Noah's POV
I'm a little bit early for dance today. So it's just me alone at the moment. But that's okay, because I love practicing. Today's the day I'm going to ask out Justine. I know she's the one. I love how her eyes sparkle when she's really focused on something, the way she skips around when she gets excited with her friends, I'm also amazed how she likes the grape flavoured power juice at the juice bar downstairs. I thought I was the only one that likes it. I just think everything about her is beautiful.
My thoughts got interrupted by the boys running into studio A.
"And that's why Aunt Kathy doesn't like it when the goldfishes get sick" says James.
"OHH that explains a lot" Eldon, West and Hunter say.
What are they even talking about?! Hahaa... Typical...
"hey Noah, i see you're here early too" West says.
"Yeah, haha, it's the first practice. I was kind of excited." I say.
"Excited for dance? Or excited to see Justine?" Says James.
I felt my cheeks getting hot. So I looked down, and said "shut up..."
"Aww!!! Is little Noah blushing?!" Eldon says with excitement.
"Oh my god, fine I like her. Big dealll. And I thought you guys already knew that with that whole freak out you guys had yesterday when she left"
"I sooo called it from the very beginning" Eldon says.
"I SHIP JOAH" yells Hunter.
Thank god we have studio A to ourselves right now. They have such loud mouths, yet I still love them.
"Yo, when are you gonna ask her out?" James says.
"Well actually... I was thinking today" I say.
"DO ITTTT" they all yell.
"I will, I will. After practice" I chuckle.
After a little bit of bro talk, everyone else started showing up for our first rehearsal. It was pretty fun since we kind of took it slower and got to know everyone more.
Justine's POV
Noah kept looking at me while we were doing some simple dance moves to warm up. His smile is adorable! I like him, and I really hope he likes me. I needed to work on my posture for this one move where you raise your leg behind you and your arms in front. I always thought it looked like a swan. So I kept practicing that movement over and over again.
The boys in the back were being so loud for some reason.
"I wanna watch you do it, so do it now!" James whines.
"No, I told you i would after practice!" Noah tried whisper yelling, although I could still hear him from the front of the room.
"No! But i wanna see it now!" James whines again.
I went back to practicing. West was doing this awesome double front tuck.
"Nice West!" I said while raising my leg back to practice the 'swan'.
I look back for a millisecond and James is shoving Noah into me which makes me flail my arms and stumble forward.
"Watch out!" Noah grabs my arms trying to pull me the other way.
But I fell right when West was doing another one of those double front tucks.
We all fell into one big mess.
"Bruh" West mumbles under me.
"Oh my god! Sorry West!" I say.
I try getting up but Noah is on top of me. We're face to face. His nice eyes looking down at me wondering if I'm okay. We're so close, we could have kissed. I kind of wish that would happen.
"Heyy Justineeee" Noah says with a cheeky smile.
I chuckle.
"I'm still here, ya know. Two body's on top of mine... It's a little heavy."
Noah grabs my waist to help me up, and kept it there for a moment. That moment felt like eternity. By now, everyone's staring at us. Including Jame's signature smirk. But I don't care. I feel safe in Noah's arms.
"Ew I got cooties" west says breaking the silence.
Everyone laughs.
But Noah and I remain looking into each others eyes.
Noah's POV
I'm kind of glad James pushed me into Justine. I felt sparks flying.
If just looking at her gives me sparks, I wonder how many sparks there will be once I ask her out later.
