"5..6..7..8" Diana, my dance coach counted as she made sure my steps were accurate. Tomorrow is the big day, We're going to be performing our dance routines.

"Beautiful!" Miss Diana smiled as she grin at my finished routine.

"Absolutely effortless Skyla, take a break be back at around 2 okay?" She said before leaving the studio, I nodded and grabbed my water bottle. "I'm so nervous for tomorrow" I told Emily as I sat next to her drinking my water.

"Don't be, we worked hard and it's only fair for us to show off those kick ass moves right?" Emily said, I agreed to her. We've been rehearsing for more than 2 months to perfect the routines but I can't help but feel in doubt of my single performance since it is my first time doing a solo performance.

"You want to head off to starbucks? Or is Luke going to take you out to lunch again like every other day?" Emily joked, though it's true for the past few days Luke had been quite clingy and it's kind of unusual but I usually don't mind.

"Nah, he's leaving tomorrow" I told Emily with sad smile as I looked down on the floor shuffling my feet around. "Oh" was all Emily's reply.

We were quite for about 30 seconds until I stood up, "So, starbucks?"

Emily drove us over to the nearest starbucks and we both ordered our usual beverages. Emily got a caramel mocha and I just got a Mango Passion fruite Frappuccino.

We sat down and sipped our drinks quietly.

"So, tell me Sky what's the relationship status?" Emily smirked, giving me a teasing look.

I looked at her weirdly,"Single?" I questioned.

Emily rolled her eyes, "What about you and Luke?"

I blushed and looked down on my drink playing around with the straw. "Um, we're just friends" I blushed harder. Emily gave me another teasing look, "Cut the bull, you like the boy don't you?" Emily bursted, it was weird to see Emily with this personality since she's usually the shy type but apparently she has shown her true colours in Starbucks.

"No, I do not" I shook my head a took another sip of my drink. Emily didn't say anything further, she just gave me a sad smile and scrolled through her phone while sipping her drink.

I don't like Luke that way, I think.

I decided to take out my phone and switched it on camera, "I'm going to video okay?" I told Emily, she just nodded and continued scrolling through her phone.

"Hey guys, so I'm here with Emily in starbucks" I turned my phone camera towards Emily and she gave a small wave. "So, we're having a break from dancing I'm so excited for tomorrow but also a nervous wreck and-"

"Skyla likes Luke" Emily whispered in the background, I gave her a warning look which set her off smiling sheepishly to herself. "Anyways, yeah we're at starbucks" I smiled and waved.

I didn't hesitate to post it on twitter immediately. "What time is it?" Emily asks as she finished her mocha. "1:46" I told her. "Let's head over to the studio"

"Okay everyone, you all got your schedules?" Miss Diana asked, a wave of "yes" washed by as everyone answered her.

"Good, so I'll be seeing you all tomorrow at the venue at 3pm alright? Last rehearsals" Miss Diana informed everyone, "You may leave and good luck for tomorrrow!" She added as she clasped her hands together in excitement.
