RIPLEY'S POV
right now some of the team that were called in by emily to studio A. so while waiting we all just stretched wondering what this could be about.

noah was telling me that they're starting the process of auditions of who's in the featured dances so i assumed that's what it was.

"hello there?" "hello!"

my head whipped around seeing latroy and sloane walk into the studio. i let out a shocked scream as i ran over, tackling sloane into a hug.

we were extremely close when she was on the team and i missed her so since she decided not to re audition after we loss regionals.

the rest of the team laughed at my reaction as they joined in greeting the couple. when i got a chance i lightly nudged latroy. "you were right."

"about you and ozzy?" he asked excitedly. i smiled nodding and he cheered. "called it!"

"do you guys know why were here?" sloane asked getting all our attention and we did not. "so listen, were each going to choreograph a dance. those dancers are going to face off, then we're going to pick the best dancers to represent the next step at regionals in the hip-hop category." she told us and we cheered with tons of excitement.

"it's a really really big deal so y'all better be good" she told us pointing her finger.

"were gonna split up the boys and the girls though!" latroy told us and the guys went over to him pulling me with them.

i honestly think the guys forget i'm not a guy. like seriously they swear they think my lady parts are just for show.

"and I'll take the boys! y'all can come with me." sloane called making everyone pause.

"ima take the girls. ima take the girls!" latroy said with a small dance "that means you too ripley" he pointed making me cheer going over to him.

the game was on. the guys and sloane left for studio 1

~~
after being taught the hip hop combo, latroy set our formations putting me center. it was quite obvious that davis was having a hard time attacking the dance. latroy could tell since he branded her as blonde jackie.

once we got a break i went down to shakes a ladders where the guys were. "hey guys." i said and they crossed their arms at me. "what?"

"your our competition." henry stated making me laugh.

"your also each other's competition." i said making them exchange glances, knowing i was right.

i chuckled at their reactions and went over to ozzy. he gave me a wary look and i scoffed taking his smoothie. "yo, what's been up with kingston lately?" noah asked us as ozzy let me have his chair, and he stood behind me.

"you know, I just think he has a lot on his plate." ozzy responded and i looked up at him.

"more than any of us?

"he could be stressed out."

"Or he's failing history. kingston told ozzy not to tell anyone, but he told me."

"he is definitely not the same kid who rode in on his hover board, that's for sure." henry said making me chuckle at the memory.

"definitely not." finn agreed making us all scoff at him.

"you weren't even there." i told him.

"but I felt like I was." he said wholeheartedly and i rolled my eyes.

~~
about a few hours later it was time to show our dances. the girls, latroy and i all stood in studio A as the guys and sloane took their time.

"boys?!" jackie and davis called.

"where are ya?"

"no show?" i turned to summer and she hummed.

"yeah no show." she agreed.

"hurry up!" "where are ya boys?"

"aw are they scared?" i turned to latroy.

"aw did they forfeit?" he asked

"winners?" kenzie asked

"winners!" summer and i agreed until the guys version of the song came on and sloane walked in

"there it is!"

the guys started their dance and it was actually really good. one part of their dance was doing a hair flip and they all looked at me before doing so, making me laugh.

once it was done we applauded before remembering they're our competition.

"i mean it was fine." summer shrugged.

"it was ok."

"A for effort." i shrugged.

"that was alright."

"all right, why don't you show me what you got." sloane said.

"girls!"

with that we all got into our spots and the music started. we gave it our all and i knew it was the best we did it

once done latroy and sloane went into the office to decide who's in the small group.

"ok! so the seven dancers we picked are.... finn, noah, kenzie, ripley,"

"henry, summer and finally jackie." i was happy i was picked but i felt bad for ozzy.

once we were done and bid out goodbyes to latroy and sloane, i met with ozzy in the locker room.

"hey oz." i smiled as he looked at me from in front of his locker.

"hey rip, congrats on the small group." he told me and i smiled going over to him.

"thanks, i'm sorry you weren't picked." i said and he waved me off.

"it's ok."

"but you still have contemporary. and your turns have gotten really good." i said making him smiled and pull me into a hug

"thanks, wanna buy me a smoothie since i wasn't picked?" he asked making me smile.

"of course oswald." i said grabbing his hand and leading him out the locker room to shakes and ladders
