April's P.O.V
I walk into my dressing room and sigh loudly.
I'm so tired and stressed out, so, I rest my head on the dressing table and close my eyes.
Alas, peace and quiet!!
"April Hawkins" Someone calls from behind me and my shoulders tense
I spoke too soon
I turn around quickly to see Ivy, and my eyes widen
"Hey, Ivy" I sigh. How did she get in here so quietly? And what does she want?
"What? The work's too much for you, Princess?" She sniggers and I just give her a blank look.
But I don't know. Maybe I was supposed to laugh along?
"What is it?" I ask her in a bored tone
"Oh... Nothing much" She smiles and I frown
Something's up. It's way too obvious
My thoughts are confirmed when Ivanna's smile easily transforms into a smirk
"What do you want?" I narrow my eyes at her
"Tell me, is Federico really your dance tutor? Like the Federico?" She asks
I don't answer her because she already knows.
My eyes shift to the door as Noah and Danielle walk in.
"Dani" I grin, the same time she yells "AP!" and rushes over to hug me
"I feel like I haven't seen you in forever" Danielle gushes and we hear Ivy scoff behind us.
We pull away and roll our eyes at her, and her at us.
I look away to face Noah. He's looking at the three of us, shaking his head, clearly amused by our behaviours.
"Hey, Noah" I smile and he raises an amused brow at me
"Oh. I'd almost thought I was invisible just now" He smirks and I grin.
Before I can say anything to that, Ivanna steps in and hooks her arm with Noah's
"Noah, darling. How can you say that?" She asks sweetly "You'd stick out anywhere"
I exchange a look with Danielle and hold in a gag
"Uhh... I can't tell if that's a good thing or not" He laughs nervously before setting himself free from her and walking over to me
He puts an arm around my waist and looks down at me with a butterfly errupting smile.
I fight back the smug smile that wants to appear on my face at the turn of events
"Hey" He says, and I gulp before looking over at the sisters in front of me with their jaws to the ground.
I clear my throat and turn back to look at Noah "Hi"
"Oh my God!!" Danielle squeals shamelessly "When did this happen?"
"Right" Noah clears his throat, grinning "April is my girlfriend now" He announces, his eyes trained on me, and mine on him.
I look away from him slowly to look at Ivy.
I involuntarily supress a shudder when I see her glaring deadly at me.
When she notices me looking, her glare suddenly forms into a smirk.
That can't be good.
"April?" Ivy asks, shocked "You're also dating Noah?"
What did she just-
I turn to see Noah's face slowly twist in confusion
"What does that mean?" Danielle asks in my stead
"Doesn't that mean you're cheating, April?" Ivy ignores Danielle and asks in fake innocence. I stare at her blankly
"Ivy. What are you talking about?" I ask her seriously
