Westly stood off to the corner of the room watching the whole thing and it kind of made him upset because this is not only Norah's second day here but she's new at Praise Dance Worship, you don't know her, so why treat her any kind of way that's the opposite of nice.
When Norah walked away from Veronica, he jogged up to her giving his best smile and tapped her on the shoulder.
"Hey?"
She turned to face him and smiled, but it didn't reach her eyes.
"Westly, hi."
"I don't have a partner, so do you want to be partners?"
She nodded, "Sure."
"Cool, uh, I'm going to ask miss Allison if we can use one of the empty rooms."
"Okay," Norah grinned.
They are currently in one of the empty studio rooms trying to come up with their dance.
"Oh, I know! How about kick, kick, and throw our hands up, let them down, then we do a full sixty spin and lift them up again." Norah suggested.
Westly nods, "Yeah, that's cool, we can also do this." He slides to the left then to the right, then he did a flip and threw his hands up.
Norah clapped her hands, "Yes! Can I name this dance?" She asked.
"Yeah, go for it." He was intrigued with what name she had in mine.
Westly laughed as she jumped up and down in excitement.
"Let's Praise!"
He repeated the name in his head and grinned.
"I like that, let's finish this before times up." She nodded and they brainstormed more ideas for the dance.
"1,2,3 kick left foot out then right foot out, let's throw our hands up in the air, slowly put them down and spin around and back the other way, lift our hands up again and slide to the left then to the right and finally, we do a backward flip and once we land, we throw our hands up."
"And then we do the first five steps over again and the dance is finished!"

'Norah's pretty funny and I think we make a pretty good pair.'
Norah jumps up and down shouting, "That was so much fun!"
Westly laughed and held up his hand for a high five, "High five!"
She high fived his hand and they returned to the others.

Veronica decided to pair up with Emmett because he's easy to work and honestly, she's not in the mood for anyone's poor attitude toward her, Veronica's not dumb. She's been S classes dance captain for about three years and with that kind of responsibility made her very observant.
'People try to hide it, but I see the looks and glances they throw at me.' She sighed, 'I hope this Norah doesn't ruin my relationship here with the others.'
Jenny on the other hand was happy enough to partner up with David, the two are pretty similar when it comes their style of dance.
'David isn't just a good dancer, he's also a very talented musician and knows how to keep up with the beat of the song.'
David smiles as he sits in front of the camera, 'I've been playing guitar for a long time and even dance to them when I worship the Lord.'
Francine, Jeremy and Zara decided to dance as a trio.
Catelynn was partnered Samson.
And lastly Tyler asked Kelsie about them being partners, she was a little flustered at first but agreed.
'I may or may not have an itsy-bitsy tiny crush on Tyler.' She blurts out, then her eyes widened, and she covered her mouth, 'Ah- oh my... w- what if he watches this?' The girl's face turned red.
Tyler nudges her shoulder, and she turns her head to look at him. He slightly points to the right of them, and she turned to see Westly and Norah.
The sight made her aww, Norah was moving her hands in animated way and Westly just had a smile on his face listening to the cheery girl.
Veronica though, didn't feel the same and walked over to them.

Norah was telling Westly about her childhood and man, this girl has a very interesting life. She used to live in California before moving here to New York and her mother is a professional ballet dancer.
"They let you perform with her on stage?"
"Yeah." Norah nodded.
"That's so cool."
"It was fun and now I'm here! Having even more fun!" She cheered and he laughed.
Someone cleared their throat, and the two turned their heads to see a not so happy Veronica glaring at them with her hands placed on her hips.
"Hi, Veronica." Westly greets, Norah stood silent beside him awkwardly looking at the floor.
"Can you please keep it down? Some people still need to rehearse." She said in a hard tone. Westly glanced at Norah and nodded his head, "Yeah, sorry."
"Thank you." She gave Norah one last look before turning around and walking away.
'After she walked away, I let out a breath I didn't even know I was holding.'
Westly gently laid a hand on Norah's shoulder and asked, "Are you okay?" She was still looking at the floor still, she finally looked up at him and nodded.
The look she gave him made him want to give her a hug, and he would of, but he doesn't know if that would be weird since they barely know each other.
'Norah needs a friend and that's exactly what I'm going to be for her.' Westly smiled as he spoke in front of the camera.
