I’m jealous. Jealous of everything you stand for and how much you love your craft. I wish I could say the same.

Joaquin first met Nellie on the track team. It was a simple, pleasant conversation, but it got Joaquin interested in Nellie. He would see her in the halls and smile at her, maybe give her a wave.

One time, Joaquin even saw Nellie dance. He was picking one of his dates up from a dance studio and saw Nellie teaching the class. She looked tired, but incredibly happy and he could tell that’s what she loved to do. Joaquin was even a little jealous; not because of the dancing, he knew how to dance perfectly fine, but because he always wished he could love his art and his career as much as Nellie loved to dance.
