|Eldon's P O V|
"So now you're telling me it's all over?"
"Yeah, Eldon I know you like Michelle, so, it's best we end it here."
I saw a tear roll down Emily's cheek.
She squeezed my hand one last time and walked away.
Emily and I are officially broken up... wait... what?
Michelle walked up to me,
"I told you not to break up with her until after Regionals!" Michelle sounded irritated.
"She sorta broke up with me..."
Michelle's jaw dropped, "What!?"
"How did you not see this coming? Michelle, she was so obviously over me, well yesterday was kinda weird, but we all knew this was coming."
Michelle sighed, "I know. So are we together now?"
I laughed awkwardly at what she just said. Do we really have to date?
"Um... I guess."
Michelle nodded excitedly, "Yay, okay so let's tell everyone in a few weeks so it doesn't seem like you were cheating on Emily with me or something stupid like that."
I still don't understand what the point of doing this is... it actually makes zero sense.
"Sure I guess."
I shrugged my shoulders and walked away, I went to my position waiting for the curtain to rise.
As I stood there waiting, I saw Emily walk over to Michelle, oh no, this can't be good...
The only part of the conversation I heard was the end when Emily yelled, "I hope you're happy now Michelle!" at Michelle, which caused some other A-Troupe members to turn around in confusion.
Emily stormed off and made her way to her position, which happened to be hidden under part of the scenery. Everyone eventually returned to their conversations, nobody went to talk to Emily though, they probably didn't want to upset her more.
Michelle walked up to me, probably to spill to me about what just happened. Her eyes were watering, I could tell she was trying to hold in her tears. Why did this have to happen right before our performance?
"She's mad at me... like really mad."
I figured so, I mean, she sort of has a reason to be mad.
"Can we talk about this later please? We have one minute until the curtain goes up..."
Michelle walked to the other side of the stage, getting into postion. She still looked upset, I seriously hope this whole situation doesn't distract her from her dancing...|Michelle's P O V|
I watch Emily talk to Eldon, I can't quite tell what they're saying... Emily grabs his hand and walks away... I think I know what just happened now... I think he broke up with her, but I told him not to break up with her until after Regionals...
I walk up to Eldon, I am very annoyed. I have a feeling everything is going to go downhill from here.
"I told you not to break up with her until after Regionals!"
Eldon looked to the ground, "She sorta broke up with me..."
She broke up with him now? But why now...? My mouth fell open, "What!?"
"How did you not see this coming? Michelle, she was so obviously over me, well yesterday was kinda weird, but we all knew this was coming." I sighed, I guess he's right. I just didn't expect the break up to happen like 5 minutes before finals... maybe now is a good time to start my plan..."I know. So are we together now?"
Eldon laughed awkwardly at what she just said, I know he doesn't really wanna do this.
"Um... I guess."
I nodded excitedly, everything is falling into place. "Yay, okay so let's tell everyone in a few weeks so it doesn't seem like you were cheating on Emily with me or something stupid like that."
I still don't understand what the point of doing this is... it actually makes zero sense. For some reason I want to do this, maybe it's to make Emily jealous, maybe it's to hide my secret, who knows.
"Sure I guess." he shrugged his shoulders and walked away to get into his position.
I just stood here thinking about everything that just happened, then I saw Emily walk up to me, maybe now that she's dumped Eldon she's going to ask me out? Yeah right.
"I dumped Eldon, you can have him Michelle."
But I don't want Eldon, I want you...
"I don't like Eldon..."
She rolled her eyes, "Yeah right."
"No, I seriously don't like him."
She raised her eyebrow.
"Really? Then why are you two constantly together, acting all flirty."
"Me and Eldon are just friends, trust me Emily."
I have a sinking feeling I will never get this through to her.
"Trust you? You stole him from me!"
She shook her head at me, and raised her voice.
"I hope you're happy now Michelle!"
I could feel stares from the other A-Troupers, it's kind of funny how clueless they are about the situation. Emily walked away, leaving me heartbroken. She thinks I like Eldon, she thinks I stole him, she hates me...
I could feel my eyes starting to water, keep it together Michelle.
I walk up to Eldon, I need someone to vent to.
"She's mad at me... like really mad."
"Can we talk about this later please? We have one minute until the curtain goes up..."
I forgot about the performance, oh my god. I walked to my position, trying to clear my mind, trying to focus on the dance I'm about to perform in front of thousands of people, to win Regionals.
Wait Emily is single now, like officially single, this is amazing. But she hates me... after Regionals I have to make this up to her some how, so we can at least become friends again. I hear Miss Kate say "Thirty seconds!"
I really don't want to dance right now, this would have all been avoided if it weren't for my idea to do this stupid duet. I hope we win Regionals with this duet, it would suck if we went through all this just to lose.
I see the curtain rising, this is it.
