Honey: Rise Up and Dance Page #5

---

I really wasn't.

Well, where'd you

learn those moves?

Or did they just

come to you?

No, I've been working

with a friend.

He's been showin' me

some of his moves.

Yeah, well, I saw you

on the security cam.

Looked like he was showin'

you more than just moves.

It's not what it looked like.

Honestly.

Look, Skyler, I don't want you

messin' with the likes of that boy.

He's trouble.

I know he look a little rough,

but he's really not like that.

I think I have a pretty good

idea of what he's like.

He's my son.

- What?

- Look, I don't want you to take this wrong

because you are

a beautiful young woman,

but the reason Tyrell is involved

with you is to get back at me.

But I don't...

I don't understand.

We haven't spoken

in the past two years.

Messing with one of my dancers

is another of his games.

So if you don't want to be

played, stay away from him.

But what happened?

I've said more

than I want to.

- But I just...

- I'll see you in rehearsal tomorrow.

Babe, what's goin' on?

Nothin's up. I'm just...

not in the mood.

- What's on your mind?

- Too much.

I'm just, like...

Everything is just

so stressful with work and...

Rehearsals with Pulsar,

and my mom is still on my back

about this medical

assistant's course.

It's just annoying.

I'm over it.

Come here, baby.

Come here.

Just take it

one day at a time,

and everything

will be okay.

- I guess.

- You worry too much. You know that?

As long as everything's okay

with you and me, it's all good.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

I do think you should listen to your mom

about that medical assistant job though.

It pays more than minimum wage.

It's a great job.

Damn, Luke!

- What, baby?

- It was just gettin' good!

What?

Sk... Sky,

where you goin'?

Hey.

Hey!

- What?

- You don't answer my phone calls.

Why all the shade, Sky?

The shade is that

I spoke to your mother.

- You didn't think I would find out?

- I wasn't hiding anything.

Look, it's gettin' busy in here,

so you want somethin' or not?

How 'bout you just come to

the studio after you're done

and let me explain

everything, please.

Look, I'll come by

to your studio,

but you better not

be wasting my time.

I just wanna

Switch locations

She said to me

Come now, come now, baby

Finish that drink

She don't want

No conversation

Only want one thing

And that's

What's frustrating

Heavy and deep

She said she want to know

She said she want to know

Hey, hey

Oh-oh

Oh-oh

Oh-oh

Since I can remember, my mom

resented me for a bunch of reasons.

I still don't know why.

Maybe it's because when she

threw my father out the house,

she was forced

to raise me alone.

That didn't help her chances

of becoming a dancer.

We used to always fight.

When I was 16 years old,

I decided to quit school

and get involved into

the underground club scene.

So, she decided

to do tough love

and said if I got kicked outta

school, if I ever quit,

I had to move out.

So I did.

Maybe I'm as stubborn

as she is.

I don't know if any of this

is makin' sense.

Trust me.

I definitely feel

where you coming from.

The only hope in life my mom

sees for me is drawing blood.

And waste all your talent?

That's crazy.

Your mom said that you were

using me to get back at her.

She would say that.

So when I told you

I was with Pulsar,

why didn't you

just tell me then?

I wanted you

to get to know me first.

I would've told you

I was Jada's son,

you would've looked at me

differently.

I guess.

Whatever

my mom tell you,

know I'm not

playin' games with you.

I'm not lyin'.

I'd like more, but as long as we

can dance together, I'm good.

Girl, you made Maya

work for that one.

I was just trying

to keep up with her.

I would not let it

go to your head.

And you know I was bein'

easy on all y'all.

I just don't want Miss J

all up in my face.

Okay. Anyways, some of us are goin'

to the club tonight. You gonna come?

Oh, my God. Y'all always

goin' to the club.

- Yeah.

- Yeah, girl.

All right. I'm in.

- Hey, Tyrell.

- Hey.

Tyrell, this is

my boyfriend Luke.

Luke, Tyrell.

- Nice meetin' you.

- How do you know Skyler?

Tyrell's her private

dance teacher.

I didn't know that you were

taking private dance lessons.

How you think

she got this good?

Obviously, I need to be

over there taking lessons.

Anytime. I just came over to say you

look good on the dance floor tonight.

Those dance lessons

payin' off.

Nice meetin' you.

So, how long you been taking

private lessons with this guy?

- A few weeks.

- Why wouldn't you tell me anything about that?

Do I have to tell you

everything that I'm doing?

No, but if we're

gonna have trust...

You don't even want me dancin', so why do

you care about what lessons I'm takin'?

- Uh, Sis.

- What?

- The competition just got here.

- Who are they?

That's the crew we supposed to be goin'

up against in Ultimate Dance World.

- Wait, I know her.

- You know who?

Remember when I told you I got my

ass whupped in that dance battle?

- Yes, I do.

- That's her.

- You went up against Eva, Sky?

- Yes.

That's Atmasphere's

best dancer.

Well, well, well.

- Hey, Eva.

- Hey, girl.

So, you didn't come

to check out the competition?

I mean, if we were, I guess

we'd have to go home early,

'cause looks like

I don't see any here.

Yo, she funny.

- Super funny.

- I guess you ain't lost your sense of humor

after we beat you

for a... third time in a row.

If you keep living in the past, the future's

gonna sneak up and bite you in your little ass.

Oh, this big ass

right here?

Your little...

I don't see anything.

- No, you see it. Thank you.

- Oh, that little thing?

- We're gonna catch you later.

- Bye.

Cold world

Cold world, cold world

Cold world

It's a cold world

Cold world, cold world

Sometimes it make you wonder

What we doin' here

Real, in the feel

Gotta get it

How you deal

Can't be lookin' for love

Got to get my HQ

It's a cold world

Cold world, cold world

- What's good, girl?

- Just hangin' with my crew.

Ever since you guys showed up

though, the energy's kind of wack.

Why do you have to be

so nasty?

I'm just playing

with you, okay?

I like your crew.

I'm sure you do.

She's the only thing keeping

you from beating Pulsar.

She won't be

at Pulsar forever.

Tell me about it.

The way things are going

between her and Jada,

she's ready

to walk out tomorrow.

Really?

Jada's holding her back.

She wants to be on a crew

that lets her do her own thing.

And why are you

telling me this?

I'm just trying

to be helpful.

With Maya gone,

you'd have a shot

at replacing her.

Is that right?

It's a win-win.

It's a cold world

- Cold world, cold world

- Cold world

Sometimes it make you wonder

What we doin' here

Real, in the feel

Gotta get it

How you deal

Can't be lookin' for love

Got to get my HQ

It's a cold world

Cold world, cold world

Hold up. Maya.

Why you insist upon adding your own flavor

when you know that's not what I want?
