I hear Kimberley open the door followed by Cheryl. I never charged my phone, so I don't know if they messaged me or not but either way, I know Nicola must've told them something and on cue Cheryl sits in my bed.

"Little Cola said you were feeling poorly-," she hesitated, placing a hand on my leg, "need us to get you anything?"

"No, I think I just need sleep." I half lie.

"Let us, I mean let me Kimba make you a cuppa." She offers. I just nod knowing a cup of tea won't hurt.

Cheryl gets up and I hear her walk to Kimber who's in the bathroom. I don't even know what time it is, after dancing I came straight to my room. I took a quick shower, changed into my own cheap clothes and have been lying in bed since then.

"This cuppa will have you feeling brand new." Cheryl ruffles my hair before walking out of the door.

I can hear the shower on and Kimberley singing her little heart out. I have to admit she's got quite the singing voice. Cheryl is always bragging about how Kimberley will be a star in the West End, which I learned it's located in West London where known Broadway theaters have elite plays.

Cheryl and Nicola both sing as well but their passions are dance and fashion. Come to think of it everyone in this school is rather talented and smart. Me, on the other hand, all I'm good at is dancing.

I never had the brains for school, I have always put my full focus on dancing. Dancing will be my out, but I know I have to try and keep good grades to be able to keep my scholarship. I also need to start looking for a job because I won't be going back home when school ends. I want to stay here and work during the school break, I need to gain stability. Working and having access to the dance ballroom is the perfect combination. The school allows to you stay during breaks for extracurricular activities and my scholarship covered that too.

Two knocks on the door caught my attention. The bathroom door is open, but Kimberley is still in the shower. I know it isn't Cheryl, she would've opened the door without knocking, Nicola would've also opened the door without warning.

I don't move, clearly whoever it is wants Kimberley and she's not available. I'm sure if it's important they'll come back, I haven't got the time.

"Woah," I moan. I could've easily gotten up and got the door. What is wrong with me. Hungry, I'm definitely hangry right now. I didn't end up getting any food after dancing and now I'm feeling the effects.

The water stops running, indicating Kim's done at the same time there's two more knocks on the door.

"I got it." I roll my eyes.

"Thanks babe!" Kimber shouts back.

I got up too fast because suddenly I am very dizzy, and everything is black, so I stumble and fall back.

"Shit." I curse, slowly sitting up.

This time I make it to the door, putting on a fake smile. I open the door but it soon turns into a frown the second her eyes meet mine.

"H-hi," she stutters, "is bubb- is Kimbers here?"

"Duh, this is her room too." I roll my eyes leaving the door open and walking back to my bed.

She stills hasn't moved from the door, so I let Kimberley know it's for her. She looks like she's going to break if she moves.

"Kim it's for you." I tell her and I see her pop her head out from the bathroom.

"Lizzzaarddd!" She shouts, waving the girl in.

Any other time I would have felt nervous but after dance she tried talking to me and I pushed past her. It felt good, it felt so fucking good.
