Curls of Smoke - Chapter 3 - now available to read on Wattpad!

After his girlfriend's manipulative behaviour reaches a terrifying peak, Florian Fleet leaves the school he attended with her and applies for a place somewhere new: on the ballet course at Oxworth Arts Academy. Healing from the trauma of that abusive relationship and struggling to keep his father happy, Florian's new life is rocky to say the least. But shocking news from home is about to make it even more difficult, and Florian's world will never be the same again.

“Don’t be upset?!” shrieked Kayla, “Of course I’m upset! Why wouldn’t I be upset?! You’d rather spend time with Trina’s brother than with me!” She jerked her head in Charlie’s direction. “Yeah, I know you’re eavesdropping!”

Charlie closed his sketchbook and put it in his bag. “To be honest, Kayla, it’s hard not to overhear. I’m in the same room, and you’re shouting.”

“Get out of my studio!” Kayla snarled at him, throwing her bag in his direction. It fell short, but made him flinch all the same. “God, you’re pathetic.”

“Fine, I’ll wait outside,” Charlie said, flinging up his hands in exasperation, “Duchess Gloria! Shada to vada you’ve venayed to class in such a kervare stink, but maybe it’s nanty but a shoddy journo.”

Richie: So, you do ballet every week?

Eddie: Yeah but don't tell anyone

Richie: Why do you take lessons?

Eddie: To get better!

Richie: Do you get to wear a tutu? *laughs*

Eddie: Fuck off! They're only meant for the girls. I wear my shorts... and my mom won't let me...

Richie: You won't ask for a tutu?

Eddie: ...what for?

Richie: To dance in

Eddie: I'd look like an idiot

Richie: I think it'd look great!

Eddie: *stares at Richie*

Es 1984. Época de grave crisis económica en tierras británicas y, en especial, en la zona minera de Durnham, actividad de la que viven Jackie (Gary Lewis) y Tony Elliot (Jamie Draven). Son momentos extremadamente difíciles, no sólo para ambos que afrontan una huelga; también para el pequeño Billy (Jamie Bell), hijo y hermano de éstos, que extraña a su madre fallecida, cuida a su abuela enferma y descubre su pasión. Que no es el boxeo, como quieren Jackie y Tony sino algo que no es bien visto por considerarlo “menos varonil”: el ballet. De él y su rígida pero maravillosa maestra y mentora, la señora Wilkinson (Julie Walters), dependen que este sueño tenga algún destino feliz.
