DESTINED for you (the next step)

Part 8

"Hey, guys! Sign up sheet for small group auditions is up." Kate told everyone then Amanda tapped me on my shoulder

Kate: Small group auditions are with three to six people and it gives the judges a chance to see us work together as a team.

"Hey, uh, do you guys want to sign up for small group auditions with me?" Amanda asked Giselle, Thalia and I

"That would be amazing."

"Sure"

Giselle: I am so excited to work with Talia, Destiny and Amanda. I mean, the two new girls, Desiny and me? How great is that?

Amanda: I mean, I get to make new friends and I get to learn a lot from them.

Thalia: They're phenomenal dancers and it really gives me a great opportunity to get to know them.

Destiny: All of them are amazing dancers so having all of us in a quartet should be fun

"Yo, bro. Remember that one time we were on the field, and you threw a cork...?" West said reminding Eldon

James: I'm kind of just looking across the room at Riley, and watching her stretch. I'm trying to read her just to see if I have any hope.

"James are you good?" I asked James who didnt engage in our convosation

"I'm kind of preoccupied with some stuff." James said then I giggled

"Preoccupied? With what?" West asked hising his laughter

"Yo, I...I kissed Beth, bro." James said then all our jaws dropped to the floor "And Riley saw." then I laughed so hard

"Stop this is serious Destiny" James said offended becuase I was laughing

James: For most problems I'd find a way to solve it, but.. maybe there's not a solution to this one.

"Did you kiss Beth, or did Beth kiss you?" West asked

"Well, technically, she kissed me, man." James replied

"Oh, so, you're good, man. You got nothing to worry about. You got nothing to worry about. I mean, unless it lasted more than three seconds." West said then James looked more scared

"What? What? What does that have to do with it?" James asked

"You don't know about the three-second rule?" West asked him then explains how it works

West: How it works is if the kiss lasts more than three seconds, then that means that you're interested. It's not really your fault, you know? Cos it takes your brain three seconds to actually process the fact that you're kissing someone. So, at first it's like, "Oh, my gosh! I'm kissing someone!" And then, "My lips are attached to this person." And then, "I'm trying to detach my lips from this person." And then, "I'm gone." So, that takes about three seconds.

"How long was the kiss?" I asked James who then started counting

"I don't know, like... Nine, nine seconds." James said
