Michelle's pov:
I've given the dancers a short break as I've been working them so hard. Normally, I would do this, but I wanted to check in with emily how her baby ballet class went.

She's always complaining about sitting in the office, so I decided to give her a class to teach for a few hours.

I take a look around the room at the dancers talking amongst themselves so whilst they're all in their own worlds, I make my way towards the office.

"Hey." I announce my presence to emily.

"Oh hey!" She says, seeming pretty cheerful.

I take a step further into the office, placing my hands on the desk as I lean over it, "So how did the class go?" I ask her.

"It was great!" She let's me know.

"It was actually a lot of fun."

The baby ballet dancers are only just getting started in the dance world. They're not important to me yet, which is why I don't have much else to say.

"That's good.." I nod.

"How's it going here?" She then asks me, breaking the silence.

Now I have something to complain about, "It was going well. Until noah and jaquie ruined it for everyone." I begin.

She seems interested in what I have to say, "Oh..?"

"Yeah, they wouldn't stop getting distracted by each other and ruined my choreo!"

Suddenly, she chuckles to herself, leaving me confused.

"What's funny?" I immediately question her.

"Well, um, they seem pretty distracted right now, too.." she tells me, pointing over to the office window.

I quickly turn my head, moving closer towards the window to take a look at what she's talking about.

Suddenly, a sick feeling hits my stomach as I look to see jaquie and niah making out in the corner of the room.

"That's disgusting." I try not to show that I'm bothered by it.

Truthfully, it does bother me... it makes me feel quite jealous, actually. The dancers have better relationships than emily and I doing and it makes me feel quite sad.

Especially jaquie and noah... they're all over each other every chance they get. I just wish that I had that...

All emily and I ever do now is argue and fight over stupid shit, and half the time, I'm the one that causes it.

Seeing them like that does make me jealous, and it shouldn't.. I know that.. but I can't help it.

"Michelle?" I hear Emily's voice.

I quickly snap out of my trance, turning to her as I say, "I have to stop that."

As I make my way out of the office, I hear her laughing to herself, "Is somebody jealous?"

"I'm not jealous!" I let her know very clearly.

I storm out of the office, instantly projecting my voice across the room, "Alright, you've had enough time! Back to positions."

Suddenly, I find myself getting irritated when the only two that don't listen to me are jaquie and noah, I fold my arms, waiting patiently for them to realise that they're making a fool of themselves.

"Jaquie! Noah! Move it! Now!" I say, watching as all heads turn to the back of the room.

Jaquie chuckles as they pull away from each other, "Sorry.. " she mumbles.

"This is a dance studio! Not your bedroom!" I let them know.

Jaquie rolls her eyes, "Yeah, I got that."

I show the anger inside of me across my face as I continue with rehearsal.

"Alright, let's go. Positions, everyone!"
