Sweet Truth

Haerin didn't get another call from Danielle again.

Danielle was done competing. She made it! Hard work pays off!

Guess who else made it?

Zara. 

But not Lilly. Lilly dropped out. 

Danielle wanted to report Zara for everything Zara put her though but she was scared of what might happen to her for doing so. 

Luckily she didn't have to pair up with Zara again. It was time for everyone to go back home. The 30 dancers would be sponsored flights and hotels again for their next trip. Apparently it was in 2 weeks. Giving Danielle some time to catch up on school work. Honestly- Danielle was happy to be at that event. 

It might have changed her life.

For her last day- while she was still in Hollywood she went to watch live shows- in peace. Just her and her mom. 

There was this group called 'Straykids' who did a Hollywood interview. Danielle was extremely excited.

She saw this..... but up close:

Anyway...

She desired to one day be part of a cool group who got invited to touch things in a box for the entertainment of millions.

She wanted that to be her. 

One step at a time.

And she was prepared to sacrifice anything for it.

Anything.

Back by Haerin, she wasn't excited for Danielle to come back- she didn't care if she had passed on or not because Danielle didn't care to even text her.

'Maybe we should break up.' Danielle lied back in her bed looking at the ceiling. 'I don't think Danielle is the one for me.'

'I was stupid to fall in love with a girl like her. Thank goodness it's not too late.'

"UGHH I'm a fool!" Haerin yelled at herself.

Haerin wasn't sad. She was angry.

Tears? Tears of angry and frustration. 

'Danielle is a backstabber. Good for the moment and nothing more- I'll break up with her when I see her again.'

And with that- Haerin fell asleep.

The day that Danielle returned*

It was a sunny Monday morning when Haerin saw Danielle again- from a distance.

'That bitch' She snapped to herself.

"hey Haerin."

Haerin needed a break from EVERYONE- to avoid the conversation, she was almost forced into she just walked away without looking back. School hadn't started yet so she wasn't forced to sit down and endure.

Minji's eyes burned into Haerin's back as she watched her leave. Then she whispered - knowing that Haerin couldn't hear her. "Your girlfriend is back."

During one of their periods Haerin was sitting and concentrating. Listening to music to avoid the world around her... Music wasn't aloud in class but the students at the back could get away with it because no-one could see them.
