She had a showing coming up in two weeks and nothing was ready. She had trashed a whole collection of pants because she found out that the fabric she had used was made by child labor, and now she needed to cram.

   TOP winced when he felt something sharp stick him in the ribs and figured it was probably Lizz. He shook his head with a big grin on his face and knew he probably deserved it. His grin however, faded from his face as quickly as it came when she threatened to break his legs. That would be the biggest nightmare to him...without his legs he couldn't dance, without dance he couldn't express himself, without expression...he would completely die inside. When the jacket came off, TOP stood at attention and saluted her formally.
"Yes ma'am! No dancing in here, oh no." He winked at her and smiled a lopsided smile.
TOP looked to Abby as she walked off with her cell phone and wondered if anything was wrong or if it was just a call from someone. He looked back at Lizz and smiled at her, she wasn't all that bad...just VERY passionate about her work.
"Okay, I'll bring you back something to eat yeah? I don't take no as an answer so I'll just grab something and bring it with me. I'll see you in a few." Tae called back as he reached for his hoodie and slipped his arms through the familiar material. He walked outside and took in a deep breath of air, his eyes scanning for Abby. TOP found her with her cell phone and decided to keep his distance in case it was private. He waited for her though, he wouldn't leave without her.

↑.:. Abigail .:.↑ ╔══════════════╗ Abby just stood there, expressionless and shivering a little from the cold, as soft spoken words were said to her. But they weren't nice in any way. When the phone went dead on her, her expression didn't change as she put the phone in her pocket and turned. Her eyes widened the tiniest bit when she turned and saw TOP, because truth be told, she hadn't expected him to wait for her. It wasn't his fault she felt that way, it's just no one had ever waited for her before. She had never really mattered before.
She schooled her features into impassivness and walked over to TOP, because depression was not going to help her become what she wanted, and besides, no one liked someone who acted like a wilted flower. Abby had been a wilted flower to long. ╚══════════════╝

"I'm all set Top! You should go practice or what ever. Don't come back here! I'll see you tomorrow."
She didn't currently have enough cash to cover three meals a day and was living on ramen for breakfast, a potpie for lunch, and a lot of tap water, plus stolen coffee from the teacher's lounge. Her family had stopped sending money other than the bare minimum to cover tuition. They wanted her to get a job to cover her own expenses, not happening. She's rather die from malnutrition than work a job that she hated. And it looked like that would end up being her fate. That was why she was so passionate.
