Riley's pov
I roll my eyes as I'm being dragged to the Squeezed. Did Emily really have to do that? I swear I could have slapped her. But the good thing was, I think James felt that way too. I'm starting to think he likes me. Riley! No! He's a player.
"Guys, come on." Michelle yells, inturuppting whatever we were talking about. I wasn't paying too much attention, thinking about James just seems better. "Miss Kate put up the list for A-troupe."
Hearing that, the E-girls got up and ran to studio A.
When I got there, my stomach was doing flips. I could feel the tension as I stood waiting to see who got in. I just really, really wanted to get in. Hopefully with James.

I was so relieved when I saw my name. Weights are lifted off my shoulders. I could scream my guts out. I'm glad that James made it in too, another year with him sounds awesome. Although, it does decrease the chance that I will get over him anytime soon. I give Giselle a hug and jump around with her and the rest of the girls. Then I notice James walking up to me. I get butterflies in my stomach and heat rises to my cheeks as he approaches.
"Oh hey, James." I greet casually, hiding the fact that I could throw up. In the good way, of course.
"Hi Ri." He says, with that charming smile of his.
"Congrats by the way." I look down, trying to hide the blush that was burning on my cheeks.
"Thanks, you too." He chuckles a little. "Though, its no surprise you got in."
"Thanks." I say, feeling my cheeks get ten times hotter.
James pov
Riley has no idea how cute she looks. She's failing to hide her blush, and I just find that so funny. I am so glad I get to see her every day for another year. Maybe, this year I will finally ask her out on a date. She was fiddling with her ring now. And she looked smoking hot. I just want to give her a hug. Then I heard a voice that I despised so terribly. Beth.
"Jamie James, where are youuuuu?" Beth says. And I was about to slap her for ruining out moment, except I would never hit a girl. I turned around to face her.
"Um Beth, I can't talk right now." I say quickly. But she clings on to my arm.
"Can you believe I didn't make it? I thought I did good." She says. I can feel Riley roll her eyes. I sigh.
"Yeah, maybe next year." I fake smile, pushing her off me. I hope she gets over me by then. Sometimes I wish I could scream, "Beth. I do not like you. Go away!"
But of course, I can't.
I am praying that she goes away soon, by she isn't moving. Instead, she keeps clinging onto my arm. Talk about annoying!
When Kate calls us for our first rehearsal, I feel so relieved.
"Ugh, I gotta go to rehearsals. By Beth." I say faking a frown. I shake her off my arm and walk away.
