Blake Pov
Noa and I got to the nurses office. We got called in. We have to take drug tests. We shouldn't have to do it but we took the blame for Mom and we got sent to Juvie. I'm so glad that when we came back Madame Giry let me back into Ballet. I ended up telling her what really happened and she promised she wouldn't say anything. She also gave me a part in The White Swan.
"Your tests came back positive for cannabis, Noa, Blake." I raised an eyebrow.
"What?" I asked.
"No." Noa said. "No, that's impossible. Someone screwed up, or switched samples." I pointed at my sister.
"Who would've done that? And why?" I sighed. "Now, I should notify Sheriff Beasley." My eyes widened. After what we saw yesterday yeah no. Don't call him.
"No. God, no, please." I said. Nurse Simmons sighed.
"I didn't." I took a deep breath. "I called your mother instead." Like that will go well. We don't do drugs. "So, detention for a week, and tests until summer break and Blake no ballet."
"What!" I yelled. "No. No. I need ballet." I told her. "Check me right now and test it yourself." She sighed. "Ballet is the only thing I have." Nurse Simmons sighed.
"You should see her. She's amazing. Please Nurse Simmons." She sighed again.
"Fine but if more of your tests come back positive then you're done." I nodded. We walked out her office and I leaned against the wall. I started breathing heavily.
"B, look at me." I looked at her. "Look at how I'm breathing." I watched her breath. "Copy me." I copied her breathing. I started to calm down.
"I can't lose Ballet." I told her.
"I know. I won't let that happen. I promise." Noa hugged me. I went to ballet and I changed. I saw Faran Bryant. We have never talked but she's amazing. Madame Giry called me into her office.
"Blake-." She started but I cut her off.
"Nurse Simmons probably told you but it was a mistake. I have never done drugs. You know that." I told her.
"I believe you." I nodded. "But if your next one comes back positive I have to pull you." I sighed but nodded. "I fought hard for you."
"I know. I know you did and I appreciate that. I promise you that it won't. Noa and I don't even know how this one came up positive. We actively stay away from drugs." I told her. "It won't happen again."
"Don't let it." I nodded and she let me go. I went to go stretch. I went to the bathroom and I saw Faran talking to Henry. I sighed. I'm too late. I was stretching when I felt someone next to me.
"Um Blake right?" I looked up to see Faran. I nodded.
"Uh y-yeah. That's me. Blake." She smiled at me.
"Madame Giry suggested that we practice together. She said you were good." I blushed.
"Oh uh yeah sure." I told her. "I have somewhere to be after school but I can in the morning." I said.
"Great. I'll let you here." Faran said and I nodded.
"Faran and Henry. Let's see." Madame Giry said. Faran smiled at me and she went to the front with Henry. Henry was off and it was throwing Faran off so she had to adjust a lot. Next thing, I know Karen starts screaming.
"What's wrong? Are you okay?" Someone asked her.
"What is it now, Karen?" Madame Giry asked. She went over to Karen.
"It's my foot. I don't know." Madame Giry took off Karen's pointe shoes and her feet were bleeding. Madame Giry took out a razor blade. Karen looked at Faran and I. When did Faran get next to me? Why, Faran, Blake? You two already had the parts." I raised an eyebrow.
"What?" Faran and I said.
"We didn't do this." Faran said pointing at her and I.
"No one else would've." Karen said.
"Faran, go to my office." Madame Giry looked at me. "And Blake didn't do it." I raised an eyebrow. Karen looked at me and I shook my head. She sighed. I turned to Faran and I was about to say something.
"You're good." I nodded as she walked away to Madame Giry's office.

I got to to detention with Noa. I sat next to her.
"Detention, ladies, lasts one hour. Exactly. Understood?" I nodded and she walked out. I leaned my head against Noa's shoulder as I kept stealing glances at Faran.
"This is such bullshit. We shouldn't be here, Tabby." Imogen Adams said to Tabby Hayworth. I raised an eyebrow.
"Wait." Faran said. Are you two the ones who trashed Karen's stupid Spirit Queen posters?" Faran asked them.
"Mm, I truly wish we could take the credit, but no." Imogen said. "We didn't do it. Karen trashed her own posters to frame us. She sent me a message in the posters. A message only I would understand. But it was her... Trust."
"I thought you two were tight." Noa asked her.
"No, that was last year." Imogen said. I looked over at Faran and she pointed at her phone to me. I picked up my phone.
faran: we're good, blake. i'm not mad at you.
I looked up and she smiled at me so I returned it.
"This year, she wants to annihilate me." Imogen added.
"Why?" Faran asked.
"At first, it was because she thinks I kissed her boyfriend." I raised an eyebrow.
"So glad I'm a lesbian." I muttered to Noa but I guess it was loud enough that the other girls heard me. Only Noa, Shawn and our mom knew. "Uh yeah I hope that doesn't weird you guys out."
"Never." Faran said and I smiled. Noa squeezed my hand.
"Hey I have two moms. Live your truth." Mouse said. I nodded to her.
"I definitely had a crush on you last year." Tabby said.
"Me too." Imogen said. I blushed.
"Well good thing she isn't available this year." Faran said. I raised an eyebrow. "I thought that was obvious." Noa bumped my shoulder with a laugh. We came up with a plan to destroy Karen and I'm very much down. We were all walking out of detention and I saw Faran. I went over to her.
"Clarify something for me." I said to Faran as I stopped her. We were going to Imogen's house to get the phone. Faran looked at me. "When you said I wasn't available this year, what did you mean?" Faran giggled.
"It means that I don't share. Keep that in mind."
