The Next Step Highschool

Chapter 15

Michelle's POV

My parents were out on a business trip back to the US. Don't get me wrong I love Canada and Toronto, but why did we move if my parents then are going back? I know my dad was transferred but now they are thinking about putting him back somewhere in the US.

But I'm glad we did come here. Eldon is so cute and sweet. Oh my god don't get me started on how he dances perfectly. All of my friends are really nice too. Except that bitch Emily and her minions Stephanie, Beth, Chloe and Daniel.

Secretly Daniel texted me saying that he wants to leave that group but he has a crush on Chloe but he knows that she likes my brother so we're trying to come up with a solution.

I must have been too much in thought because I'm suddenly sprayed with water. I scream and I look to see my idiotic brother standing there with a "finally!" look on his face.

"WHY DID YOU SPRAY ME?!"

"because I have been calling your name for about 10 minutes and you haven't responded." he said in a duh voice.

I just glare at him.

"anyways I'm taking Hector out for a walk ooh and some friends are coming over so you might want to wash up." he smirks and dashes out the door.

I groan and take Hector out for a little walk as I do that I see Riley out on her porch. I go up to her and she gives me a weak smile. Somethings wrong. I can feel it.

"hey are you okay?" I ask worried,

"fine, never better!" she says. I hope she knows that i can tell that she's lying.

"Riley your biting you lip and your rubbing your neck." I tell her.

She signs and puts her head in her hands.

"ugh...it's just...I think I heard Emily speaking with Stephanie and Beth. I think they might be planning some sort of revenge." Riley says biting her nails.

"well whatever she's trying to do I won't go down or give up without a fight." I say. "I'll be fighting for you too."

"oh no no no, you don't need to do that Michelle. I can take care of myself." Riley protests.

"I know you can take care of yourself. It's just...when we were little, Hunter and I would always go everywhere together. He got his first girlfriend and she was someone who did not like kinaesthetic learners."

"what type of learner are you?" Riley asks me.

"kinaesthetic." I simply say. "you?"

"mix between Kinaesthetic and Visual." she replies.

"same as my brother." I nod and then go back to telling the story.

"so when she made us take a test. And when she found out what type of learner I was she got really really weird. Started screaming at me and Hunter. And to keep it short, we had a fight because she loved my brother but hated me and Hunter said that if she doesn't like who he is and who his family members are then he would break up with her. Ever since than I don't know something just clicked and I-I have had this thing to help others now even if it means puting myself in danger."

"wow that was kind of deep." Riley says in a bit of a shock. "is that why you wanted me and James to be together?"

"well I saw that you really liked him and he really liked you and you know, love sometimes waits for you, sometimes it's taken away from you in a second. You never know what to expect."

"thank you." Riley says gently.

"for what?" I ask confused.

"you are really really brave. I know that you've been through a lot and I everybody thought that you'd be one of those shy girls. Well you aren't and that's what getting everybody at school jumpy about. No one has ever stood up to Emily in school so I don't know you had a lot of courage to say something like that to her."

I pull her in for a hug.

"so I have a something to tell you." I say. Riley looks at me and nods.

"okay tell me."

"Hunter and I are thinking about adopting another puppy and we were looking but this puppy. She has a sister and her sister isn't getting adopted. So we were thinking if you would like to have her."

She stares at me for a while.

"I mean you dont' haveto if you don't want to but they have a great sibling bond and-"

I'm cut off by Riley hugging me to death.

"OH MY GOSH YES!! FOR SURE I'LL TAKE HER! Wait let me check with my mom.

Riley's POV

I go into my house and I see my mom.

"hey mom can I ask you something?"

"yeah sure anything!" She looks up from what she's doing.

"can I get a puppy? Michelle told me that her family is adopting another one and that one has a sister and if they don't get adopted soon then their have to go somewhere else like a pound or something"

She looks at me with a blank face for a minute until she smiles. "sure why not!" She says.

"okay I understand- what you-you mean I can adopt her?!" I yell.

"yes you can." my mom smiles. I go up and give her a big hug.

"Thank you thank you thank you I love you!" I give her a kiss on the check and run outside.

"I love you too sweetie!"

I go outside and I see Michelle,

"she said yes!"

"perfect they will arrive in 1 week." Michelle says.

"what type of puppies are they?" I ask.

"Shih Tzu." Michelle smiles.

I feel myself smiling. Michelle and I talk for a little bit more and then she goes.

...............Christmas Eve....................

I wake up and its snowy outside. The ground is in a beautiful layer of white covering everything. Rosa and I are going to meet Michelle and her sister, Shay at her house. We are all going to be there. They are throwing a Christmas party. We have to bring our presents and clothes because we'll be sleeping over there for a while. I hear a knock on the front door.

"hey there babe!" my supper hot boyfriend say pulling me into a warm hug.

"hey are we ready?" I ask.

"yup!" I reply

We head on over to Michelle's house. As soon as we knock we hear some barking. Michelle answers the door as Hunter holds Shay so she won't escape.

"hey hey hey come on in!" she greets us.

We come on in and put the presents under their tree. Hunter puts Shay down. Both Shay and Rosa are very close to Hector. They see him as a big brother.

"do you guys want tea? coffee? hot coco?" Hunter asks.

"you guys drink coffee?" James asks.

"sometime only on special occasions." Michelle pipes in.

We both take some hot chocolate. Everyone is here.

"hey guys!" Amanda smiles.

"come join the fun lovebirds!" Tiffany teases.

Michelle takes a seat on Eldon's lap and Eldon wraps his arms around her waist burring his face in her neck.

?'s POV

I just go in contact with Hunter's ex boyfriend. She agreed and we are going to get rid of Riley and Michelle.

"you ready?" Emily calls.

"yup!" I shout back. We've been trying to do something but nothing has worked. We'll just see now. If Michelle is strong enough to fight for everyone she loves then we're gone.

"alright time to put out a plan..."
