Getting down on Friday (Band)

[Hay-lin Mae]

Hay-lin sat at the bar, there were times she came here to unwind after a long day at work. Some of her students were hard to work with, while others weren’t so much. But the ones that were would take most of her energy for the day. It was why she made a habit of coming to the bar after work, and after she went home to take a shower. No children, or teenagers, don’t get her wrong she loved both but there were times where she just wanted to be away from them. It was that one reason why she felt like she could never have a baby. She would never be able to get a break, and that was not something she wanted to give up. She was very set on just adopting or fostering teenagers the rest of her life. Hopefully her partner, if that was something in her future, would agree with her.


Tonight was a little different than other nights. Hay-lin had invited a co-worker that she had gotten to know a little at school. The girl was a bit younger than Hay-lin, and that actually made her feel old… First she dated a girl who was around ten years younger than her, maybe eight… Now she was hanging out with someone who was 23.. She really liked the younger crowd, but that was alright. Hay-lin didn’t mind, sometimes you needed to hang around younger people to feel young. It was nice though, being able to hang out with a co-worker, and make some friends.

The bartender came over, “Hey beautiful, what can I get you?” Hay-lin smirked, the compliment was nice, though coming from a bartender it wasn’t anything special. “The Nutella Cocktail, please.” The guy went away to make her drink, and she waited quietly for Morgan to arrive.

Morgan was so glad that Hay-Lin invited her out tonight. Since she had been back she had been around no one but her students. Not that she didn't like her student, even though if she wasn't staying professional she would have a few choice words for some, but she needed some time to spend with people her age. Actually she was probably closer in age to some of her students then Hay-Lin but you get the point. She need to let her hair down a little so this was the perfect. Plus she really liked the girl and would love to get to know her a bit more. 

As soon as she walked in she spotted Hay-Lin sitting at the bar. "Sorry, I'm a little late," she said as she sat down next to her taking off her jacket. "I went home after my last session to freshen up and get out of my workout clothes and right when I was about to leave my mom started to talk to me and wouldn't stop. By the way thanks for inviting me out today".

Hay-lin was having some of the same issues, most of her life her in pilot ridge had been about her students. Sometimes a woman needed time away from the teenagers and to spend time with another girl. It felt nice to be actually hanging out with someone her age, that she wasn’t dating.. It made Hay-lin realize she really needed to get a life, and she felt this was one step toward that life.

Hay-lin smiled as she heard Morgan apologize, “It’s totally fine. I just ordered a drink.” Which the bartender just sat in front of her, ”here you go miss.” “thank you”. Taking a sip of her drink, she smiled and hummed, it was pretty dang good and she might just order another of one of these Nutella drinks. “I went back to my place to freshen up also, teaching dance classes can be a bit sweaty.” She took another sip of her drink, and waved Morgan off, “No problem, I figured you would need the time to reset your mind.”

[Morgan Munroe]

"Is there anything I can get you"? The bartender asked Morgan. She stared at Hay-Lin drink for a second. "I think I'll start off with what she having. It looks good." She turn towards Hay-Lin her attention back to her. "So is training. I usually train with my students and most of the training is physical so I'm basically working out every day all day." Morgan smiled as the bartender sat the drink in front of her and thanked him. Her eyes brighten as she took a sip of the drink. "Mmm, this is really good. You know I'm a dancer to. We should dance together sometime. You can show me some of your moves maybe".

[Hay-lin Mae]

“Chocolate heaven right here.” She lifted up her drink in a motion for Morgan to know what she was talking about. The drink was one of her favorites, and has been for a few months now. It was good, and didn’t even taste like alcohol. It’s like adult chocolate milk, with some taste of hazel. “Well, it looks like as teachers we have something in common. Most teachers sit on their ass all day, don’t get me wrong some are pretty amazingly smart, but some don’t actually teach anything to the students.” It was something that she was annoyed with when it came to modern day public schools, it was like teachers didn’t need a teaching degree anymore.

“Oh are you now? You should come by my mother’s dance studio one day, I am usually there most days out of the week, I teach a few classes there, and when I’m not teaching I’m usually just dancing by myself, for myself. It’s a great stress reliever when you’re not teaching the dances… I would love to show you my moves, and I would like to see yours too.” It was nice actually having a friend, especially one her age… Or at least someone who wasn’t a teenager…

[Morgan Munroe]

Morgan shock her head agreeing with her. "Yeah some are good but others not so much. I use to hate that when I was in school".

"That sounds great actually. Like you said dancing for yourself by yourself can be fun but I haven't danced with others in years. When I went to Paris none of the friends I made were dancers so I didn't really have anyone to dance with. Which I love to dance with others because I feel like I get better". Morgan downed the rest of her drink. "These don't get to you fast do they"?

[Hay-lin Mae]

She smirked, “I guess I got off easy, and hard… I was homeschooled most my life, until I want to Hammel. And Hammel is pretty good at hiring good teachers.” She didn’t have some of the breaks that other students had with school from having lazy teachers. “I’m sure more than half of the students that go to public school love those types of teachers.”

“It can be, but I still like having other people to dance with. When you have a partner they can teach you new things. That way I’m not just a one trick pony, you know?” She shook her head, “At least not for me they don’t.. I also drink pretty slowly.”
