What Happens From Here? Chapter 1,
Riley's POV
My sister Emily, known as the 'it girl' or head E-Girl of her elite group of friends, was just taken down, of her 3 year standing role as Dance Captain for A-Troupe. Yes, that's right 3 years! And she's been overthrown by no other then the new girl Michelle, who's nice and reasonable, other then my sister's harsh and nasty ways.
How's she taking it? Last I've seen she busted out the doors of the studio, with tears streaming down her face, followed by her best friend Stephanie who is also no where to be found. I guess, if I were to be in her shoes I couldn't stand to feel everyone's eyes burning into the back of my skull, slowly aiming there weapons at me. If I were her I would of ran out of the studio so fast that they couldn't even have a chance to call my name before I was gone. But the thing is, i'm not her but I can't help to not feel guilty about this.
I mean, i'm super excited to have Michelle as our new dance captain. We actually have a chance of winning regionals this year! But this whole plan of taking the queen down from her thrown, was my idea. I just hope it doesn't blow up in my face, other then the fact Emily's going to hate me for the rest of my life.
For what I heard everyone else is celebrating in studio B, with pizza and a movie.
And where am I? I'm sitting alone, in the corner of my towns juice bar 'Squeezed' drowning my thoughts with a Strawberry Banana smoothie. My fingers laced around my glass cup as I take a sip staring off into space. I slurp down the last bit, and turn down to my ruffled dance bag to grab my phone.
"Need a friend?"
"Ahhh," I shriek jumping from my seat as everyone now had there eyes glued on me. I looked over to find James who suddenly grew a big smirk on his face, sitting across from me.
I slid my phone back into my bag, lifting my head into James chocolate brown eyes. I stared at them for awhile. There just filled with unknown secrets that he hides, and I know they are there. Last week he tried hiding himself failing his mid term math exam, and it didn't go as well as he thought because I made him tell me the truth. But it also means his mom might pull him out. He told me not to worry about it but as much as I hate to admit it... I don't want to see him go.
"Umm... Earth to, Riley" James laughs waving his hands, around my face. I blink a few times and snap but to reality. Damn it, I hope he didn't catch me staring. "Is there like something on my face?" He starts to mock my stare, as I mentally facepalm myself.
"Nope, just thinking..." I say quickly.
"Thinking about my eyes?"
"Ha," I mumble sarcastically under my breath. My body starts to tense up as James leans forward. He's arms crossed on the table brushing up against mine. I slowly slide my arms to my lap, feeling my face flush and heat up.
"Is everything alright?" He asks me with a slight hint on worry on those 3 words.
No, my sister hates me, i'm sitting here at a juice bar with flared red cheeks and you might be gone from my life in a matter of days. So in other words, "Fine, everything is fine" I give him a small smile looking down at my feet.
"You know i'm here for you right?" James saids trying to find my eyes. "I really am"
"I know," I whisper. I fix my sight on my empty cup and lift it off the table. "I have to go now," I walked over to the counter and gently set my tall glass on it. I shove my hands into my pockets and walk over to the door. My hand reaches the handle as someone grabs me pulling me back.
"You forgot this," James saids holding my bag in his hands.
"Right... thanks" I down at our hands, held together. I then look up, as soon as he pulls his hand back to his side. I watch him walk away down to where everyone else stays. "You want to join us?" He snaps his head back at me calling me over. "This was your idea in the first place," My idea... don't remind me.
"Uhh, I have to go and check on... my... m-my cats, yeah... but i'll text you later" The words stumble out of my mouth, and before I know it i'm now standing out here on the streets. I glance back at the doors repeating to myself, 'Don't fall for him he's no good' but really, he's amazing.
