The Hills Have Eyes

Chapter 2

It was 5 o' clock in the morning and the girls and I were at rehearsals, practicing to prepare to go to Korea. I helped our choreographer, Sohey, in correcting my members whenever they had a few errors in executing their steps.

"Ladies, this is the final straw. We only have a week before we're off to Seoul, lets make the best of this!" He clapped his hand to to the beat, "1,2,3 Touch, touch..."

I hit every step successfully but all I could think of right now is my bed. I was exhausted, and I could tell that the girls were too. They were not their usual loud and goofy self during practice. The only person who looked composed was Sophia. She was more so focused on cleaning up any slight errors she had, like her facial expressions.

Sohey sensed the energy in the room as he tried to encourage us, "I promise you girls you'll be thanking me later after you devour those performances!"

"Lets go girls, we got this!" Sophia spurred on.

Yoonchae yawned and rolled her eyes, which made me chuckle a little. I loved how she was getting more comfortable and expressive around us, not to mention sassy.

"Ugh, I need a coffee," Lara muttered under her breath.

"Same," Manon agreed. "We need to go get some coffee after this. We deserve it."

"Right."

The rehearsals were over and we did our daily dose of tiktoks for the eyekons, and left the dance studio.

I drove the girls to a nearby cafe that we always go to.

"Caffeine Cove I missed you," Megan stretched out her hands and yelled.

Manon and I decided to order all of the drinks for the girls, while they sit. The cashier came to us and the way that she looked at Manon somehow made me angry.

"Well, well, what can I get for you?" she smirked. She probably didn't even realize that I was there too, her eyes fixated on Manon.

I looked over at Manon who was clearly affected by the way the blonde was looking at her.

"Uhm, can I get...." Manon stuttered a little, a tint of red on her cheeks.

I decided to barge in. "Could we....." and I made sure to place emphasis on the 'we'.

"Thank you very much," I grabbed two of the drinks while Manon grabbed the rest. We set them down on the table.

"Y'all couldn't have bought a donut, cookie, or something too?" Megan argued as she took her coffee.

"Ohh, we can bake cookies when we go home!" Sophia said excitedly.

"Sorry, baking is not my cup of coffee," Megan snickered.

"Ha-ha-ha," Sophia laughed sarcastically.

The rest of us burst out into laughter, and Manon in her clumsiness knocked her coffee over and it spilled unto my top.

I opened my mouth in pain, yet no sound came out. I quickly pulled the hot jersey away from my chest. "Geez, Manon."

"Well they don't call her a minion for nothing," Megan joked, which sent the girls into a next laughing fit.

"Excusez-moi," she grabbed my arm and we went to the bathroom."

"Danii, lo siento." She grabbed a few paper towels and after slightly wetting them, started dabbing my jersey.

She looked so concerned and focused on taking out the stain, it made a small smile appear on my lips. Her braids fell down to her hips as she leaned forward, and her-

"Are you okay?" she looked up at me.

"Yeah."

"I don't know, you just seem so quiet," she chuckled.

"It's the pain, girl."

Sure Daniela.

She raised my jersey up and gave me a light kiss on my stomach. "Better?"

"Woah," my eyes widened and I could feel my cheeks getting hot. I was not expecting that.

Dani: 1
Blonde girl: 0

I chuckled a little in my head.

"Was that too much?"

"No, no, that's better," I nod my head, trying to stifle my smile.

She smirked at me, and threw the wet paper towels in the bin. We left the bathroom and one of the janitors were already cleaning the table. Most of the girls were finished with their coffee so we decided to leave. This time Megan drove because I was slightly wounded.

The girls and I were cuddled up together, having a movie night. Sophia and Yoonchae baked some cookies, while Megan made us popcorn. We were watching Inside Out 2, once again, thanks to Yoonchae. Half an hour into the movie, Megan and Sophia fell asleep. The rest of us were silently watching the movie, sleep slowly taking over. I was about to doze off when I heard Manon's phone ringing. I peeked at it, through hooded eyes, and it read:

Jude💍

Huh?

I sat up and looked over at Manon, who stirred a little at the ringing, and woke up. I grabbed the phone and gave it to her.

"Jude is calling," I stared at her as she took the phone away from me quickly and got up.

Who is Jude?

I didn't want to go back to sleep. Infact, I wasn't even tired anymore. I got up and as I was about to walk away, I heard Lara's voice, "Dani where are you going?"

"I'll be right back, gonna go use the bathroom."

"Alright."

I opened the door to the bathroom and just stared at myself in the mirror. Why was I doing this? I honestly don't know.
I heard the door to the room open and so I went out, and Manon was in her closet. She took out a lilac crop top with a butterfly print in the middle, and a jeans shorts. She put it on, not before grabbing a beanie and putting some lip stick on.

I wasn't sure if she noticed that I was standing here, so I decided to let her know.

"Where are you going?"

She turned around, startled. "Oh you scared me," she laughed, putting her hands to her chest. "Do you know about the British footballer, Jude Belligham? He slid up in my DMs I kid you not," she said excitedly.

She was interrupted by her phone ringing again. She answered it and mouthed, "I'll tell you later," heading out the door.
