The Next Step Highschool

Chapter 19

Callie's POV

I'm wondering why Hunter freaked out. It's not like him to do that. Maybe someone is changing him. Hunter is coming to talk to Michelle. She does know about this and thinks it a bad idea, but hopefully they can rebuild their brother-sister relationship.

There's a knock on the door. I see Destiny go to open it. Hunter stands there biting his lip.

"Hunter!" Destiny smiles and hugs him.

"hey Des!" Hunter smiles.

I give him a big hug. I know what he did was wrong but he's here to fix it.

"how is she?" he asks nervously.

"she's doing well. She does miss you a lot though." Destiny says.

"do you know where she is?"

"MICHELLE!" I yell.

She comes down with a frown. She sees her brother and looks down nodding her head. They then go outside.

"see you girls soon!" Hunter says.

I nod and I close the door. Destiny and I then go to get her ready for her tea party with her friends at a birthday party.

Hunter's POV

We are walking down the beach. We haven't said anything yet.

"why?" I hear Michelle squeak out.

"I-I don't know I was just really shocked of that text message that "you" sent me" I say looking down. "I guess I paid more attention to the message than what you were saying. I mean you would never say anything like that."

Michelle nods her head turning towards the beach. I follow her and we stare out into the sea. We have moved so many times and I've always been there for her. We were actually born here, moved to New York, then Atlanta Georgia and then Madison. Then to Toronto.

"so how is everyone at school?" Michelle asks turning towards me.

"um...they kinda...started hanging out with Stephanie, Beth and Emily. Beth actual-"

"yeah I know, she got a boyfriend herself. Me and her have been texting. I have texted Riley lately."

"ook I'm really sorry. I've been a terrible brother to you and if you need some time to forgive me and trust me then I'll let you take all the time. I just want you to know that you'll always be my baby sister."

Michelle's POV

"you'll always be my baby sister." Hunter says.

Those 6 words keep on repeating over my head. I then realize that Hunter looks really disappointed in himself. He's my brother. Hunter and I have had rough patches so I just have to treat this as a really hard one but we always find a way to forgive each other.

Hunter looks down. I see...water in his eyes. Aw is my big brother tearing up? I throw my arms around him and hug him really tight. He hugs me back.

"I forgive you, I forgive you!" I say over and over into his ear.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." He keeps on repeating in my ear. I pull away and I see tears in his eyes.

"aw is my big bwother crying?" I tease.

"shut up!" he ruffles my hair.

He always does that to mess with me. Well now I will mess with his hair. muwahaha! I pull him down to the beach and once we're down there I spray him with water.

"oh no you didn't!" He screeches.

"oh yes I,...did!" I yell back.

We end up having a water fight and we walk back with his arm around my neck always making me bump into stuff. We pull apart and start talking. Hunter then gets his face slammed into a pole. I burst out laughing.

"owie that hurt! Man down, man down!" Hunter cries.

"oh man up!" I spit.

He gets up and we walk back home. We literally have cousins almost everywhere in the world. Most of them are in the states. Our 3rd, 4th and 5th cousins live in Mexico, Caribbean. Our I believe 11th cousins live in Australia and Europe. Come to think of it I could have gone to Mexico to see my other cousins. Eh...I can go there next time I have to get away.:)

I'm just really glad Hunter and I have each other again. Of course I can last about a long time away from him but if we're in a fight and not talking or on good terms then I miss him because we would always talk with each other.

"Michelle! Let's go get some dinner from a restaurant at the beach." Hunter calls.

I get changed into a beach dress and I see Callie also in one, Destiny has a dress and Hunter is in flip flops and a muscle tee. We all head out and go to P.F.Chang's. It's literally not far from the beach so yeah!

Emily's POV

I really hope they don't come back. Even though Riley is with James and is wearing new clothes she's hanging out with me more. My plan is to get all of them against Michelle. Not Hunter. I wouldn't mind him stay8ing but Michelle I want to move.

Beth's POV

 I've kept my distance from all of my friends lately because I don't want to go against Michelle. I got on good terms with her so I don't want to ruin it. Also she said she would bring me to meet her family some time and also teach me some new dance moves. I hear a beep on my phone it's Michelle. She posted something on insta.

her caption: this was fun. Can't wait to bring some of you here!

It's a picture of her, Hunter and I'm guessing her cousins in a restaurant and then on the beach with the sunset in the background and of them walking away from a side angle. Then I get a text from Riley.

back off of Michelle!

why?...

you don't know her. You aren't a good friend to her

but Riley...you kind of agreed with Emily and the others and got upset with Michelle

because I can't be friends with someone who likes her brother

I turn my phone off. Does that mean that she doeosn't like people that are gay? Did she really mean that?

Riley's POV

Oh god, no no no no no! Beth might show that to Michelle. I've heard she and Michelle have been messaging each other. I'm just a bit jealous. I really hope Beth doesn't show that to Michelle otherwise Michelle will hate me!

.........................

The Next Day

I see Beth and I run up to her. She looks a bit shocked but sees me and smiles for only a splint second.

"hey um did you send that to Michelle?" I ask.

"no, why?"

"because I was I guess...I don't know...jealous that you and Michelle are talking. I thought you were gonna steal her from me."

"oh Riley...I'll never do that. You were the first one Michelle remembered meeting. I'm still earning her full trust. You've got about 90% of her trust. Me, 70%. She's never gonna forget you."

"wow, thanks Beth."

"oh it's actually Bethany. I just have Beth for short but my full name is Bethany. Also I didn't send it to her because I figured it was one of those mistakes that people make when their mad."

"thank you so much!"

I go in and as I go in I'm stopped by Emily.

"did yo actually just talk to Beth?" She snarls.

"yeah why?" i ask standing up.

"she's trying to prove to you that Michelle is innocent. She's not! She likes her own brother!"

I glare at Emily and walk away. I hear a few people follow me. Well actually most. I look back and I see everyone following me but Stephanie, Emily and....Eldon. Well I guess it's kind of obvious why Eldon would stay back.
