The Next Step Highschool

Chapter 17

Riley's POV

After finishing the last movie we all decide to go to bed. Michelle and Hunter go and bring their blankets and pillows down. We're all sleeping in the living room. James picks me up, causing me to giggle.

"I got a huge, fluffy, soft blanket that you and I can share tonight." He whispers.

I turn around and smile. "sure, why not!"

We all settle down. Daniel and Chloe are sleeping on the couch together. I bet they'll be a couple by New Years. Richelle is sleeping on a chair. (the chair is really big and soft) There is one more couch.

"HEY JILEY YOU GUYS TAKE THE COUCH!" Giselle yells.

Everyone nods along and shove us onto the couch.

"okay, okay calm you shiz." I say pushing them all off of me.

James gets on the couch and pulls me on top of him. He wraps his arms around my waist so I won't fall off.

"you guys are just so cute!" Morgan gushes.

I roll my eyes and Michelle turns off the lights. Not long after we hear a few mumbles. We turn a flashlight on and we see that Michelle tripped over West and Hunter. More like she tripped over West and fell on Hunter.

"okay just get your freaking ass off of me!" Hunter says.

"jeez fine. I could but your hand is on my hair." Michelle replies.

"well just get off."

"then move your hand!"

Noah and Max sigh as they pull the two siblings apart.

"thanks." they both say to the boys.

Chloe's POV

In the middle of the night I wake up. I quietly get up and I get a class of water. As I do soI hear somebody behind me. Daniel.

"hey why are you up Chlo?" Daniel asks.

"oh I just need a drink." I say hiding my face so he couldn't see me blushing.

He puts two fingers under my chin and looks at me. "did you have a nightmare?"

I sigh and nod my head slowly. I wouldn't say it's a nightmare, just something that's bothering me.

"it wasn't really a dream it's just something has been bothering me."

"what is it?" he asks gently.

"I have this feeling that on the first day back to school from Winter Break..something gonna go wrong."

"hey, hey. It's okay. Nothing is going to hurt you. Okay I'll be here for you always."

I look into his eyes while he looks into mine. We lean in and our lips touch. It feels amazing! I pull away and he smiles.

"Chloe, would you like to go on a date with me?" he asks holding my hand. I nod my head and we go back to sleep.

Max's POV

The next morning I wake up and I see everyone sleeping. Well I see the boys up so I decide to go talk with them.

"hey bro?" Noah pats me on the pack.

"ugh so early." Hunter groans.

"dude it's like 10pm." I say.

"let's pull a prank on the girls.!" Daniel whispers.

We all agree and we then wake the girls up and make then a nice brunch.

"mm, well this is a surprise." Chloe snickers at Daniel.

He puts his arms around her waist and kisses her really close to the lips.

"the least I could do for my girl." Daniel replies.

"awww!" the girls say.

"ew.." us boys say.

"wait dude are you guys?..." James questions point at them.

"yup." Daniel smiles.

We all break out smiling and yelling congrats.

"oh my gosh Chloe I'm so happy for you!" Tiffany squeals. All the girls give a group huge to her.

"you finally maned up to ask her out!" West said playfully punching Daniel's shoulder.

"yeah well James also took forever." Daniel chuckles.

We then look at each other and smirk. Michelle and Hunter have a pool outside and we now that's it cold outside but the pool is really really warm. They put a tarp over so it's not as cold as it would be in the morning.

Michelle and Hunter also last night taught us a song that they learned from their cousins in California.

because I was afraid to surf when I was just a lad,

my father took my board away and i felt really sad, (so sad)

but then one day i learned a word that every surfer knows,

the biggest word I've ever heard and this is how it goes  oh!

supper California surfer expert on the ocean,

even thought the most of them do not wear sun tan lotion,

"hey can we go outside for a second?" I ask.

"um sure..." Amanda says.

As we go Thalia's hand brushes mine and we look at each other. She smiles sweetly at me and nudges my elbow.

"I like you too." she whispers.

Once we are out the girls stop.

"wait why is the pool tarp off?" Abbi said backing up into Noah.

"well it fell off last night." West replies.

The girls are unsure then faster than you can say supper california surfer expert on the ocean we push them in.

"oh my gosh!" they all scream.

"James help me up!" Riley begs.

We all put our hand down to grab two girl when they all pull us in. Very tricky.

We fall in and when I come up I see that West accidentally hit Noah in the face. We all laugh. After some time we all go in and open up presents.
