"Uh oh, I'm falling in love
Oh no, I'm falling in love again
Oh, I'm falling in love
I thought the plane was going down
How'd you turn it right around"
Stephanie Grecchi
Jazz Dancer
I feel the need to go closer to her. It's just in my mind but I don't want to go back to Square 1. I want us to be alright. I immediately shuffle back and I see some sorrow in her eyes as she pulls me into a hug. I hug her back because, I really need someone right now. And all I know is, that person is Emily.
"I'm sorry Steph, I didn't mean anything I said. I'm finding it hard because, you know." She says and looks down. I put my hand on hers. I'm going through the same thing, but I can't even talk about it.
"You two gonna make out or something?" A little boy says. We look in the direction of the door. Matty?
Emily Beaton
Michelle's Girlfriend
Matty is my little brother. He just came back from Summer Camp. My parents never told me he was coming back today!
"Matty!" I say and run towards him and pick him up. Matty is 6 years old, he's a very strange and wild kid. I mean when I was 6, I was literally learning how to put mascara on. Who doesn't?
"Yeah yeah, missed you too." He says sarcastically and not bothered. I put him down and he runs excited to Stephanie.
"Hey buddy!" She says and hugs him. He hugs back tightly.
"Stephanie! I missed you so much." He smiles. My mouth is hung open. I have no words. He misses my best friend more than his own sister? But we all know why...
"I missed you too," She says giggling.
"Now that I'm back, we can go on that date I planned." He says smirking. She raises her eyebrow.
"You planned a date for us, sweetie we're not going on a date." She chuckles and taps his nose. He frowns and goes out of the room.
"At least I tried!" He shouts in disappointment. I chuckle.
"Someone had had a crush on you for ages." I say and sit on my chair.
"Yep."
"Hey, are we okay?" I ask her.
"Y-yeah. Totally," She says looking down.
"Okay. I also wanna say sorry for, I guess being with Michelle. I really like her and I'm sorry that I'm spending more time with her. We can do something fun together today?"
"Sure," She says and sounds unbothered. I feel like after I said that, she just turned sad. I still don't get what her problem is with me and Michelle.
I wake up and see that Stephanie is not next to me. It's 7 AM, where is she? She never wakes up early. I search around the house and she's not there. I even look outside, she's not there. I try calling her. She answers.
"Steph, where are you?" I ask her.
"Em, chill, I'm at the Studio. I just wanted to talk to Miss Kate." She says.
"Okay. I'll meet you with Riley in a bit. Bye," I say and cut the call. It's a relief that she's there. I thought that he took her.
I walk into the Studio with my sister Riley and see Stephanie smiling. It's something I haven't seen in so long. She looks beautiful. Then I look in front of her and there's Michelle, my girlfriend. Michelle comes to me smiling.
"You two friends now?" She asks me. I nod. But are we just friends? Holy shit, I like Stephanie.
